    Taskstreams consultingAI consulting and workshop: three steps to your AI roadmap

    Many SMEs know that artificial intelligence matters to them, but not where to start. That is exactly what our AI workshop is for: in three clearly structured phases you move from process analysis to a prioritised AI roadmap with concrete recommendations.

    AI consulting that goes beyond the workshop

    And because a workshop is only the beginning, we keep accompanying you afterwards: with AI consulting, pilot projects and the ongoing operation of your AI employees. Personally, in Zurich or at your premises.

    The workshop is the structured entry point. But AI in a company is not a one-off topic: priorities change, models evolve, and first pilots become productive systems. Our AI consulting accompanies this journey, from the first potential analysis and the selection of the right use cases to implementation.

    Concretely: we analyse your processes, weigh opportunities and risks, clarify questions around data protection and hosting, and help with implementation, including ongoing operations if you wish. You do not get slides that disappear into a folder; you get decision grounds and, if wanted, fully built AI employees.

    As an AI agency from Zurich we work personally and at eye level: we gladly hold workshops and meetings at your premises or at ours at Nordstrasse 9, in German or English.

    Our consulting is pragmatic: we do not arrive with a finished concept, but with questions. What has proven itself in your daily work stays. What eats time without creating value gets examined. In the end there is always a decision that you make, with numbers and arguments you can share internally.

    And if it turns out that AI is not yet the right answer for one of your processes today, we say that too. An honest boundary is part of consulting for us, because it protects your budget and your credibility within your own company.

    The workshop in three phases

    The workshop follows a proven format we have developed across many workshops with Swiss companies. Each phase builds on the previous one and ends with a documented intermediate result.

    Phase 01

    Understand.

    We analyze how your company works today and where repetitive or data-driven tasks emerge.

    Phase 02

    Discover.

    Together we explore agentic structures that can support these processes. We also consider which communication interfaces can be created for these agents so they truly work like digital employees in your team.

    Phase 03

    Prioritize.

    We evaluate all ideas by impact and effort and create your AI roadmap, including action recommendations.

    Proven frameworks instead of buzzwords

    We work with proven frameworks and tools that we have developed through many workshops. Three examples that you take home as templates and can reuse internally:

    Opportunity Map

    Analyze the value chain

    With the Opportunity Map we lay out your value chain and mark where AI can make the biggest difference. This creates a shared picture of where the investment pays off and where it does not.

    Automation Pyramid

    Tasks by automatability

    Repetitive Tasks

    Tasks that constantly repeat and follow clear rules. Examples: data entry, invoicing, email forwarding.

    Data-driven Tasks

    Tasks based on data analysis that recognize patterns. Examples: lead scoring, forecasting, anomaly detection.

    Human Relationship Tasks

    Tasks requiring human empathy, creativity, or relationship building. Examples: negotiations, strategic decisions, customer consulting.

    Prioritization Matrix

    Impact vs. effort

    Quick Wins

    High impact, low effort. Start here.

    Strategic Projects

    High impact, high effort. Plan these long-term.

    Low Priority

    Low impact, low effort. Optional.

    Effort Intensive

    Low impact, high effort. Avoid.

    Typical consulting topics

    These are the questions we clarify most often in AI consulting, in the workshop and in every collaboration afterwards.

    Choosing use cases

    Which processes suit AI and which are better left with people.

    Data protection and hosting

    Where your data lives, who has access and what the revised Swiss Data Protection Act means for your plans.

    Connecting systems

    How AI employees dock onto your CRM, email and existing tools without your team having to relearn.

    Involving the team

    How to involve employees early so scepticism turns into routine.

    Cost and benefit

    What a pilot costs, what ongoing operations cost and when it pays off.

    What you take away from the workshop

    The workshop does not end with good conversations, but with tangible results:

    • Your prioritised AI roadmap with concrete recommendations
    • All identified use cases, scored by impact and effort
    • The documented workshop results for review and internal alignment
    • A proposal for the first pilot: scope, approach and fixed price
    • An honest assessment of what is worthwhile for you and what is not

    Everything is yours: you may use and share the results internally as you wish, regardless of whether we work together afterwards.

    Who is the workshop for?

    For owners, executives and decision makers in Swiss SMEs who want to use AI concretely without building their own AI team. No technical knowledge required: we translate between your practice and the technology. Typical are companies where repetitive work noticeably ties up time and that want to check what AI can take over before investing more heavily.

    How to prepare

    Bring a list of the tasks that regularly steal time from your team and a rough overview of the systems you use. Nothing more is needed: no documents, no business case, no IT preparation. If you like, send us two or three concrete examples from your daily work in advance. Then we work on your real cases in the workshop instead of abstract scenarios.

    How we start

    Step 1

    Introductory call

    We discuss your situation and whether a workshop is the right entry point. Free of charge and without obligation.

    Step 2

    Workshop

    Three phases to your prioritised AI roadmap, at our office at Nordstrasse 9 in Zurich or at your premises.

    Step 3

    Pilot

    If you want to implement, we start the most important use case at a fixed price. Afterwards you decide how to continue.

    Frequently asked questions

    What happens after the workshop?+

    You decide freely. Many clients then start a pilot at a fixed price, where we build the most important use case and test it in daily work. There is no obligation.

    Do we need technical knowledge?+

    No. The workshop is aimed at decision makers and subject matter experts. We explain everything so that you can make informed decisions afterwards.

    Where does the workshop take place?+

    At our office at Nordstrasse 9 in Zurich or at your premises, anywhere in Switzerland. By video if you prefer.

    How long does the workshop take?+

    [MISSING: workshop duration]

    What does the workshop cost?+

    [MISSING: workshop price]

    What distinguishes this from classic consulting?+

    We do not only advise, we build and operate. If you want to implement after the workshop, you get finished AI employees from the same team, not a new tender.

    Can we do the workshop with the whole team?+

    Yes, that is even sensible. The best results emerge when the people who run the processes every day are in the room. We recommend a small group of decision makers and subject matter experts.

    Do we have to buy anything after the workshop?+

    No. The roadmap belongs to you, and you can also implement it with another partner or internally. We are happy if we get to build the first pilot, but there is no obligation.

    We have already experimented with AI. Is the workshop still worth it?+

    Especially then. Many companies have individual experiments running but no prioritisation. The workshop organises what you already have and shows which next steps truly pay off.

    The first step is already made.

    Tell us briefly where time gets stuck in your company. We will get back to you personally, answer first questions and find out together whether a workshop is the right next step. The introductory call is free and without obligation.
