Strategy implementation

The building blocks of the Strong Rail strategy serve as a regulatory framework for the implementation and monitoring of the strategy. Concrete measures are the basis for each building block. A so-called construction manager was named for the operational control of each building block, and they are accountable to the Management Board for designing the specific measures and their operational implementation. The building blocks were anchored within the framework of the mid-term planning. We monitor the target contribution on the basis of key performance indicators (KPIs). Success is constantly measured, and is managed and monitored within the Strong Rail Board, a specially created body, supervised by the Management Board and the Chairs of the large business units of the integrated rail system.
