These companies are characterized by a low IT intensity; a successful transformation therefore requires the development of skills among managers and employees in parallel with the development of technological skills. He also focuses on business development and product management for providers of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies.

The interim manager has particular expertise in dovetailing strategy development, IT/OT integration and transformation management. In strategy development, he translates technological impulses into options for action and value contributions for the company. For IT/OT integration, he develops open software architectures in order to integrate commercially available solutions and lay the path for further development. In transformation management, he builds both technological and organizational capabilities and monitors implementation with transformative release plans. He plans value generation in implementation waves, and all activities and work results are managed holistically. The dovetailing of these steps ensures that the agreed strategic goals and targeted value contributions are achieved with the core technological implementation.
