“Our project has stalled.”
A digitalisation or IT project is not moving forward, responsibilities are unclear, the mood is turning. With an independent audit, we provide clarity – on status, structures and the next steps.
Audit & EfficiencyChange takes more than good plans. We make sure it succeeds.
Janze & Janze supports public-sector and healthcare organisations in digitalisation, organisation and IT – from strategy through to implementation.
Why Janze & Janze
We know both sides of the table.
Advising is easier when you have carried the responsibility yourself.
Our team brings experience from both sides of the table: we have led IT transformations as CIO, built up a city-owned digitalisation subsidiary, founded a GovTech start-up, developed innovation labs for public authorities, run organisations and supported change processes in public administration and healthcare from the inside.
We founded Janze & Janze out of the conviction that consultancy for the public sector has to be different: personal rather than anonymous, honest rather than obliging – and with responsibility for implementation. That experience changes the way we advise: we only recommend what we would be prepared to answer for ourselves, and we stay on board until it is implemented.
More about our journeyStarting points
What brings you to us
Six situations we know well.
“We need a strategy that holds up.”
Digital or IT strategy, target vision, roadmap: we develop strategies together with the people who will put them into practice – so they never remain just a document.
Strategy & Digitalisation“The technology is coming – the organisation isn’t there yet.”
A new software solution, a new procedure, a new workplace – and the question of how staff will come along. We shape change management and communication from the very start.
Organisation & Change“We want to approach the new in a structured way.”
AI, cloud, GovTech, innovation labs: we help turn trending topics into concrete, accountable projects – including procurement and tendering.
Innovation & GovTech“Our infrastructure is reaching its limits.”
Server landscapes that have grown over time, a data centre due for modernisation, open questions around cloud and digital sovereignty: we develop a viable target vision for your IT infrastructure – and support you on the way there.
Strategy & Digitalisation“Our messages aren’t getting through.”
Whether it is a reform, a new procedure or a critical project: without clear communication there is no trust. We develop communication strategies and formats that genuinely reach staff and the public.
Organisation & ChangeServices
What we do
Five fields that interlock.
Strategy & Digitalisation
Digital and IT strategies, CIO advisory, target visions and roadmaps – including cloud, AI and digital sovereignty.
Organisation & Change
Organisational development, change management, change communication, leadership and new ways of working – with diversity as a lived priority.
Implementation & Projects
End-to-end project management: implementation of the OZG (Germany’s Online Access Act) and FIM (Federal Information Management), software roll-outs, interim roles – from requirements through to operations.
Audit & Efficiency
Independent audits, portfolio and value-for-money analyses – so that scarce funds make a difference where it counts.
Innovation & GovTech
Innovation labs, evaluating ideas and technologies, finding and procuring the right solutions – through to innovative tendering.
Our approach
How we work
A small team, plain words, lasting impact.
The people named in the proposal are the people who do the work – no rotating line-ups and no cascade of juniors. We say what we see early on, even when it is uncomfortable. We document our work so that your organisation can carry on without us. And we measure ourselves not by slide decks, but by whether change arrives in everyday practice.
