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 it covers
ISO 50001 is the standard for an energy management system. It helps companies control energy use, track performance, and improve efficiency with a clear process. In Germany, it is often discussed as DIN EN ISO 50001 in manufacturing, logistics, real estate, and public sector operations.
Typical work
- Build or refine an energy management system
- Map energy uses and define key performance indicators
- Prepare documentation for internal and external audits
- Support certification, recertification, and action tracking
Where it fits
Companies bring in freelance specialists when energy data is scattered, sites need a common method, or an audit is coming up. It also helps when teams must connect ISO 50001 with existing processes, metering, maintenance, or sustainability reporting. Remote work is common, but on-site workshops are useful for plant walks and meter checks.
Core skills
Strong professionals know how to turn energy data into practical controls. They understand legal and technical context, but they also write clear procedures and train internal teams. Good ISO 50001 work is precise, calm, and tied to real operating data, not templates alone.
Tools and interfaces
ISO 50001 experts often work with energy dashboards, spreadsheet models, metering systems, audit checklists, and document control tools. They usually coordinate with facilities, production, procurement, and quality teams. In Germany, they may also need to align with German-language documentation and local audit expectations.
How projects succeed
The best results come from experts who can connect daily operations with the standard’s requirements. They define baselines, spot waste, track improvement actions, and keep the system usable after the audit. Whether the project is a first rollout or a cleanup of an existing DIN EN ISO 50001 setup, the work should be practical and measurable.
Frequently asked questions
Questions about ISO 50001? Start with the answers below.
ISO 50001 is used to build an energy management system that helps a company control energy use and improve performance over time. It gives teams a structured way to measure consumption, set targets, and follow up on actions. Many firms use it to support internal efficiency goals and external certification at the same time.
ISO 50001 is the international standard, while DIN EN ISO 50001 is the German adoption of the same standard. In practice, the requirements are aligned, but German documents and audit language often use the DIN EN form. That is why searches in Germany may use either term.
A strong ISO 50001 specialist should know energy management, audit preparation, and how to turn data into clear actions. Look for someone who can work with metering, documentation, and cross-functional teams without creating unnecessary complexity. Practical experience with sites, plants, or multi-location operations is a plus.
ISO 50001 work often sits next to energy data analysis, internal auditing, documentation control, and process improvement. Depending on the company, knowledge of facilities, production systems, or sustainability reporting can also help. In Germany, German-language reporting and stakeholder communication are often important as well.
The right ISO 50001 profile depends on the stage of the project. A fresh rollout needs someone who can design the system and guide adoption, while an existing setup may only need cleanup before an audit. For complex sites, you want a specialist who has already handled similar operational settings.
ISO 50001 projects usually work best as a mix of remote and on-site collaboration. Remote work fits documentation, data review, and meeting prep, while on-site time helps with plant tours, meter checks, and discussions with operations. In Germany, many companies prefer this blended setup.
A good ISO 50001 freelancer produces clear, usable outputs: a coherent energy review, clean records, realistic action plans, and audit-ready documentation. They should explain trade-offs in plain language and show how each measure links to energy performance. If they only talk about the standard and not the operating reality, that is a warning sign.
ISO 50001 is often compared with general sustainability programs, internal energy audits, or broader management standards. Those can support efficiency work, but they do not give the same structured energy management framework. If certification and ongoing control matter, ISO 50001 is usually the more focused choice.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used ISO 50001 in their recent projects is 128 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 1,023 € based on an 8-hour working day.
Of the freelancers in Germany who have used ISO 50001 in their recent projects, 91% hold at least a Bachelor's degree, 36% hold at least a Master's degree, and 9% hold a doctorate.
On average, freelancers in Germany who have used ISO 50001 in their recent projects have 27 years of professional experience, with a single engagement typically lasting around 3.5 years.
The most common languages among freelancers in Germany who have used ISO 50001 in their recent projects are German (100%), English (96%), and French (32%).
The most common industries among freelancers in Germany who have used ISO 50001 in their recent projects are Manufacturing (84%), Professional Services (76%), and Automotive (60%).
