BrazilAsante Kotoko inches closer to appointing Scheer Group as business consultants
Talks about a partnership between German management consultancy Scheer Group and one of Ghana’s largest football clubs Asante Kotoko appear to have reached a fairly advanced stage. The two entities are negotiating a contract for the German consultancy to be the official business consultant at the club.
Scheer Group is a German consulting firm established in 2010 that offers clients support with business model transformation. The firm relies on digital enhancements, and helps clients with leveraging digitalisation to optimise and improve efficiency at every stage of their operations.
Some of the firm’s flagship products, in this regard, are based in the cloud environment. These include the Scheer BPaaS platform architecture and the Scheer E2E Bridge. The former offer end-to-end optimisation services, while the latter facilitates system integration and ensures transparency.
Other services offered by the firm include management consulting support, including transformation strategies, business process management, strategic IT management, project performance management, innovation management and several others.
Ghanaian football club Asante Kotoko is now looking to capitalise on this vast pool of expertise by bringing Scheer on board as its business consultant. The two entities are currently engaged in talks to form a global partnership, and reports suggest that the deal has reached an advanced stage.
Alongside overall business consultancy, the partnership will entail consulting support with social media management, sponsorship development from the corporate market, attracting investment from international companies, as sell as data collection from the club’s fan base for targeted marketing initiatives.
Executives from the club and the consulting firm held talks at the club secretariat earlier this week, a meeting that was attended by Scheer Group Managing Director Michael Hofbauer. The club was represented by CEO George Amoako in addition to other policy analysts and administrative managers.
