Core Service
Strategy Definition & Operational Consulting
CBI is founded by operational hands-on managers who are focusing on creating value.
In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, defining a clear strategy is only the first step; ensuring that strategy drives daily operations is the real challenge. Many organisations struggle to embed strategy into their team’s daily actions, especially when operating across borders where cultural nuances can dilute focus and alignment.
At CBI, we ensure your strategy doesn’t remain a vision but becomes the core of your organization’s behavior. Our hands-on consulting approach deeply engages your team, making your strategy not just something you do but something you are.
Our Philosophy
Deeply rooted in Operational Cross-Border-Implementation.
At CBI Partners, our approach to strategy definition and implementation is built on extensive operational experience and a commitment to hands-on execution. We don’t just deliver theoretical frameworks; we work side by side with your team to ensure that strategy becomes an integral part of your organization’s daily activities.

Real-World Success Stories
Karmann Japan Turnaround
CBI’s First Major Project: A Case of Resilience and Strategic Leadership
CBI’s journey began with an ambitious greenfield project – building a production plant in Japan from scratch. We grew the company from the ground up to around 250 employees while providing a full external board to manage local operations.
Just as production started, the German headquarters of the parent company declared insolvency. In this critical moment, Japan stood as the only globally profitable entity. Working closely with the insolvency administrators, we took control, ensured business continuity, restructured operations, and eventually sold the company to one of its largest competitors.
This high-stakes challenge demanded exceptional resilience, innovative thinking, and an unwavering commitment to securing the business’s future. The restructuring was successfully completed in 2010 when we sold the business to MAGNA CTS, and CBI remained actively involved in the new venture until 2013.
➙ This landmark project laid the foundation for our expertise in crisis management, restructuring, and cross-border leadership.
