Case Study: Deutsche Telekom (Detecon International) achieves double-digit quarterly performance gains and 40% fewer meetings with WorkBoard

Workboard Active Strategy Management Solution

Detecon International, a 1,200‑person management consultancy in the Deutsche Telekom Group, needed faster, more accountable strategy execution across a global organization. Leaders wanted strategic priorities and success metrics to be clear and accessible, real‑time visibility into plans and risks, greater transparency and fewer meetings — with the goal of improving business results by double digits each quarter.

Using Workboard’s Active Strategy Management and Results Accelerator coaching, Detecon shifted to OKR‑based planning, cascading objectives and KPIs through Teams and Office 365 and embedding execution into daily workflows. In under three weeks they achieved organization‑wide alignment and transparency, updated KPIs via chat, surfaced risks in context, cut meeting time by 40%, and delivered double‑digit improvement in results from the first quarter.
