Digitization and success – Step by Step

In projects, I am repeatedly asked whether we could just introduce digitalization (synonymous with digital transformation, Industry 4.0, Industrial Internet of Things) in a company. Leading software manufacturers suggest that digitalization is implemented once their software has been introduced. It makes no difference whether you look at the marketing of providers of enterprise resource planning systems (ERP) or customer relationship management systems (CRM) or whether you look at the marketing of manufacturers of office applications, such as voice recognition systems.

My answer is always the same: “It depends!”

It depends on the size of the team provided, the budget and, above all, the task at hand as to whether the digital transformation of the company’s processes is possible at the drop of a hat. Over the past 26 years, I have developed a different attitude towards the implementation of digitalization in the companies I have supported. Yes, my first project started on January 1, 1995, just over 26 years ago.

The slogan is “Step by step to success through digitalization”. Many companies cannot cope with the big bang of digital transformation, neither in terms of personnel nor budget. However, the targeted implementation of individual, manageable digitalization projects by company management has always led to success. With every project implemented, the successes are more measurable, acceptance among employees increases and the risk of failure is significantly reduced.

This is how I have been implementing digitalization projects in SMEs for years – step by step. I describe exactly how in my book “Simply think differently about data! – The undiscovered gold of companies!”, which will be published towards the end of Q4.2023.
