AI Initiatives: identifying and promoting practical Artificial Intelligence use cases across the IT department
As Interim Head of IT for a German medium-sized industrial distributor, I am responsible for 31 IT employees and lead the digital and organizational transformation, reporting directly to executive leadership. I took over an IT department with almost no basic structures – no clear roles, processes, documentation or ticket system – and with significant technical debt that tied up most of its capacity. Introduced agile principles and ways of working in the IT organization and transformed the traditionally structured IT department into cross-functional Scrum and Kanban teams focused on transparency, collaboration, and customer value delivery.
Redesigned the entire IT organization by establishing a modern operating model, introducing new roles such as Product Owner, Scrum Master and Solution Architect and strengthening the organization through strategic hiring and targeted capability development. Recruited and onboarded Agile Coaches to accelerate the transformation and personally managed and coached Scrum Masters as well as IT department leaders to foster servant leadership, self-management and a culture of continuous improvement.
Aligned IT-internal planning across eight teams to three Flight Levels based on Klaus Leopold (strategy, coordination, team), laying the foundation for later company-wide portfolio management. Consolidated the backlog of more than 10 workstreams and prioritized it by business value and cost of delay. Introduced a ticketing system to increase transparency and enable data-driven decision-making, flow-based work management, and greater accountability at all levels.
Established and supported multiple cross-functional teams, including the Operational Core (ERP) domain with dedicated streams for Support, Feature Development and ERP Migration, as well as teams responsible for Warehouse Operations, Maintenance & Operations (M&O) including system engineering and security, Modern Workplace, Data Quality and integration initiatives. Worked closely with Agile Coaches to support team development, remove impediments, and continuously improve delivery effectiveness.
Acted as Interim Product Owner for the operation and enhancement of the existing ERP landscape while supporting the ERP migration as a Project Manager. Reorganized the project organization and had the already negotiated contract with the implementation partner realigned with a focus on approach and overall responsibility; Phase 1 (financial accounting) has been live since October 2025. Collaborated with the selected implementation partner to design and establish the project organization and target operating model for the ERP transformation, introducing agile delivery structures and ways of working. Facilitated the alignment between business, IT and the external vendor and played a key role in negotiating the contractual framework and delivery model to ensure a sustainable foundation for the transformation program.
Initiated the strategic modernization of the workplace environment through the adoption of Microsoft 365 cloud capabilities, establishing the foundation for enhanced collaboration, scalability and future digital services.
Launched AI initiatives to identify practical business use cases and promote the responsible adoption of Artificial Intelligence across the IT department. Encouraged self-management and empowered teams to take ownership of decisions, delivery and continuous improvement.

About the technology
Project workspace
Basecamp is a project management and team communication workspace from 37signals. It brings message boards, to-dos, schedules, documents, files, chat and automatic check-ins into one project area. Companies use it to replace scattered email threads and make responsibilities, decisions and deadlines easier to follow.
Practical use cases
Basecamp suits agencies, consultancies, creative teams, product groups and internal operations teams that need a clear home for ongoing work. Typical projects include client delivery, campaign planning, website launches, editorial production and recurring service coordination.
- Set up project spaces with clear ownership and access
- Structure to-dos, milestones, files and project discussions
- Create repeatable workflows for client or internal work
- Improve handovers through schedules and documented decisions
Ecosystem and setup
Strong specialists configure Basecamp around the way a company actually works rather than forcing a generic process. They work with Basecamp features such as Hill Charts, Card Tables, Message Boards, Campfires, Pings and automatic check-ins, while connecting calendars, storage, forms or reporting tools through integrations and automation. They also define naming conventions, templates, permissions and notification rules.
When expertise helps
Companies often bring in freelance Basecamp professionals during a rollout, a workspace redesign or a move away from fragmented collaboration tools. Support is also useful when projects feel overloaded, teams miss handovers or clients cannot see the information they need. In Germany, a specialist may help align remote teams, on-site groups and client communication across different working styles.
- Map existing processes before configuring projects
- Migrate active work and useful documents with minimal disruption
- Build templates for recurring engagements
- Train teams on simple, consistent routines
What strong professionals deliver
A capable Basecamp expert combines workspace configuration with project operations, facilitation and clear writing. They know when to use a message board instead of chat, how to keep to-do lists actionable and how to make schedules useful without creating administrative work. They can document decisions, guide adoption and adapt workflows after feedback from real users.
Choosing the right specialist
Look for evidence of structured Basecamp rollouts, thoughtful templates and measurable improvements in communication, not just familiarity with the interface. Ask how the specialist handles permissions, archive practices, integrations, migration and stakeholder training. For remote work, check whether they can run focused workshops, communicate clearly in the required language and leave behind documentation your team can maintain.
Frequently asked questions
Key details about Basecamp, drawn from the questions we get asked most.
Basecamp is used to coordinate projects, tasks, discussions, schedules, files and team updates in one shared workspace. Companies use it for client delivery, marketing work, creative production, internal operations and other projects that benefit from simple, visible coordination.
Basecamp focuses on an integrated project space with communication and task coordination together, rather than deep task configuration or software delivery tracking. Asana and Trello can offer more specialized task views, while Jira is built around detailed issue and development workflows. The right choice depends on how much process complexity the team needs.
A strong Basecamp specialist often brings project operations, workflow design, facilitation and change enablement. Useful adjacent skills include client collaboration, documentation, calendar and file management, automation, data migration and integration with tools such as Slack, Google Workspace or Microsoft 365.
The required depth depends on the scope. A small workspace setup may need configuration and team guidance, while a larger rollout can require process mapping, migration, permissions, templates, training and adoption support. Ask for examples that match your project type and level of complexity rather than relying on a generic experience label.
Basecamp supports remote collaboration through shared project information, asynchronous updates, discussions and clear task ownership. A specialist working with teams in Germany should be comfortable with remote workshops, local communication expectations and, where needed, German-language documentation or stakeholder sessions.
On-site work can help when a company is changing established routines, consolidating projects or training several groups at once. Basecamp itself can be configured remotely, but in-person workshops may reveal handover problems and informal workarounds that are harder to spot in online meetings.
Review a specialist's approach to discovery, workspace structure, permissions, templates and adoption. A reliable Basecamp freelancer explains trade-offs, keeps project spaces easy to maintain and provides documentation and training instead of simply recreating an existing process inside the tool.
Yes. Basecamp professionals can audit crowded projects, clarify ownership, archive outdated material, simplify notifications and rebuild recurring workflows. They can also connect relevant tools, improve client access and create operating guidelines without disrupting active delivery.
