Dr. Boysen Management + Consulting:
Management consultant and interim manager

My consulting and management services for companies

The challenge

Many existentially critical problems are not based on single causes; rather, they are phenomena of multiple, often interrelated causes. We are dealing with dynamic and complex challenges that require holistic and systematic approaches, well-coordinated measures and a mindful, agile approach.

In mechanical engineering and plant construction, in the automotive supply industry, in metal or plastics processing and with industry-related service providers, such dynamic complexity is usually present.

Effective solution approach

I help my clients to find and implement sustainably effective solutions to their challenges by orienting the way I work to the principles of holistic and systemic management.

Management consultancy and interim management are often strictly separated. I combine both: methodically sound analysis and conception and implementation with responsibility within a time-agreed framework. In increasingly dynamic environments, conception and implementation have to be thought of and carried out together.

My clients benefit from my fresh, unbiased view of their company against the background of several decades of project experience in profit improvement, stabilisation, restructuring and acute crisis management.

The path to operational excellence

The greatest potential for operational improvement often lies outside the operational functions where problems become apparent. For example, the causes of production backlogs, quality problems or excessive working capital often lie in inappropriate interaction with other functions. A focus on process quality, the quality of exchange at interfaces, feedback and dynamic effects has proven successful in many mandates.

A clear strategic line as a prerequisite

However, the highest operational efficiency and effectiveness will fizzle out if the company’s activities are not guided by a strategic line that is in line with the market and incorporates the dynamics of demand and competition as well as the company’s own capabilities. Just as important for economic success as a coherent strategic concept is strategic clarity and determination in operational implementation, which must be consistently reflected in innovation management, product management and product development. The starting point for all ideas, projects and investments must be the market.

Sales orientation as the key to success

An agile, sales-oriented organisation in which all activities emanate from and are led by mindful sales can be highly efficient. Sales-oriented organisations are best integrated into their economic environment and thus resilient.
