Shared Growth Strategy for Machinery Business Network – Case Pilomac (1.1.2008 – 31.3.2009)

The project was a part of Pilomac – Integrated Business System (PIBS) project cluster where several parties produced new knowledge from different viewpoints with the goal to create a new Finnish success story. GVL concentrated on creating a shared network strategy for machinery business network by producing new tools for network strategy management, understanding the dynamics of growth oriented business network especially the processes of creating, implementing, and monitoring the shared network growth strategy.

In the beginning of the project case Pilomac was in a fast growth path with several major challenges due to e.g. organizational changes and fast growth and even faster growth expectations. GVL’s role varied from daily business participation to strategy planning level and this “hands-on” orientation made it possible to quickly redirect the project when global financial crisis hit machinery business and growth turned into a surviving struggle. Project was an excellent example of turbulent global business where roles and tasks vary in a very short notice.
