Aligning Ambition with Capability
Profitable growth is the #1 goal of almost all CEOs.
Every CEO drives toward one top target: Profitable Growth (Positive EVA, Growing MVA)
What does it take to enhance the realization of profitable growth?
It takes an effective Profitable Growth Strategy.
Beyond a simple budget, teams need a clear formula for value creation to guide their efforts .
When this target is challenging to reach, the focus must shift from „What went wrong?“ to „What capabilities do we need to provide to ensure success?“
The Architecture of Success
What does it take to have an effective profitable growth strategy?
Sustainable growth is rarely a matter of luck. It is the result of a specific chain of ingredients working in harmony:
- Strategy Process: A continuous engine of decision-making, not just a calendar ritual.
- Strategy Tools: Precision models to simulate scenarios, replacing outdated spreadsheets.
- Strategy Data: A structured intelligence hub grounding decisions in quantified reality.
- Strategy Skills: Certified capability to ensure sophisticated tools are used to their full potential.
What does it take to have all this available?
It takes a Corporate Strategy Office (CSO).

The Execution Imperative
People want guidance, not rhetoric;
they need to know what the plan of action is and how it will be implemented.
They want to be given responsibility to help solve the problem and the authority to act on it.
