With Digital & AI

I've condensed 25 years of expertise and advanced practices into an evolutive collection of 25 frameworks / 50+ models, crafted to enhance guidance and brainstorming, transforming business development. This suite supports in-person and online trainings, workshops, and programs, leveraging Miro and large language models like ChatGPT.

Module 1 in detail ▾

    Most business projects fail, especially the transformative ones (usual estim. 50-70%). Startup initiatives also face a high failure rate. There are several well-known reasons for this.

With this, my clients enjoy streamlined project execution, reduced failure rates, and improved ROI through strategic alignment and proactive change management.

Teamup with AI

The Power of AI for Business Strategies
In today’s dynamic business landscape, leveraging AI is essential. Since ChatGPT's release, I’ve pursued continuous learning through hands-on experience and certifications. This has enabled me to build a system that effectively enhances business strategies using AI.

AI's Tremendous Impact on Innovation
AI significantly enhances various aspects of business strategy: data-driven decision making, where AI tools like ChatGPT analyze complex data sets to provide actionable insights; innovation and creativity, with AI generating new ideas, improving brainstorming sessions, and enhancing problem-solving capabilities; and of course daily productivity.

AI for Business - Workshops/Trainings
I've designed and run workshops and training sessions revolving around AI for business, both independently and in collaboration with Bryan Cassady, professor of innovation (EDHEC etc). Participants have gained hands-on experience with AI practices and tools. 

Prompt Engineering is a Good Start
Prompt engineering is an excellent starting point for utilizing AI, akin to learning grammar before mastering a foreign language. As part of the 'Team up with AI' section of the ADAPT & FLY System, it provides a solid foundation that enhances performance in other modules, ensuring effective use of AI for business strategies.
