🧠 Case Study: AI Transformation in SMEs

How RSBG SE empowers over 80 companies for the future with meinGPT

🚀 Introduction: Why the AI Transformation is crucial for SMEs right now

The AI Transformation is no longer optional – it is a key factor for securing the future and maintaining competitiveness. According to Bitkom, 78% of German companies plan to increase their investments in artificial intelligence (AI) in the coming years. In particular, medium-sized holdings face unique challenges:

Diverse levels of digitization within the corporate group
Complex data protection and compliance requirements
Skepticism among the workforce combined with a lack of know-how
Missing strategic roadmaps for scalable AI integration

The RSBG SE – a corporate holding with over 80 subsidiaries – decided to systematically address these challenges. Together with the Munich tech startup SelectCode and its platform meinGPT, a scalable and practical transformation process for SMEs was developed.

🛠️ The Solution: The AI Transformation as a structured and transparent process

SelectCode developed a four-stage roadmap for RSBG SE with meinGPT:

Phase 1: Interactive Workshops for All Levels

The workshop formats were developed based on roles:

HR: Focus on applicant screening, interview automation & employee development

Management: Strategic prioritization of AI initiatives within the group
