AI strategy and consulting

For sustainable corporate success: We support companies in strategically preparing the targeted and economically sensible use of artificial intelligence.

Why AI strategy consulting?

Our services include the analysis of the initial situation, the identification of suitable AI potential and the development of a customized AI roadmap - economically viable, data protection-compliant and technically feasible.

In particular, questions such as:

In which business areas does AI create demonstrable added value - and where not? What are the risks, particularly with regard to data sovereignty and data protection? Which AI technologies are suitable for our processes, existing infrastructure and business model?

Our services consist of the following modules:

Consulting

For local, data-sovereign AI solutions, including implementation.

Implementation of practical training courses

To empower internal teams.

Workshop formats

(E.g. AI starter workshops, design thinking workshops, AI strategy sprints) for the structured development and implementation of initial use cases.

For us, AI is not just hype, but a tool for creating real competitive advantages – securely, sustainably, and with full data sovereignty. We show our clients how to use AI effectively without becoming dependent.

Case study
Digitalization and process automation
justclaims.eu is a platform that enables airlines to process claims from customer complaints quickly. By implementing highly automated steps and integrated communication solutions, airlines can handle passenger compensation in a transparent and cost-efficient manner. makandra supported the concept development, led the implementation, operates justclaims.eu on a high-performance infrastructure, and integrated initial AI components for process automation.
Our process

AI potential analysis in a workshop

Step 1: Analysis and preparation

  • Introductory meeting (1–2 hours) to discuss ideas, experiences, and requirements.
  • Identification of potential AI use cases based on your business model, processes, and industry-specific data.

Step 2: AI Use case evaluation & refinement

  • In a joint workshop, we analyze and evaluate specific AI applications.
  • We classify use cases using a structured model.
  • You receive an assessment of which technologies are best suited and an evaluation of costs and feasibility.

Step 3: AI use case validation & roadmap

  • You receive a structured summary, including identified AI use cases.
  • Cost and resource estimation.
  • Recommendations and roadmap for the next steps (typically a proof-of-concept or pilot project).

Structured model for AI use case development:

Value & benefits

Does the application solve real problems?

Feasibility

Data availability & technical infrastructure

Regulatory compliance

Data protection & compliance aspects

Economic viability

Cost-benefit analysis

Our starter packages

Your own AI doesn’t have to be expensive. Start with a small pilot project or an idea generation workshop. We provide concrete implementation options within a small budget.
