Four steps to your AI strategy

Four steps, one outcome: an AI strategy that fits your business and comes with a clear path into execution.

  1. Analyse the status quo

    We look at processes, data and tools, and talk to the people who work with them every day.

  2. Identify opportunities

    In workshops with leadership and teams we identify AI use cases and score them by value, effort and risk.

  3. Build the roadmap

    We prioritise the strongest use cases and turn them into a roadmap with milestones, owners and governance.

  4. Plan execution

    If you want, we stay on for execution: as a sparring partner for your team or hands-on with our Managed AI Agents.

From strategy to a running system

Your roadmap doesn't end as a slide deck: if you choose, we implement it with Managed AI Agents or in our AI Venture Studio.

Data protection & GDPR

Questions & Answers

Common questions about AI strategy consulting

Who is AI strategy consulting for?
For SMEs and mid-market companies across the DACH region that want to use AI deliberately instead of ad hoc. You don't need prior AI experience – just the willingness to involve leadership and teams in the workshops.
How long does it take?
That depends on the size of your business and how many areas we look at. Compact engagements deliver a finished strategy within a few weeks; we agree the exact scope and schedule in the intro call.
What do we actually get?
A status assessment, a prioritised portfolio of AI use cases and a roadmap with sequencing, owners and governance recommendations. Documents your team can work with directly – not a deck that gathers dust.
Do we need data or AI tools already in place?
No. The assessment meets you where you are, even if your data is scattered and your processes have grown over time. That reality is part of the analysis, and the roadmap accounts for it.
What happens after the strategy?
That's your call. You can execute the roadmap in-house or with any partner you choose – or with us: we build and run AI agents as Managed AI Agents and develop entire digital ventures in our AI Venture Studio.
