The Digital Edge (6): At Ørsted CIO Michael Biermann is redefining IT with agile og design thinking

Few inventions have benefitted humankind as much as electricity: Electricity brought light where there had been darkness before. And electricity let us apply incredible forces to tasks that were normally done by muscles, water, or steam.

The challenge is that the traditional production and usage of electricity have not only changed our lives - it also changed our climate.

As a result, we are on the brink of a giant change when it comes to production and usage of energy.

At the large Danish energy conglomerate Ørsted, CIO Michael Biermann is meeting the change with a comprehensive digitalization and a new focus on architecture, agile, and design thinking.

So please join us as Michael Biermann shares the shape of his digital challenge in an energy company with a yearly turnover of almost 12 billion US dollars and business areas that covers offshore wind power and bioenergy.

It is about energy, it’s about technology, and it’s very much about it-management.
