Business Innovation & Strategy
Using the times of disruption for new beginnings
Many markets are changing rapidly: Innovative, often digital, technologies enable superior products and services, customers wants and needs change throughout their journey, new competitors shake up old market structures worldwide. This creates not only risks but also strategic opportunities galore, which should definitely be taken advantage of. KPS supports manufacturers, retailers and service providers with award-winning methods, superior strategic concepts and highly effective innovation programmes.

Business and IT must be transformed hand in hand
Digitalisation is accelerating the development of entire industries. Changing needs and customer demographics, as well as new competitors and technologies, mean that existing business strategies need to be updated in ever tighter cycles and innovative concepts need to be developed, tested and scaled effectively with even more momentum. The Coronavirus pandemic has further driven these developments. In the process, it is becoming apparent that many retailers, wholesalers and manufacturers are not yet perfectly prepared for the new challenges – especially when compared to the fast-growing digital platforms.
The gap between these digital market leaders and many established companies is often caused by a lack of alignment between business and IT as well as by IT systems that are not up to the new requirements – in terms of speed, innovative capacity, scalability and cost efficiency.In addition, many innovation programmes produce good prototypes, but no scaling market successes emerge from them.Our observation: Strategically, existing processes are adapted step by step, but new implementations are too often left to others. The immense opportunities of digitally-driven changes pass by unused. We want to prevent this together with our clients by transforming business and IT hand in hand.
