Success with Digital Business Models: Your Path to the Future!
Disruptive innovations and emerging competitors are swiftly turning digital challenges into powerful competitive advantages. The digital revolution now permeates nearly every industry and aspect of life, pushing traditional business models to adapt or be left behind. New technologies like artificial intelligence, blockchain, and the Internet of Things are reshaping the landscape, calling for a strategic rethink toward innovative digital business models.

To be successful in this dynamic environment, it is crucial to proactively exploit the opportunities offered by digitalisation. With our many years of experience in various industries and company sizes, we can guide you on the right path into the age of digitalisation. We support you in developing individual digital strategies, optimising processes and implementing innovative digital business models. Together, we shape change and ensure your sustainable success in an increasingly digital world.
Service areas
Digital change is not just the digitalization of existing workflows and processes, but above all the development of new, integrated products and solutions. This also results in the development of new digital business models.

Potential analysis
Identify fields of action with the greatest potential and a quick ROI and make the added value of digitalization visible for the company. Documenting the discussion about the necessity of digitalization as early as possible with classic business cases helps to make the potential more tangible for management. We support you in the creation of initial business cases and in proof of concepts.

Digitization strategy
Individual digitalization projects do not constitute a strategy. Adapting business models, the necessary technical changes and, last but not least, the impact on the organization should be planned for the long term and communicated within the company. We help you to develop your digitalization strategy, change digital business models and prepare the technological decisions

Implementation
Good ideas are only successful if they are implemented well. The implementation of new technologies involves risks that can quickly turn into cost drivers. Here it is important to secure sufficient know-how and to accept the possible failure of projects at an early stage. Try-fast and fail-early helps to be innovative and keep costs under control at the same time. We support you in challenging implementation projects with our know-how.

Management consulting
Change takes place in the mind first. This realization does not only apply in the computer age, but due to the increasing speed, this insight is becoming more and more important. The head of the company is the management and this is where digitalization must be understood, accepted and lived. Change management and communication are crucial in the fast pace of digitalization in order to remain competitive. We support your management in adapting to this challenge.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMER FITTER YOU SAYS:
“After our first meeting with XQ Digital, we’ve already learned a lot about what we need to change and improve to bring our innovative fitness app ‘FitterYou’ to market.”
“With XQ Digital’s support, we were able to save hundreds of thousands of euros in development costs while establishing a stable and viable operating model for our hosting and app backend. The broad knowledge of software architecture, hosting and organizational design was the key to the success of our app, in addition to the deep understanding of the implementation of business models.”

DIGITAL BUSINESS MODELS & STRATEGY
Only a convincing business model or ROI calculation leads to a successful management buy-in. Business, spin-off or marketing planning - our experts help you to thoroughly evaluate digital business models and establish them in your organization.

Digitization roadmap
You don't have the time or resources to turn recognized opportunities into business success. We turn your business innovation into an actionable plan and a roadmap for digitalization.

Technical planning
Digitalization requires a deeper understanding of the necessary resources and technologies. We guide you to the relevant system architecture, the relevant technology partners and support you in creating a budget and project plan for your business model.
Implementation of digital business models
When it comes to implementing a digital strategy, most companies discover that the biggest challenge is not the definition of the strategy, but the practical implementation. The ability to lead a complex transformation process, to change mindsets, processes or digital business models requires experience. We turn your plans into a real business and support you in establishing them in your organization.

Technology selection
This task is often very difficult for a company that only procures tools once every few years. Our experts know the market and support you with their broad specialist knowledge, always keeping an eye on your IT architecture and operations, as there is usually no “one size, fits all” and the best solution differs from company to company.

Hands-On
Challenges are inevitable in a digitalization project. Our experts have the technical knowledge and experience to help your team make the right IT architecture and operational decisions.
Management consulting
Change is not something that happens overnight. As experts, we help your management to better understand the potential of digitalization or support you with coaching services for CIO, CTO or CDO. On your advisory board, we help you to shape change sustainably. Alternatively, we can find the right person to support you in preparing your company for the digital challenges through our large network of experts in the DACH region.

Coaching
Communicate the changes correctly, set priorities and also make compromises. In times of change, the skills to do this need to be even better developed. Our experienced consultants have been through these situations many times and share this experience in the form of personal coaching to provide your managers with the best possible support during the transformation.

Change mangement
Adaptation of process and workflow is often just as necessary as the success of the implementation project. Change management must take the teams involved on the journey in order to achieve positive momentum.
