Summary

I am Stefan Hinz and I support companies in transformation and change efforts at the intersection of technology, organization, and people. My work merges AI consulting, change management, organizational development, and project management into actionable solutions that prove effective in daily operations.

I analyze initial situations and stakeholders, develop viable strategies, and translate them into clear actions, communication, and coordination. I also help organizations identify and secure funding, especially in digitalization, AI, and infrastructure, and ensure a structured implementation across all project phases.

My goal is to reduce complexity, provide guidance, and anchor changes sustainably – data-driven, pragmatic, and focused on people, processes, and results.
