CSR Implementation and Interim Management

Designing a strategy for corporate responsibility is only the beginning. The real challenge lies in the integration of this strategy into the DNA of the organization. A successful strategy implementation depends on the enthusiasm and support within the organization. The business case must be clear, but employees also need to be able to be inspired and engaged by the strategy. That is why innovation, inspiration and creativity are focal points in our approach, in addition to a solid academic foundation.
