The macroeconomic challenges that companies are currently facing are immense. To remain relevant and competitive, companies need to transform their business model, organization and culture and adapt them to the new realities. The three consulting companies IBsolution, W+W Consulting and BPM&O want to support companies on this path in the best possible way and bring their individual strengths to bear. The end-to-end transformation program enables companies to become process-oriented, data-driven and digital organizations.
“By combining our expertise in digitization, our process competence and our technological know-how, we create a truly holistic approach to transformation projects,” says Loren Heilig, Managing Director of IBsolution. “For companies, this opens up unimagined opportunities with regard to optimizing their processes and increasing their value creation.”
Every transformation begins with the definition of the corresponding requirements and should be carried out in a process-oriented manner. The REQUIRE360 tool from W+W Consulting, for example, provides support here. “Our software-as-a-service solution for requirements management collects strategic specifications (major business needs), suggestions, requirements and potential from all employees from every hierarchical level in the company with a reference to processes and manages them transparently until the final decision is made,” explains Dr. Joachim Weinbrecht, Managing Director of W+W Consulting GmbH.
Just like the requirements, an as-is analysis of the process landscape is also an important prerequisite for transformation success. The Process Potential Analysis (PPA) of long-term Signavio partner BPM&O GmbH analyzes the processes and identifies existing optimization potentials. “With our PPA method, we create the basis for an objective evaluation of the processes and can derive concrete recommendations for action,” explains Sven Schnägelberger, Managing Director of BPM&O GmbH. “In this way, companies can easily find out where there is the greatest need for digitization.”
To complement this, IBsolution offers a Quick Scan. Using focus interviews and workshops, it aims to work out the corporate strategy, analyze the processes and define the appropriate implementation measures.
The three companies also work closely together in the further implementation of the transformation. A special feature of the joint program of IBsolution, W+W Consulting and BPM&O, which distinguishes them from their market competitors, is the consistent end-to-end approach. Companies experience holistic support – from process and needs analysis, through project definition and technological implementation, to operation. Since a transformation is always accompanied by fundamental changes, change management is also part of successful project implementation. For this, the partners also offer suitable services to anchor the change in the organization and to take the employees along on the path of change.
The bundling of BPM&O’s process management skills, W+W Consulting’s expertise in requirements management, and IBsolution’s strategy and SAP know-how creates a holistic offering that companies can draw on to adapt their processes, organization and technologies to the current challenges of the business world. Companies are enabled to realize their business strategy and strengthen their market position. With its focus on core business requirements, the program aims to transform primarily those aspects that are relevant in the context of a company’s core business. This results in a significant strengthening of competitiveness.
