Orhan Erkut and Technology

For Orhan Erkut, technology is more than a field of curiosity; it is an area of command that sets his consulting apart.

This command is not an interest acquired late; it is the result of a body of experience that began early, spread across decades, and is now carried to the consulting table.

His first contact with technology came during his primary-school years, through the Vestel Goldstar MSX his family bought; that computer introduced him early on both to games and to programming languages such as Basic and Fortran. That early contact was also the beginning of the technical intuition he would later bring to his profession. Discovering the internet during his university years deepened this interest; as the internet became widespread in the late 1990s, he began using technology actively in both his work and his daily life. Founding a technology company in 2010 was a concrete sign of his desire to stay within this field; while running the company, he reinforced his ability to speak the same language as technology and project teams.

Today, this experience has turned into the profile of a consultant who can read and understand companies' technology processes, is well-versed in data and software concepts, and can speak the same language as technical teams — from hardware and network infrastructure to system design and on to artificial-intelligence applications. He does not merely follow current developments in AI; he actively brings them into his own way of working and his consulting practice.

The real value of this capability shows itself at the consulting table: especially in transformation and technology projects, he can see at a technical level the difference between a solution that looks right on paper and one that truly works in the field; he positions technology not as an end in itself but as a means tied to the organisation's goals.
