Digital Transformation Consulting

Every business is unique. But to stand out in the market, your digital backbone needs to reflect that singularity too.

The power of Digital Transformation

When done right, transformation should allow your company to enhance productivity in the face of demographic changes, skilled labour shortages, and lower-cost production abroad.

In our experience, most organisations that embrace digital technologies and AI are aiming to achieve the following goals:

Improving competitiveness


Growing and strengthening customer relationships


Attracting and retaining essential talent


Developing new products and entering new markets


Gaining efficiencies and boosting productivity


Mitigating risk and ensuring compliance

Smart Accelerators for Digital Transformation Consulting

Our Smart Accelerators support you to take small, tailored, efficient, no-risk steps towards your digital and AI transformation goals. With our unique combination of business, technology and scientific expertise, we offer proven guidance, acting with execution in mind and a focus on delivery. Our Digital Transformation Consulting framework has three main stages:

Thought Leadership

We assess the current state of digital technology in your organisation. We share our best practices and provide insights into the latest technology trends. Doing so, we help you identify gaps and opportunities for your organisation to embrace digital transformation.

  • Client Roles: Business executives and sponsors, department heads, IT and software executives, other stakeholders
  • Your time commitment: 1 or 2 days

Together, we brainstorm and develop a realistic qualitative assessment of our ideas, ranking them based on feasibility, workload, and importance criteria.

  • Client Roles: Product or project owner
  • Your time commitment: 1 or 2 days

We distill the essential findings and innovative ideas generated during the workshop and ideation sessions. The outcome: you receive a personalised blueprint outlining potential digitalisation steps tailored to your business and market dynamics.

  • Client Roles: Product or project owner
  • Your time commitment: 1 day

Digital transformation strategy

Together, we run workshops to establish the level of digitalisation in your organisation, department, or business process. We may interview business, tech, and executive representatives to capture details, gaps, and opportunities.

We analyse a business process in more detail, assess data requirements and processing, and provide a comprehensive understanding of the current situation. The outcome is a solid foundation, including process, data, and system diagrams, that enables alignment with teams and stakeholders and facilitates informed decision-making and strategic planning.

  • Client Roles: Business executives, department heads, business professionals, stakeholders
  • Your time commitment: 1 or 2 days

Based on the findings, we generate ideas for process improvements and explore the potential of digital, software, and AI technologies. Next, we develop strategic hypotheses and apply qualitative criteria to evaluate and rank them. These criteria include benefits, feasibility, risk, and the magnitude of potential outcomes. Once the hypotheses have been assessed, we develop specific Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to measure their future success. The result is a rough digital strategy draft tailored to your business and objectives, ready for discussion and further development.

  • Client Roles: Business executives, department heads, business professionals, stakeholders
  • Your time commitment: Half day

We create a comprehensive strategy paper that guides your organisation in making informed decisions about the future of your digital transformation journey. We estimate approximate timelines and efforts to inform an investment plan. We outline the necessary organisational capabilities, including roles, skills, legal aspects, and technology. We assess opportunities and risks. The outcome is actionable strategy suggestions and a roadmap ready for implementation.

  • Client Roles: Business executives, department heads, business professionals, stakeholders
  • Your time commitment: Half day

Digital product and process design

We meet to discuss your ideas and objectives. We ask critical questions to uncover essential details. Additionally, we help your team align on motivations and other important aspects. The result is that we focus on the core of your vision for a process, product, or service.

  • Client Roles: Product or business owner, business executives and professionals, stakeholders
  • Your time commitment: 1 or 2 days

We develop design hypotheses to turn your vision into reality. We evaluate various options based on qualitative criteria (e.g. benefits, risks, feasibility) and align them with your strategic objectives. For the most promising design ideas, we define specific key performance indicators (KPIs) that you can use to assess their success later. The result: design drafts for discussion.

  • Client Roles: Product or business owner, business executives and professionals, stakeholders
  • Your time commitment: Half day

We provide a design document that assists you in determining whether and how to pursue your new digital venture. The outcome: practical design recommendations that are prepared for decision-making.

  • Client Roles: Product or business owner, business executives and professionals, stakeholders
  • Your time commitment: Half day
