Peter Kuhle receives award for interim management project of the year 2018:

Customer satisfaction, growth and digitization are the impetus for change processes in service. In order to meet these requirements even better in the future, extensive change processes were initiated in Unitymedia’s technical service. This included repositioning the service partner landscape, introducing a new control platform (digitization) and aligning the organisation based on new processes and possibilities in digitization. Implementing a new control model made a new holistic management of all those involved in the process possible with the aim of achieving the best possible results for customers.

Christoph Stumpp, Vice President Technical Customer Service at Unitymedia, “In repositioning our technical field service, Mr Kuhle developed and implemented a comprehensive control model and aligned our organisation to future requirements. Our improvements in efficiency and effectiveness achieved in a short period of time, combined with increasing customer satisfaction, speak for themselves. Thanks to his leadership skills, he succeeded in helping our employees and partners transition to this groundbreaking change process. Congratulations to Peter Kuhle on receiving this award.”

Dr. Marei Strack, Chair of DDIM, congratulates the winner and notes, “I would like to congratulate Mr Kuhle for his work on this project. One of the biggest awards is certainly the one given by the client himself, namely when it comes to extending the project on the one hand whilst also expanding the scope of tasks on the other”.

For the first time this year, the Dachgesellschaft Deutsches Interim Management e. V. (DDIM) association is awarding this prize to four projects which demonstrate a particularly high level of customer benefit and which clearly demonstrate the strengths and associated opportunities for companies. These projects are thus representative of the positive development of interim management.

The award ceremony was held during the DDIM Congress on 10 November 2018 in Düsseldorf. In addition to Peter Kuhle, three other interim managers were honoured for their projects. The jury consisted of Dr. Marei Strack, Chair of DDIM, Harald Meyer, Member of the Board of DDIM, Sven Astheimer, business journalist for the FAZ newspaper and Stefan Burk, Member of the Board of IWBF.
