Transformation support. Successful policies require solid structures and processes. Efficient public organisations – from the traditional authorities with administrative tasks, to public foundations with a cultural mission – play a crucial role in how successful we are in meeting the challenges of our time. At the same time, these very organisations are under mounting pressure to change: An increasingly dynamic, uncertain environment requires faster, more agile, more efficient action A progressively complex society means an increase in tasks Demographic change requires new concepts of knowledge management and personnel recruitment In many organisations, a fundamental digitalisation of internal and external processes is still ongoing Supporting organisations in this transformation is our mission at Prognos: ensuring that processes and organisations are ready for meeting tomorrows’ challenges. Clear goals for better structures and processes What distinguishes successful organisations? Clear goal orientation as well as the continuous improvement of their own structures and processes. This is of particular importance to the public sector, as the mission of public administrations is more complex than that of private companies. This is where our advice comes in: the only way to make development future-proof is to systematically deal with the trends and challenges of the future, reflect on objectives, and deal with the strengths and weaknesses of an organisation. As part of our consultation, clear priorities will be set, goals defined, and made feasible. Organisational consulting – implementing strategic goals The goal of good organisation is to support and implement this strategic orientation. Organisational consulting answers key questions: what tasks will have to be performed in the future? How can units and departments be optimally designed, and processes efficiently structured? What are the personnel requirements and what skills will be required in the future? And last, but not least: how can we react to changes flexibly and with agility? For us, organisations are more than just a set of fixed rules, structures, and budgets. The skills, expectations, and attitudes of employees must also be taken into consideration. This is the task of change management, enabling improvements to be sustainably anchored in the organisation.
