Corporate Strategy

Cross-Functional Topics

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.
