The AI action plan your team can actually execute.
Every organisation is at a different point — especially now, as AI advances at a pace that's hard to keep up with. My workshops for decision-makers create clarity: grounded in your context, your questions, your next steps.

Lots of talk about AI.
But no plan on the table.
"Everyone's talking about AI — but nobody shows us what it concretely means for our company."
You've seen the demos, read the articles, run the first experiments. What's missing is a clear assessment of what's actually relevant, actionable and scalable for your organisation.
"Our knowledge lives in people's heads — not in our systems."
AI needs something to work with: documented processes, structured knowledge, reliable data. Together we assess what's already there — and what needs to be in place before the next step makes sense.
"Our team is experimenting with AI tools — but without a strategy or guardrails."
What should AI actually achieve in your organisation? Where must people remain in the lead? How do you bring your teams along? Without answers to these questions, every tool deployment stays piecemeal.
"I need someone who honestly tells me where we stand."
I work independently of any solution provider and address topics like vendor lock-in head-on — not to dismiss them, but to make smart trade-off decisions together.
AI Workshop for Your Team
No generic slide deck. No theory marathon. A workshop tailored to your situation — from which you and your team leave with a concrete plan, not just inspiration.
Typical Starting Situations
Use Case Analysis
We identify together which AI use cases are truly relevant, actionable and scalable for your organisation — and which are a waste of time.
Data & Process Readiness
Are your processes documented, your knowledge accessible, your data reliable? We take an honest look together — before you invest in AI.
Change & Governance
What should AI achieve in your organisation? Where must people remain in the lead? We develop a framework together that gives your team direction and confidence.

A structured starting point: I assess your situation independently and give you an honest evaluation — no product agenda, no pre-packaged answers.

The Monday After the Workshop
Inspiration fades. Plans stay. That's why every workshop is designed so you and your team know exactly what to do the next working day.
Honest Assessment
A clear picture of where you actually stand. What makes sense, what doesn't. Evaluated independently — no product interest.
Concrete Next Steps
Prioritized by effort and impact. Not 20 ideas — but 3–5 that actually count.
Written Foundation
Results, recommendations, and decisions documented — ready to share with your team.
Substance over hype.
I'm Xiao, an AI consultant and coach based in Vienna. 15+ years in strategy consulting, enterprise software, and data management. I understand the complexity that executives deal with every day.
Technology is not an end in itself. I start with your situation — and derive what makes sense from there. Sometimes the result is an AI project. Sometimes it's a better process without AI. Both are a success.
Diagnosis before prescription.
I don't start with a technology — I start with your situation. What the right solution is — whether AI, process adjustment, or something else entirely — follows from there.
Transformations rarely fail because of technology.
The real obstacles are undocumented processes, knowledge stuck in people's heads, and teams that aren't brought along. That's exactly where I focus.
From practice. For the DACH region.
I know the reality of implementation projects — and I'm there when it counts.
"I appreciated Xiao within the first 3 minutes! She asks incredibly good questions, is empathetic, attentive, and very (very) competent. She is definitely one of the 3 people I trust 100% professionally and genuinely love working with."— Alexander Krenn, Secademy GmbH
"Xiao introduced herself as a problem solver — and that's exactly what she is. She grasps complex situations incredibly fast while being empathetic, clear, and extremely efficient. I wholeheartedly recommend working with Xiao — she finds solutions."— Lena Ruziczka, Coming Hooomm Yoga Studio
Not every question needs a workshop.
For decision-makers seeking individual guidance — to think through a specific decision, get a second opinion, or have someone assess their situation from the outside. No detours, no overhead.
I meet you where you are — from initial orientation to ongoing implementation support. Including hands-on work on tasks where you lack the knowledge or capacity internally.
