limited information. That’s exactly how I approach business challenges as well.” Opting for a leadership style defined by strategic clarity, direct communication, and empowerment, Sebastian believes in leading by example, setting clear goals, and ensuring that each member of the team is in complete understanding of one another. To Sebastian, leadership is not about maintaining control but about setting direction, removing obstacles, and enabling people to excel. He strives to ensure that everyone at Y-Core Consulting understands why the consultancy exists: to bridge the gap between technology and business leadership, turning digital transformation into true competitive advantage. To ensure the sustained success of every project it undertakes, Sebastian tells us that Y-Core Consulting takes a strategic approach to digital transformation. Each engagement begins with developing a deep understanding of the business context, as business goals should always be considered before technology. The team begins by identifying the core objectives and challenges of its clients before considering technological solutions, then assesses the client’s existing IT landscape to uncover gaps and opportunities for improvement. Finally, the company develops a clear, phased AI and digital transformation roadmap to ensure a smooth transition with measurable impact and minimal disruption. “Many digital transformation projects fail due to poor execution,” Sebastian explains. “To prevent this, we establish clear governance and milestones, ensuring that every project follows a structured approach with measurable progress at each stage. We bridge the gap between business and IT, fostering cross-team collaboration to eliminate misalignment. Our iterative approach allows for continuous feedback and quick adjustments, reducing risks and avoiding costly, large-scale overhauls. Ultimately, our success is not just in delivering technology but in ensuring businesses achieve tangible impact from their digital investments.” To Sebastian and the team at Y-Core Consulting, digitalisation is not a daunting obstacle but a massive opportunity for growth and development. While many digitalisation discussions focus on the risks, the reality is that companies embracing the transformation today will gain a significant competitive edge; acting now will position these companies as industry leaders. “We don’t just help companies keep up with change; we ensure they move ahead in this digital era. Our guiding principle is clear: Transform today, win tomorrow – with a clear strategy and future-proof technology,” Sebastian adds. Moving forward, Sebastian tells us that Y-Core Consulting aims to continue driving success and innovation throughout 2025. This year is set to be one of expansion and deeper impact, as Y-Core Consulting has successfully established itself as a trusted partner in digital transformation and now seeks to scale and develop new ways to support companies in their transformation journeys. One of the company’s key goals is to move beyond pure consulting and develop digital products that can help businesses in accelerating their transformations. To achieve this, Y-Core Consulting will create AI-driven frameworks and enterprise architecture blueprints, allowing companies to implement best practices more efficiently. This approach will enable the company to increase its impact while maintaining the high quality of work for which it has become renowned. Alongside this, Y-Core Consulting will also be guiding companies in embedding AI into customer interactions, automation, and data-driven decision-making to ensure that they gain a real competitive advantage amidst the AI revolution reshaping the industry. Beyond consulting work, the company will also be expanding its thought leadership activities. In collaboration with Studio 5 in Magdeburg, which was founded by Sebastian and his business partner Sebastian Gauck, Y-Core Consulting will be expanding its YouTube Business Coaching Initiative. This initiative enables Sebastian and the team to help entrepreneurs and decision-makers successfully navigate digital transformation with digital-first business strategies and unparalleled knowledge sharing. Ultimately, 2025 is about scaling business for Y-Core Consulting. The company will remain dedicated to not only helping companies navigate digital transformation but actively shaping how AI, enterprise architecture, and new work models define business success in the years to come. On a more personal note, we learn that Sebastian has an equally exciting year ahead of him. “Success isn’t just about business – it’s about personal growth, meaningful experiences, and balance,” he states. “My career has always been driven by curiosity and challenges, but my private life plays just as big a role in shaping who I am and how I lead. Beyond business, my biggest priority is family. I have a 10-year-old son and a 2.5-year-old daughter and watching them grow is one of my greatest joys. I want to be present, support them, and give them the tools to navigate an ever-changing world. Being there for them is just as fulfilling as any professional success. “Looking ahead, 2025 will be a year of professional growth and personal fulfilment. It’s about scaling Y-Core Consulting, deepening my impact in AI, but also embracing adventure, learning, and time with the people who matter most.”
