In October 2019, the conception started with a first kick-off workshop with the aim to consolidate and prioritize the needs and fields of action of the project managers.

At the beginning of January 2021, the management of all international locations was then informed about the further procedure and involved in the analysis of the criteria, determination of the local contact persons and the selection of the strategic projects.

After selecting and customizing the project management software, the trainings were adapted to the needs of the target group. The training sessions were then held virtually in the summer of 2021 with all responsible project managers (approx. 70 people) in Microsoft teams. There the participants loaded their own projects into the software and worked on them.

After the training sessions, the TOP projects and resources for 2022 were defined in the strategy meeting in September and recorded accordingly in the software. In addition, a standardized monthly reporting system was set up.
