SOM – STRATEGIC OPERATIONAL MANAGEMENT
Ability to act under all conditions
SOM stands for a mission-oriented leadership approach that combines strategic thinking with operational implementation – fast, robust, adaptable.
In a time of growing threats – from sabotage, espionage and disinformation to hybrid crises, natural disasters and critical infrastructure failures – what is needed are not concepts for regular operations, but systems for emergencies.
SOM enables people, structures and organizations to act immediately at the decisive moment.
Principles of SOM
Leadership under pressure
Clear decision-making processes, targeted prioritization and assertiveness – even without a complete situation.
Urgency & speed of implementation
No long analysis phases – but targeted action in minutes, not days.
Hardening & resilience
Structures, processes and tools that are failure-tolerant, fail-safe and resilient.
Flexibility & modularity
Solutions that adapt to the situation – not the other way around. From individual devices to system networks.
Operational logic instead of administration
Focus on impact, not bureaucracy. For people in the field – not just at their desks.
Interoperability
Connectable to existing civilian, military and technical systems – locally and internationally.
Redundancy capability & offline operation
Critical functions remain available even without internet, power or central control.
Early warning & prevention
Predictive detection instead of pure reaction – combined with structured preparation.
Enabling responsibility
Tools and processes that enable people to take responsibility under stress – instead of passing it on.
The SOM approach: Think strategically. Act operationally.
Since 1992, we have been developing solutions that are geared towards the real world – not wishful thinking.
Built for real conditions – effective in an emergency, valuable in everyday life.
SOM also supports leadership, structure and responsiveness in day-to-day operations: clear processes, reduced complexity, targeted preparation for the unexpected.
Efficient in operation. Manageable in an emergency.
