„The management board of SSP (Germany) – The Food Travel Experts participated gladly in a Strategy Making workshop of Mr Ramanalil and Mr Pluess at the Berlin Tegel airport. With the help of their Strategy Making method and their decision making software tool they enabled us to review, clarify and partly change the strategy of SSP (Germany). At the end of the workshop we were highly pleased with the successful outcome through teamwork practices“.

„I very much enjoyed working with Andreas on various assignments during our MBA studies. Andreas has a nice personality and working with him is very pleasant; not only that he is extremely responsive, but also he is proactive, reliable and showing a high work ethic. I very much appreciated his ability to communicate his ideas effectively and thus to achieve a buy-in within the group. Andreas is solution-oriented and he thoroughly and creatively evaluates various courses of action, in order to choose the best one. His strong interest, know-how and expertise especially in structured strategy making and general management make him a great partner to consult new approaches, to discuss original insights and to get qualified advice in these areas“.

„I worked with Andreas on a range of different assignments during our Executive MBA. I very much enjoyed working with Andreas. Through his approach I gained a good insight in his previous extensive experience especially from the sport environment.

He is in my opinion one of the best people managers that I have meet“.

„Die beiden durchgeführten Strategie Workshops halfen uns, die ganze Komplexität unserer Firma und deren Umfeld sichtbar zu machen. Neben der Strategieentwicklung hat uns Herr Plüss bei der Verbesserung des Supply Chain Managements, bei der Firmenpräsentation für einen internationalen Partner sowie beim (Online) Marketing unterstützt und Kontakte zur Identifizierung neuer Produktionsstandorte hergestellt. Während der mehrmonatigen Zusammenarbeit war Herr Plüss außerdem stets erreichbar und hilfsbereit“.

„Eine Firmenstrategie wird methodisch erarbeitet, dazu braucht es den erfahrenen Berater – mit Andreas Plüss von Strategy Plus+“.
M. Wieland, CEO SEMSEA Suchmachinenmarketing GmbH
Mr Ramanalil and Mr Pluess analyzed the whole Swiss Food Travel market and the existing portfolio of our client in detail. In a strategy workshop at Zurich Airport we developed and mapped out a new strategy. Consequently we suggested new strategic initiatives and advised how they can be put into practice.
„Verschiedene Bereiche unserer Firma sind durch das schnelle Wachstum komplexer geworden, wie etwa die Organisationsstruktur, die internen Kommunikationsprozesse sowie das Personalmanagement.
Zusammen mit Strategy Plus+ haben wir strategische Initiativen entwickelt und in einem separaten Implementierungs-Workshop konkrete Massnahmen bestimmt, welche nun im Rahmen eines Action Plans umgesetzt und laufend kontrolliert werden.
Die Zusammenarbeit mit Strategy Plus+ war effizient und motivierend und die Beratung kompetent. Wir sind überzeugt von unserer neuen Unternehmungsstrategie 2012 und sind bereits mitten in der Umsetzung!“
Mathias Böhm, CEO Suitart AG
„Andreas kenne ich schon seit Jahren als hochgeschätzten Gesprächs- u. Sparringpartner in fachlichen Angelegenheiten. Besonders schätze ich seine Art der Gesprächsführung in Strategieentwicklung und -Analyse, die ich als Teilnehmer oder Beobachter wahrnehmen konnte. Auf gekonnte Weise verbindet Andreas die verschiedenen strategischen Aspekte von Werten, Fähigkeiten und Alleinstellungsmerkmalen während er die Einzel- oder Teamgespräche moderiert“.
Andreas Fischbacher, Managing Director
„Andy was a pleasure to work for. His broad knowledge, structured and goal-oriented mindset, as well as his ability to network with people and motivate people, are only a few skills that I admired and still admire“.
