Corporate & Business Development

FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF THE CORPORATE CULTURE

A unifying corporate culture with shared values is the cornerstone for acting inside and outside the organisation. A corporate culture can change over the decades of a company, which is why in these projects the companies once again put their values to the test.

After an analysis, we worked with the respective company to set up an implementation plan for the further development of the corporate culture within the company and defined suitable methods for the different target groups. We accompanied the companies until the first visible changes were made.

BUY-AND-BUILD-STRATEGY

In the context of strategic considerations, we accompanied the management and the board of a medium-sized group of companies with regard to a buy-and-build strategy. We structured the critical success factors, drafted requirement profiles for possible targets, outlined implementation paths and moderated the decision-making process with regard to the future strategic orientation.

IMPLEMENTATION INTERNATIONALISATION

In order to implement an internationalisation strategy, the foundation of four foreign companies was designed and realised. Part of the project was the support of the foundation, the selection of the CEO, the start of the operative business activity, the connection to the group as well as the securing of financing with local credit institutions.

SEPARATION FROM A CO-PARTNER

We assisted the CEO of a company in shareholder disputes. We discussed possible consequences and prepared a future-oriented company valuation. Within the framework of a moderation of the shareholders’ meeting, a balanced solution was found for the remaining and the departing shareholders.

PREPARATION MBO

In preparation for an MBO, a production company was realigned. We analysed and modified the strategic orientation, the business model and all relevant company processes from sales to production and administration. We sustainably increased turnover and earnings through an integrative change project.

PREPARATION OF COMPANY SUCCESSION

We developed a strategy for age-related succession for an entrepreneur in the service sector. As a basis, we developed a requirements profile for possible successors as well as the coaching results for dealing with family interests. On this basis, the sales process was initiated.

HR & Corporate Learning

QUALIFICATION MANAGEMENT

To ensure the efficient implementation of qualification management, a role model was developed that creates a link between the defined qualifications and the employees to be qualified. A digital learning platform ensures the implementation, documentation and reporting within the qualification management.

ESTABLISHMENT OF NEW LOCATION; HR STRUCTURES AND RECRUITING

As part of a growth strategy, we developed the strategy for setting up a new location. For its implementation, we supported the development of structures and processes in the HR area and were responsible for the development and implementation of the employer branding concept and for the recruiting concept.

DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF AN EMPLOYER BRANDING CONCEPT

After analysing the current situation of employer branding in the company, we developed an employee persona and experience and defined a roadmap for short- to long-term measures. In order to achieve the objective – to be more visible as an attractive employer and thus to receive a higher number of qualitative applications – THE MAK’ED TEAM took over the implementation of the identified measures.

IMPLEMENTIERUNG ONBOARDING PROGRAMM

For an attractive and successful start of new employees, an onboarding programme was implemented. Our conception took into account the required onboarding content through different methods within a blended learning system and ensured the anchoring of the programme in the HR team.

ESTABLISHMENT AND MANAGEMENT OF TRAINING CENTRES & FURTHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS

In this area, we provide support from the establishment of further education institutions and training academies to the development of blended learning concepts and the organisation and implementation of qualification measures. The development of skilled workers for companies, both at home and abroad, plays a role above all in the development of companies and internationalisation.

One example: As part of a private university in Haiti, a training centre was established to qualify people for the labour market. Part of the work was the establishment of the centre, the development of further education products, the marketing and sale of the products, the training and supervision of trainers as well as the training of a team of the further education centre.

STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION: PERSONNEL DEVELOPMENT 4.0

After an analysis of the current state of learning in the company, how HR development is carried out and where the company wants to go, a strategy with a concept for future HR development and the desired agile learning culture was developed. The next steps included drawing up an implementation plan for changing the mindset in the company, including time planning, selecting methods and setting milestones, building up the competences in the HR development team with regard to agile learning culture and digitalisation, and support for the development and implementation of the first methods for changing the learning culture.

STRATEGIE-ENTWICKLUNG: LEARNING & DEVELOPMENT

Auf Basis einer Analyse des Ist-Zustandes hinsichtlich der Themen Learning & Development in diesem Unternehmen, entwickelten wir zusammen mit unserem Kunden eine Strategie für den Bereich Learning & Development/Personalentwicklung in direkter Anlehnung an die Unternehmensstrategie: Qualifikationsbedarfe, Talentprogramme, Karrierepfade, Veränderung der Lernkultur. Klare Ziele wurden festgelegt und das benötigte Budget für die Erreichung der Ziele wurden erarbeitet.

INTRODUCTION OF A LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

In this project, an LMS was selected and implemented after an analysis of the current situation and the desired target situation regarding the type and scope of a learning management system. In parallel, workshops were held to develop learning formats and, based on the workshop results, blended learning concepts were developed with different learning/teaching methods that were mapped in the learning management system.

IMPLEMENTATION KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

For further development in line with the strategy, we analysed the existing methods of anchoring knowledge in a group of companies. From this, a knowledge management system was developed and implemented. We conducted training for the users and took measures for the sustainable use of knowledge sharing and the use of existing knowledge.

ADAPTATION OF PROCESSES AND STRUCTURES OF AN IN-HOUSE TRAINING ACADEMY

For the further development of an in-house training academy, we were asked to review structures, processes and standards and to introduce the subsequent defined changes and develop new concepts. In the process, the team of the training academy was accompanied in the adaptation of processes and standards and further developed by us over a longer period of time.

TASKFORCE: MAINTAINING OPERATIONALLY NECESSARY QUALIFICATIONS

We were called in to provide advice, project management and moderation for the clearing of a qualification backlog in a large infrastructure company.

INTRODUCTION OF AN LMS & TRAINING OF ONLINE INSTRUCTORS

We introduced the Moodle learning management system at a peacekeeping school in Mali and enabled distance learning through sustainable solutions and the training of online trainers.

INTRODUCTION OF A COMPETENCE MODEL

We introduced a comprehensible and needs-oriented competence model at a construction company and thus integrated competence management into the existing HR management system.

Finance & Controlling

FINANCIAL MODEL FOR CASH PLANNING

Within the framework of a restructuring project, we verified the existing liquidity planning of a consulting company by calculating the liquidity development using the direct method. The cash flows in the company were systematically analysed, the basis for process optimisation was created and cash reserves were made usable for the company through working capital management.

IMPLEMENTATION INTERNATIONALISATION

In order to implement an internationalisation strategy, the foundation of four foreign companies was designed and realised. Part of the project was the support of the foundation, the selection of the CEO, the start of the operative business activity, the connection to the group as well as the securing of financing with local credit institutions.

PLANNING, CONTROLLING, REPORTING

To professionalise the processes, we developed and implemented an integrated corporate planning for a three-tier group with different reporting levels. This involved modifying the accounting systems of the individual companies and the group, thus creating an integrated control system. Our work also included the selection and implementation of software tools.

We are makers.

We see ourselves as MAKERS, partners and project managers for our clients with the aim of pushing their future viability. With our high level of practical knowledge and our many years of international experience, we work worldwide.
