Why are Digital Transformation & Innovation Managers important?

Digital innovation and transformation are decisive factors for the competitiveness of companies in the future.

Job opportunities

74% of companies in Germany see the lack of skilled workers as one of the biggest hurdles to digitalization in the company. At the same time, over 70% of companies will keep their digital investments constant or even increase them in 2025 compared to the previous year (Bitkom 2025). The demand and resources for digital transformation & innovation managers are therefore high.

Digital transformation

Digitalization opens up opportunities for companies to develop innovative business models. Three of the four most relevant trends for companies in Germany are increasing the digital skills of their teams and innovation and automation through AI.

This is where Digital Transformation & Innovation Managers can come in with their mix of technical understanding and implementation skills.

Sustainable culture

More and more companies are turning to sustainable innovations to meet the challenges of climate change and resource scarcity. Digital technologies can contribute around 24% to Germany's 2030 climate target, with the speed of digitalization being the decisive lever (Bitkom 2024).
