Digitalisation and AI are transforming not just individual products, but entire business models in the mechanical and plant engineering sector. Any company embarking on this transformation without a clear technology and product strategy will lose time, budget and market share. ITQ develops structured technology, product and transformation strategies – with a clear focus on technical feasibility and economic impact.
The key difference: ITQ does not develop strategies on a whiteboard, but with a view of the actual machine and all the stakeholders involved. As machine experts, we combine in-depth technical knowledge of mechanics, electronics and software with strategic methodology – to create strategies that can actually be implemented, rather than ending up in a drawer.

„A strategy that is not based on a technical understanding of the machine remains mere theory. When technology, the market and organisation are considered together, the result is a strategy that really works."
Many companies in the mechanical and plant engineering sector possess excellent engineering expertise, but lack a structured strategy for how this knowledge should be utilised in the long term in the face of digitalisation, AI and new competitors. Decisions are made on an operational rather than a strategic basis, and investments are made reactively rather than proactively – with the result that competitive advantages are gradually being lost.
We work with you to develop technology, product and transformation strategies based on a realistic assessment of the market, technology and your own capabilities. As a result, you will have clear priorities, robust roadmaps and an organisation that knows the direction in which it is heading.
