The maturity assessment is the first step used to review the existing infrastructure and identify the potential of technology with a holistic approach. The results will reflect the current technological standpoint of the business and the gap until the desired maturity level. These are followed by recommendations for next steps of the strategy design. 

Strategy is what defines a company’s positioning in the digital economy. A well-designed strategy creates resilient businesses and brings them a competitive advantage. 

We design the strategy pipeline for digital transformation and implement a methodology for project prioritization. This also includes the evaluation of current projects and their integration in a holistic strategic approach. 

We provide holistic support to companies in implementing their strategic pipeline and in individual projects.

For companies looking for support in implementing their strategy, we provide specialized and dedicated teams to assist in the Organization, Finance, Software development and PMO. 

We provide support in building innovation ecosystems, driving openness and promoting an active interaction with suppliers, customers, new disrupting firms and players from adjacent industries. This includes, but is not limited to, evaluation and selection of suppliers, research of start-ups and targeting potential partnerships. 

Detailed analysis of individual projects in terms of implementation, cost estimation and ROI projection.

Each project is evaluated within the context of the company’s digitalization strategy and by analyzing the company’s positioning within the industry’s competitive landscape. 

We offer tailored programs based on the real requirements of each company, with customized trainings on change management and competence empowerment workshops to promote a culture of innovation and agile ways of working. 

Developing capabilities and implementing a culture of innovation at all levels of the organization is a fundamental step towards digital transformation.

We offer trainings and workshops to prepare teams for digital. This can be done in an open format or with customized programs adapted to the context of each organization.
