On 30 October 2025, the Rhineland-Palatinate Digital Administration Conference will take place in Mainz. As part of the event, I will be participating in Expert Forum 4, ‘Digital Governance and Portfolio Management – Impact-Oriented Digitalisation,’ together with
- Susanne Burmeister, Ministry of Labour, Social Affairs, Transformation and Digitalisation,
- Andreas Mattlener, Rhineland-Palatinate University of Public Administration,
- Carsten Klages, ]init[, and
- Steffen Söngen, ibo Software,
to discuss how clear control, prioritisation and transparency can create real impact in digitalisation and how digitalisation strategies in public administration can be implemented in a sustainable and impact-oriented manner.
Why portfolio management is key to impact-oriented digitalisation
Effective portfolio management creates the basis for strategic control and sustainable impact in administrative digitalisation. It enables all digitalisation projects to be recorded transparently, prioritised according to their benefits and impact, and resources to be used in a targeted manner. This turns a multitude of individual projects into a controllable overall picture – with a clear focus on overarching goals and measurable results.
Especially in times of tight budgets, portfolio management helps to avoid duplicate structures, exploit synergies and make the effectiveness of digitalisation visible – for administrations, employees and citizens alike.
Digitalisation with impact – despite tight budgets
In my article on the workshop ‘Digitalisation with impact despite tight budgets’ at the NEGZ autumn conference, I describe how practice-oriented portfolio management supports administrations in creating transparency and making impact-oriented decisions.
The focus is on thinking about digitalisation not only in technical terms, but also in strategic and organisational terms – as an ongoing process that has an impact and strengthens trust.
Moving forward together
Digital Administration Rhineland-Palatinate shows how important dialogue between administration, science and consulting is in order to shape digital change in a sustainable way.
I look forward to contributing mgm’s perspective to this discussion – and, together with the other experts, to identifying ways in which governance and portfolio management can specifically advance digitalisation in Germany.
