Management philosophy

dormakaba acts through customer-centric regions and sales organizations for its Access Solutions (AS) business, supported by global functions to secure efficiencies of scale and to capture business synergies in product development, product management, and operations. The corresponding management organization is based on decentralized responsibility where appropriate and therefore rapid decision-making structures situated close to local markets, combined with globally supported operational excellence and organizational efficiency. This helps to keep activities focused on the customer. Further global corporate functions such as Strategy, Finance, Human Resources, IT, and Legal, define and monitor Group-wide standards. The CFO is responsible for the Group’s financial affairs as well as other Corporate functions such as Investor Relations. The Regional Presidents are responsible for sales generation and services within their geography. The CMPO and the CTO focus on productivity and scale with a global R&D and product pipeline able to fulfill local market needs. The COO ensures factory network optimization with lean manufacturing and optimized direct and indirect spend. The President KWS continues to have the entrepreneurial responsibility for this global segment, including product development, production, sales, and services.
