What It Is

Sebastian Kaus Data Coaching & Consulting is a data governance and data culture consulting service centered around an individual expert. It is positioned not as SaaS software, but as a service that helps companies make data governance actually work in practice. The website highlights a background spanning engineering, wind power, Head of Data Governance at Vattenfall, Chief Data Officer at GASAG, as well as multiple awards and conference speaking engagements related to data governance and data culture.

Core Capabilities

Its services mainly fall into three categories. The first is Data Governance consulting, covering strategy, frameworks, culture programs, and implementation support. The second is Speaking & Workshops, offering keynotes or interactive workshops around data governance, data culture, gamification, and the CDO role. The third is CDO Sparring, providing executives with a sounding board for data strategy, governance project preparation, and strategic thinking. Methodologically, it emphasizes “people before processes,” “combining technology with practice,” and “making value visible,” while also highlighting gamification as a way to improve acceptance of data governance.

Pricing and Delivery

The website does not disclose standard packages, pricing, payment methods, or delivery timelines. Engagements typically begin with a short introductory conversation, followed by a decision on whether the involvement should take the form of consulting, coaching, strategic sparring, or a speaking engagement. As such, it looks much more like customized expert consulting than a self-service software product.

Pros and Cons

Its strengths are a clear positioning, particularly for regulated industries such as energy and for complex organizations. Its approach does not focus only on rules and processes, but also emphasizes organizational culture, executive support, and participation from business users, which can reduce resistance often seen in traditional data governance projects. The drawbacks are also clear: there is no description of software product capabilities, and key SaaS dimensions such as APIs, integrations, permissions, deployment, and security certifications are missing. Pricing and service boundaries are not transparent, and the team’s delivery capacity and scalability cannot be assessed from the website.

Who It’s For

It is suitable for companies that already have data platforms or governance tools but are facing resistance in organizational adoption, accountability structures, data quality awareness, or executive alignment. It is especially relevant for CDOs, heads of data governance, energy companies, and management teams in regulated industries.
