What is MORGEN?

MORGEN is a specialized management consultancy for business model development

Why is it necessary to develop business models?

Business models are indispensable as they define the way in which a company creates value and earns money. However, markets are dynamic and subject to constant change. This is where business model development comes into play. It is the process of continuously revising and adapting the business model to take advantage of new opportunities, optimize existing processes and adapt to change. Without the continuous development of the business model, there is a risk that companies will lose their competitiveness. Business model development is a crucial task for the long-term success of a company.

Peer groups for the new business model

MORGEN brings together managing directors in peer groups so that they can work together on their business model. The groups advise each other in ten workshops spread over six two-day sessions in order to develop a viable business model. This process, which we market under the name MORGEN Academy, accompanies the business model until it is ready for the market.

These workshops are structured by MORGEN and are structured by MORGEN moderated. They are based on impulse questions and case studies. The workshops are scheduled in such a way that the content developed can be incorporated into the company and the business model between the dates. The results and progress are then jointly evaluated in the next workshop.

Business model patterns form the basis for our consulting approach

New business models are rarely based on innovation or new technical achievements. New business models are even less likely to replace disruptive business models. Rather, most new business models are a combination of learned patterns. These recurring components of new business models are called "patterns" in a scientific context. A new business model therefore arises from the right combination of scientifically proven patterns with each other and with the company's existing knowledge, technologies and infrastructure.

The consulting model of MORGEN is based on scientific models and methods, including the St. Gallen model of strategy development. The core elements are the recurring patterns of successful business models, which can be transferred to your own business model and company using individual impulse questions and case studies.

Example: Sample with impulse questions

The transfer of scientific patterns in theory to a real application in one's own company and/or on the market is not easy. This is because market-specific requirements, such as legal issues, a company's own operational blindness and many other obstacles, make this difficult.

Accordingly, the patterns are not suitable as a starting point, but rather these patterns are the logical response to the right impulses. MORGEN provides these impulses and thus leads managing directors to the idea and supports them in developing a new, viable business model.

Unsere Geschäftsmodelle zielen auf Kundenbegeisterung und Wertsteigerung ab. Gemäß den MORGEN Kriterien – Nachhaltigkeit, Digitalisierung, Kundenzentrierung und Wertorientierung – balancieren wir diese Elemente, um langfristigen Erfolg sicherzustellen. Trotz gelegentlicher Zielkonflikte erarbeiten wir die optimale Kombination, die Ihr Unternehmen erfolgreich in die Zukunft führt.

Digitale Geschäftsmodelle ermöglichen eine einfache und kostengünstige Skalierung, beschleunigen den Markteintritt und erschließen globale Zielgruppen.
Wertbasierte Geschäftsmodelle steigern die Zahlungsbereitschaft und ermöglichen höhere Preise, was zu langfristigen Kundenbeziehungen durch den gezielten Mehrwert führt.
Kundenzentrierte Geschäftsmodelle erhöhen die Kundenzufriedenheit und fördern Wiederholungskäufe, indem sie Unternehmen dazu anregen, interne Prozesse zu überdenken und echte Kundenprobleme zu lösen.
Nachhaltige Geschäftsmodelle bieten Resilienz und sichern langfristigen Erfolg sowie Wettbewerbsfähigkeit in unserer dynamischen Wirtschaftsumgebung.

After the workshops, the MORGEN People

The managing directors usually stay in contact after the end of our program and reproduce the process they have learned. We provide them with our web-based communication and coworking tool "MORGEN Menschen" for this purpose. The Academy content is documented here, and it is possible to exchange ideas and ask questions, obtain feedback or, if desired, book a consultant.

Why MORGEN and not a classic management consultancy?

We do not calculate in consultant days but sell a concrete and measurable service, just like you. This means not only cost certainty through a fixed price, but also a real guarantee of added value. In extreme cases, for us this also means no results - no money.

This motivates us as consultants to work in a goal-oriented manner instead of extending projects or simply delaying them in order to be able to bill more consultant days. There is also no surprise on the invoice at the end of the quarter because your colleague made a brief phone call to a consultant at the "Manager" level.

All our products, whether software, consulting models or even classic projects, have an easily understandable and transparent pricing structure. There are no consultant days, no hidden costs and surcharges or other flexible pricing structures that are difficult to understand. Our products are fixed-price offers and guarantee a measurable result.

This motivates us as consultants to work in a goal-oriented manner instead of extending projects or simply dragging them out in order to be able to bill more consultant days. There will also be no surprises on the invoice at the end of the quarter because your colleague made a quick call to a consultant at the "Manager" level.

The most common job of consultants in companies is to prepare/set PowerPoint slides or to act as external project managers. It is questionable whether these actions help companies to make sustainable progress.

In the Academy, we develop real solutions based on impulse questions and open discussion. No one will chew you over with (PowerPoint) presentations as if you were at evening school. Our consulting projects also contain real content that will help you to reproduce the consulting process in future without external advice.

At the end of the consultation is the Power Point? Many traditional consulting projects end with a final presentation. From this point on, consultants are only available for extensions and follow-up projects. In most cases, however, this is where the real work begins.

Using the digitalization tool MORGEN People, we stay in contact and both we and the entrepreneur network continue to provide you with valuable input and support you during implementation. At the end of each project, there is a clear and feasible roadmap and schedule for all further steps. Our clear goal is to provide you with the fishing rod and not just a fish to sell later. If we are involved in a follow-up project, it is because you want our input and not because you absolutely need it.

In SMEs, the managing directors usually pull all the strings. We believe in the top-down management approach, especially in owner-managed SMEs. And we don't want to change that. We do not place consultants in your company as expensive project staff, nor do we want to involve all employees. You steer, you lead and we help you with the right impulses.

Many consultancies work according to rigid processes that they apply equally to all their clients. Even if the consultancy and client do not match in terms of size, solutions are still proposed that are not tailored to the company. What works for corporations usually does not work for SMEs. In addition, the culture and management of an owner-managed company are very different from those of a global corporation. We target SMEs in the umbrella space with suitable consulting models.

As consultants, we primarily advise you as an entrepreneur and not your company. We don't want to take anything away from you, everything remains in your hands. We provide you with impulses, sparring and focus time for productive work on your business model. We do not go through your company and restructure your specialist departments or otherwise create a stir and unrest. Unless you want us to. Nor do we replace you and your job. It is your job as an entrepreneur: to secure the future and you will do so. You bring your personally developed business models, ideas and/or solutions into your company and thus create the necessary acceptance for their implementation among your employees.

The workshops take place at a location outside your company and away from your day-to-day business. We offer you a hideaway to devote the necessary time and attention to the topic of your business model and are convinced that the change of scenery and the resulting focus alone helps to produce results. Combined with the input from consultants and other managing directors, even outside of the sessions, really great things can emerge. New business models that will carry your company for years or even decades to come.

Many consulting projects are completed successfully, but problems arise during the implementation of the solution that cause the project to fail. It is therefore important to develop a suitable solution that suits your company, customers and employees.

Thanks to our close connection to the medienreaktor group of companies, we can draw on a wealth of experience from 19 years of providing strategic support to SMEs. Our common goal is to sustainably optimize established business models and thus shape a successful future.
