On the path to our new strategy, we asked key questions about market trends, their pace of development, and how we wanted to position our future offering. Clear and pragmatic answers emerged through a collaborative process that combined forward-thinking ideas with broad organizational input. IPG’s approach, together with its senior consultants, made a decisive contribution to our development.

Within just a few weeks, we identified key improvement potential using IPG’s benchmarking approach, developed a clear roadmap, and secured full alignment from our Global Supply Chain Management team. Especially valuable was IPG’s trend analysis, which highlighted important market drivers that will shape our supply chain strategy in the years ahead.

Kai Könecke

DIGITAL FITNESS along our entire JOST value creation process is a key success factor for us. Together with IPG, we were able to uncover important efficiency potential in purchasing, supply chain and production and define valuable focal points for future digital solutions in company-wide JOST process management.


Dirk Hanenberg

As recognized Thought Leader and Co-Creator for innovation with an impressive track record in the digital transformation of leading companies, IPG's expertise within the Swiss national INDUSTRIE 2025 initiative, especially with regards to the development of unique digital business models, is highly appreciated!


Philip Hauri

Platform Manager NEXT INDUSTIES

IPG has helped a lot to focus on creating something really new instead of letting the same thing become more intense. Together with IPG, we have managed to design a fully connected & harmonized operating model and cross-regional shared functions to leverage both our size as well as our expertise. As key result we thereby substantially increased our sales efficiency and productivity.
