Business Model & Growth

When it comes to topics related to innovation and digitalization (AI, IoT, automation, etc), Carsten Vollrath and his team are a top address.

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.

IPG is a reliable partner in strategy development and implementation. They take the time to involve all stakeholders in the process. Also they have excellent research capabilities that are highly flexible, allowing us to pursue an agile and fast strategy development process. Beyond formulating the strategy, IPG works with stakeholders across the organization to aid implementation, too.

In addition to intensive analyses on the market and customer side with IPG, the impulses from many external experts and potential development partners that IPG involved in our innovation work were trend-setting on our way from a classical machine manufacturer to a solution provider and strategic business partner for our customers.

The IPG Open Innovation approach has brought us new ideas and concrete solutions much faster, significantly increased our development productivity and integrated potential development suppliers into the process early on. The expectations we had placed in the project were exceeded.

IPG’s deep expertise in Strategy & Business Model Innovation proved highly valuable. Another key success factor was the close collaboration with our organization, combined with a pragmatic, results-oriented approach. Within months, a clear roadmap was established and full management alignment was secured.
