Expertise
Androschin & Partners Management Consulting supports the implementation of key strategic programs (e.g. merger, divestment, transformation, restructuring projects or process optimization) through the establishment and operational management of Project Management Offices (PMO) for a defined period of time. Key success factors in achieving the identified targets (esp. the realization of revenue growth and performance improvement) include precisely specified actions and milestones, clear ownership and systematic progress tracking. Growth potential from the development of new markets and areas of expertise needs to be integrated in the business plan. And it is important to thoroughly optimize processes and organizational structures, from sales to after sales and everything in-between, in the interests of value creation. In many cases, lack of implementation focus and a shortage of the right resources results in some of the potential failing to materialize.
