LeanLeaderSummit 2025 – thank you Karsten Voges and Lean42 GmbH for the opportunity to speak at your event and share my experiences on DigitalTransformation and HashtagInternalConsulting. The right mixture of CIOs, IT Leaders, Enterprise Architects and partners. Focus on presentations from real experiences and enough time for networking made this event special!
–> 31 presentations
–> 39 speakers
–> 200 registrations
Everybody who follows me know what comes next 😉 4 key take aways:
1️⃣ 10 reasons why transformation fails: They are all about people (Thank you Julie Short for being so clear and honest)
2️⃣ The Executive Management nominates Enterprise Architecture as one of THE topics for their future development and digital transformation (Thank you Jutta Rößner for your insights)
3️⃣ “Psychological safety is the characteristic of outperforming teams. If you never have time how could your people tell you what’s going on?” (Thank you Veroniek Vermeulen (Silatha) for this passionate presentation)
4️⃣ Why do we still inform SteerCos with PPTs on which we copy the information from the tools our teams use on a day to day basis? If we use THEIR information systems, we do not only gain efficiency, but also align the decision making information with daily work (Thank you Robert Winter for science meets business and see you soon in St. Gallen)
And as 4 insights are not enough for this event, also few little anecdotes 😁 which will stick:
🚪 Nora Legittimo, I will never forget how doors can open 😉 and respect for a role-based Executive Management approach!
🎨 Torsten Kanngießer, I love your presentation title: “Without a consistent data model, you shouldn’t do dashboards, but art”. Couldn’t agree more.
🪦 Dr. Thomas Meintrup, the software killer, as software does not die 😉
🌟 Robert Winter, who tought me a new word: TAFCAPs (The artifact formerly called a project)
