TESTIMONIALS
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.
Winning tenders with structured value-oriented engineering process
Partnering with Growing has significantly transformed our approach to competitive bidding by embedding a Design to Value mindset early in the process. Drawing on their broad cross-sector expertise, they challenged long-held assumptions, enabling us to break free from the “this is how we’ve always done it” mentality. As a result, we have achieved a breakthrough in optimization, delivering enhanced value to our customers by reallocating resources towards what truly drives their success while reducing spend on less critical areas. Thanks to Davide and his team, we’ve also increased our participation in tenders and improved our win rate substantially.
