Harald K.
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
Purpose and scope
ISO 50001 is the international standard for energy management systems. It helps organisations create a structured process for improving energy performance, reducing waste and supporting energy-related objectives. The standard applies across manufacturing, buildings, transport, public services and other energy-intensive operations.
Core system
An ISO 50001 system links leadership, energy policy, planning, operations and continual improvement. Specialists establish an energy review, define relevant energy uses, set energy performance indicators and document actions. They also help assign responsibilities and create evidence that the system is actively maintained.
Data and tooling
Practical work depends on reliable energy data and clear operational controls. Professionals may connect meter data, utility invoices, building management systems, production records and maintenance information. Common supporting tools include energy monitoring dashboards, spreadsheet models, measurement plans and management-system document controls.
- Map energy flows, equipment and significant energy uses
- Define baselines, indicators and measurement methods
- Prepare records for internal and external review
Typical projects
Companies bring in freelance expertise when they are building an energy management system, preparing for certification or extending an existing system to new sites. They may also need focused support after an audit, during a major equipment upgrade or when energy targets are not producing clear operational results.
- Perform a readiness or gap assessment
- Coordinate multi-site implementation
- Train teams on procedures and energy responsibilities
- Support certification audits and corrective actions
Germany in practice
In Germany, ISO 50001 work often spans industrial production, logistics, commercial property, food processing and municipal operations. On-site collaboration can help with plant walk-throughs, meter checks and staff interviews, while remote work suits documentation, data analysis and project coordination. German-language communication may be important for site teams and records.
Strong professionals
The strongest specialists combine standard knowledge with practical understanding of equipment, processes and organisational change. They can distinguish a documented procedure from a working management system, challenge weak data and explain findings to both leadership and operational teams. Look for clear audit evidence, sound measurement logic and experience turning findings into owned actions.
Frequently asked questions
Questions about ISO 50001? Start with the answers below.
ISO 50001 is used to establish and improve an energy management system. It gives an organisation a repeatable framework for reviewing energy use, setting objectives, tracking performance and driving continual improvement across sites or operations.
ISO 50001 focuses specifically on energy performance and energy management, while ISO 14001 covers broader environmental management. The standards can work together, but an ISO 50001 project needs detailed treatment of energy uses, baselines, indicators and measurement.
A strong ISO 50001 professional often combines energy auditing, data analysis, metering, process optimisation and management-system documentation. Knowledge of building systems, industrial equipment, environmental management or occupational safety can also help, depending on the site.
The right level depends on the scope, number of sites, data quality and certification goal. ISO 50001 implementation benefits from a professional who has handled comparable energy uses and can create practical evidence, not only interpret the standard.
ISO 50001 documentation, data review, training and project coordination can often be handled remotely. Site visits are still valuable for validating energy uses, checking measurement arrangements and speaking with operational teams; German-language communication may matter at local facilities.
A company may need an ISO 50001 freelancer when it lacks internal capacity for a gap assessment, system implementation, audit preparation or corrective actions. Freelance support is also useful when a new site, production line or energy monitoring process must be integrated quickly.
A capable ISO 50001 specialist should leave behind a usable energy review, defined indicators and baselines, documented responsibilities, operational controls and an improvement plan. Deliverables should reflect actual site conditions and include evidence that teams can maintain after the engagement.
Ask how the professional would validate significant energy uses, handle incomplete data and connect objectives to operational action. For ISO 50001, quality is shown by practical audit evidence, transparent assumptions and the ability to involve both management and people working directly with energy-consuming processes.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used ISO 50001 in their recent projects is 127 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 1,016 € based on an 8-hour working day.
