Energie: Schulden, Image, Doppelstrukturen – Warum Eon jetzt sparen will
Steigende Kosten setzen den Netzbetreiber unter Druck. Kunden und Mitarbeiter ärgern sich über ineffiziente Abläufe. Bei dem Sparprogramm geht es nicht nur ums Kostensenken.
Düsseldorf - Eon's chief executive Leo Birnbaum has expressed frustration with the company's complex structures, attributing them to a culture of bureaucracy that rewards complexity and delegation. Birnbaum wrote on LinkedIn that such a culture results in longer procedures and higher costs.
Recently, Eon revealed that it is collaborating with McKinsey & Company on a cost-cutting initiative called "Polaris". Financial market observers and industry experts are now wondering about the reasons behind this move. Thomas Deser, a portfolio manager at Union Investment, expressed surprise at Eon's decision to embark on such a program, questioning whether the company was too successful or had a reason not to undertake a similar initiative in the past.
Eon claims that the program is not unique and that the company is regularly assessed for potential improvements. However, the timing of the announcement seems deliberate. Insider conversations and observations suggest that there are multiple reasons for the launch of this cost-saving initiative now, and the primary objective is to streamline the organization.
