Strategy 2027
The STARK Group is on an ambitious growth journey that combines organic and acquisitional growth.
Their strategy towards 2027 is based on 10 primary pillars, where number four is:
"Digital in everything we do: Aim to establish a modern digital foundation that makes key processes more effective, frees up time, and provides smarter, value-adding services that solve essential customer pain points."
Mission-critical IT
If you think carefully, I trust you can imagine what role IT plays in an organization like STARK. Without super flexible, scalable, efficient, reliable, and secure IT systems in every part of the business, STARK will fail. No number of skilled people, forklifts, or trucks can compensate for failing IT systems.
