Mastering digital transformation: your guide to successful digitalization projects
Discover how to plan your digital transformation, choose the right digitalization tools and reach your goals — with practical tips and step-by-step instructions to achieve lasting change.
Just imagine: no more mountains of paper-based requests, no sticky notes with forgotten meeting details. Instead, your processes run like clockwork thanks to handy automations. Tasks that used to take hours now take just seconds. That (and more) is the promise of digital transformation. But how can you make the shift without overwhelming your organization?
The answer isn’t always straightforward. Most decision-makers already know that digitalization is urgent. But as our “Digitalization in Germany’s local government: 2025 report” shows, turning intent into action remains a challenge. Clear strategies and experienced digitalization partners are often missing from the process. This guide is here to help you on your digital transformation journey — complete with practical tips and step-by-step instructions.
What is digital transformation — and why is it important?
Digital transformation is about more than just installing new software. It means fundamentally changing how your organization thinks and works. By using digital technologies, you can streamline processes, automate routine tasks and make collaboration more efficient. This is a vital shift if you want to remain competitive and meet the growing expectations of both customers and employees.
