Mittwoch, Juni 3, 2026

Cost pressure, persistent skills shortage and AI are redefining the rules of the game for services companies. Traditional pricing and contract models are increasingly exposed, while those that adapt are creating a clear competitive edge.

To stay ahead, services companies need to strengthen their commercial muscle, revisit their approach to contracting and pricing, and develop a clear view on how AI can enhance delivery and revenue models across services and solutions.

At this in-person Simon-Kucher Roundtable dedicated to the services sector, we bring together experts and practitioners to share what works in practice. From managing price increases with confidence, to optimizing margins through contract management, to rethinking revenue models in an AI-driven environment. The focus is on actionable insights that translate into results.

Alongside plenary sessions, targeted breakouts allow for deeper discussion and peer exchange in a trusted setting.

Attendance is limited to maintain depth of dialogue and exchange.

Roundtable discussion: Protecting margin through disciplined contract management

Why this is relevant: Many service organizations experience margin leakage between contracted scope, delivered work, and invoiced revenue. Scope creep, implicit contingencies and weak change management erode profitability over time. How can contract management become a proactive commercial lever to ensure delivered value is consistently captured and monetized?

16:30 - 17:30 CET
Roundtable discussion: Innovating the revenue model in an AI-driven environment

Why this is relevant: AI drives efficiency gains, but comes at substantial investment costs. Increased efficiency is passed on directly to clients in a time-based price model. How can service firms broaden their pricing toolbox to protect margins and capture the value AI enables?

17:30 - 18:30 CET
