Number of the Quarter:

35%

The percentage of items from price lists, previously agreed upon with suppliers, that are outdated within 6-9 months due to the needs of companies continuously advancing. This fact results in the evaporation of a substantial amount of saving potential. It is therefore essential to ensure continuous and sustainable savings.

Burning Question of the Quarter:

How does one accomplish the sustainable implementation of project results – on your own or with external support?

At the end of any consulting project, extensive knowledge and experience has been generated and ultimately has to be implemented within the organization.
To achieve the desired results in the long run, an organization needs to implement project results in a sustainable way. It is self-evident that continuous work after project completion is essential, and that project results need to be integrated in a sustainable way within the organization, either by external consultants or by the employees.
On one hand, employees should know their business area and company better than external consultants, and sooner or later the company’s employees need to be responsible for the continuation of the project. However, consultants are typically subject experts, and ideally have experience from having already implemented similar project results elsewhere. Please join the discussion:
