Digitalisation strategy for 95,000 employees

The starting point

A large corporation with 95,000 employees faced the challenge of implementing a company-wide digitalisation strategy. Over 5 years, various internal teams — around 300 participants in total — had tried to achieve a breakthrough. Without success. The cause: isolated working groups with no cross-functional synergy.

The breakthrough

A single synergy team — with the right composition, a clear architecture and epigenetic competence development — achieved what 300 people working in isolation could not. The digitalisation strategy was developed and implemented for 65,000 directly affected employees.

The key insight

What works in a complex large corporation can be scaled all the more readily to SMEs. The synergy team method does not depend on company size — it scales with the complexity of the challenge.
