Digital done right!

Are you really ready for the digital transformation or is your organisation failing with your projects and simply not getting any closer to the digital strategy?

Are you afraid of missing out on the next hype but don't know how to prioritise your resources?

Are you overwhelmed by international regulatory developments and want to get an idea of how you might be affected?

With my expertise as an analyst, consultant and speaker, I can help you unleash the potential of digitalisation and take your organisation from 0 to 1.

Real and sustainable added value through digital transformation can only be created if all of the following dimensions are taken into account:

  • Risk & cyber security: What is the level of your security and dependencies?
  • Policy, governance & regulation: Do you know and anticipate the regulatory framework for the use of digital technologies and what governance issues they raise?
  • Technology assessment: What exactly is behind a technology and how does it affect your organisation?
  • Digital trust & ethics: Do you consider ethical issues in your digital strategy and do you have the trust of your partners?

Analyses

Development cycles are getting shorter and shorter, interactions between different actors are getting more and more complex: I help you to create clarity and to classify developments. What is really behind the latest technology hype? How do international regulatory developments affect you?

Consulting

Many digital transformation projects fail not because of the technology, but because the wrong questions are asked or the wrong assumptions are made at the beginning. Here, I advise you early in the strategy process and support you in the implementation. I have helped companies successfully launch digital products, develop the foundations of their data strategy, or successfully implement digitization strategies in the private and public sectors.

Appearances

Information only generates added value if it is conveyed correctly. Whether for lectures, talks or moderations: I mediate between technology, politics, economy and society what the digital transformation means for us and publish regularly on various aspects of the digital transformation from digital ethics and cyber security to artificial intelligence.
