A modern state means a capable state! In a complex world full of crises and political frustration, democracy must offer its citizens effective solutions. Rapid and effective state modernization is essential.
70% of citizens believe the government is overwhelmed, and only 25% believe it can fulfill its duties. Half of Germans are losing faith in democracy. No wonder. In times of multiple crises, the demands on the government are higher than ever.
Existing processes and structures lack the necessary flexibility and innovative capacity. To keep pace, new approaches to political governance are needed – for municipalities, state authorities, ministries, but also foundations and NGOs.
Digitalization and AI in administration, open government, and smart cities are necessary to keep pace with social and economic processes. It’s not just about technological innovation, but rather about cultural and procedural administrative modernization:
The government must deliver. This is where we come in.
Floods of forms, mountains of paper, endless waiting, bureaucratic frustration. This can be better. We are committed to an effective government.
We help successfully implement digital administration and promote citizen participation. Through open government and digital tools, we create transparency and speed. We develop solutions for administrative modernization for local and state authorities and promote citizen participation. We advise ministries on the introduction of AI in administration and digital solutions.
We are experts in policy development and dialogue-based and collaborative action. Organizational and cultural development is in our DNA. This is how we shape a citizen-oriented, efficient administration for an effective, modern state.
Modernizing government requires a synergy of competencies: strategy, communication, dialogue, and process management. Our project teams advise on digitalization and AI in administration, support cultural change processes, and shape communication for greater acceptance and more effective implementation: Method meets expertise.

A modern state is capable of addressing the challenges of our time and offering its citizens real solutions through efficient and transparent processes. It leverages digital technologies and innovative administrative processes to ensure its effectiveness.
The government can increase citizen engagement by using digital tools and open government initiatives that create transparency and promote participation without bureaucratizing the political process.
Digital administration refers to the use of technology to simplify, automate and make administrative processes more efficient while maintaining personal contact with citizens.
Open government means open and transparent government work that enables citizens to actively participate in political processes and thus increases the acceptance of government action.
Artificial intelligence can be used in administration to automate processes, make political decisions more informed through data analysis, and increase efficiency, creating a modern and future-proof administration.
The biggest challenges in modernizing the state are overcoming existing bureaucracy, the shortage of skilled workers, and integrating new technologies into administration to meet the needs of citizens.
Citizen-oriented administration can be achieved through digital transformation, improved communication and the creation of participation opportunities that promote direct dialogue between citizens and administration.
