According to the current Industry 4.0 Index, the results of ongoing digitization activities exceed expectations in 12 percent of German companies – in some cases even significantly. Successful digitizers agree on the reason: A structured approach and targeted development of expertise make all the difference. Companies that have yet to achieve their goals in terms of Industry 4.0 are also aware of this. For the German Industry 4.0 Index, business consultancy Staufen together with experts from Staufen Digital Neonex surveyed more than 300 industrial companies in Germany.

Staufen AG continues its success story in the region of Central and Eastern Europe. Alexander Wagner took over the position of Head of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) at the turn of the year and will support customers on site together with an experienced team.

Köngen – 25 years after its establishment, Staufen corporate consulting is still on a clear growth course. In the past year, the 340 employees of this global transformation consulting company generated sales of approximately EUR 70 million.

Köngen – The backbone of the German economy cannot react quickly enough to weak economic phases or game changers. Around half of mechanical engineering companies are slowed down by static processes, business consultancy Staufen found in a study. In view of a declining order intake, savings potential should now be leveraged and efficiency increases implemented.

Köngen – Germany’s corporate leaders have made a clear decision: Anyone planning larger change, transformation or digitization projects cannot ignore the Lean Management experts from Staufen AG. Because only those who have their processes under control – from purchasing to production to administration and sales – can master the necessary change. These are the results of the renowned industry study “Hidden Champions 2020/21″prepared by the Wissenschaftliche Gesellschaft für Management und Beratung, spearheaded by Prof. Dietmar Fink, in which more than 700 executives of Germany’s leading major corporations and medium-sized businesses were surveyed.

Especially in times of constant change, supporting executives in a targeted manner is crucial for success. Consequently, 37 percent of German companies have already firmly established coaching and supervision as part of their leadership development. 41 percent of companies plan to implement such instruments in the future or are currently being developed. These are the results of the “Success in Change” study. Management consultancy Staufen interviewed more than 400 top executives from German companies for this study.

The German economy is on the verge of a recession. However, many companies are not prepared. More than half of companies must admit that their structures are neither flexible nor adaptable. Moreover, only every second company has reviewed its own processes with regard to upcoming challenges. These are the results of the “Success in Change” study. Management consultancy Staufen interviewed more than 400 top executives from German companies for this study.

59 percent of executives in Germany are convinced that their company succeeds in constantly adapting its own processes to the changes they face. Conversely, four out of ten companies fail to keep up with current upheavals. These are the results of the “Success in Change” study. Management consultancy Staufen interviewed more than 400 top executives from German companies for this study.

Anyone who thought a fundamentally pragmatic approach to consulting and an festive mood would contradict each other, would have had to look twice at the “Wagenhalle” in Stuttgart in mid-July. Around 500 employees, alumni and close companions celebrated the 25th anniversary of Staufen AG in the historic locomotive depot.
