AI Roadmap & Operating Model.
Develop an AI strategy, clarify accountability, assess use cases: in four to ten weeks we work out strategy, responsibilities, an AI policy and an assessed list of use cases with business cases. The result is a decision paper your leadership team stands behind.
- Duration
- 4, 6 or 10 weeks
- Funding
- up to 50%, depending on the program
- Workshops
- 3 to 5, of which 1 to 2 on site
At which level do you want to start?
Three scopes for three levels: the whole company, one business unit or the work of each individual. They differ in reach, depth and duration.
Use AI across the company in a targeted, safe and value-creating way and define the data foundation this requires.
- E1AI maturity pulse for all employeesResponse rate of at least 40%, evaluated by department and location, enablement plan derived
- E2AI and data strategyTarget picture and ambition confirmed by management, value logic with KPIs

Frequently asked questions.
Which companies is the AI roadmap designed for?
Mid-sized companies where management decides on AI and several departments are affected. Typically 50 to 1,000 employees. Most funding programs are aimed at SMEs in North Rhine-Westphalia.
We already use ChatGPT or Copilot. Do we still need this?
Especially then. Licenses change daily work once it is clear which data the AI may use, who approves results and which process changes. The roadmap sets exactly that.
What happens if the funding application is rejected?
We agree a free right of withdrawal in case the grant application is rejected. Before making an offer, we check which program is open and suitable.
Can we start small and expand later?
Yes. Every scope ends with its own decision paper. What is created with your employees or in a business unit feeds into a later scope for the whole company.
Do we have to commission the implementation from you?
The roadmap and the MVP specification belong to you. Many clients implement with their own IT. If you would like support, we offer implementation at a fixed price.
