previously. This focus gives us an extraordinary depth of expertise and, in conjunction with BCG, we are leading the way with regard to the future of business and society.<\/span><\/p>\n
Sushank:<\/strong><\/span> Being part of BCG is genuinely a unique competitive advantage that allows us to offer our clients truly holistic value propositions and keeps us a step ahead of other procurement consulting firms. The joint client value that combined BCG-Inverto teams create is typically unmatchable by our competition. Another special aspect is the fact that KGM Strategy heavily prioritizes the wellbeing of its staff and teams \u2013 going an extra mile!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/i>Read more<\/button><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

<\/h3>\n And where are we heading? As Managing Directors, what are your priorities for the coming years?<\/span><\/h4>\nSushank:<\/strong><\/span> Diversity is very close to my heart. We are currently working to make consulting more attractive for women and working parents. I want KGM Strategy to be the best employer for every consultant \u2013 whatever their nationality, gender, and personal circumstances, we want to offer strong career growth prospects in an enjoyable environment that offers extensive learning opportunities. Leveraging our continued UK growth, we aim to be the partner of choice for FTSE 50 companies and leading PE firms. <\/span><\/p>\n
J\u00fcrgen:<\/strong><\/span> We also want to keep driving growth in Germany, and to support KGM Strategy\u2019s internationalization from here. We\u2019ve just moved to a new and larger office in Munich, so we can create a working environment for our teams that is as attractive as possible. If we are to offer good opportunities for highly talented employees, I believe our priorities need to include continuing to position ourselves as thought leaders and developing solutions for the significant challenges the world is currently facing. Sustainability is an issue that is particularly close to my heart; we want to come up with innovative ideas to help our customers achieve their sustainability goals.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/i>Read more<\/button><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Sustainability is definitely a key issue for customers right now. What are the other main challenges that you are currently working on?<\/span><\/h4>\nJ\u00fcrgen<\/strong><\/span>: We are living in difficult times and our clients are facing a multitude of challenges. Inflation, rising energy prices, and material shortages \u2013 semiconductors, for example \u2013 are definitely\u00a0 the most urgent issues, while helping to develop supply chains that are both resilient and competitive is currently a priority for most projects.<\/p>\nSushank<\/strong><\/span>: The situation is the same in the UK \u2013 ensuring supply reliability and fighting inflation are at the top of the list of priorities. As well as global crises, we are also dealing with Brexit,\u00a0 which is creating additional capacity constraints and resource bottlenecks. Leading UK businesses are driving closer supplier relationships and innovation to mitigate some of the current business challenges.<\/p><\/div>After all of that, what do you do to unwind?<\/span><\/h4>\nSushank<\/strong><\/span>: Outside work, I try to catch up on sleep as much as possible and spend a time with my wife and our two children, go for walks in the park or for bike rides. I also use my weekends\u00a0 specifically to go for long runs and spend time reading.<\/p>\nJ\u00fcrgen<\/strong><\/span>: Yes, being able to relax is always important, and the best way for me to do that is being with my family and friends. I enjoy going to concerts and sport is another important way for me to really clear my mind.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div> <\/p>\n

\n If we were to visit where you work, what things should definitely be on our bucket list?\n <\/h3>\n\n \n
J\u00fcrgen<\/strong><\/span>: You can\u2019t visit Munich without going to the Viktualienmarkt food market. Apart from that, Munich is synonymous with socializing, our unique wheat beer, and traditional Bavarian\u00a0 food. One of my favorite taverns is the \u201cServus Heidi\u201d.<\/p>\nSushank<\/strong><\/span>: I recommend a stroll along the River Thames when it\u2019s quiet, on an early Sunday morning. In the evenings, London has some great bars and restaurants with wonderful views, like\u00a0 the roof terrace at the Shard. The area around London is also always worth a visit; villages like Bourtonon-the-Water have a unique charm that is hard to resist.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\nDownload the magazine to continue reading the cover story & expert interviews:<\/strong><\/span> \nFill out the contact form to receive the magazine issue.
