Abstract
This contribution examines how organizations—using the German Armed Forces (Bundeswehr) as a case study—manage tensions between legal requirements and digital expectations. Focusing on the administrative sector, it explores how the Bundeswehr reconciles demands for digital efficiency with strict legal compliance. Two key strategies are identified: the creation of experimental spaces for digital innovation and the selective prioritization of legally compatible digital initiatives. The findings highlight the recombination capacity of traditional bureaucratic organisations.
