The fourth industrial revolution is affecting all manufacturing industries. What effects and opportunities arise for organizations, processes, products and customers is often not clear.

We support you in finding and defining the right strategy for you and formulating the necessary fields of action in a roadmap that can realistically be implemented.

You can rely on MARKTGUT to bring a wealth of practical experience in the areas of procurement management, cost management and digital management to this process.

Our practical experience is based on the creation of corporate strategies, the design of business strategies as well as the definition of functional strategies, which have sustainably realized the ideal alignment and optimal value for the respective client.

• Integrating innovations
• Expand technical maturity levels
• Economic benefit versus investment
• Efficient use of qualifications

When implementing processes and methods in IT systems, there are a variety of challenges. Without neutral expert knowledge and established methods such as user-centered design, this can quickly develop into a wrong direction and lead to unintended consequences.

Therefore, we invite you to use our experience for strategic alignment, requirements management, vendor selection and rollout support for the introduction and implementation of vendor-independent systems such as

• SRM, SCM
• Ratings / Audits
• eSourcing, supplier portals, PLC / EPC
• Collaboration, Saving Management
• Planning systems, reporting (BW, BI)

Changing organizations or methods, as well as the integration of IT tools often leads to challenges in any given project: usually deadlines or agreed upon promises are not met or agreed upon deliveries do not meet the needs.

Thanks to a wide range of experience in project reviews, MARKTGUT is specialized in analyzing any given situation and, as a neutral partner, steering the interests of all parties back in the right direction.

How can we successfully support our customers in IT projects based on shared visions?

The answer to this question is given in our training "Business relevance in IT projects", as the goal of the training is to convey applicable knowledge for the successful implementation of IT projects. The focus here is primarily on the interconnection of technical and business relevant knowledge in order to understand customer needs as well as to be able to serve them optimally.

• For project managers, developers and sales representatives
• Group size of 10-15 participants for two days
• 8 phases of project management
• Theoretical topics, such as industrial project management, user center design, verbal and non-verbal communication and 5DOBT

In our training courses on user centricity, we provide participants with practical methods and tools for the implementation of projects, taking into account user requirements and usability.

"Creating value through procurement controlling" is the title of the 2-day training by our expert for controlling topics in procurement management.

With valuable tips from more than 25 years of management activity in major companies, participants will receive new impulses for their activities in procurement management or controlling.

• For managers and responsible employees from the purchasing department
• Development of a successful controlling system

Which projects are of value to my company? How can I control and monitor efficiently? And how do I manage to make our success measurable?

For these challenges in multi-project management, we have developed methods and systems that support the holistic management of projects within the company. The focus is on reducing complexity and supporting innovation and cooperation from the idea to the success of the project. With the help of our value engine, we offer systemic support for uniform data storage, maximum transparency and mobile availability. We attach great importance to a methodology developed from practical experience with minimum complexity and maximum coverage of information requirements.

How can companies determine how far they have developed compared to other companies in the areas of cost management, procurement management and digital management and how much potential has not yet been used?

MARKTGUT's own Excellence Rating provides answers to precisely these questions and shows companies their own situation through an objective view. On the basis of a questionnaire and expert interviews, the development status of the corresponding area in the company is analysed and the results are transferred to the rating. The classification of the development status is based on a 4-level rating model, which is defined by defined criteria and maps the levels in an informative, controlling, integrative and optimizing manner. After the status has been finally determined, the target development can also be determined so that the unused potential in the 5DOBT can be determined in monetary terms and action measures to achieve this goal can be derived.
