Sound strategy. High performance. Great teams.
Performance Management
How can the management of a big company keep the overview of the different decentralized units these days? How can important developments and the right priorities be recognized? How can a CEO remain in the right „film“ today?
The management of the company performance in big companies with decentralized structures is a real challenge. Because of the high complexity and individuality of multiple units, the real events are more and more a blackbox.
The Performance Management approach of Digma illuminates the important developments in the company units specific and at an early stage. Therefore financials and operational key figures are connected and supervised. On the other hand the developed concepts are managed and the consequences and results are traced. So the structured implementation of measures is guaranteed and die effects of the implementations become transparent. In well directed review meetings the management gets an exact picture of the actual situation. Because of the „spotlight“ Performance Management the management recognizes its chances and threats early and is able to steer the company to the right course.

Strategy Development
Are cost-cutting and increases in efficiency enough to ensure the long-term success of a company?
The greatest challenge facing many of our clients to date is to ensure sustainable profitable growth, whether it is organic through innovation or via acquisition. We support our clients throughout the whole strategy process and involve as many individuals and perspectives as the development of a broadly based and achievable strategy requires. For an organization that is motivated and ready for a new challenge, the result of this process may turn out to be a comprehensive strategy document or a complete business plan.

Strategy
Implementation
How many companies struggle with the operational implementation of innovative business models in their core business? How often do they fail because of a lack of coordination in the details?
Our planning deliberately includes all key personnel, with the aim of smooth implementation and coordination between the various corporate departments. Detailed concepts are developed together with the department delegate. New processes and organizations go through a test run and are fine-tuned before being implemented.
