How we help

Two families of services. One way of working.

We inspire your people, map where AI belongs, build their capability, prove the use cases worth building, and keep leadership current. For commercial teams, the same logic runs as one productized engine.

AI-Powered Future of Work: Department Scan

How this department works when AI is part of the team, mapped process by process. We tell you exactly where AI belongs and where it doesn't, and show three to five use cases running.

Case film · An engineering firm's 30-day scan, anonymised · Fictional data
For
One team of around 20 people that genuinely wants it
Format
About 6–8 weeks, up to 10 interviews, online or on-site, no system access needed
You get
A process map, the three-tier classification, the Not-Now list, a target operating model and 3–5 working demonstrations
How it works

Four stages, in the order people usually need them.

You can start at any stage, and you don't have to take every one. Each stage ends with something you can see, use or decide on.

The four stages in 70 seconds
01

Inspire and map

See it, then map it

You hold at the end

A plan, or a process-by-process map, with the use cases to focus on and the ones to leave alone

03

Prove and build

Prove it, then build it where it lives

You hold at the end

A demo, an agreed architecture, and the solution running in your environment

For commercial teamsThe same logic, as one engine

A typical pathYour path depends on where you are. The situations below suggest one.
  1. StartFirst weeks

    A keynote to spark it, then the AI Playbook or a Department Scan to map it.

  2. NextOnce the map exists

    The Fluency cohort for the people who'll use it; Use Case Cracking for the strongest use case.

  3. LaterWhen it's worth it

    Building where it's worth it, the Builder cohort so your team builds the next ones, and quarterly updates for leadership.

Not sure which family? Look at who's asking.

Dashboards and reporting for a commercial team are a use case to crack, not a commercial engine.

Add-on to the AI Playbook or the Department Scan

Company Brain / Department Brain

Your scan produces a map. This makes the map a working system your team can ask questions of.

Show detailsHide details
Film · 2:49 · Fictional data

Set up while the AI Playbook or the Department Scan runs, with no custom code: one SharePoint library with a named owner per section, one Copilot Studio agent, ten ready-written skills, published into Teams under your own tenant. It writes in one place only, never sends, and invents nothing.

Fair condition: your IT checks the tenant in the first two weeks. If it isn't ready, the scan carries on unchanged and the Brain isn't invoiced. Only as an add-on, never on its own; licences stay with you, direct.

AI Capability Building: Fluency cohort

Activation, personal productivity and AI fluency: getting a team to the point where AI is part of how they work.

Show detailsHide details
For
People who need to use AI confidently every day
Format and what you get
Four sessions, one a week, your team only, one flat fee per cohort. The same curriculum as the Chief AI Academy. Each person leaves with three AI opportunities, a personal toolkit and a first prototype.

AI Capability Building: Builder cohort

Systematic thinking and building repeatable elements: skills and agents other people can use.

Show detailsHide details
For
People who are fluent and ready to build their own skills
Format
Four sessions, one a week. Each shows the concept on a case from your own team; participants build between sessions.

AI Capability Building, Technical

Your technical people, working hands-on with the tools they'll be asked to support, build and secure.

Show detailsHide details
For
IT, digital, innovation and developer teams
Format
Four 2-hour sessions, every two weeks, designed around your stack after an alignment call.

A short questionnaire places everyone before the first session. Mixed rooms are too much for half the people and too slow for the other half, so we don't run them.

AI Use Case Cracking

Bring us the need. We crack it into a working proof of concept you can see running on your own case, and you leave with the architecture for building it.

Show detailsHide details
For
A company with one specific, named need
Format and what you get
About one to three weeks, on our infrastructure, with no new access from your IT. A demo is always included, and the setup is agreed with you, live, in the final session.

AI Use Case Building

You've seen it working and agreed what gets built. Now we build it where it has to live.

Show detailsHide details
For
Teams without their own builders, with a cracked and agreed use case
Format
On your tenant and systems, with scoped access your IT grants and can revoke, at a fixed price agreed at the end of Cracking. After go-live, support is available by the hour.

AI Hackathon

You have the tools and the day already planned. We make sure it produces working results instead of enthusiasm.

Show detailsHide details
For
Companies with a modern AI stack and a hackathon or innovation day in the calendar
Format
A 2-hour alignment call, preparation against your planned use cases, and hands-on support alongside your teams on the day.

Your IT is the line between proving and building: if new access to your systems has to be granted, it's Building.

AI Industry Update Program

An hour, once a quarter, that keeps your leadership up to date on what has actually changed, and what it means for you.

Show detailsHide details
For
Leadership teams, and clients between projects
Format
A 60-minute briefing with an optional 30-minute Q&A. A single session, or four a year.

AI Leadership Mentoring

Someone to think it through with, by the hour, when the decision is yours to make.

Make it stick

AI Commercial Capability Building

Four sessions that make a commercial team fluent with the Engine and able to build on it.

Show detailsHide details
Format
Four 90-minute sessions, one a week, your team only, one flat fee. It ends with a named champion and a clear handover.

AI Commercial Enablement Mentoring

The commercial leader's companion, by the hour: sequencing the plan after the Scan, steering adoption after the Engine.

Add-on to the AI Commercial Scan

Commercial Brain

The commercial knowledge base, filled while the Scan runs, and the same foundation the Engine later runs on.

Show detailsHide details

Positioning and messaging, your offering and pricing logic, ideal customer profile and segments, playbooks, won and lost deals with their reasons, partner material.

It becomes the Engine's knowledge base, so you don't pay for it twice. If your IT setup isn't ready in the first two weeks, the Scan carries on and the Brain isn't invoiced.

The one argument

The step from 3 to 4 is where AI changes the cost of selling.

Getting from level 1 to 3 is organisational work: defining, documenting, building discipline. AI can't skip it, and we'll say so.

From 3 to 4, measuring and refining continuously used to need analyst time. That's the work an AI engine now does all the time, so the Scan looks for your level-3 pillars.

For PE owners

One engine, across a portfolio.

Commercial improvement needs a mandate and a budget, and portfolio owners have both. Because the Scan and the Engine are productized, not bespoke, the framework, dashboard and skills that work in one portfolio company become the starting point for the next.

Questions we often hear

Do we have to start at stage one?

No. Many companies start with a keynote or a Playbook; others come in with one use case to crack. We'll suggest where you fit.

Can we combine both families?

Yes. A company can map one department and run a Commercial Scan for its sales team at the same time. They're different questions, so they're different services.

Do you sell retainers?

No. Every service is a fixed engagement with one price in a written proposal. Mentoring is booked by the hour, as needed.

Do you need access to our systems?

Not to start. Scans and Cracking run without new access. Building runs inside your systems, with access your IT grants and can revoke.

Where and in which languages?

Based in Austria, working across Europe, in person or online, in English, German, Spanish and French.

Not sure where to start? Tell us the situation.

One team, one use case, or a leadership question. We'll tell you where to start, even if it isn't with us.
