Safran Vectronix

IT strategy with depth

diselva supported Safran Vectronix – a leading global provider of state-of-the-art optoelectronic equipment with Swiss quality – in reviewing and further developing its IT strategy, thereby enabling a holistic approach.

Impact

Strategic clarity created – blind spots became visible and new perspectives opened up

Future orientation strengthened – recommendations for action guide the further development beyond IT

Holistic alignment enabled – strategy anchored in organization, processes and communication

What did we do?

Safran Vectronix, part of the international Safran Group, is a leading supplier of high-precision optoelectronic devices. While the existing IT strategy was closely linked to the corporate strategy, it was primarily anchored at the management level. An internal survey of employees revealed potential for a broader understanding and acceptance of the strategic directions.

To better anchor the strategy throughout the company, diselva provided support with the following steps:

Analysis of the digital maturity using a detailed company-wide questionnaire
Survey of key topics such as digital collaboration, individual digital skills, and organisational mechanisms
Identification of strategic focus areas and gaps with a view to further develop the IT strategy
Derivation of specific recommendations for action in a structured, clear format
Development of a methodological proposal for the further developing the strategy beyond IT

Why diselva?

At Safran Vectronix, it was crucial not only to further develop the existing IT strategy technologically, but also to anchor it organizationally and culturally. This is exactly where diselva was able to make the difference with its combination of IT expertise and organizational understanding.

Strategic IT expertise combined with organizational understanding – technological, cultural and strategic aspects were considered holistically

Clear and flexible approach – adapted to the maturity level and environment of Safran Vectronix

Independent perspective – provided clarity and allowed for an unbiased reflection on the existing strategy

Methodological depth and pragmatic approach – sound analyses led to practical and implementable results

Key Takeaways

IT strategy must be broadly anchored – effectiveness only arises when it is understood and supported throughout the entire company

Value of analysis and feedback – structured surveys, employee feedback, and a neutral outside perspective reveal blind spots and confirm internal assumptions

Holistic perspective necessary – a sustainable IT strategy encompasses not only technology, but also processes, organization, and communication

Flexible approach as a success factor – methodological depth combined with pragmatic adaptation enables viable next steps
