Case Studies - diverse applications in various industries
SMEs with Growth
An established industrial SME (€35 m rev.) stagnated despite profitability – high customer dependency, a complex portfolio, and a lack of strategic focus.
Through a structured strategy reset and a 90-day implementation sprint, the company was strategically realigned.
Results after 12 months: EBIT nearly doubled, dependencies reduced, and 18% growth in new market segments.
From Startup to Company
A technology-driven, high-tech startup had a strong product—but was organizationally fragile and heavily reliant on two customers.
A structured 120-day plan clearly defined financial management, governance, and roles—without sacrificing momentum.
Result: reduced customer dependency, transparent cash flow planning, and a successful next funding round.
Investor Assessment I
A private equity investor wanted more than just solid financial figures – he wanted to know if a €100 million automotive supplier was truly structurally scalable.
The Prepared-for-Scale assessment uncovered operational risks in financial management, project management, HR, and supplier dependency – before the deal was even signed.
The result: a clear 180-day plan, measurable improvements, and a transaction that was not only financially sound but also structurally secure.

SME in Transformation
An established automotive SME was facing a major transformation: declining transmission projects and increasing pressure for e-mobility – financially stable, but strategically outdated.
With a structured transformation roadmap, the company's expertise, portfolio, and organization were specifically aligned with electrified drive systems.
The result after three years: 28% of revenue from e-mobility, new development projects, and a future-proof market position.
Growth SaaS Startup
A Series A B2B SaaS startup experienced rapid growth (+70% year-over-year) – but delivery, governance, and role structure couldn't keep pace.
With a 120-day structural redesign, governance, prioritization, and capacity management were restructured – without slowing the company's momentum.
The result: significantly improved on-time delivery, stabilized margins, and a scalable organization for the next growth phase.
Investor Assessment II
A private equity-backed IT services SME was profitable – but strategically unfocused: a broad service portfolio, stagnant growth, and declining margins.
In a joint assessment, focus services were defined, low-margin services were reduced, and a clear customer and service architecture was established.
Result after 12 months: double-digit growth, a significant increase in EBIT, and a clearly manageable growth architecture.
