Strategy that gets built

I build solutions that actually get used.

16 years at the intersection of technology and people. I develop strategy, training and digital tools — and build them myself, today with AI, until they land in everyday work. No more concepts that disappear in a drawer.

What I can do for you

Sustainable change doesn't come from tools alone, but from the right combination of strategy, competence, and culture.

01

Guiding change & transformation

Strategically plan change processes, facilitate workshops, and bring people along — from the target vision to adoption in daily work. For corporations, the public sector, and the Mittelstand.

02

Building tools & enablement

I build the tools that carry the change: internal tools, automations, knowledge management, and trainings — AI-powered, in weeks not months. I don't just advise, I deliver.

03

Strategy, pricing & go-to-market

Business model, pricing, website, and prototype — prepared decision-ready, so strategy turns into market readiness fast. Especially for software and growth companies.

How I work

From idea to a solution that lives

A clear path — from the first analysis to ongoing support.

  1. 01

    Understand

    Analysis of the situation, the target vision, and the people who carry the change.

  2. 02

    Strategy

    Concept, business or target model, and a clear, prioritized roadmap.

  3. 03

    Build

    I build the solution — website, tool, automation — AI-powered, in weeks.

  4. 04

    Go-live & enablement

    Rollout with training, handover, and adoption — so it's actually used.

  5. 05

    Ongoing support

    Further development, optimization, and support as requirements evolve.

About me

I'm Julian Kantus — and I fill a gap that stays open in many projects: between strategy and technology, between the concept and the people who are meant to use it.

I started out as a musician — film scores, building things creatively. For 16 years I've worked in training, L&D and change: five years at Apple, four at Mercedes-Benz Consulting, three as a Digital Learning Manager at Babor, plus trainings for clients like Hyundai, Genesis and PwC. Today I guide transformation — at DocMorris and, via bkp, in the public sector — and build the solutions myself.

That multi-layeredness is my edge: I'm not just a technologist, not just a trainer, not just a change manager — I translate between all of them and make sure something stands at the end that actually gets used. Corporation or small business: the human dynamics are often the same.

Built — and actually used

Four projects, from a corporation to my own company. What matters isn't that I built something — it's that it lands in everyday work.

Lianne.shop Lianne GmbH · Co-founder

From standard shop to a custom AI platform

At Lianne I'm a co-founder, responsible for technology and business strategy. I turned standard Shopify into a custom, legally compliant platform: a course-booking system, a knitting-set configurator, the AI customer chat „Ask Lisa“, SEO and EU-law compliance. The booking system now also runs as a product for a second client.

DocMorris · Customer Excellence

An internal tool instead of third-party software — including rollout

As project lead in the Customer Excellence division of the online pharmacy DocMorris, I built a custom workforce-management tool replacing the previous third-party software, a SCORM e-learning for team leads, and a daily performance dashboard for customer service and order management — with works council, data protection, and change rollout.

Lemon · B2B software

A new website and business model — plus go-to-market

For the learning platform Lemon, I set up the website relaunch together with a new business model — from concept to a decision brief for management. I'm currently also helping shape the go-to-market strategy for a new learning product for SMEs and building its sales funnel and website.

public sector
bkp GmbH · Change / public sector

Change facilitation that puts AI to practical use

For bkp, I prepare change-management proposals and pitch materials for savings banks, municipal utilities, state ministries, and mid-sized to large private-sector companies — and build purpose-built AI agents for them, e.g. to prepare strategy workshops.
