Case Study
OQEMA is one of the leading chemical distribution companies for commodities and specialities in Germany.
Project Scope
- OQEMA is growing rapidly and expanding into multiple new countries across Europe.
- The individual operations in each country are run by so-called “hubs”. OQEMA’s intended strategy needs to be adopted by all individual hubs.
- Due to structural differences between the hubs this universal adoption is difficult.
- We were tasked with validating the intended strategy and creating actionable steps to aid hubs in the adoption of the intended strategy.
Our Approach
- First, we analyzed the intended strategy and looked at the status-quo of the implementation of the strategy by the individual hubs.
- In a second step, the team approached the individual hubs and adjusted the strategy to allow for widespread adoption.
- Finally, we synthesized their analysis to provide the management board with actionable steps enabling universal adoption.
Final Deliverable
- The final deliverable we presented OQEMA was a presentation visualizing the adjusted intended strategy developed over the course of the project.
- In addition to the business strategy, the presentation included further stakeholders like enablers which are crucial for a successful unified strategy.
