Embedded experts that are effective from day one.
Not after three months of training.
Those who bring external experts into the department often lose exactly what they had hoped for in the first few weeks: Time. Stakeholders have to be explained. IT landscapes have to be opened up. Decision logics need to be understood.
DMG experts don’t work alongside your team – they work within it. What they bring to the table is what has been distilled from over 200 enterprise projects: proven frameworks, decision logics and implementation processes that accelerate your team from day one. Not as a manual. As a lived way of working.
What is possible with the right foundation
Why this costs so much energy without the right foundation
External experts rarely fail in corporations due to a lack of specialist knowledge.
You lose energy in the first few weeks – in places that could be avoided.
Familiarization eats up the head start.
If you don’t know the IT landscape, you make assumptions that later turn out to be wrong. If you don’t know the stakeholders, you talk to the wrong people at the wrong time. This doesn’t cost months – but it does cost weeks that the specialist department doesn’t actually have. DMG provides structured onboarding that significantly shortens this phase because the right questions are already known.
Decisions circulate instead of landing.
External experts without a proven decision-making logic collect requirements and moderate. They do not prioritize. In complex corporate structures – several specialist departments, evolved IT, competing priorities – frameworks are needed that are sustainable internally. Not because the decisions are difficult, but because they have to be justifiable.
The topic is growing and the effort is growing with it.
What begins as a straightforward topic attracts requirements. New stakeholders. An architecture decision that goes beyond the scope of the specialist department. Without backing, this means that everything is left up to the expert or is left undone. DMG is available at these moments – so that it is clear when the embedded team decides on its own and when it calls in reinforcements.
The expert coordinates – but nobody builds.
External experts who are good at structuring but cannot develop themselves create a new bottleneck: the concepts are there, the implementation is waiting for internal or additional external capacity. DMG experts are not coordinators who write tickets – they develop. With the same architecture standards and quality requirements that DMG uses in enterprise projects. What is discussed also comes out.
What the Team Accelerator Engine brings to the table
The engine is not a product. It is what DMG has brought together from over 200 projects – and what every DMG expert brings to your team from day one.
Onboarding framework – structured recording of the IT landscape, stakeholders and ongoing initiatives in the first two weeks. No organic feeling your way in.
Decision frameworks – proven logics for prioritization, scope decisions and make-or-buy in complex corporate structures.
Escalation and backing structure – defined ways of how and when DMG capacity is activated in the background. So that it is clear when the embedded team decides on its own and when it escalates.
KPI and reporting templates – no new infrastructure required. The department head sees progress in a format that can be communicated internally.
DMG network – access to specialists from ongoing and completed DMG projects when a topic requires specific expertise that goes beyond the embedded team.
From the field
Productive 3 months earlier – 40% less coordination effort Retail group – embedded experts – 2024
“We’ve been putting the issue off internally for two years. Not because we didn’t want to – but because no one had the capacity to really push it.”
DMG embedded two experts who recorded the existing system landscape in the first two weeks, involved the relevant stakeholders and presented a prioritization. Not as a presentation – as a basis for decision-making that the department head could represent internally the next day. The reporting format was structured from the outset so that IT and management were on the same page.
Result: operationally productive 3 months earlier than planned internally. 40% less coordination effort thanks to clear decision-making structure from week two.
2 FTEs relieved internally – topic scaled in 6 months Industrial group – embedded experts – 2025
“We knew what we wanted. But every time we built capacity internally, it was immediately pulled back into day-to-day operations.”
DMG set up the embedded team to work with the business from day one – not alongside it. The decision-making frameworks that DMG provided ensured that priorities were clear before the first requirement was formulated. Stakeholders from IT and legal were involved at an early stage – not as obstructionists but as co-creators.
Result: 2 internal FTEs permanently relieved. The topic was developed to such an extent in six months that the department was able to continue it independently.
What customers say
“We didn’t expect anyone from outside to understand how we tick internally so quickly. After three weeks, I wouldn’t have been able to tell whether the DMG experts were with us or not.”
Head of Digital, industrial company, 15,000 employees
“What convinced me was not the concept but the first month. The experts didn’t waste any time finding their feet – they asked the right questions straight away. Questions that we haven’t asked ourselves internally for a long time.”
Head of digitization, insurance group, 20,000 employees
