Consulting

Today, companies operate in an environment that changes faster than their own planning cycles. Most organizations respond to this with what they know: they rely on more expertise, more analysis, and more planning. The problem isn’t that these tools are ineffective. The problem is that they were designed for a world that no longer exists. The crucial question is therefore: How can management succeed in dynamic times so that direction translates into effectiveness without simplifying away the complexity?

All companies are currently working on AI pilots, have defined use cases, are deploying tools, and some are already incorporating AI into their workflows or working with AI agents. The expectation is clear: to become faster, work more efficiently, and solve current problems. But in reality, when AI actually works, a pattern emerges that many did not anticipate. It is no longer just about efficiency. Our thesis: AI does not automatically accelerate work, but rather ruthlessly exposes where the organization is unclear.

Cyber security, NIS2, and DORA—few topics are currently as important to decision-makers. But there is more to these buzzwords than just another regulatory exercise. Those who see the new requirements as an opportunity will not only strengthen their compliance, but also the operational resilience of their entire organization.

On March 18, 2026, mgm consulting partners and Steelcase invite decision-makers to Hamburg. In the newly designed mgm office in the Speicherstadt, futurology, organizational consulting, and workspace design come together with the aim of providing impetus for effective corporate transformation.

AI has arrived in the energy industry—but often fails to make a real impact. Find out why the main bottleneck is not the tool itself, but rather its lack of integration into processes and roles—and how AI can create measurable added value.

The energy industry is undergoing profound change: increasing regulation, advancing digitalization, growing cyber risks, and high economic pressure. Today's energy companies must operate more efficiently, securely, and innovatively. From February 10 to 12, 2026, we will be presenting our consulting services and solutions for a sustainable energy industry at E-world energy & water in Essen.

It is a cold December evening. Fairy lights stretch across the square like a promise, the scent of cinnamon and cloves hangs in the air, and somewhere, cups clink together. The Christmas market is open and has a few lessons to teach us about digitalisation and transformation.

The insurance industry is in the midst of one of the most profound transformations in its history. While customers are developing higher digital expectations and new competitors are scoring points with their speed of innovation, regulatory requirements are also growing steadily – from DORA and NIS2 to stricter requirements for outsourcing and cybersecurity.

The digitalisation of the energy industry is no longer an option, but a basic requirement for security of supply, climate targets and economic competitiveness. However, many companies underestimate the fact that the central driving force behind this transformation is regulation. It sets the pace, defines standards and forces companies to rethink their IT architectures, data flows and processes. Those who see it only as an obligation will lose out. Those who use it strategically will win.

In the new episode of Innovation Implemented, project manager Merle Best provides deep insight into the reality of large SAP S/4HANA transformations. Under the motto ‘Between timelines, turmoil and to-dos,’ she talks about how good planning, structured collaboration and realistic expectations keep complex projects on track.
