We advise on digitalization

Digital transformation doesn’t begin with software—it begins with purpose and added value. Because digitalization is changing everything, from processes to culture. With our digitalization consulting, we accompany you on this journey: Understanding digitalization. Managing processes. Shaping change.

Digital transformation is the key. But who holds it?

More than half of German companies are lagging behind with digital transformation. Four out of five digitalization projects fail to achieve their goals. AI could help reduce the staff shortage in administration by up to 165,000 positions.

The technology is there – but many organizations don’t know how to use it effectively. Digital transformation raises questions for which there is often a lack of time, know-how, or acceptance.

  • How can we successfully deal with new technologies without losing employees?
  • How do we create trustworthy data ecosystems for industry and society?
  • How do companies ensure their digital responsibility and their role in the data economy?
  • How does the administration achieve digital sovereignty – despite a shortage of skilled workers, overloaded structures and a lack of interfaces?

The challenges lie in the design, not just in the application. Digitalization is not just an IT issue, but a key to transformation in business, administration, and society. We are your partner, bringing together technology, the market, society, and politics – and developing effective solutions from this.

Digitalization is necessary. We make it possible.

We know that many digital projects feel like too many tools, too little time, and a lot of uncertainty. That’s why we combine technological expertise, methodological strength, and a deep understanding of social dynamics.

As thought leaders and innovators, we develop customized strategies for digital sovereignty and advise on artificial intelligence. We facilitate cross-departmental collaboration and foster acceptance for new tools and processes – both internally and externally. Our consulting services on digital transformation range from data spaces, corporate digital responsibility (CDR), and AI governance to participatory change processes. We help administrations, companies, and municipalities not only manage digital transformation but also shape it responsibly and sustainably: economically viable, socially acceptable, and politically feasible.
