Corporate Performance
Our solutions for next-level performance in profitability, cash flow and resilience
The scale and complexity of the challenges facing business today mean that companies must do more than just sustainably improve their profitability and cash flow. They often need to realign their strategy, optimize their target operating model (TOM) or strengthen their resilience. Our national and international teams support clients throughout the entire process – from initiating the performance programs to successfully implementing them.
Holistic performance optimization – the full-potential program
Our holistic performance approach is for businesses looking for a sustainable improvement in their profitability across several value levers, often combined with a need for transformation across the whole company. It covers the entire lifecycle of performance transformation – from the initiation stages to the baseline and full-potential analysis to the execution phase, followed by tracking the impact in the income statement (P&L). With its modular structure, the program can be flexibly adapted to suit different sizes of companies and different circumstances.

Performance optimization for SMEs
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) constitute a very broad segment that is of considerable relevance for the economy as a whole, especially in Germany, and they are suffering under today's global and economic challenges just as much as big international conglomerates. Compared to the latter, however, SMEs normally require a more pragmatic approach, but it must still meet the highest standards of professionalism and sustainability.

Workforce transformation
Executing performance measures is often associated with the transformation of personnel structures and even workforce reductions. Roland Berger supports clients through this complex and highly relevant process, including supporting the interaction with works councils and labor unions in countries including complex co-determination.

G&A and overhead optimization
Optimizing overhead structures and G&A costs is a key part of any performance program. Firstly, these cost buckets often offer significant efficiency potential that can be realized without touching the actual production or service delivery process. Secondly, changes to the operating model generally lead to adjustments in this area. Thanks to the many successful overhead optimizations we have carried out – both as standalone projects and as part of full-potential performance programs –Roland Berger has extensive experience and a tried-and-tested catalogue of measures for optimizing overhead and G&A costs.
Global Business Services (GBS)/Shared Service Centers (SSC)
SSC and GBS models play an important role in the context of optimizing G&A expenses, as well as in optimizing other operational functions like sales or SCM – both in-house and, depending on the make-or-buy decision, as managed services (in the form of BPO – business process outsourcing – and BTO – business transformation outsourcing). Here, too, Roland Berger assists companies across all industries in implementing new SSC and GBS organizations and in transforming and optimizing existing ones. We provide end-to-end support throughout the entire process, from developing the strategy and selecting providers or locations to the actual implementation phase.

While consulting products usually address specific topics, this particular offering is aimed specifically at CFOs. It supports them in their development and perception of their enlarged role as a business-driven CFO with a greatly expanded influence and remit within the company.
CRO/CTO Services / Interim Management
In complex transformation processes, the temporary appointment of CxO positions by experienced performance and transformation experts is becoming increasingly important. Accordingly, experienced interim managers for CRO and CTO roles are part of our consulting services.
