THIS IS PLAN D

PLAN D is a visionary management and technology consultancy. Together with our clients, we develop digital and data strategies and implement new technologies and products. This is how we turn our clients into data-driven companies.

We are a team of strategists, managers, nerds and industry experts. For us, it is clear that only those who understand strategy in the context of both business and of technological possibilities, will be able to shape the future.

We take a holistic view of our customers' challenges and answer their strategic questions with the help of data analysis, and, where appropriate, by applying artificial intelligence.

Quite simply: This is your future shaped by data.

Why do we do this

We believe in continuous transformation and that the only constant is change. And that in order to win, you must take action. Through our work, we show our clients new perspectives and encourage employees to build up their data and technology competencies.This is how we make companies future-proof, competitive and digitally powerful.

How we work

We make it happen
We don’t get bogged down in lengthy processes and structures, instead we implement ideas and solutions in an agile and sustainable manner. In doing so, we regularly challenge ourselves and our customers to exceed our own expectations.

Truth is beauty
We question the status quo - the products and business models, the basic parameters, and the environment in which our customers operate. We do not artificially cling to “business as usual”. We are unafraid of the truth, and we do not shy away from sharing it.

The next best thing
We encourage our customers to take calculated risks: in the latest technologies, methods and approaches. We always strive to learn new things and to implement these insights to the benefit of our customers. This is how we help our customers secure a strategic and technological competitive advantage - now and in the future.

The Founders

Sebastian Bluhm

Managing Partner

Sebastian combines technological and strategic expertise: He has many years of experience in managing and implementing technology projects - for medium-sized companies over to multinational corporations. He has a deep understanding of the technologies driving digitalization, and their impact. He is particularly interested in sustainable implementation: products, IT architectures and strategy must make sense in the long term.

Sebastian also brings speed and structure to ongoing projects, simplifying complex processes. He is driven by the need for continual development and questioning. For him, standing still is not an option - not even when he is riding his racing bike.

Dirk Schmachtenberg

Managing Partner

As a management consultant with international experience, Dirk is responsible for strategic innovation and business model development - from concept design to implementation. At PLAN D, he is the expert for organizational development and change management. He is particularly interested in the impact of digital transformation on the work and society of tomorrow.

In projects, Dirk can do it all: he creates order and structured processes where needed, but if necessary, he turns ideas completely upside down. No matter what, he always maintains a sense of curiosity, openness, farsightedness and an understanding of overarching trends and relationships - whether at work or on his surfboard.

Our Team

We are a diverse team with a wide variety of professional backgrounds. This not only benefits our clients, but also plays to our advantage in our daily work.

This is how we work together seamlessly:

The economist explains our clients’ business model to a developer, and expands upon the relevance of the available data and the strategic impact of AI on that particular market.

The data scientist shows the consultant which machine learning algorithms are best suited to the existing data set, and which metrics should be used.

Finally, the communications expert supports the project with a coherent storyline.
