Harald Kirsch
Last position:
Lecturer - Business Informatics & Business Administration at Fachhochschule des Mittelstands (FHM)
As part of my work, I focus on three key areas that are essential for the innovation and future viability of business and society: business start-ups, digitalization and automation, and career planning and personal development.
One focus is on the challenges and opportunities of starting a business—especially academic start-ups as drivers of regional and national innovation. I teach skills for the entire start-up process: from idea creation and building viable business models to managing and scaling a company.
The topic of digitalization and automation covers technical, economic, and social dimensions. It includes basics of digitalization, automation technologies, IIoT and smart manufacturing, software and IT infrastructures, and application areas in various industries. I also analyze human-machine interaction, economic impacts, and future trends that have a lasting effect on companies.
In the area of career planning and personal development, I support future specialists and managers in developing their personal strengths, recognizing their entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial potential, and designing an individual market and career strategy. Topics such as personal branding, personal marketing, and strategic career planning are key to fostering long-term professional direction and proactive action.

About the technology
What Green IT means
Green IT is the practice of planning, running, and retiring technology with lower energy use and less waste. It covers hardware, cloud, software, and workplace devices. Companies use it to cut emissions, reduce cost pressure, and make IT operations more sustainable.
Typical work
- Cloud and infrastructure footprint reviews
- Data center energy and cooling improvements
- Sustainable device and asset lifecycle planning
- Software efficiency checks for apps and services
- Reporting for ESG and internal sustainability goals
Skills that matter
Strong Green IT specialists understand systems, operations, and sustainability at the same time. They know how to read power and utilization data, spot waste, and choose practical changes that do not slow delivery. Familiarity with sustainable IT, green computing, and ESG reporting helps them work across teams.
Tooling and methods
The work often sits around monitoring, cloud cost and usage tools, device management, lifecycle tracking, and reporting dashboards. It also includes architecture reviews, procurement guidelines, and standards such as ISO 14001 or the Green Software Foundation approach. Good experts turn these inputs into clear actions.
When companies bring in freelancers
Companies usually need outside help when internal teams want a faster assessment, a second opinion, or support for a specific initiative. That can mean cloud rightsizing, greener workplace rollout, vendor selection, or preparing an IT sustainability roadmap. In Germany, this often works well with remote collaboration, while workshops and audits can be done on-site.
What strong experts deliver
A strong Green IT professional gives concrete recommendations, not general advice. They connect technical choices to energy, lifecycle, and governance goals, and they explain trade-offs in plain language. For a company, that means actions that can be tracked, repeated, and scaled across the IT landscape.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to the questions that come up most around Green IT.
Green IT is used to make technology operations less resource-heavy. That includes energy-efficient infrastructure, longer device lifecycles, cleaner cloud usage, and software that wastes fewer compute resources. The goal is practical: lower impact without losing performance or reliability.
Green IT and green computing are closely related terms, and many people use them in the same conversation. Green computing usually points more directly to efficient hardware, software, and power use, while Green IT can also include governance, procurement, and reporting. In searches, you may also see sustainable IT.
A Green IT specialist is often brought in for cloud footprint reviews, device refresh planning, data center optimization, or IT sustainability policies. Some projects are technical, such as rightsizing workloads or reducing idle resources. Others are organizational, such as defining standards for greener procurement.
A strong Green IT expert usually combines infrastructure knowledge with cloud operations, asset management, and sustainability reporting. Experience with lifecycle management, vendor evaluation, and basic ESG language helps a lot. If software is in scope, understanding application efficiency and observability is valuable too.
Most Green IT projects need someone who has already worked on real systems, not just sustainability theory. A simple assessment may need one specialist, while a broader program may benefit from someone who can work across infrastructure, workplace, and governance. The right depth depends on how technical the scope is.
Green IT builds on normal IT operations, but it adds a sustainability lens to every decision. Instead of only asking what works, the team also asks what uses fewer resources over time. That can change choices around architecture, procurement, refresh cycles, and hosting models.
Yes, many Green IT tasks can be handled remotely, especially analysis, documentation, policy work, and cloud footprint reviews. On-site work is useful when a project needs device audits, data center walkthroughs, or workshops with local stakeholders in Germany. A good specialist can support both modes.
Look for clear recommendations, measurable priorities, and a good grasp of trade-offs. A strong Green IT professional can explain where impact comes from, what can be changed quickly, and what needs coordination across teams. If the person can connect technical details to business and sustainability goals, that is a strong sign.
