Twin Transformation: Successfully managing digital and sustainable transformation

Twin transformation refers to the simultaneous digital and sustainable transformation of organizations. Such a process is characterized by a profound change in the design of business models, value creation processes, and technologies. This transformation should not be understood merely as a reaction to technological advances. Rather, it represents a proactive, strategically driven realignment of the entire organization that focuses on economic and ecological sustainability as well as digital innovation.

Digital innovations are the enabler for tomorrow's economy

»Digital innovations are the enabler for tomorrow's economy. They help to use resources sustainably, share knowledge and information, and shape an economically and ecologically successful "future fit for our grandchildren.«

Dr. Andreas Hamper

 

Digital technologies and data are the key to economically and ecologically sustainable business models, cross-company value creation, and efficient and effective use of resources. Digital technologies enable large amounts of data to be collected using IoT technologies, evaluated using AI and data analysis methods, and used in data ecosystems. This provides a basis for making informed decisions to optimize processes and identify new business opportunities. The increasing bilateral and multilateral exchange of data via cross-company platforms or data rooms is giving rise to new entrepreneurial ecosystems, whose potential will also need to be leveraged in the coming years.

The Business Transformation group sees itself as a link and translator between the management of the challenges of twin transformation at the strategic and tactical level and the potential of digital technologies as enablers of this transformation. We are distinguished by our combination of innovative spirit, proximity to a technology-strong institute, and practical management orientation.

Our expertise

 

We support companies with our expertise at the strategic and tactical level in the development of data-driven, sustainable business models, products, services, and organizations.

 

Development of strategies and transformation paths for digital and sustainable transformation

  • We analyze the status quo, develop target visions, and identify transformation paths for digital and circular transformation for companies. We use specially developed tools such as digital maturity measurement and the Smart Circularity Navigator to identify the initial state and provide strategic and tactical recommendations for development directions.

Designing circular and smart product-service systems and ecosystems

  • We identify potential for new data-based services and business models and develop corresponding service and business model concepts. We consider the impact on entrepreneurial ecosystems through the exchange of digital twin data in cross-company data rooms. We analyze the potential of the data economy for new smart services and carry out business analyses. We primarily apply this expertise in the context of circular transformation.

Supporting digital and circular transformation processes

  • We support companies through the changes brought about by twin transformation. To this end, we use a structured process to analyze socio-technical change requirements and provide recommendations for further implementation and necessary changes.
