About
Martin Stahl
I help organisations make AI work – as organisational change, focused on what creates real value. Combining organisational development, product leadership and hands-on experience in healthcare.
What I bring
AI transformation
Introducing AI as organisational change: strategy, value-based prioritisation of use cases, governance and pilots in everyday clinical practice.
Digital product management
Deep understanding of digital products and disruptive business models in scaleups and hypergrowth environments.
Organisational development
Organisational building, development and strategic business transformations.
Systems thinking
Holistic view on challenges at hand. Hypothesis-based and solution-focused.
eHealth
Domain expertise in telemedical systems, hospitals and the German health system.
Agile way of working
Supporting teams, individuals and business units towards an agile mindset and practices like Scrum, Kanban and Business Agility.
Clarity. Impact. Change.
Clarity
Making sense of complexity before acting – a shared picture of the situation, the goals and the next step.
Impact
Focusing on what creates real value for users, teams and the organisation – not on output.
Change
Change that sticks: shaped together with the people affected, grounded in systems thinking and a solution-focused approach.

Leadership
