Reflexion ORIOR Strategie 2020

Lessons Learned

ORIOR 2025 Strategy represents an evolution

  • The successful ORIOR 2020 Strategy serves as the basis and starting point for the new strategy period
  • Key elements of the 2020 strategy have been refined and perfected.
  • Strategy development and execution broadly supported:
    • Extended Executive Committee in the lead.
    • Formation of specialist teams for specific topics ->know-how, quality, commitment.
    • ORIOR Top50 are the ambassadors of the ORIOR Strategy 2025 -> involved in the development of sub-elements of the new strategy.

Anchoring and common understanding as a success factor

  • Strategy and strategy execution placed on a broader base; rolling action plans to integrate core elements more deeply into the daily business and into existing management tools.
    • Encouraging and demanding common understanding even more than before. Intensification through constant repetition, training/interaction and through involvement.
    • Reduction of strategy to simple and understandable terms/graphics/messages that can be cascaded across all levels of the Group.
    • Consistency of wording, thereby strengthening internal identification with the strategy and external understanding of the strategy.
