A clear view on people and organizations
Corporate & Business Strategy / Operational support
Shareholders, managing directors and/or management teams of small, medium or large companies occasionally need a specialist who looks from the outside in.
GES can advise you on the development of a new business model, the next step with your company or find a solution for a long-lasting or acute problem.
After the strategy phase, we can support you with the implementation of a possible new structure and (if desired), temporarily, give you operational assistance
​
Level up
​
Where does your organization stand in the marketplace? What market position do you have and are you professional enough to take up a permanent and sustainable position on the current playing field? Or are you even ready for a higher division?
​
Sometimes it is necessary to take the next step, to make that quality improvement, to raise a level to be able and allowed to serve certain customers and/or to tap into new markets. GES can help you with a quick scan in which business processes are analyzed and concrete points for improvement are suggested. After an intake interview with one of our consultants, it will become clear where a quality improvement can be achieved quickly and easily within the organization. We distinguish: purchasing, production & sales.
In addition, we will define whether we go for an integrated approach or whether we opt for target groups. Think of: a board of directors, a management team, project teams, departments, etc.
​
Team performance & Development
​​
The fact that the success of organizations depends to a large extent on the performance of teams is obvious. The question, however, is how many organizations actually have insight into this and, if so, how they measure and assess performance.
​
It is usually easier to outsource these types of processes to professionals outside the organization, not least because of the indispensable objectivity and much-needed authority to expose matters.
GES helps organizations with a quick analysis. We check the presence of all important factors that positively contribute to the effectiveness of a team and make recommendations for improvement. This includes looking at knowledge, skills, talent, commitment, experience, conflict management and standards & values. If required, we can also guide recruitment & selection processes together with some of our specialized partners.
​
Change management
​
Our change management department is concerned with systematically changing teams and individuals within professional organizations.
​
We distinguish four aspects here: initiating a change process, implementing a change process, adapting to a changing organization and managing a change process.
​
Organizations that are sustainably successful often have the guts to change regularly. It takes some courage to turn existing structures, revenue models, teams, positions, etc. upside down and set a new course. It is important to know that change is a dynamic process and you probably have to go back to the drawing board a few times
​
​
Restructuring
​
If your organization finds itself in dire straits, it is important to act quickly and appropriately. This is certainly not just about cutting budgets, cutting back on staff or terminating loss-making projects.
A new company structure can ensure that your organization becomes viable again and that your liquidity position returns to normal in the short term. GES can help you achieve this. We do this with pragmatic and realistic plans, negotiations with stakeholders and we provide practical support in the restructuring process.
If requested, we can also guide outplacement processes together with some of our specialized partners.
​
​
Interim
​
Sometimes it can be of strategic importance to have an executive position temporarily filled by an interim professional in order to reorganize, build a new department or just to settle the dust.
​
GES-interim has an extensive network of interim managers. This allows GES to quickly provide its clients with the appropriate specialist with the required knowledge and experience.
We currently have interim managers in the areas of: Marketing, Sales, New business development, Operations, Project management, Restructuring, General management & Change management.​
