Fundamentals
What is organisational transformation?
Transformation as organisational development: how strategic self-renewal connects with structures, culture and leadership.
Read moreAI without a clear direction
The potential of artificial intelligence is clear. Which applications matter and how they will work in your organisation is not.
Does this sound familiar?
The strategic importance of AI is clear. But there is a gap between what the technology could do and what it achieves in the organisation.
Common questions from practice
Which specific tasks or steps in value creation should improve?
Which AI use cases fit your corporate strategy?
Which skills, decisions and forms of collaboration are changing?
Where can AI support your strategic direction, and what changes to work, responsibility and leadership does that require?
transformis links AI to strategy, the business model and value creation. The starting point is therefore a specific question from inside the company. On that basis, possible use cases and the expectations attached to them can be assessed.

Lasting impact in your company
- Work on the changes in the organisation
Using AI also affects roles, skills, collaboration and leadership. Our support combines strategic clarification with organisational and people development. The brief records which organisational prerequisites need work and where technical or other specialist reviews will be required.
- Examine what an application means for the organisation
A use case can change how information is produced, results are checked and decisions are prepared. That is why the roles and interfaces affected are looked at together. Responsibility for expert review and for fitting the application into existing processes must be clear.
- Learn step by step and adjust course
A clearly defined pilot builds experience of benefits and prerequisites. The organisation evaluates which skills are needed and which ways of working must change. Technical implementation, data protection and other specialist reviews are agreed with whoever is responsible for them.
- Choose a limited, testable task
AI is an important issue for the future. Our consulting approach offers a framework for defining the brief: which customer or work task should change, who is involved and which strategic decision is due? Leadership can set out its expectations on benefit, quality and responsibility and test a limited application. At the same time, it becomes clear which skills, processes and decision rules are missing. Only by observing the actual work can you judge impact and next steps.
Technology becomes impact. Uncertainty becomes direction. AI becomes a lever for organisational capacity for renewal.

Frequently asked questions
What role does leadership play?
Leadership sets out its expectations on benefit, quality and responsibility and can test a limited application. In transformis’ experience, AI is often treated as a technology project owned by IT or project teams, while business units and managers are not involved enough. That is why outcome targets, priorities and success criteria belong with leadership.
Where does an assignment begin?
With a specific work or customer task and the decisions around it. transformis links AI to strategy, the business model and value creation, so the starting point is a question from inside the company, not the technology. On that basis, possible use cases and the expected benefits and changes can be assessed.
When can you judge the impact of AI?
When the actual work is observed. A clearly defined pilot builds experience of benefits and prerequisites. The organisation evaluates which skills are needed and which ways of working must change. Measurable outcome targets make it possible to assess the financial impact; technical feasibility is not mistaken for business value.
What does an AI strategy consider besides technology?
The skills, processes, responsibilities and collaboration of the people involved. A use case can change how information is produced, results are checked and decisions are prepared. That is why the roles and interfaces affected are looked at together. Responsibility for expert review, data protection and fitting the application into existing processes is agreed with whoever is responsible for them.
How do companies build AI skills across the organisation?
Through a joint process that involves managers and employees as well as internal and external AI experts. This helps uncover, assess financially and develop applications no one had previously considered. At the same time, managers and employees gain the AI know-how they need to use artificial intelligence independently and in ways that create value. Our support combines strategic clarification with organisational and people development.
