Initial Status Quo

Many projects, little robust implementation

In many companies, large investments – new plants, ERP systems, AI solutions – are approved with optimistic assumptions and afterwards rarely systematically recalculated. Grants aren't exhausted, risks are only roughly described, and a real post-mortem barely happens. Our goal is always to push through investments so ROIs are realistically planned, cleanly achieved and annually reviewed.

Lessons learned

What we learned from this

ROI doesn't mean "we hope" but "we deliver results".

No ROI without sensitivity

Test assumptions clearly

Those who only calculate one business case path invite wishful thinking. Sensitivity shows early what must be watched.

Grants are part of ROI

Actively use EU and other subsidies

Properly integrated subsidies improve returns and make projects viable that would otherwise have longer ROI.

AI projects are just projects

No "other people's money"

AI too must have clear benefit hypotheses, KPIs and post-mortems – otherwise it remains expensive experiment at others' expense.

Establish annual post-mortems

Learn in numbers

Only those who systematically recalculate permanently improve quality and reliability of their investment decisions.
