Masterclass August 12, 2026: Reality Check: Digital Transformation - Survey Results

The Masterclass “Reality Check: Digital Transformation” is built on the results of a dedicated survey on digitalisation in the German Mittelstand and turns these insights into actionable guidance. We present and debate the key findings across strategy, technology, organization, leadership and impact, moving from assumptions to measurable outcomes. The focus is on the most significant barriers to progress, clear recommendations for management, and practical strategies for implementation. The Speakers Michael Braun and Marc Rodenkirchen combine deep systems expertise with leadership experience to lead the analytical review of the survey, while Dr Karolina Sauer Sidor moderates and structures the discussion.

Objectives of the survey
The survey is designed to provide a clear picture of the current level of digitalization and transformation within the company across various dimensions. It aims to make the level of ambition, the acceptance and use of digital tools, and the engagement of leaders and employees measurable. On this basis, companies can sharpen their digital strategy, set project priorities, and establish outcome metrics.

Key findings
The analysis shows where digital transformation is already well embedded and where gaps are becoming visible. The outcome metrics reveal whether digital transformation is already measurably driving growth, profitability, innovation, and enhanced customer experiences, or whether there is still a significant need for action.

Conclusions
The results allow targeted measures to be derived to better align strategy, technology, organisation, and leadership with digital transformation. We will discuss in the masterclass how companies can, for example, refine their level of ambition and outcome KPIs and how employees can be systematically involved.
