Overview of suitable methods
The Methods Explorer helps teams set up new measures in a structured and goal-oriented way from the outset. Organised into eight thematic categories, it offers a variety of proven approaches to identify optimisation potential and translate it directly into concrete initiatives. When selecting a method, users can draw on stored experience and examples from past projects — making it easier to assess the expected effort and impact of a measure while promoting knowledge transfer across the organisation.
The Methods Explorer covers a broad range of topics, from process optimisation and sustainability strategies to contract and price negotiations, as well as make-or-buy decisions. Each category includes different methodological approaches, often supplemented with best-practice examples. This enables teams to find tailored solutions to their specific challenges and realistically assess the success potential of a measure — even at the planning stage.
In addition, the Methods Explorer provides initial activity suggestions to support implementation. This accelerates the development of solution paths, enables more thorough evaluation, and ultimately improves the long-term quality and effectiveness of your measures.
