iTS Kanal Services: 100 Day Strategy
iTS Kanal Services AG is a leader in sewer infrastructure services in Switzerland. When they approached amplilabs, they were ready to move from successful growth to strategic growth — but needed help aligning their leadership team around a shared vision.
The Challenge
Fast-growing companies often reach a point where intuitive decision-making needs to be complemented by strategic planning. iTS had grown successfully, but their leadership team had different perspectives on priorities and direction.
Our Approach
We designed a «100 Day Strategy» process — an intensive but focused engagement designed to produce clarity and alignment quickly. The process included:
Leadership interviews: One-on-one conversations to hear what each leader actually thought — and what they weren’t saying in the room.
Facilitated strategy workshops: The whole leadership team in the room, working through the hard trade-offs together instead of around each other.
Structured follow-up: A clear plan so the decisions didn’t evaporate the week after the workshop.
The Results
By the end of the 100-day period, the leadership team had:
- A clear, shared strategic vision
- Aligned priorities for the next 12-24 months
- Concrete action plans with assigned ownership
- New habits for ongoing strategic conversation
«Emilie is a real expert who quickly finds access to people and understands their company. In the workshops she conducted, she impressively succeeded in conveying complex Design Thinking methods to a wide variety of participants in an easily comprehensible and structured manner.» — Urs Aschwanden, CEO, iTS Kanal Services AG
Why 100 Days?
Strategy work can easily stretch into an endless process. The 100-day constraint creates urgency and focus. It’s long enough to do thorough work, but short enough to maintain momentum and see results.
