IT, Business, People:
Connecting the dots makes the difference.
Klaus Kröll feels just as at home in the IT world as he does in Corporate Management, Sales, Finance, HR and other areas of the company. In addition, he has acquired special expertise in the following areas over the years.
Digitalization
In the past, digitalization was primarily aimed at increasing efficiency by modernizing business processes, whereas today it is also about optimizing the customer experience through a wide range of transformative technologies such as platforms, AI, analytics or IoT. To be successful, however, digitalization must also be viewed as a form of organizational development that goes far beyond the use of new technologies and changes the company as a whole.
“Digitalization requires a holistic approach that encompasses people, processes and technology to better anticipate and meet customer needs in an increasingly digital world.”
Performance Improvement
Continuous performance improvement is an important lever for companies to achieve better results, adapt to changing conditions and thus remain competitive. Various aspects such as operational processes, employee skills, digitalization and the effectiveness of the entire organization play a key role.
“From individual teams to business units or global companies – I have driven initiatives in different areas. My approach: clear goals, effective planning, consistent implementation, ongoing stakeholder engagement and a commitment to continuous learning.“
Change and Transformation
The term “transformation” is now used almost inflationarily for any form of change. A profound transformation of the company fundamentally changes the business model, products and services, organization, processes and the necessary skills and technology systems. And requires a willingness to embark on a journey of constant learning with an as yet unknown destination.
“Many building blocks, such as vision, strategy, culture, technology, capabilities and leadership must work together for a fundamental transformation. And the willingness to let go of the past to some extend.”
Growth Strategies
Whether increasing market share and revenue, improving products and services, or mergers and acquisitions – to remain relevant, businesses must continuously seek new avenues for growth, innovation and market expansion. But growth does not happen accidentally, it requires a coherent strategy, tangible goals and continuous adaptation to industry trends.
“An effective growth strategy combines a clear vision, customer-centric approaches, and agile execution to capitalize on market opportunities and achieve long-term success.”
And what is it like to work with Klaus Kröll?
Those who have worked with him say:
Change is inevitable,

Are you ready for change and want to set the course for transformation? Initiating and successfully delivering sustainable change is not an easy task.
