Digitalization inevitably leads to business processes changing and roles and responsibilities being redistributed. At the same time, new legal requirements, regulations and standards need to be met. Maintaining an overview in this complex situation and managing all the necessary changes in terms of operational excellence presents many companies with considerable challenges.
Governance & Operational Excellence
Governance: The balance between freedom and control
Digitalization is leaving its mark on companies. First of all, new and creative ways must be found to create space for innovation. The implementation of innovative digital solutions requires new IT systems that are more powerful and have additional functions. At the same time, manual processes are being supplemented or completely replaced by digital workflows. In contrast, we are currently seeing a significant increase in government regulation.
In addition to information and data processing security requirements, environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) issues are playing an increasingly important role. Achieving the right balance between creative freedom and the exploitation of technical possibilities on the one hand, and control to ensure efficiency in business processes and compliance with legal regulations and obligations on the other, presents companies with considerable challenges.

Operational Excellence: For continuous improvement of your processes
Companies are constantly changing. New competitors are entering the market, new digital technologies are setting innovative standards, new regulatory and legal requirements must be observed and customers' purchasing behavior is also changing. At the same time, value creation must be maximized with the existing business model. The digital transformation is increasing the pressure for change within the company and is contributing to the fact that many companies now see the adaptation and optimization of their business processes as an ongoing task.
With operational excellence, you can ensure that company processes and activities along your value chain are aligned in such a way that the expected results are achieved in an efficient and risk-optimized manner and that a learning and continuously improving organization is created. However, this requires a will to change and a commitment to quality, as well as transparency regarding critical process performance parameters or compliance with norms and standards - be it in the areas of IT security, data protection or sustainability.

Our strategic consulting services for your governance and operational excellence
Ideation workshop with a 360° approach (PESTEL)
Our joint approach:
Using our 360° approach (PESTEL), we show you the developments that are relevant to your corporate and IT governance, from technologies such as cloud and artificial intelligence to social and environmental aspects such as new work and decarbonization in IT, to new legal requirements such as the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act, and place them in the context of your company's digital transformation.
Your benefits:

ESG Discovery Workshop on Opportunities and Risks
Our joint approach:
Environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) issues are coming into focus. This development is also affecting IT. However, the selection and prioritization of measures, such as reducing the carbon footprint of your own IT, should not be left to chance. In our Master Class Workshop, we will work with you to determine which ESG measures make sense for your company.
Your benefits:
- Basic concept for ESG risk management
- ESG measures catalog with initial key figures
- Recommendations for implementing measures
- Insights into best practices based on our project experience
Assessment of your ESG maturity level
Our joint approach:
Together, we evaluate your ESG maturity level, record the measures planned and already implemented, and work with you to identify any anomalies and irregularities in the way your company deals with ESG issues. Our ESG assessment is based on relevant ISO standards on the environment (e.g., ISO 14001), social responsibility (e.g., ISO 26000), and governance (e.g., ISO 37000).
How you benefit:
- Identification of significant risks and opportunities related to ESG issues, together with an ESG red flag analysis
- A clear picture of how your company is positioned in terms of ESG risk management
- An objective assessment of the maturity level of the ESG criteria relevant to you
- Concrete suggestions for next steps (projects and initiatives)
Roadmap Design: Best Practices for ESG Implementation
Our joint approach:
In our Roadmap Design Workshop, we compile all planned and ongoing ESG measures and align the goals for the individual measures with your company's overarching ESG objectives. If necessary, we work with you to develop corrective proposals for measure planning, develop proposals for additional measures, and transfer the results into a binding ESG roadmap.
Your benefits:
- Summary of all ESG projects and initiatives in a realistic plan for the implementation of ESG risk management
- Actionable milestones for ESG projects and initiatives with clearly defined goals and handover points for work results
Assessment: DSGVO / GDPR and data governance maturity level
Our joint approach:
With digitalization, the volume of data processed in a company is increasing significantly. How can you demonstrate your GDPR compliance and improve the maturity of your data protection environment in this dynamic environment? With our GDPR and data governance assessment, we determine how data protection requirements are handled in your company.
Your benefit:
- Assessment of the implementation of the principles for effective data protection management in your data governance in accordance with legal requirements
- Specific recommendations for additional processes, technologies or control measures to increase the maturity level of your data protection environment
- Structured preparation for a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA)
