cbs trainee program: the perfect way to start a career in consulting since 1999! 🚀 25 Years ago, Marco Binz, Lars Morio, Kyra & Dirk Honert and Christoph Schmid, among others, launched their careers as the very first cbs trainees. Today, they are not only successful consultants but were also recently celebrating their anniversary together at cbs! With them a story of success started. 🎉 “Our trainee program brings together people who want to make a difference and gives them a common platform for development. It's the perfect way for young talents to start their careers. After graduating, they quickly take on responsibility and get directly involved in projects," emphasizes CEO Rainer Wittwen. More than 450 consultants have laid the foundation for their careers with our trainee program. The large majority is still with cbs today. Many former trainees are part of the leadership team, shaping the future of our company and driving international expansion. 🌍 Like Henning Krug, Consulting Director and Member of the Executive Board and a 2007 trainee. What makes the cbs trainee program special for him? “I experienced our culture – what we now call the 'Power of Orange' – from the very beginning, without anyone having to explain it to me explicitly. Then there was the network that I was able to build – with colleagues from different areas and with my trainee group. The trainee program not only imparts professional knowledge, but also the values that are important in the day-to-day work of a consultant, and that is precisely what makes it so unique." The high quality of the trainee program has been certified by SAP Academy and cbs has received multiple honors. Furthermore, with the Global Young Professional Program (GYPP) for the #APAC region and the Young Professional Academy Program for the #USA, there are dedicated trainee programs to support expansion in those regions.

Would you like to know how you can move from reactive complacent product offerings to customer oriented flexible market adaption thanks to IBP? 📈 Massive market changes, such as those occurring in the automotive industry, require manufacturers and suppliers to take strategic measures to secure their economic prospects. Sales activities are intensified in order to use existing knowledge to open up new portfolios and markets, while existing customer obligations must be reliably fulfilled. Uncertainties increase cost pressure in the supply chain, prevent investments in new capacities and limit flexibility for portfolio expansions. Traditional planning approaches for series production are limited to individual plants, resulting in missing transparency and a lack of overarching planning for the entire supply chain network. Manual data aggregation proves to be too inaccurate, slow, and inflexible to ensure effective planning, leaving capacities for diversified products and new variants unused.🔄 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Integrated Business Planning (IBP), with appropriate processes, governance, and technologies, enables transparency in your supply chain network through aligned portfolio & network planning, as well as synchronized demand, inventory & supply planning in order to utilize MTS/MTO capacities optimally and flexibly. Integrated Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) and supply chain simulation capabilities support decision-making for your financially successful & customer-oriented growth in existing and new markets. Your success story with #IBP begins with the development of the supply chain planning target picture, followed by a pilot phase and rollout, supported by the necessary organizational development, and accompanied by the appropriate change management.🌐 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁: · 𝗖𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆: 20-25% better utilization of existing supply chain capacities 📊 · 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀 when entering the market: 25-30% improved growth rates with on point launch timing & product availability 📈 · 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 for strategic investments based on long-term reconciled planning data 📅 · 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆: optimal use of working capital across portfolios & supply chain echelons 📦 Would you like to find out how we can help you with IBP?

What an incredible experience at the Fiori Innovation Day in Heidelberg!! Our team—Tina Butz, Felix Aller, Till Höner, and myself—had the opportunity to represent cbs Corporate Business Solutions and present two exciting projects: "Hands-free image recognition with Fiori and AI": Bringing automation to the next level, enabling users to interact with SAP through voice and visual inputs. "We integrate every complex, human-readable document into SAP": Simplifying the process of extracting and processing data from even the most intricate documents. It was also fantastic to see Tina Butz representing our team in the expert talk on the future of UX, where she shared valuable insights about how we can continue to enhance user experiences with Fiori and beyond. 🎤✨ A massive thanks to our hosts from SAP App House for organizing such a stellar event—especially to Peter Spielvogel and Sebastian Werner for their support and hospitality!

𝗪𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗻𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀? 🏭 Companies and their production networks are under immense cost pressure, particularly due to ineffective utilization of production capacities. The main causes are a lack of tactical production program planning, inadequate cross-location capacity allocation and overly static planning. Knowledge of delivery programs and fluctuations in demand is not used holistically, which leads to fluctuating capacity utilization: While one plant is working overtime, others are underutilized. This causes extra costs for overtime, express deliveries, and external suppliers. 💸 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Implementing an end-to-end planning process enables optimal capacity utilization in the production network. Continuous data from sales, production and logistics is synchronized in order to make informed decisions about capacity allocation. Planning is regularly updated and compared with current demand signals, enabling the creation of an optimized production program. This allows shift models and site capacities to be planned efficiently. 📊 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁: • 𝗖𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: up to 15% savings on unnecessary overtime and shift allowances. 💰 • 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: The existing capacities in the production network are better utilized by up to 30%. 📈 • 𝗙𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲: The first savings can be realized with an MVP within 6 months. 🚀 Would you like to find out how we can help you save costs?

💡Rethinking your steering & performance management model for today’s and tomorrow’s business. The steering & performance management model is a core component of corporate #management and the basis for a successful digital #finance transformation. Given the changing market conditions and increasing competition, it can no longer serve as a "simple" feedback-loop between the predefined and achieved strategic targets. Instead, the #steering & performance management model should provide means for identifying a company’s internal and external dynamics, help assess risks and opportunities, and support strategic decision-making. To achieve this, it must be broad enough to provide a comprehensive 360-degree-view of the #business performance, whilst also offering sufficient level of detail to evaluate the specific areas for improvement and to derive appropriate actions. In practical terms, such requirements represent the core of the complexity-flexibility dilemma: Companies that aim to analyze all aspects of business at a high level of granularity risk losing the overview and limiting adaptability. Read the article by Dr. Olena Mavropulo and Jürgen Lange to learn how a tailor-made steering & #performance management concept solves this conundrum and helps to create valuable #transparency, whilst also driving sustainable growth.
