According to our newest study, every second continuing education program is currently geared towards conveying skills that will be needed in the future. Yet, 53 percent of participants criticize that their supervisors do not coordinate with the HR departments enough when designing the programs.

At the end of September, Staufen AG’s C-Day offered around 50 decision-makers from the industry a newly created information and communication platform. The Executive Conference in Bad Teinach, Germany, focused on one of the most pressing questions of our time: How will we produce in the future?  

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. 

More than 200 leaders had an intensive discussion in this year’s BestPractice Day 2023 about what the value creation networks of the future must look like in order to be more flexible, efficient, and resilient.

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.
