The Digital Roadmap
a contemporary orientation for the healthcare and social economy.
Captains on the high seas know that to reach their destination safely, they need a reliable compass and accurate nautical charts. In business, it's no different. Companies need dependable information and a solid plan to shape their strategy for the future.
The Digital Roadmap serves as a guiding tool that helps businesses understand what to expect in terms of digitalization, technologies, and market developments. It is a customized strategic roadmap tailored to the specific needs of each company. This allows organizations to identify challenges, opportunities, and changes well before they occur.

The term "roadmap" in English literally means a street map. You want to get from one point to another but don’t know how? A look at the map brings clarity!
A roadmap for companies works in the same way — it outlines both a starting point and a destination.
The journey from start to finish often takes several years, and it’s common to make stopovers or reach intermediate goals along the way. The roadmap reflects this structure.
Step by step, it illustrates which milestones need to be achieved in sequence in order to ultimately reach the main objective.
What’s essential is clearly defining the goals and setting a realistic timeline for achieving them — after all, you can’t drive from New York to Los Angeles in a single day.

The goal and strategic direction are developed jointly with the project team.
All relevant target groups are involved in defining the goals and content of the roadmap. Experts from science and research contribute the latest findings.
All collected data is analyzed. The sensitivity analysis identifies key influencing factors and helps prioritize them. Scenario development supports risk mitigation, opportunity identification, and the creation of strategies that can succeed in various future contexts.
The consolidated results from the sensitivity analysis and scenario development flow into the final Digital Roadmap, which is then presented to the project team.

Why a Digital Roadmap Is So Important
for the Social Sector
The social sector has industry-specific goals, values, and challenges that are unique — and these are reflected in the needs of the people it serves. A human-centered approach is therefore essential when developing a strategic roadmap.
Given the rapidly changing and complex conditions, organizations must be prepared for continuous transformation and capable of acting with flexibility. Technologies that were once groundbreaking are constantly being replaced by better and faster alternatives. Developing a Digital Roadmap ensures a long-term, structured approach to managing this change.
