What does an AI sparring partner offer?

An AI sparring partner provides individual 1:1 consulting instead of generic workshops. You receive tailored strategies for your specific challenges, independent evaluation without vendor interests, and direct knowledge transfer from an expert with international hands-on experience.

Do I need technical knowledge for AI sparring?

No. The sparring is specifically designed for executives and decision-makers who want to understand and deploy AI strategically - without needing to code themselves. The focus is on business strategy, use cases, and informed decision-making.

How does an AI sparring session work?

The sparring consists of three phases: 1) Onboarding - analyzing your current situation and defining goals, 2) Individual training - customized sessions on your topics, 3) Follow-up - support during implementation and ongoing guidance.

What does AI sparring for executives cost?

Costs depend on the scope and duration of the collaboration. In a free initial consultation, we clarify your requirements and create an individual offer. There are no hidden costs or long-term commitments.

Typical Starting Points

Where are you right now?

No fixed curriculum – the sparring starts where you see the biggest lever.

Invest 2 hours, save 20

You don’t have time for multi-day seminars. In the sparring, we identify the three to five levers that make the biggest difference in your daily work – and implement the first one right in the session.

Typical topics: Prompt Engineering, AI Workflow Design

Your data is the bottleneck – not the AI

The best AI tools deliver mediocre results when the data foundation is fragmented, outdated, or inconsistent. We analyze where your data quality is slowing down automation – and clean up before we automate.

Typical topics: Data architecture, RAG systems, Process automation

Make decisions, don’t delegate them

Your CTO recommends Tool A, the consultant sells Tool B, LinkedIn celebrates Tool C. In the sparring, you build the knowledge to evaluate AI investments yourself – without depending on vendors, hype, or consultants.

Typical topics: AI Strategy, Agent Design, Vendor evaluation

From pilot project to running system

The ChatGPT test was promising, but nobody uses it in daily business. We build systems that work without your daily attention – with persistent context, automated workflows, and clear handoff to the team.

Typical topics: Context Engineering, Memory Engineering, Change Management

All topic areas in detail

Prompt Engineering – From simple prompts to systematic workflows
Context Engineering – Providing AI models with the right context
Memory Engineering – Long-term memory and persistent AI systems
Agent Design – Designing and implementing autonomous AI agents

AI Strategy – Prioritizing use cases, developing roadmaps
RAG Systems – Implementing Retrieval Augmented Generation
Data Architecture – Data quality as the foundation for automation
