The Governance Challenge

Immediate Governance for Strategic Digital Assets and AI

Product, software, and AI development have become strategic assets that directly determine a company’s future competitiveness. Yet most boards lack a structured governance framework to evaluate, monitor, and guide product transformation at the level required by their fiduciary responsibilities.

Without a disciplined governance approach to product and AI transformation, boards risk making strategic decisions without sufficient visibility into execution capability, transformation readiness, and business-model resilience.

Establish governance for product transformation within days. Seerene provides boards with immediate, objective governance over product, software, and AI development—enabling informed oversight of the capabilities that will define the next generation of business models.

Before the first baseline exists, the order of magnitude is already estimable. Adjust the parameters to your organization to see the scale of capacity boards are now expected to oversee and the value that disciplined governance can recover.

Indicative Capacity Baseline — Typical Range

What scale of value is absorbed by ungoverned software production?

Number of developers 1,000
Avg. fully-loaded cost per developer (€k / year) €120k
Total annual engineering investment€120M
Capacity absorbed by friction (60%)€72M
Conservative recovery potential (25%)€18M
Equivalent capacity gain+250 FTE

The Board Agenda

Seerene provides the C-suite and supervisory boards with clear answers to some of the most critical questions:

01

How can directors fulfill their oversight responsibilities when software production remains difficult to assess objectively?

02

Is the current business model still sustainable in an AI-driven market?

03

Is the organization's product, software, and AI development capability strong enough to enable a successful transition to future business models?

04

How can the board effectively oversee and guide this transformation?

#1
Academic origin

Hasso Plattner InstituteSeerene originated from research at the Hasso Plattner Institute (HPI). Founder Dr. Johannes Bohnet developed the methodology through academic research rather than commercial consulting practice.

#2
Enterprise-proven

Seerene is used by international corporations to create measurable value. Leading audit and advisory firms use Seerene as an independent governance layer in client engagements.

#3
Evidence over opinion

Based on the organization’s own data. Full transparency: enterprise-wide, by division, and down to individual teams. All measured in tangible business terms: time, capacity, cost, improvement, and deterioration. Clear visibility into where value is created and where it is lost.

Software Excellence Network

Where senior leaders shape the future of software governance.

Senior executives from Bosch, Microsoft, KfW, Continental, SAP, and comparable enterprises convene to advance software production governance as a board-level capability. Building on this network, a dedicated council is being established to institutionalize the engagement of supervisory board members and leading audit professionals in shaping governance standards for software production. The initiative is hosted in collaboration with the Hasso Plattner Institute. Participation is by invitation only.
