Services

Bespoke. Not off the shelf.

We build strategy and architecture for your company — not from a kit of pre-made use cases. Delivery runs through our expert network or the partners you already have.

The entry point

AI & Change Audit

Status and potential before anything is decided. Always the first step.

Schedule a conversation

What you receive

  • A readiness score across four dimensions, with the reasoning for each
  • A prioritised use-case portfolio with a business case
  • A roadmap over 12 to 18 months with exit criteria per phase
  • A role and governance model
  • A decision brief for the management team

How it runs

Remote discovery, then several days on site with senior leadership and department heads, optionally a deep dive into one critical topic, closing with a report and a presentation.

Available on its own. If all you need is clarity — ahead of a transaction or a platform decision, say — that is exactly what you get. No pressure to continue. Sample document on request.

The interim role

Fractional AI Office

The chief AI officer role on an interim basis — until you hire your own or you have established in-house AI capability.

Schedule a conversation

The problem it solves

Recruiting your own chief AI officer takes months. In that time either nothing happens — or things happen without coordination.

What we take on

  • End-to-end ownership of the AI strategy
  • Target architecture and technical direction
  • Governance and approval processes
  • Prioritisation and implementation oversight

How we work

One to two days per week, remote with on-site support at key milestones. Designed around impact, not attendance.

This complements your ongoing recruitment: we hold the role in the interim and hand over to your hire as soon as they start. Tapering from the outset, with a handover schedule and a period in which your internal successor and we run in parallel.

The operating model

Transformation & Enablement

We change the operating model — data, processes, people and governance at the same time.

Schedule a conversation

The four layers

  • Architecture — target model, system logic, agent-ready data layer, integration logic
  • Governance — decision rights, approval tiers, human in the loop, dealing with shadow AI
  • People — AI champions in each department, workplace coaching on actual tasks, a community of practice
  • Leadership alliances — senior leaders make decisions together or not at all

The four layers grow in step. If one is missing, everything wobbles. What this is not: not staff training in the sense of “AI for marketing”, not a tool rollout without an operating model, not slides.

Across borders

International AI strategy

A shared direction for your international locations and teams — centrally aligned, locally actionable.

Schedule a conversation

The problem

International companies span different markets, legal requirements and leadership cultures. A shared AI strategy must account for these differences and enable collaboration between headquarters and local teams.

What we deliver

  • Prioritisation by commercial leverage across all sites
  • Clear responsibilities between central governance and local teams
  • Site-specific delivery paths inside one shared target model
  • Assessment of models and platforms against local requirements and your data landscape
  • Intercultural communication and alignment across teams, time zones and leadership cultures

International experience shapes our work. Wolfgang Stemmer lives in Asia and brings intercultural experience and his local network.

SHIFT Academy · For business owners and CEOs

AI is becoming a core business issue. Your judgement matters.

You can delegate AI implementation. Business responsibility remains with you. The SHIFT Academy bridges the gap between technological development and your ability to assess opportunities, limitations and investments for yourself.

What decision are you facing?

Explore the questions that come before an AI investment or the next step in delivery.

AI Due Diligence

Before an investment or acquisition, what matters is what a company can actually do. We make AI capabilities, dependencies and untested assumptions visible for your decision.

AI & Change Audit

Your next decision does not have to be another tool. You need a clear view of where AI can create value in your company – and what is still missing.

Fractional AI Office

When AI starts in many places, it needs a shared direction. We guide the work for a defined period and help you build internal ownership.

Scaling AI pilots

A good demo is a starting point. Business impact follows when processes, systems and people work together in everyday operations.

Agent-first architecture

An agent can only act within the access your systems provide. We assess whether your architecture enables the next step – and where it sets limits.

Expert network

We provide architecture, audits and implementation oversight.

For delivery we bring vetted specialists — or work with yours.

  • Our own specialists from the network, on a project basis
  • Working with your existing service providers and contracts is explicitly intended
  • Delivery capacity is deliberately time-boxed — a bridge until your own hire is in place

What we are not

  • Not a delivery shop
  • Not staff augmentation
  • We do not scale through headcount

What we do not do

What we turn down says more about us than what we offer.

We shape each engagement around your starting point. These boundaries keep the focus on what moves your business forward.

  • No off-the-shelf use-case packages.

    We develop the architecture and approach to fit your business.

  • No tool-only rollouts.

    Processes, responsibilities and day-to-day use are part of the work.

  • No technology selection before assessing your needs.

    We clarify the task first, then choose models and platforms.

  • No scaling on the strength of a demo.

    What matters is whether a use case holds up in daily operations.

  • No analysis without a recommendation for action.

    A standalone audit must also provide a sound basis for your next steps.

Next step

Together, we find what fits your needs.

In 30 minutes, we get to know each other, discuss your situation and offer an initial perspective. Together, we explore which format fits your needs. Not a sales call.
