EBIT Growth Gap

Define your Closable EBIT Growth Gap

What we do: Align on 3–5 year EBIT ambition. Map all current initiatives. Classify into cost savings, revenue growth, and long-term bets. Model likely outcomes using Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). Quantify the gap between ambition and reality.

Outcome: A “closable EBIT growth gap” with a realistic new target. A baseline model everyone trusts. Clear problem framing for the next days.
