Exchange and expand your knowledge.
Speed up your digital journey with research-based insights.We are a community of tech leaders with a common goal: fostering the digital maturity of mid to large-size organizations. Transform your business smarter, better, and faster.
A digital transformation often lacks a clear definition. Many requirements, opinions, stakeholders, an ever-changing technological landscape, and moving business targets interfere with the process.
In our community, you can redefine, enhance, and speed up the transformation process. And, as a plus, you improve your position within your organization.

Our Mission.
Together.
We are tech leaders in enterprises and non-profits, software vendors, and system integrators.
We believe in sharing and strengthening digital knowledge to improve digital maturity and create efficient, resilient, secure, and sustainable organizations. We do this through research and analysis, education and training, and collaboration.
Digital technology makes up an increasing part of the processes in organizations and society and plays an ever-growing critical role. The pace of technological change, shifting market conditions, geopolitical tensions, and changing legal requirements require constant learning and frequent planning updates for transformations that are, in fact, never-ending.
Digital transformations are complicated enough – it is no surprise that they fail often. By analyzing real-world cases, exchanging knowledge, and learning from each other, we can increase their success rate.
The Digital Knowledge Institute invites tech leaders, software makers, and system integrators to work together closely. This way, a smart, robust, secure, and resilient digital landscape can emerge: a prerequisite for a thriving business climate.
Research-based.
Demand-driven.
We conduct community-driven programs for digital decision-makers on various topics based on research by academic scholars. Some programs span three or more years, while others are limited to one year. They typically involve several roundtables or workshops, a survey, and a final paper based on their outcomes and additional, relevant research. Participants have access to these and other publications.
The strength of our approach is its academic foundation, while participants bring real-world knowledge from their business environments.
