About me
Many organizations discuss Artificial Intelligence – but don't know where to start specifically.
I support management teams in identifying and prioritizing realistic and actionable AI application areas within their organization. Instead of abstract strategy debates, we develop concrete next steps and decision-making bases for pilot projects.
My Focus Areas:
Structured AI Use Case Workshops for Executives
Analysis of organizational prerequisites (processes, responsibilities, risks)
Moderation of controversial perspectives between specialist departments
Development of prioritized action recommendations
I work pragmatically, clearly structured, and decision-oriented. The goal is not enthusiasm for technology, but realistic implementation.
Experience in workshops with executives from administration and public sector organizations, among others.
You can find further positive references to my consulting and moderation work on my ProvenExpert profile (5 ⭐ ratings for structure, results orientation, and executive support).
If you are looking for a clearly moderated entry into the topic of AI – with concrete results instead of buzzwords – I will be happy to support you.
