In order to support the Company’s targets in the most effective way possible, and integrate them even more efficiently into everyday business, we have initiated and continue to develop a number of Group-wide programs. By defining success factors right at the start, we can facilitate the process of implementing and reviewing these measures and developing new ones.
The task of achieving our market objectives is effectively supported by our “Road to the Top” growth program, while income levels are underpinned by our “ProImprove” program, which aims to ensure continuous improvements in profitability. Our established “Innovation and Quality” program helps to maintain a high level of these essential factors. Furthermore, since we regard the culture of our organization (“People with Spirit”) as indispensable to our past and future success, we have put in place the requisite foundations that will help us maintain, carry forward and develop that culture.
During the year under review, Wincor Nixdorf launched a Group-wide program entitled “ProFuture,” in order to conduct a fundamental review of existing procedures and structures. The aim is not only to lead the Company through the present difficulties in the wider economy, but also to put it in a strong position for the future and encourage renewed growth. Rather than substituting our existing growth and efficiency programs, ProFuture is intended to act in a supporting role. The primary goal is to implement permanent structural and process-related changes as a means of boosting overall performance and efficiency.
