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
What Sketch does
Sketch is a macOS-based design application for creating digital product interfaces, prototypes and visual systems. Teams use it to shape web pages, mobile screens and responsive journeys before implementation. Its vector workflow keeps layouts, symbols and interface elements easy to refine.
Core deliverables
Sketch experts turn early product ideas into structured, reviewable design work. Typical deliverables include:
- User flows and low- to high-fidelity interface layouts
- Clickable prototypes for product validation
- Reusable symbols, text styles and shared libraries
- Handoff-ready specifications for implementation teams
Ecosystem and workflow
Sketch includes artboards, components, shared styles, prototyping and collaborative workspaces. Strong specialists also work with libraries, version history, design tokens and accessibility checks. They may connect Sketch with tools such as Abstract, Zeplin, InVision or project documentation systems, depending on the team’s process.
When companies need help
Freelance expertise is useful when an internal team needs to establish a new interface system, modernize screens or prepare a product for development. It can also support a redesign, a mobile expansion or a structured handoff before a release. In Germany, teams often combine remote collaboration with workshops at an office when product decisions require close alignment.
Skills beyond the file
The strongest Sketch professionals understand more than layers and artboards. They bring knowledge of interaction patterns, responsive behavior, information architecture and accessibility. They can explain design decisions, keep libraries consistent and translate product requirements into practical interface solutions.
Choosing the right specialist
Look for a portfolio that shows complete flows rather than isolated screens. Ask how the professional organizes symbols, naming conventions, libraries and handoff notes. Useful signs include clear rationale, thoughtful prototype behavior and experience collaborating with product and implementation teams. Language expectations should be agreed early, especially for distributed German and international teams.
Frequently asked questions
What clients ask us most about Sketch — answered in short.
Sketch is used to design interfaces for websites, mobile products and other digital experiences. Companies also use it to build clickable prototypes, document visual rules and prepare assets and specifications for implementation.
Sketch is closely associated with a focused macOS workflow and strong native interface design features. Figma runs in the browser and is often chosen for broad real-time collaboration, so the better option depends on team setup, collaboration needs and existing files.
A strong Sketch specialist usually understands interaction design, responsive layouts, accessibility and information architecture. Knowledge of prototyping, design systems, user research and handoff tools can also make collaboration with product and implementation teams smoother.
The required level depends on the work. A focused screen update may need a specialist who can work within an existing library, while a product redesign or design system requires deeper experience with structure, prototyping and cross-team decisions.
Yes. Sketch projects can be handled remotely through shared workspaces, regular reviews and documented decisions. Teams in Germany should agree on working hours, workshop expectations and whether communication should take place in German, English or both.
Look for complete user journeys, not only attractive individual screens. A capable Sketch professional should show clear hierarchy, reusable components, sensible responsive behavior and evidence of decisions made with product and implementation teams.
Yes, Sketch supports reusable symbols, shared styles, libraries and component-based workflows. A specialist can structure these elements so multiple products or teams maintain consistent interfaces while still allowing controlled variation.
An effective Sketch freelancer works methodically, communicates trade-offs and keeps files understandable for others. They connect interface decisions to user needs, validate important flows with prototypes and provide practical handoff material instead of treating the design file as the final deliverable.
