Turning AI Ambition into Practical Business Value As Department Lead for AI at Akkodis Austria, I help organisations move from AI curiosity and scattered experimentation to focused, usable solutions that create measurable impact. My work sits at the intersection of strategy, technology, and delivery: identifying where AI can genuinely improve a business, shaping viable use cases, and helping teams build the capabilities, platforms, and operating models needed to make those solutions stick. How I Help Organisations ✅ AI Strategy & Prioritisation Turning broad AI ambitions into a clear roadmap, prioritised use cases, and pragmatic next steps. ✅ Generative AI & Agentic Solutions Designing AI assistants, knowledge solutions, and workflow automation that augment people rather than merely adding another chatbot to the zoo. ✅ Sovereign & Enterprise AI Supporting organisations that need to balance innovation with data protection, governance, security, and control over their technology landscape. ✅ AI Use Case Discovery & Prototyping Facilitating workshops, shaping proof-of-concepts, and validating whether an AI idea is valuable, feasible, and worth scaling before the budget grows teeth. ✅ AI Enablement & Capability Building Helping business and technology teams build the skills, guardrails, and confidence to use AI responsibly and independently. ✅ Transformation Across Industries Working with industrial companies, mobility and rail organisations, public-sector institutions, and mid-market leaders to apply AI where it solves real operational challenges. My Approach I believe successful AI is not about chasing the largest model or the flashiest demo. It is about finding the right problem, choosing technology that fits the context, and designing solutions that people can trust and actually use. Whether you are exploring your first AI use cases, building an internal AI capability, or looking to scale promising experiments into production, I enjoy turning fuzzy ambition into a concrete path forward.
