Within Audi Consulting we work as observers and analysts. We employ strategies, analyses, surveys, and the Stimmungsbarometer, a tool for tracking opinion, to gather empirical, structure-based data – the basis for identifying and tackling opportunities and weaknesses. We look beyond the superficial to find out where we need to focus our efforts. That applies to both the strategic and organizational level.

As for our methods, they are proactive and experimental all the way through to implementation. As part of that, it is important for us to look beyond our own horizons. Transformation Strategy, Analytics, and Employee Survey: We make use of external expertise and embark on “learning journeys“. This enables us to act as the starting point for deliberate change within AUDI AG.

As strategy consultants, we do not just look into the future – we help create it. We derive the requirements for the Audi organization from the corporate strategy. Where do we need to sharpen our positioning, our working methods or our competences? Where do we need to focus our transformation as a company?

As part of the integral Audi transformation, we are working as strategy consultants on the core and future issues of the company and are playing a decisive role in shaping these issues from an early stage. Our job is to continuously develop new perspectives and solutions and to coordinate and continue developing them with our partners across all areas.

We are working here as “trusted advisors” in partnership with the decision-makers in the specialist areas. We think in terms of breadth and depth – and we think laterally. We start with the analysis and concept development and support the transformation projects until the results are integrated sustainably into the organization.

Any strategy is only as good as its implementation. At a company such as Audi, there are many interlinked processes and mechanisms allowing the whole organization to work properly. As process consultants, we examine exactly what the customer expects and consider how we can drive process optimization. We work hand in hand with our partners in the specialist areas. We enable them to deal with their issues by using the right methods and tools for visualizing, optimizing, and managing processes.

Our goal is to implement new processes systematically. To do so, we operate within a company-wide network and develop the process management system for Audi with our partners.

As structural consultants, we concentrate on the essentials. We are professionals when it comes to consulting and to organizing structures, processes, and labor at the Audi corporate level. We analyze the network of roles and responsibilities and, when necessary, work with the divisions to redefine them.

We design structures to achieve results such as breaking down borders between departments by means of agile working methods. Thereby, new cooperation models can be created making Audi faster and more efficient. By means of controlling for specific aspects of the organization, we help to improve Audi’s structure. We take a smart but sensitive approach to providing consulting to divisions and affiliated companies, helping them to make decisions and thereby guiding them through the transformation process.

Change is the only constant – and that applies to companies such as Audi, too. Choosing the right courses of action in the past has made it what it is today: a modern, international company producing state-of-the-art technology and design.

Nonetheless, it faces demanding global requirements. In a world that is ever more interconnected, certainty and security are out of the ordinary, along with clarity and linearity. We help our customers to tackle these challenges. Courage, flexibility and creativity are what is needed. We shape change, draw up engagement strategies, and supervise the process of change on the basis of systemic approaches and dialogue-based change communication. That gives us the ability to focus our energies on making Audi’s visions for the future a reality.
