BOTTOM UP STREAM

Pushed from a business unit point of view, mostly for elimination of certain organizational deficiencies.

Part of the incremental development stream.

TOP DOWN STREAM

Out from the company’s strategy. Pushed from the executive team.

Part of the strategic/transformational development stream.

Often project initiatives are contradictory.

And often resources are not enough tosatisfy all projects.

Projects come up top down and bottom up


• Step 1:

Differentiation of company wide strategic projects/programs and business unit specific initiatives

• Step 2:

Determination of resource allocation for individual business unit according to strategic priorities

• Step 3:

Within business unit specific projects business cases are to be created to identify projects with the best cost-benefit-relation

Case Study "ROTOR Gourmet"


„ROTOR GOURMET S.A.“ is set in the catering industry and runs more than 1’000 canteens in France. To ensure future profitability the group has to optimize its logistic.

The objectives of the corporate transformation program “Optimization of sourcing and distribution” (OSD) are:

(1) Empowerment of buying department to bundle the flow of goods and the information flow more efficiently and to optimize the number of suppliers as well. Result: 5% reduction of purchasing costs

(2) Relief of the canteens in purchasing and implementation of standardized menu plans

(3) Optimization of the whole supply logistic for the canteens

(4) Implementation of a new intranet supply system for the canteens

Organization of major projects/programs (Case “ROTOR GOURMET”)
