Further transformation to be undertaken. Although 50% of the Group can already be managed for growth, the potential of turnaround remains high. The remaining 50% will be transformed to unlock value.
Change in mindset from volume to value growth. Moving up the value chain and establishing the positioning of Nexans as a service provider will be key in the coming years.
Increased accountability and agility. The empowerment of employees at all levels coupled with a higher discipline in execution will allow Nexans’ organization to be leaner and more agile.
