Services
I work in focused sprints — typically 2–4 days per week over 2–12 weeks. No framework contracts, no overhead. Results in weeks, not quarters.
Digitalization Strategy & Roadmap
Where do you stand and what takes priority?
What it's about
Your company has been building plants, optimizing processes and serving customers for decades. Now digitalization is on the agenda — but where to start? I do an honest assessment: conversations with the people who carry the company, not PowerPoint audits from the outside.
What I do specifically
- Structured interviews with key people (management, engineering, sales, IT)
- Process mapping: Where do you lose time? Where are the workarounds?
- Data audit: What data exists, in what condition, how accessible?
- IT assessment: System landscape, capacities, realistic load capacity
- Prioritized roadmap with concrete next steps and effort estimates
Typical result after 2–4 weeks
A digitalization roadmap that separates quick wins from strategic investments — and realistically accounts for existing IT capacities.
For whom
Industrial companies in the energy sector that know they need to digitalize but don't know where to start — and don't want a large consultancy delivering a 200-page report after 3 months.
Digital Product Development & Data Architecture
How does your expertise become a digital product?
What it's about
You have process know-how, operational data from hundreds of plants, or control logic that can be translated into software. I help you turn that into a marketable product — from concept to working prototype.
What I do specifically
- Define target users and prioritize requirements
- Evaluate architecture options (build vs. buy vs. hybrid, stack, data model)
- Data architecture: Which data points, at what frequency, through which path
- Realistically assess AI potential (anomaly detection, forecasting models, automated fault diagnosis)
- Deliver a concept paper or working prototype
- Roadmap and effort estimate for implementation
Typical result after 1–12 weeks (depending on scope)
Validated product concept with architecture recommendation, cost estimate and clear decision basis: proceed, adjust or drop.
For whom
Companies with operational data, sensor data or process know-how that want to build a digital product or data-driven service — e.g. energy monitoring, plant dashboards or predictive maintenance.
Technology Evaluation & Business Case
Is it worth it — and if so, how?
What it's about
Evaluate new technology before you invest. Or: assess existing R&D results for market viability and structure the path to commercialization.
What I do specifically
- Technology Readiness Assessment (TRL evaluation with market perspective)
- Competitive analysis and positioning (benchmark against 3–5 solutions)
- Business case: CapEx/OpEx, break-even, risk assessment
- Funding landscape: national and EU programs, investor landscape
- Clear recommendation: go, pivot or kill — backed by numbers, not gut feeling
Typical result after 2–4 weeks
Decision basis for management with market analysis, competitive benchmark, business case and defined next step.
For whom
Companies with innovation initiatives or R&D projects in the energy space — such as CCS/CCU, biomass gasification or new process technology — that need an independent assessment before investing.
