AI strategy & roadmap
Where to go, in what order, with what budget - aligned with management.
KI-PROFI · 03 LEAD
Chief AI Officer on demand.
Many mid-sized companies have AI ideas but nobody to drive them: management has no time, IT leadership no mandate, and an internal AI lead is nowhere in sight. KI-PROFI fills this leadership role for a defined period - with an experienced senior person who owns strategy, execution, and team building until you can staff the role internally.
Five pillars of the mandate
Operational project steering
The delivery machine runs: use cases prioritized, projects steered, blockers removed.
Automation & AI processes
AI lands in your processes, not in pilot purgatory - measurable and lasting.
Team building & enablement
Your team learns along the way: knowledge transfer is part of the mandate, not an add-on.
C-level sparring & governance
Decision papers, risk assessment, an EU AI Act perspective - at eye level with leadership.
The model
| Commitment | 1 to 5 days per week, scalable XS to XL |
| Price | Monthly flat from €6,900 (XS, 1 day/week) |
| Term | 3 months fixed, cancelable monthly thereafter |

Who is KI-PROFI for?
For mid-sized companies with 250 to 5,000 employees whose management wants to take AI seriously but has no internal AI lead. KI-PROFI is not a project role but a leadership role: it drives the execution that runs behind it with KI-PILOT (build) and KI-PARTNER (operate). The exit is planned from the start - the goal is that you can staff the role internally.
Frequently asked questions
What does KI-PROFI cost?
A monthly flat from €6,900 for tier XS (1 day per week), scalable to XL (5 days per week). 3 months fixed, then cancelable monthly - no hidden items.
How is this different from classic management consulting?
KI-PROFI does not deliver a study - it fills a role: with responsibility, KPIs, and operational steering. The person works inside your company, not above it.
