Corporate Strategy is a crucial component of the institute, combining years of business management, scientific, technological, and application-oriented expertise. It directly supports the institute's management in strategic alignment and focuses on sustainable development processes. The activities are divided into three main areas:
1. Strategy Process
- Concept development, implementation, and continuous improvement of the strategy process
- Preparation and support in analyzing objective internal metrics of business units and departments
- Support for the institute's director in strategy development
Contact person: Heiko Maier
2. Program Coordination
- Call-Screening (review of state and federal tenders and preparation and communication within the institute)
- Organization of internal coordination processes and preparation of decision templates for Fraunhofer internal funding programs
Contact person: Dr. Christian Irmscher
3. Handling of Operational Issues with Strategic Relevance
- Organization of application processes and project management of major cross-departmental projects with strategic relevance during the transition phase to operationalization
Contact person: Dr. Steffen Kurth
Through this structured approach, Corporate Strategy efficiently supports the institute in achieving its long-term goals and contributes to the strengthening of scientific and technical competence.
