Strategy needs
structure and rhythm.
Our approach combines analysis, strategy, execution and controlling in a clearly structured phase model with defined gates, ensuring every step remains traceable and manageable.
Four phases. Clear gates. Full transparency.
Diagnosis
Status quo, data collection, stakeholder mapping, goal definition and risk assessment.
Strategy
Options, scenarios, business case and decision template.
Execution
Project management, milestones, change management and ongoing reporting.
Operations & Controlling
KPI monitoring, optimisation cycles, quarterly reports and governance reviews.
No step without verification.
The AME Stop Gate System ensures that each phase is only released when defined quality criteria are met. Three gates, three checkpoints. No exceptions.
G1: Data Cube
Verify completeness and quality of the data foundation.
- Data sources identified
- Data quality validated
- Gap analysis documented
G2: Activation
Assess feasibility and resource availability.
- Action plan created
- Resources allocated
- Timeline fixed
G3: Governance
Ensure compliance, governance structure and escalation paths.
- RACI defined
- Escalation paths documented
- Audit trail active
Six phases along the lifecycle.
Every mandate follows six defined phases. The methodology ensures no step is skipped and each phase builds on the previous one.
Situation Analysis
Assessment, data collection and identification of core challenges.
Strategy Development
Evaluate options, model scenarios, create decision template.
Implementation Planning
Define milestones, responsibilities, resource requirements and timeline.
Execution Support
Project management, change management and continuous stakeholder alignment.
Results Measurement
KPI tracking, target-actual comparison and impact evidence.
Sustainable Operations
Handover to line organisation, governance setup and optimisation cycles.
In 8 out of 10 portfolios, a structured process for phases IV-VI is missing.
AME Mandate Analysis, 2024-2025
Structured from first meeting to results.
Every advisory mandate follows a four-stage pipeline that ensures quality and traceability.
Research & Analysis
Market data, benchmarks and stakeholder interviews as decision basis.
Draft & Concept
Strategy draft, action planning and initial alignment with the client.
Quality Assurance
Peer review, plausibility check and alignment with best practices.
Execution & Results
Approval, implementation and documented impact evidence.
Three concrete results per phase.
Phase I-II: Clarity
- Strategic audit with recommendations
- Scenario model with quantified options
- Decision template for management/board
Phase III-IV: Impact
- Detailed implementation roadmap
- Change management playbook
- Weekly progress dashboard
Phase V-VI: Sustainability
- KPI-based impact evidence
- Governance framework for operations
- Handover documentation to line organisation
