FAQ

Consulting questions from NRW decision makers

Short answers that help CEOs, CIOs and innovation leads move forward confidently.

1

Can you help us secure funding for AI projects?

Yes. We align the technical concept with the requirements of programmes such as MID, go-digital or federal innovation grants, prepare the paperwork and remain your technical contact during audits.

2

Do you work with works councils and HR early in the process?

Always. Responsible AI adoption in Germany requires social partners to be informed. We facilitate workshops that address employee impact, data privacy and long-term job design.

3

How do you transfer knowledge after the consulting phase?

We deliver detailed documentation, playbooks and on-site training so your team can continue without relying on external consultants.

4

Are you vendor-neutral?

Yes. We collaborate with major hyperscalers and specialised boutiques, but recommendations are based solely on your requirements, budget and compliance constraints.

5

Can you moderate executive off-sites?

We regularly host half-day or full-day strategy days where leadership teams deep dive into AI trends, risks and tailored opportunities for their organisation.
