People & Organization

In times of change, businesses need comprehensive solutions, not restrictive silos. That’s why our approach is always holistic. In the “People” dimension, our expertise covers workforce and leadership as well as culture and change. Under the pillar of “Organization”, we focus on organizational performance and functional excellence.

Corporate center

The corporate center plays a critical role in shaping how an organization creates value, steers performance and supports long-term growth. Yet its design is rarely straightforward. Every company operates in a unique strategic environment marked by shifting market dynamics and evolving ownership structures. This means there is no universal model for an effective corporate center; the right structure must reflect each organization’s strategy and operational reality. Roland Berger helps you define and implement a corporate center that balances value creation with cost efficiency and at the same time enables faster, more focused decision-making. With a tailored approach, we help you build a headquarters that truly supports your ambitions.

Excellence in finance

Finance functions are changing fast as organizations face new pressures, rising expectations and the opportunities created by digitalization. Traditional structures can no longer keep pace, and finance must shift from a back-office role to a function that drives strategic value. By redesigning operating models, strengthening collaboration and using technology where it adds the most impact, the finance function can become more focused and effective. Roland Berger helps companies build future-proof finance functions that support better performance and long-term success.

Excellence in HR

HR not only shapes how organizations work – it defines how people experience the workplace. Many HR models struggle to keep pace with shifting expectations, rising talent pressure and the impact of digitalization. The solution? Experience-based HR offers a way forward by aligning processes and structures with what leaders and employees need most. Roland Berger helps companies design HR models along these lines that strengthen collaboration and efficiency and create the right conditions for lasting performance.

Organizational design & target operating models

An organization’s operating model shapes both how it creates value and how it steers its own performance. Many companies struggle with legacy structures that slow down their decision-making processes and limit their overall impact – particularly worrying in an environment of dynamically changing markets and growing stakeholder expectations. Because each business operates in its own strategic context, the design of the operating model must reflect real needs rather than inherited constraints. Roland Berger helps organizations build systems that support clarity and speed, strengthen capabilities and create the conditions for lasting success.
