Where is the journey heading?

A good strategy is like a travel plan. It describes the best route to your objectives. How will your company position itself in the coming years? Which path do you want to take?

►  Why do we like to think about the future?

• to critically analyze the path taken so far
• to identify potential and agree on concrete objectives
• to select a realistic scenario for achieving these objectives

►  What distinguishes pragmatism from strategy?

• Many companies define their strategy merely in the form of an annual business plan, sales forecast or budget planning. In turbulent times, this may be pragmatic. But it has just as little to do with strategic action as driving purely by line of sight.
• Whether product portfolio or machinery requirements, property or factory building, assembly or warehouse capacity – investments in these structures must be planned for just as long a horizon as they are expected to be used.
• This also applies to logistics strategy topics, such as the development of supplier management or contract logistics with a logistics service provider committed over the long term.

That is why we develop so-called functional strategies – for sites, production and logistics.
