AI Strategy Consultant.

Translates AI hype into a roadmap that fits your organisation.

Remote & on-site DACH-wide
AI Strategy Consultant — enquire

An AI strategy consultant answers the question that precedes all technical questions: where does AI genuinely pay off in your organisation — and where does it not? They assess use cases by value contribution and feasibility, prioritise them into a roadmap, and put the organisational foundations in place: data situation, accountabilities, governance, enablement.

The difference from a classic strategy consultant: they know the technology from their own project work and can judge what is production-ready in 2026 and what remains conference folklore. That protects against both — knee-jerk activism and indefinite waiting.

Which AI use case did you most recently actively reject — and why?
Good strategists say no more often than yes. Anyone who only tells success stories is selling rather than advising.
How do you calculate the business case for an AI initiative?
Tests substance: robust assumptions about effort, adoption and savings instead of blanket percentages from studies.
What have you actually delivered yourself — not just recommended?
The market is full of AI strategy consultants without project experience. Delivery scars are the best certificate of authenticity.
How do you handle the EU AI Act in the roadmap?
Regulation belongs in the prioritisation, not in the appendix — the answer shows whether compliance is being factored in.
What does an AI strategy consultant cost as a freelancer?
Based on our market observation, hourly rates in the DACH region in 2026 range between 140 and 200 euros — the decisive factor is whether the profile brings its own delivery experience or only strategy slides.
Do we need an AI strategy, or are individual pilot projects enough?
Individual pilots are a good start, but without prioritisation and anchoring they often fizzle out. A lean strategy — use-case portfolio, accountabilities, data foundations — turns experiments into a course.
How long does it take to develop an AI roadmap?
For a mid-sized company, typically four to eight weeks: stocktaking, use-case workshops, assessment and prioritisation, alignment with the management team.
What sets agentic xperts apart from a large strategy consultancy?
You get experienced individual consultants instead of junior teams, without overhead rates — and a roadmap for whose delivery we can also place the right specialists.
