Whether it is the critical supply of raw materials and intermediate products or the global distribution of finished products, international competition places high demands on industry. To be among the winners, companies need a supply chain network that is robust, resilient, and agile, with a focus on the customer. According to the recent Future Industry 2023 study, 70 percent of companies currently see great potential for making their supply chain network more efficient. In addition, many organizations are inadequately prepared for potential threats to their operations. Today, only slightly more than half of companies have a professional risk management system in place for the early identification of threats. For the study, management consultants Staufen surveyed more than 400 industrial companies in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. 

For the current study “The Future of Training and Development”, more than 1,000 employees across Germany were surveyed. 46 percent of employees would like to see a significantly higher commitment level by their direct supervisor in their professional education.

Once again, the US business magazine Forbes named Staufen one of the best consulting companies in its 2023 ranking; Staufen was also awarded this prestigious honor in 2022. Thanks to its specialized expertise and international orientation with locations around the world – including Atlanta, Mexico City, and Sao Paulo in the Americas – Staufen has earned an outstanding reputation as a top consultancy with broad market positioning. 

Businesses and athletes have a lot in common: both must constantly work on themselves to stay competitive. Taking a cue from the world of sports, the Staufen Academy has developed a development path that can be used to improve the performance of individual employees and managers, as well as the organization as a whole.

According to our latest “Future Industry 2023” study, 62 percent of industrial companies in the DACH region have set themselves the goal of becoming carbon neutral within the next ten years.

A dual-class digital society has established itself in industry: according to the current study “Future Industry 2023,” 49% of the companies surveyed are proceeding actively with digitalization. The rest are currently still stuck in individual projects or have yet to find true access to this topic. For the study, the consulting company Staufen surveyed more than 400 industrial companies from German-speaking Europe.

According to the latest study “Future Industry 2023”, most companies have not lost sight of their strategic compass despite all the frenzy of the crisis.

Never stop making your supply chains more resilient! That was the urgent appeal on March 22 at the Staufen AG Management Dialog.

Digital transformation is the future. Getting there remains a major challenge for many companies. There is a lack of experience and no standard solution. Why should all companies go it alone? Why not go hand in hand?
