4C Consulting approach

• Assessment of the basic setup and defined services
• Detailed analysis of selected result types in terms of methodology, data quality, system support, and efficiency
• Supplementing the analysis with interviews with BP Finance, central functions, and business units
• Structuring all findings using the 7S model

Added Value

The structured analysis revealed discrepancies between the defined and actual Business Partner Finance role, as well as methodological weaknesses in the result types. The results were discussed and approved jointly with management and Business Partner Finance. This formed the basis for further developing the Business Partner model and effectively supporting the business units.

4C Consulting approach

• An MVP is implemented in close cooperation with the specialist departments during the analysis, design, and development phases.
• At the kick-off, goals, responsibilities, and milestones are defined jointly and recorded in a roadmap.
• Technologies such as XR are specifically tested and integrated with regard to their usefulness for real customer processes.
• XR applications support more efficient sorting, optimized loading, and a safer working environment.

Added Value

By quickly validating the innovation using an MVP, an assessment can then be carried out for further implementation. The development process enables the customer to build up important know-how in a future technology. Regardless of the specific product, the customer benefits from the expertise of the 4C Group and the opportunity to integrate innovative solutions into their own processes.
