Hardly any process today is not IT-driven and you as a decision-maker must have an answer to all strategic IT questions!

In der heutigen Geschäftswelt ist IT längst kein reines Spezialistenthema mehr – nahezu jeder Unternehmensprozess ist IT-getrieben. Für Sie als Geschäftsführer, Vorstand, Beirat oder Aufsichtsrat bedeutet das: Sie stehen täglich vor der Herausforderung, strategische Entscheidungen zu treffen, deren Fundament immer häufiger technologische Entwicklungen und IT-Risiken bilden. Ein 1:1-IT-Briefing mit einem erfahrenen C-Level-Experten wie Dr. Claus Michael Sattler bietet Ihnen genau die Orientierung und Sicherheit, die Sie in Ihrer Rolle benötigen.

Ihr konkreter Nutzen aus einem 1:1-IT-Briefing

Schneller Kompetenzaufbau auf Top-Management-Level / C-Level: Sie erhalten auf Wunsch einen maßgeschneiderten Überblick über alle für Sie relevanten IT-Trends, regulatorische Anforderungen , Cyber-Resilienz-Strategien und die Integration von IT und OT – verständlich, kompakt und auf Ihre Branche zugeschnitten.

Sicherheit bei kritischen Entscheidungen: Sie können IT-bezogene Chancen und Risiken besser einschätzen, wissen, welche Fragen Sie im Vorstand oder Aufsichtsrat stellen müssen und erkennen, wo Handlungsbedarf in Ihrem Unternehmen besteht. Das schützt Ihr Unternehmen vor teuren Fehlentscheidungen und Reputationsschäden.

Wettbewerbsvorteil durch datengetriebene Management-Entscheidungen: Sie erfahren, wie Sie Datenanalysen und moderne IT-Infrastruktur gezielt für die Unternehmenssteuerung und Effizienzsteigerung einzelner Abteilungen oder das ganze Unternehmen nutzen. Das verschafft Ihnen einen Vorsprung gegenüber Wettbewerbern, die IT nur als Kostenfaktor betrachten.

Erfüllung regulatorischer Anforderungen: Sie verstehen, wie Sie Ihr Unternehmen fit für aktuelle und kommende gesetzliche Vorgaben machen – von Cybersecurity über KRITIS, NIS2 oder den Cyber Resilience Act der Europäischen Union bis hin zu branchenspezifischen Anforderungen. Das schützt Sie vor Haftungsrisiken und Bußgeldern.

Dies ist ausdrücklich keine juristische Rechtsberatung, die in Deutschland grundsätzlich nur durch das Rechtsdienstleistungsgesetz (RDG) zugelassenen Personen vorbehalten.

Verständnis für Industrie 4.0 und OT-Integration: Sie erkennen, wie die Verschmelzung von IT und operativer Technologie (OT / Industrie 4.0) neue Geschäftsmodelle ermöglicht und welche Chancen die Digitalisierung Ihrer Wertschöpfungsketten bietet.

Vertraulicher Sparringspartner auf Augenhöhe: Sie sprechen mit einem C-Level-Experten, der komplexe Sachverhalte verständlich macht, Ihre individuelle Situation kennt und Ihnen ehrliches, unabhängiges Feedback gibt – ohne Eigeninteressen oder interne Agenda.

Dies sind expemplarische Nutzen, die wir in einem persönlichen Gespräch gemeinsam sehr gerne individuell auf Ihren konkreten Bedarf zuschneiden werden.

Dr. Claus Michael Sattler - Clarity. Security. Future viability for decision-makers.

Advice that moves - experience that creates trust

With over 45 years of experience in professional IT, 200+ successfully realized projects, awarded as “Top 100 Interim Manager” by the Bundesvereinigung Mittelstand in Deutschland (BVMID) for 2024 and 2025, I support medium-sized companies and international corporations as CIO, CTO and CDO on an interim basis – nationally and internationally.

My approach: making complex issues understandable, clearly identifying risks and potential and developing pragmatic solutions together with you.

Why a personal IT briefing with Dr. Claus Michael Sattler makes all the difference for you as a decision-maker

I myself was Managing Director IT in various industries and a member of the board responsible for IT, OT, data analytics and data-driven management decisions.

I speak your language!

My guiding principle: “Hardly any process today is not IT-driven – and you as a decision-maker must evaluate answers to all IT questions!”

For decision-makers who want to know what comes next

This is where my 1:1 IT briefing for decision-makers comes in: You receive an independent, practical and comprehensible overview of the topics that really matter for you, your company and your role – individually, confidentially and at eye level.

This confidential 1:1 IT briefing is aimed exclusively at top managers in leading positions – managing directors and board members, board members and supervisory board members. I will brief you on the IT topics you specify. Together with you, I will analyze which strategic challenges affect your organization and/or individual departments.

Possible general topics

IT infrastructure measures
Machine integration (OT / Industry 4.0)
Data for data analysis and evaluation methods
Data-driven management decisions

Possible special topics

Digitalization of sales
Relevant classification of regulatory framework conditions
Independent external view of your system landscape
Disaster recovery strategies
Strategic risk and opportunity assessment
Concrete options for action for committees and management

Of course I am open to your specific topics. The topics listed here are just examples of the range of issues that I have been able to discuss and resolve with my clients at C-level.

Your advantages at a glance

Independent assessment: You receive an honest, neutral and well-founded assessment of your IT landscape, cyber resilience and digital strategy – always with a view to your business objectives and regulatory requirements.
Comprehensible analyses: I translate technical details into business-relevant information so that you can make viable decisions even without an IT background.
Practical recommendations: Instead of abstract theories, you receive concrete recommendations for action that can be implemented immediately – individually tailored to your situation and your company.
Confidentiality and eye level: The 1:1 briefing is your protected space for open questions, honest assessments and strategic impulses – without an agenda, without sales pressure, only in the interest of your success.
First-hand experience: Benefit from my expertise in IT infrastructure, OT/machine integration, Industry 4.0, data analytics and data-driven management decisions – from practice for practice.
