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
Energy management standard
ISO 50001 is the international standard for energy management systems. It gives organizations a structured way to measure energy use, set targets, improve performance and maintain continual improvement. The standard applies across manufacturing, logistics, real estate, healthcare and public services.
What it enables
An ISO 50001 system connects energy policy with operational decisions. It helps teams identify significant energy uses, define baselines, monitor indicators and prioritize improvement actions. The work can support certification, stronger reporting and more consistent control of energy costs and consumption.
- Establish an energy review and energy baseline
- Define energy performance indicators and objectives
- Plan corrective actions and improvement projects
- Prepare evidence for certification and surveillance audits
Ecosystem and tools
Professionals work with meter data, submetering, building management systems and industrial control environments. Common deliverables include energy reviews, process maps, documented procedures, audit evidence, action registers and management review materials. Expertise in Excel, energy monitoring software, data visualization and measurement planning is often useful.
When companies need help
Companies often bring in freelance specialists before initial certification, during a transition to a new energy management process or when internal teams lack time for audit preparation. Germany-based organizations may also need practical on-site collaboration with production, facilities or maintenance teams, while data analysis and documentation can often be handled remotely.
- Certification scope has changed or expanded
- Energy data is incomplete, inconsistent or hard to interpret
- Audit findings require a structured response
- Sites need one consistent energy management approach
Strong specialist profile
Strong ISO 50001 professionals understand both the standard and the processes behind the data. They can translate energy performance indicators into actions for plant, building and procurement teams, while keeping evidence clear and auditable. Experience with German-language documentation, local site routines and cross-functional workshops can add value for projects in Germany.
Selecting the right expert
Review examples of energy reviews, baselines, objectives, audit preparation and improvement tracking rather than relying on certification knowledge alone. Ask how the specialist validates meter data, handles significant energy uses and involves responsible teams. The best fit combines structured documentation with enough operational understanding to make the system work after the project ends.
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 helps an organization understand energy use, set measurable objectives, manage significant energy uses and demonstrate continual improvement.
ISO 50001 focuses specifically on energy performance and energy management. ISO 14001 covers broader environmental management, so organizations may use both standards when energy is one part of a wider environmental program.
A strong ISO 50001 specialist often combines audit preparation with energy data analysis, metering concepts, process mapping and improvement planning. Knowledge of building services, industrial systems, procurement and management reporting can also be valuable.
The right level depends on the scope, number of sites and maturity of the existing energy system. A focused documentation review may need a different profile from a complex industrial implementation involving production data, on-site workshops and certification preparation.
Much of the ISO 50001 work can be completed remotely, including document reviews, data analysis, indicator design and audit evidence preparation. Site visits are still useful for validating energy uses, interviewing operational teams and checking whether documented processes reflect real conditions.
An ISO 50001 freelancer should clarify the certification scope, assess the current system and produce a practical work plan. They should also explain assumptions, identify missing evidence and leave internal teams with processes they can maintain.
Ask for concrete examples of energy reviews, baselines, performance indicators, corrective actions and audit preparation. Quality is shown by clear reasoning, traceable data and improvement measures that match the organization’s actual operations, not by polished documentation alone.
For ISO 50001 work in Germany, German-language documentation and communication with site teams may be important, especially in production and facilities environments. English can support international reporting, while the specialist should be comfortable combining remote coordination with structured on-site workshops.
