The challenge
Companies must respond quickly to new competitors, innovative technologies, regulatory changes or the battle for the best talent, and reflect this in a targeted organisational strategy. There is growing pressure to act, based on a sustainable, performance-oriented approach, to drive forward the realignment of business and operating models and to adapt structures, processes, decision-making structures and culture.
Typical starting points for our customers seeking to improve performance include, for example:
- A changed corporate strategy to tap into new market opportunities and growth areas
- A significant need to reduce costs and increase financial stability to ensure long-term viability
- Organisational changes to business or organisational units
- Disruptions such as M&A activities or changes in corporate management or ownership structure

Organizational Review and Rightsizing:
A quick and efficient analysis of individual functions or the entire organisation creates transparency regarding current performance. We use benchmarking to evaluate the organisation in comparison to relevant industry standards. Functional performance analyses can be used to identify specific areas for optimisation in the structural and procedural organisation.
The aim is to identify cost-cutting measures and define a sustainable target operating model (TOM) for the interaction between headquarters, business units and shared services/global business services.
Value-based organisational design & transformation support:
We support companies in holistically increasing their competitiveness in terms of both growth and performance improvements. The focus is on redesigning organisational structures, control mechanisms and processes, as well as further developing the corporate culture – with the aim of significantly improving performance and the interaction of organisational structures. The result: a robust, agile and efficient organisational structure that increases productivity through the efficient use of existing resources and improves adaptability to changing market conditions.
We provide comprehensive support for organisational change – from strategy development to practical implementation in individual efficiency and cost programmes. The corporate culture serves as a lever to anchor change in the organisation in the long term and actively involve employees. We also support management teams in effectively shaping change within the organisation. All of this is supported by the KPMG network of experts on legal*, tax and regulatory issues.
Executive alignment and cultural change:
A coordinated management team is crucial for managing transformations effectively and efficiently – especially in crisis situations. We focus on a pragmatic coordination approach to resolve conflicts in leadership. Cultural changes are also often a crucial component of organisational development. Together with our colleagues from ‘People & Change’, we also drive change management and issues relating to the future of work as part of change processes.
