Syste­ma­ti­cal­ly shaping your future

Our KERN experts for business model­ling work with funda­men­tal methods of business model and product develo­p­ment, which are based on the analy­sis of the compe­ti­ti­on and the data. The larger the analy­sed databa­se, the more valid the forecast. And that is exact­ly what the Use of AI ? it signi­fi­cant­ly facili­ta­tes the analy­sis of very large amounts of data and the subse­quent develo­p­ment process. The strategy recom­men­da­ti­ons develo­ped as a result of this process become signi­fi­cant­ly more robust and effec­ti­ve due to the broader data base. Thus, business model develo­p­ment, which is often driven by experi­ence and gut feeling, recei­ves a broad data-based foundation.

In additi­on, the KERN approach to corpo­ra­te develo­p­ment still offers three decisi­ve advantages:

Flexi­bi­li­ty: This exclu­si­ve process, previous­ly only used by large, global­ly active groups, has now also been adapt­ed to the requi­re­ments of small and medium-sized family businesses.

Appro­pria­te budget orien­ta­ti­on: The budget to further develop existing business models or to open up comple­te­ly new business areas in times of radical changes in the environ­ment is tailo­red to the needs of family businesses.

Practi­cal relevan­ce and multi­ple appli­ca­bi­li­ty: The result of this develo­p­ment process is not just presen­ta­ti­ons or dossiers that explain theore­ti­cal­ly what you could do better based on exten­si­ve data, figures and facts. Rather, you will recei­ve concre­te, reali­sable sugges­ti­ons and ideas on how to elimi­na­te weakne­s­ses in your business model and open up new business areas. This appli­es to business models in the consu­mer market as well as to the B2B sector.

Our promi­se: The further develo­p­ment of their business model is not an expen­si­ve and lengthy process. The risks are signi­fi­cant­ly lower than when awarding expen­si­ve strategy consul­ting manda­tes, becau­se our KERN business succes­si­on process, support­ed by artifi­ci­al intel­li­gence, is up to ten times faster and signi­fi­cant­ly more cost-effec­ti­ve than standard market approa­ches to business model optimisation.

Case study

A craft­sman manufac­tu­rer of venti­la­ti­on techno­lo­gy for agricul­tu­re and indus­try is challen­ged by current indus­try develo­p­ments. Saving energy and reducing CO² emissi­ons are just two key buzzwords for the future. Together with KERN, the compa­ny review­ed its current positio­ning and added key unique selling points to its business model as part of the subse­quent strategy process. With the start of imple­men­ta­ti­on, the compa­ny launched a publicly funded innova­ti­on process that made the product and service portfo­lio unique, impro­ved the quali­ty of inter­nal proces­ses and opened up new custo­mer groups and sales channels.

… We have achie­ved our goal and can defini­te­ly recom­mend working with KERN

The KERN team was recom­men­ded to me as part of our compa­ny sale and, in retro­s­pect, we are very glad to have recei­ved this tip. The negotia­ti­on process for the sale was complex, lengthy and someti­mes threa­ten­ed by emotio­nal misun­derstan­dings in the outco­me. However, thanks to the great experi­ence and skill of our KERN consul­tant, we achie­ved our goal and can defini­te­ly recom­mend working with KERN.

… we succee­ded in finding exact­ly the right compa­ny for our parti­cu­lar niche 

We had our growth strategy accom­pa­nied by the specia­lists from KERN. With a precise target analy­sis and detail­ed market research, we succee­ded in finding exact­ly the right compa­ny for our parti­cu­lar niche. The effort invol­ved in such a step should not be undere­sti­ma­ted. With KERN, we have found profes­sio­nal support. At the same time, the succes­si­on problem of the compa­ny to be taken over could be solved substan­ti­al­ly and in the long term.

Without the view from outside, we would proba­b­ly never have reached our goal so quick­ly and safely 

In the context of my compa­ny succes­si­on, the merger with a compe­ti­tor compa­ny was the ideal soluti­on. The KERN team, and especi­al­ly Mr. Koerber, accom­pa­nied us sensi­tively as a modera­tor and process facili­ta­tor and combi­ned the interests of both negotia­ting partners well. Without the view from outside and the negotia­ting experi­ence, we would proba­b­ly never have reached our goal so quick­ly and safely!
