Advisory · Roadmap · Implementation

AI consulting that goes further than a PowerPoint

Independent AI advisory at board level — no six-part report, but a sharp roadmap, prioritised use cases and an implementation plan your operational team can actually run. Remy Gieling advises boards together with The Automation Group on AI strategy, agents and governance.

Remy Gieling advising an executive team on AI strategy
Approach

From AI hype to measurable impact

We don't start with tools but with your P&L, customer journey and risk profile. Where's the first million in value for your organisation — and which three use cases can you deliver within 90 days? Our engagements are compact, factual and directly actionable.

Boardroom-ready

Advice the board can read: one-pager per use case, business case, risk analysis and resource plan.

Independent

We don't sell software. Our advice is vendor-agnostic — we pick the stack that fits you.

From advice to operations

Through The Automation Group we can pick up implementation directly — if you want.

Frequently asked questions about AI consulting

What's the difference between your consulting and a big firm?

+

We're compact, vendor-independent and operational. Where a large firm delivers a 200-slide report, we deliver a 20-page roadmap with working prototypes. And The Automation Group can implement directly.

Do you also implement?

+

Advisory and implementation are separate — no obligation. If you want us to deliver, The Automation Group runs that as a separate engagement.

Which sectors do you work in?

+

Financial services, retail & e-commerce, industry, telecom, healthcare, energy and public sector. Any sector where AI touches the revenue or service model.

Do you work internationally?

+

Yes. The Netherlands is our base, but we work across Europe and occasionally intercontinentally. Reporting and sessions in English or Dutch.

What does an engagement cost?

+

Depends on scope and timeline. Boardroom sprints are fixed price; roadmap engagements scoped. Request an indication via the form or call +31 30 207 2234.

How fast can you start?

+

Usually within 2 weeks. For urgent board issues we can schedule a first session within days.
