Impactful Policy Frameworks
EU AI Act (2024)
The European Union AI Act is a comprehensive regulatory framework for artificial intelligence, classifying AI systems by risk level and imposing varying requirements, including transparency and human oversight.
The EU AI Act will directly impact how AI tools are developed and deployed in consulting, potentially increasing compliance costs but also building trust in AI-driven solutions for Lean Scaleup's corporate clients.
Digital Markets Act (DMA) & Digital Services Act (DSA) (2022)
The DMA aims to ensure fair and contestable digital markets by regulating large online platforms ('gatekeepers'), while the DSA focuses on content moderation and user safety.
These acts will influence the digital strategies and innovation pathways of large corporations, creating new consulting needs for Lean Scaleup in navigating platform ecosystems and digital business models.
German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG) (2023)
The German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act mandates that companies of a certain size (and their German subsidiaries) establish due diligence processes to identify and address human rights and environmental risks in their supply chains.
This act creates a new area of compliance and strategic re-evaluation for large German corporations, presenting an opportunity for Lean Scaleup to consult on sustainable business building and supply chain innovation.
