The AI Strategy Day is where the two sides of AI finally meet inside your organization.
Most organizations arrive with experiments running in one part of the business and a strategy document in another. They’re not talking to each other. The day is designed to change that — in two parts. First, an honest audit of where you actually stand. Then, the architecture that connects what you’ve learned to where you’re going — built in real time, with your full leadership team, facilitated by Christoph.

PART 1 — THE AI AUDITBefore pilots. Before strategy. An evidence-based assessment of the status quo.
Most leadership teams aren’t short on appetite for AI. They’re short on a starting point they can trust. So they wait, they scatter across a dozen disconnected pilots, or they over-commit to the loudest use case — before anyone has mapped where AI actually creates leverage in the business.
The Audit fixes that. It’s opportunity-first, not risk-first — grounded in how your business actually creates value: your workflows, your data, your decisions, your people. A pre-session diagnostic questionnaire means the day starts deep, not at zero. By midday, your leadership team has a shared, evidence-based picture of where AI is genuinely worth pursuing in your organization — and a clear-eyed view of where it isn’t.
What Part 1 produces: a prioritized map of your highest-value AI opportunities ranked by impact and effort, the quick wins you can act on this quarter, and the honest list of what’s not worth pursuing right now — and why.

PART 2 — THE AI STRATEGYThe afternoon turns the audit into architecture. Use cases are selected by strategic leverage, not technical possibility — and your overall strategy is aligned with your AI initiatives in the room, with the people who own both.
Strategic and Experimental Alignment
Your leadership team reaches a shared view — grounded in your actual AI activity, your data assets, and your competitive reality — of where AI creates the most leverage for your specific business. This is the architectural foundation everything else is built on.
Your Data Architecture
Christoph maps your data logic: where your competitive advantage actually lives, what your Dark Data is worth, and how to design a data architecture that turns proprietary information into a compounding asset.
A Working Logic Prototype
We isolate one Signature Workflow and build the logic for a functional AI prototype — designed for your specific business intelligence. Not a mockup. The working blueprint of a real system, scoped and ready for the 10-Week Program.
Your 90-Day Construction Backlog
A prioritized set of AI projects, sequenced to deliver business impact from day one. Clear owners, guardrails, and ROI thresholds. You leave knowing exactly what gets built first, and why.
