NORMA Group is an international market leader in advanced joining technology for clamps, connectors and fluid handling.
The initial situation
Until then, the Group had been organized on a decentralized basis and managed on a regional basis. In the course of digitization, the focus was on the question of what potential was available in the area of finance in order to be able to communicate a clear vision and roadmap internally in the regions and to the Executive Board.
The goal was the fundamental elaboration of the "value proposition" of the finance sector and, based on this, the core fields of action for the next 5 years.
Execution of a series of workshops "Digital Agenda 2025" with the following steps:
Vision | External requirements of stakeholders | Internal requirements of Finance | Fields of action and measures. Subsequent coordination of all results with Finance, IT, Sales Controlling, Procurement and Logistics. Clustering of measures into project packages and creation of a roadmap.
Creation of a decision template with prioritization of the project clusters, list of the necessary internal capacities and the respective project dependencies
The benefits for the customer
The transparent presentation of the options made it clear to everyone which basic tasks had to be fulfilled primarily before end-to-end digitization could be talked about. On the one hand, this took the pressure out of internal discussions about digitization, while at the same time providing a clear vision and a concrete process model in this direction.

For Stephan Grunwald, consulting is an entrepreneurial activity with many variations; in various industries, for companies of different sizes, in different management structures. Yet always with the same sense of entrepreneurship. The prerequisite for all this is a sound and broadly diversified foundation in business administration. For him, however, the consistent realization of a concept is the ultimate entrepreneurial aspect of consulting differentiating 4C GROUP from its competition.
His focus lies in the CFO Office covering all aspects of decision making and controlling, reporting & planning, cost management, new role of finance (Industry 4.0), HR digitization and innovation management.
He has extensive experience in various industries and consulting of owner-managed and family led companies.
"The best concepts, new methods and optimized processes are only sustainable if they are borne and put into practice by the employees and the organization." That is Peter Keefer's true conviction. He transports with this attitude our idea that "true excellence means keeping the grip". A solution not only depends on theory, but more than that on a deep understanding of our clients' organization and the ability to adapt.
His focus lies within the CFO Office and especially in digitalization (within CFO Office), new role of finance (operating model), controlling & reporting, planning as well as in group accounting and consolidation,.
He has extensive experience in numerous industries, among others Manufacturing, Healthcare, Industrial Services.
