Our team is made up of experts experienced in the areas of project and programme leadership, business process analysis and optimisation as well as digitalisation.
Successful project management can benefit hugely when the project leader works for the business and brings in external views and experiences without being dependent on those delivering the project or parts of the project!
Drawing on their many international projects, the WFP team have developed a methodology which they have frequently and successfully applied. It is always based on a careful definition of requirements and consultation with the company management. Expectations are constantly, proactively managed and changes are transparent. In this way the decision process can be optimally supported. We would be happy to meet with you to discuss our approach!
Changes to processes, job descriptions, positions and the operational environment can create fear and resistance. Managing this is an essential success criterion for every process management, project and programme. WFP always takes the operational environment into account and works with the client to plan the participation of employees and influencers to ensure the highest possible acceptance can be achieved.
Wherever allowed to do so by our customers, we would be happy to present details of our previous projects.

Digitalisation alone will not help a company to be successful. A careful analysis of strengths in the areas of personnel, business processes and systems forms the basis for a successful digitalisation project.
The use of systems can only be optimised once the competition-relevant strengths have been mapped out and the competition-critical processes are known.
Changes create fears and concerns that have to be managed from the very beginning of any digitalisation project, in order to ensure success.
WFP offers you goal-oriented support, taking account of your company’s structure, employees and competitive processes to ensure that your need for digitalisation is not impeded by a lack of acceptance from your workforce. At the same time our extensive experience outside your company gives us the advantage of being able to demonstrate alternative approaches. Success comes when planned changes are not fought by those affected, but promoted by those involved!
WFP and our partners custom design and develop systems, but we also use standard solutions wherever economically efficient. WFP develops tailor-made solutions however, where competitive advantage does not allow the use of standard systems.
Systems, people, processes
Digitalisation, systems and organisations only work as a single entity. Systems, people and processes must be harmoniously organised in order to produce efficient results.
WFP puts diligent process analysis, taking account of your corporate goals, before any organisation or systems design. Restrictions and compromises such as budgetary constraints can subsequently lead to changes to the optimised process but the customer must be aware of the restrictions in advance and find them acceptable.
Systems are not an end in themselves and without acceptance their implementation can easily be derailed.
Efficient process management allows for the involvement of stakeholders and employees as well as preparation for the acceptance of future digital solutions.

Drawing on our many years of experience, WFP has developed a project and programme management methodology which has been very successfully utilised in many large-scale projects. It is always based on the careful definition of requirements and alignment with the management. Expectations are thus proactively managed at all times and changes are transparent. This also allows the decision-making process to be optimally supported. We use workshops to train our customers in the methodology, these are customised so that the change management takes the respective company’s history and DNA into account.
Changes almost always lead to conflict. As soon as a complex socio-economic system is affected by change, resistance is generated which becomes more expensive and more difficult to deal with the later it is identified.
WFP can support you through ‘Early Watch’ sessions during your project planning and based on many complex change projects can analyse existing or potential pitfalls which could jeopardise your project.
The dismantling of fears and mediation between the various stakeholder groups can also be more reliably achieved by an impartial outsider than through discussions within the existing hierarchy.
We have successfully handled many large projects and are happy to put you in touch with our national and international customers, a selection of which are listed here:

With a clearer company presentation and focus on the core areas of digitalisation, WFP’s website also now features information for customers and partners. WFP is now even more able to capitalise on the connection between employees and processes with systems both to preserve the customer’s DNA and to utilise the potential of digitalisation efficiently and sustainably.

Managing partner
Peter studied business administration with a focus on industry and optimisation processes in Mannheim. On receiving his Master’s degree he was keen to start putting his knowledge straight into practice in an industrial environment.
The potential of digitalisation, which at that time was mostly in data centres and with proprietary systems, has been his passion ever since.
Thanks to technological advances in the digital environment he was able to regularly incorporate his vision early on into projects, hence digitalisation has been the focus for decades.
Peter sees change and transition as an opportunity and always focuses on the acceptance of the changes by those affected in his projects.
His skills as a mediator have also helped Peter, in his political career as mayor of his town, to implement future projects, develop infrastructure and establish businesses.
As a speaker and coach Peter has led countless events in the digitalisation sphere.
Managing partner
Ernst Ulrich, known as ‘Uli’ is a managing partner at WFP Weinz & Feser business integration partner.
Digitalisation has been a hobby horse of his since his student days at Mannheim University, albeit differently labeled back then, and in 1990 together with Peter he founded WFP, and provided consultancy to Unilever Europe, amongst others.
Uli best describes himself as a free thinker. In his view there should be absolutely no place in a company for stereotyped or classic hierarchy-based thinking.
Today the exciting and quickly changing interaction between processes, systems and people is still his passion.
Throughout many projects over the past decades in Germany and abroad he has always focused on change management and the goal-orientated interaction between organisation, process and system design.
Again and again it has been shown how damaging IT-driven changes can be and how important the early involvement of people in change projects is.
Digitalisation is much more that the use of new technology! Digitalisation affects processes, people and systems equally. It is not a project, it is a programme…for survival!
As a results-oriented management consultant with many years of experience in the management of business process analysis and optimisation projects, ERP and IT system integration (e.g. SAP) as well as omnichannel experience across the whole supply chain (production, wholesale, retail and e-commerce integration), Uli advice to his clients is primarily aligned to their needs and goals and not, as is often the case, to existing structures and systems.

We always work hand in hand with our customer, to bring processes and systems together in harmony and thus achieve the best for their organisation!
