Case Study: Deutsche Telekom achieves double-digit quarterly business improvements and faster strategy execution with WorkBoard

WorkBoard is helping Deutsche Telekom close the strategy-execution gap

Deutsche Telekom Detecon Group, a 1,200‑employee global management consulting firm, was struggling with a strategy‑execution gap: teams lacked alignment on priorities, accountability for outcomes, and the speed to deliver better results. Managing Consultant Philipp Schett sought a way to make strategic priorities and success metrics clear and accessible across the organization.

By adopting WorkBoard (integrated with Microsoft Teams), Detecon achieved real‑time visibility into objectives, KPIs, plan vs. actuals, and risks, enabling faster decisions and removal of roadblocks. The change eliminated status meetings and cut meeting time by 40%, increased transparency and alignment, and drove double‑digit point improvements in business results each quarter.
