Implementing new Capex management practices

Working with the strong team from Growing was a game changer for our Capex management process at Nobian. From the mantra “on time – in budget” to maximizing the value of every invested Euro is a critical cultural transformation in times where Nobian has plans to invest in the coming years more than a billion Euro into “Grow Greener Together”. Davide and Nils provided us not only the needed skills, but also helped the team through the change curve, leaving everyone energized about the process and new possibilities.
