New Challenges

Often, one is at the beginning of a new challenge. Organizations and products change, or changes emerge over time that contradict the assumptions made at the outset Adaptability is a key attribute for success.
With our Discovery Workshops, we support you in finding the right entry point to new challenges. Or use it to mark a milestone of ongoing projects, be it in the team of a specialist group or crossover in cross-sectional composition of the participants.

In our Discovery Workshops, we help you to focus your issues, gain cross-team understanding of the tasks at hand, or develop action plans.

We will gladly take over the moderation in order to ensure an optimal concentration on your concerns. Or we open the topic with a keynote speech and then get into the specialist topics together with you.

Common to all Discovery Workshops are clear goal definition, short manageable format, and backup of all results.

Waterfall vs. Agile / Scrum - den richtigen Softwareentwicklungsprozess wählen

For many years now, agile software development (e.g. with Scrum) has been the talk of the town and has also become a quasi-standard in large industrial companies. Yet it is often applied as a panacea for any type of software project. But is this development process really the best for any project?

Together with you, we analyze your concrete project plan (or even your current project) with regard to the best possible software development process. The focus is on topics and assessment fields such as “Ability to Change”, “Business values”, “Product risk & complexity” and “Visibility”. Their current corporate culture and organization is also considered and evaluated.

The result of the workshops is a software development process that is best suited to your project and your company. Depending on the scope of the workshops, a concrete step-by-step plan is drawn up on how to implement this process in your organization.

PLM in a nutshell

Do you often have discussions in your company about what PLM actually is? Your employees may even only think of master data management and change request management when they hear this term. A modern PLM for your digitization strategy must do more. But what is involved and what is the state of the art?

We show you the world of modern PLM IT and process methods and reflect this with your employees to the needs of your product strategy.

You and your employees will gain a common understanding of best practice PLM processes and methods and how they work in the company.

Give us an insight into your product strategy and we will create a fingerprint with you to determine whether your current PLM processes and IT are ready for your products of tomorrow. From this, we derive the most important PLM fields of action for you so that you are prepared for your digitization.

In contrast to our workshop “PLM Pain Point Analysis”, this workshop focuses on your future-oriented product strategy.

PLM Pain Point-Analyse

A PLM landscape aligned with product needs is often neglected. This already leads to immense friction losses today, without companies being aware of the need for action.

Content

So let us help you bring your untapped PLM potential to light. For this purpose, we conduct targeted interviews with your employees in which we identify the pain points of your current PLM landscape.

In contrast to our workshop “PLM Maturity Analysis”, this workshop focuses on the operational problem areas of your current PLM landscape.

Result

As a result, we compile a report that includes initial recommendations for action. You can use this internally to sharpen problem awareness and then move on to roadmapping specific PLM projects. BHC is also the perfect partner for you.

  • Target group: Business units along the PLM process chain, especially development and supply chain.
