The solution

We supported the two public utility companies e-regio and ene in their merger process. The goal was to develop a growth strategy for the joint future and to ensure a smooth operational transition for the start of the new organization (‘Day-1-Readiness’).

 

Along a workshop-based approach, strategic goals of the new company were defined together with the executives of both utilities and corresponding strategic initiatives were developed to realize these goals. These were then evaluated in detail, qualitatively and quantitatively, in close cooperation with the responsible persons and operationalized along defined implementation plans.

In parallel, all operational tasks in preparation for the merger were structured and prioritized in an overall program. In weekly sprint meetings, more than 50% of the workforce was involved in the implementation of the more than 350 milestones. With the help of a project management tool, the implementation was efficiently controlled and a high buy-in for the merger was anchored in the entire workforce.

 

e-regio and ene have successfully completed the merger, thus joining forces in the region for sustainable growth.

Together with their team we have developed our future growth strategy as a joint company and have prepared our merger operationally. By continuously involving all company divisions, we have managed, together with the consultants, to implement the integration activities jointly with employees of both companies in a positive atmosphere.

StresstestLiquiditätsentwicklung:Resilienz durchvorausschauende Steuerung
Unternehmen sind heute verstärkt unvorhergesehenen Risiken ausgesetzt – von physischen Lieferengpässen über Cyberangriffe bis hin zu geopolitischen Handelskonflikten. Diese Volatilität hat unmittelbare Auswirkungen auf die Supply Chain und kann die Finanzlage massiv beeinträchtigen. Unsere aktuelle Simulation belegt jedoch, dass Vorbereitung den entscheidenden Unterschied macht: Durch ein vorausschauendes Steuerungsmodell und erhöhte Transparenz lässt sich die Cash-Position in Krisenszenarien um bis zu über 100 % verbessern. Um ihre Wettbewerbsfähigkeit und Liquidität langfristig zu sichern, müssen Unternehmen präventive Maßnahmen ergreifen, die von strategischer Planung bis hin zu operativen Eingriffen wie dem Inbound-Freeze reichen.

Kapitaleffizienz in der Metall- & Rohstoff-industrie
In der Metall- und Rohstoffindustrie haben steigende Energie- und Materialkosten, intensiver internationaler Wettbewerbsdruck und volatile Absatzmärkte die Margen seit 2020 deutlich unter Druck gesetzt. Die Kapital­effizienz ist in diesem Zeitraum um mehr als 30 % gesunken, da es vielen Unternehmen nicht gelungen ist, sinkende Profitabilität durch gezieltes Cashflow- und Working-Capital-Management zu kompensieren. Um ihre Kapital­effizienz zu stabilisieren, müssen Unternehmen verstärkt an beiden Stellhebeln ansetzen – Profitabilität und Kapitalbindung – und diese in einem integrierten Projektansatz gemeinsam optimieren.
