Further development of the Group
Future organization
Our main focus in the coming year will be on integrating the business activities of the
LOGISTICS Corporate Division. is will lead to some reorganization – above all the
creation of a LOGISTICS Board Department; this has been managed by John Allan since
January 1, 2006.
In return, the services units will be bundled in the Global Business Services Board Depart-
ment, for which Frank Appel will have responsibility; this will result in the reallocation of
functions from other board departments. e end result will be to remove service func-
tions from the business responsibility of the corporate divisions and bundle them across
all levels and countries. e same approach will be used for the corresponding control-
ling functions, which will be consolidated in the Controlling Global Business Services
Department.
Future procurement activities
e integration of Exel will have a positive eect on our procurement activities. Our in-
tention is therefore to combine the two organizations as quickly as possible in order to
achieve corresponding cost synergies in purchasing. In addition, we aim to continue with
the standardization of our procurement processes and the development of the systems
technology for recording them.
We are also boosting the skills level of our sta: under our “Fit4Procurement” program,
each employee undergoes an expertise analysis that forms the basis for individual training
and development programs.
Future research and development
No disclosures are made in respect of this area, as Deutsche Post World Net, as a pure
service provider, does not perform any research and development activities.
Strategic opportunities
We have made excellent preparations for increasing mail competition. In addition to our
high quality standard and our highly ecient network with state-of-the-art mail centers,
we will establish ourselves as a provider of solutions and value-added services for our
customers and continue to internationalize our business. We intend to strengthen our
presence above all in Europe, North America and Asia – depending in each case on the
regulatory environment in the national postal markets.
We are integrating and modernizing our transport networks for the express market. is
results in economies of scale and higher-quality services at lower costs. In 2005, we intro-
duced additional measures to strengthen the business in the United States. e construc-
tion of a new European hub in Leipzig, where operations are to commence in 2008, is
expected to bring a further improvement in the global infrastructure.
