Focus areas
Digitisation of consulting
The success of management consulting depends heavily on expert knowledge and cooperation between consultants and client companies. The consulting industry remains a traditional ‘people-oriented business’ and therefore still offers great potential for digital transformation.
Digital Leadership
Doing the right things for strategic digitalisation is essential for maintaining the competitiveness of companies. Digital leadership takes place at various levels within the company and deals, among other things, with the development of digital skills and corporate structures that support innovation and digital transformation.
Technology-driven innovation and cloud deployment
Digital technologies are constantly evolving, and it is essential for companies to remain competitive by staying on the ball, pursuing exploitative and exploratory innovation, and using digital technologies in a targeted manner where they have a value-adding effect.
Digital Twins of Organisations
Digital twins of organisations are highly complex representations of entire organisations that collect and analyse real-time data on all relevant aspects of a company, from processes to employee knowledge. However, their high complexity makes them difficult to implement in practice and opens up a great deal of research potential.
CIO in the digital age
The role of the Chief Information Officer (CIO) or comparable functions at management level is changing in line with the changing opportunities and challenges of digital transformation, and is gaining in importance as a strategic leadership role with a creative impact. The training and further education of such transformation experts is a critical success factor and is constantly being enriched by new findings from research in this field.
