AI Optimization & Automation for SMEs and Service Organisations

Hands-on Advisory, training and execution to simplify process, improve operations, and scale AI across teams
Focus on what really matters and simplify what's complex

Identify the processes / products and etc. that create max impact. Diagnose where complexity, manual work, and friction slow your teams down.

Automate repetitive and manual work to reduce operational workload by 30-50%, improve reliability, and accelerate execution across teams.

Through hands-on implementation, workshops, and training, we help teams adopt AI, change how they work and sustain results over time.

Finance / Operations - AI Automation Audit

We were drowning in manual reporting and ad-hoc analysis. The AI audit helped us clearly identify where automation would actually remove work.

Within 3 months, we reduced manual workload by ~40% across finance and operations, with zero disruption to existing systems.

- Head of Finance & Operations, Mid-size Financial Services Firm (EU)

Services / Scale-up - Process & Operating Model Redesign

As we scaled, our processes became increasingly complex and decisions slowed down.

AI Strategy Labs helped us redesign our operating model and embed AI where it made sense : approvals, customer workflows, internal coordination. The result was faster execution, clearer ownership, and teams that finally felt in control again

- COO, B2B Services Scale-up (150+ employees)

Tech / Product - AI Strategy & Implementation Sprints

We knew AI could create value for our product, but we lacked a concrete roadmap.

What we appreciated most was the hands-on approach strategy, prioritisation, and rapid implementation sprints. We moved from ideas to production-ready use cases in weeks, not months.

- VP Product, B2B SaaS Company

Banking / Transformation — AI Governance & Change Enablement

We had multiple AI initiatives running in parallel, but no clear governance or shared framework. The team helped us structure our approach — from risk assessment to implementation standards — while keeping teams focused on delivery. This brought clarity, alignment, and allowed us to scale AI initiatives with confidence
