What Berlin Digital Group does

Berlin Digital Group (legal entity: BDG Innovation+Transformation GmbH & Co. KG) is a Berlin-based management consulting firm specializing in digital transformation, innovation, and strategic advisory services. The firm is led by Managing Partners Prof. Dr. Winfried Graf and Christian Inderthal, together with Partner Gregor Harter, supported by approximately twelve named expert consultants with backgrounds in consulting, energy, banking, healthcare, and media. BDG concentrates its advisory work in three priority verticals — healthcare/HealthTech, energy/NewEnergy, and financial services — and reports that roughly 40% of its project portfolio is with German Mittelstand (mid-market) companies.

The firm's service portfolio spans three layers: (1) the core BDG Innovation + Transformation offering covering business model innovation, venture building, platform strategy, change management, and organizational design; (2) BDG Proven Solutions, a sub-brand that packages 50+ pre-built workshop methodologies and gamification formats (RACI, Persona, Train-the-Trainer, Recruiting-SOS, Restaurantspiel) for SMEs and corporate departments; and (3) a Digital Factory service operated through the dots&bits joint venture, which provides end-to-end IT delivery from MVP to scalable platform via a Lisbon nearshoring lab with 500+ developers. The firm also maintains a separate Lisbon operational presence through this partnership.

BDG operates a project-based, professional services revenue model with quote-based, tailored pricing that is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales plus event-driven engagement, primarily within the DACH region, relying on direct client outreach, referral networks, content marketing through its website, and a LinkedIn presence. The firm holds no disclosed funding, no parent company, and no institutional investors; ownership appears to be partner-led within a GmbH & Co. KG structure.
