Holistic performance optimization

Our full-potential program supports businesses looking for a sustainable improvement in their profitability across several value levers, often associated with the need for transformation throughout the entire company.

The Roland Berger full-potential program 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.

The Roland Berger performance improvement framework addresses all elements of a full-potential performance program. In addition to identifying and implementing measures, it includes aspects like PMO , stakeholder management and the incentivization of leadership and other key personnel. Tools like RBboost support the overall process, from the development of measures to execution and impact tracking.

With a focus on execution, the Roland Berger performance improvement methodology is based on experience gained from hundreds of performance projects in Europe and overseas and consists of three core phases:

Phase 1: Baseline and full-potential analysis

Our full-potential analysis identifies and quantifies the relevant value levers throughout the entire P&L. For each area, we derive ambitious top-down targets, always based on transparency and facts. Having the overall program structured into excellence modules allows flexible adaptation to any client's situation.

Phase 2: Bottom-up measure development

Efficiency measures are at the heart of a performance program. Our extensive project experience has given us a broad spectrum of best practices and optimization levers to draw from, which we then adapt to individual needs. We develop the measures bottom-up together with our client to ensure they will have an impact, can be executed and will be accepted within the company.

Phase 3: Execution and impact tracking

A performance program is only successful once measures have been systematically executed and the impact is permanently visible in the P&L. We ensure the detailed tracking of financial and operational KPIs to facilitate this, supported by RBboost, our digital execution and tracking tool, which is in action throughout the whole process, from the identification of measures to the realization of impact.
