(07231) 28-6691Peter Weiß is Professor of Business Information Systems with a focus on digital business at Pforzheim University, as well as program director of the Master Information Systems (M.Sc.). He is also engaged in professional training at the Academy at Pforzheim University (AHP) leading the study program “Digital Transformation” and as head of the study program “Digital Transformation Manager”, which is offered as a Diploma of Advanced Studies (DAS) for practitioners. Since 2001, Professor Weiß has been acting as external expert for the European Commission (Framework Programs) and REA (European Research Executive Agency). He is member of the DIN Working Group on Competences in ICT (NA 043-02-02 AA) and nominated expert for technical comittee at CEN, namely CEN/TC 428 Digital Competences and ICT Professionalism. In 2014, he founded his own management consulting company, Weiss4, and supported large corporations during digital transformation endeavours and with developing elaborated digital strategies. From 2015 to 2016, he acted as external advisor to the executive board and CIO for a large corporation in Hamburg. He has gathered proficiency and profound experience in development and innovation processes in the context of digital transformation and IT strategy projects. Peter Weiß is a recognized expert for digital transformation and digital strategies.
Peter Weiß acquired profound experience in digital business and related service-oriented strategies, service management and engineering, digital service innovation, software engineering and project management. Since November 2011, he has been working regularly as an external expert and project advisor (for example as evaluator, reviewer, and rapporteur) for the European Commission Services, Cedefop, and CEN. His work included the regular monitoring and evaluation of running multinational research and innovation projects within the Framework Programs funded by the European Commission since 1997, with a focus on IT innovations and digital transformation, such as innovation management, smart manufacturing, cloud computing, and big data. His research focus lies on digital transformation and digital business strategies, as well as activities related to Service Dominant Architecture (SDA). SDA is a framework and solution designed in 2015. It builds on existing enterprise information systems and introduces new IT infrastructure capabilities based on S-D logic (Service-Dominant) on top of an existing IT infrastructure. In this way, SDA combines stability (high level of integration; systems of record) with flexibility and strategic agility (systems of engagement). The latter requires to implement platform-oriented IT capabilities. Since 2002, Peter Weiß has acted as an independent expert and project advisor on invitation of the European Commission and REA (Executive Agency for Research in Brussels).
Since October 2018, Peter Weiß and his research team conduct research on digital transformation in the joint research project TrueCultureDig (funded by the federal ministry of research (BMBF)). He supports and advises the executive boards of production-oriented companies (SMEs) on how they can actively shape and drive digital change and strategy. Since 2009, Peter Weiß acts as an active member and advisor for industrial associations such as eClass — the leading international classification standard — and liaises actively with other national and international industrial and professional associations such as AFSMI, ISSIP, CEPIS, BME, and others, as well as with standardization bodies (such as CEN, DIN, etc.) in the field of information technology, service innovation, and service management.
