[ AI ADVISORY & WORKSHOPS ]

From first questions to a clear AI decision.

A 6-week journey for leadership teams. We explain what matters, set up the tool that fits, test it with a selected group and report to management. Then you decide, and stopping is a clean option.

[ 01 — WHERE WE START ]

The questions we start with.

You may have some of these on your mind. Each is a good question, and the first meetings are for them.

  • What is AI, in terms I can make a decision on?

  • Which of the new words matter for me, and which can I ignore?

  • Which tool should we use, and who decides?

  • What do we already have, and where do we stand?

  • What will it cost, and what can go wrong?

  • What do I tell the board?

Nobody expects you to know this already.

By the end of the stakeholder meeting, you and your team use the same words for the same things.

[ 02 — THE JOURNEY ]

7 steps, and you decide after each one.

Timing is indicative and depends on diaries. Prices exclude VAT.

01 · Week 1

Get to know us

No obligation

An initial intro meeting, so both sides can see whether this fits. We listen first: what the board expects, what you have tried, what worries you.

What it includes

  • Your situation, in your words
  • How we work, and what a next step would look like
  • No obligation to continue

You get

A clear view of how we work and what comes next

02 · Weeks 1 to 2

Stakeholder meeting

CHF 1,900AI advisory, steps 2 and 3

Decision makers only, so the questions can be plain. We clarify the basic terms and do discovery: what you already have and where you stand on the journey.

What it includes

  • A common base for terminology
  • The concepts that matter for decision makers, and the ones that do not
  • What you have today: tools, trials, policies, informal use
  • Where you stand, and where the board wants you to be

You get

A shared vocabulary and a clear view of your starting point

03 · Week 2

Initial assessment and what's next

Includedin the AI advisory

You receive these within a few days of the stakeholder meeting. One revision is included. The advisory is complete on its own, with no commitment to the next step.

We assess your position and set out the plan for what comes next.

What it includes

  • An initial assessment of your situation and options
  • A what's-next plan: priorities, first steps, what to leave for later
  • A starting AI strategy and roadmap
  • An internal AI policy tailored to your company, the selected tools and your approach to risk
  • A tool and configuration recommendation: rationale, data considerations, expected costs and available reporting

You get

A written assessment, plan, strategy and policy

04 · Weeks 2 to 3

You choose the tool, we configure it

CHF 590once

Additional technical work is scoped separately.

You decide whether to go on, and with which tool. We recommend from your needs, whether Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude or another, and configure it for you.

What it includes

  • Agreed access and settings
  • Controls and supported connections
  • Validation before the first workshop

You get

A configured and validated AI workspace

05 · Weeks 3 to 5

Proof of concept with a selected group

CHF 2,900first group, steps 5 and 6

A selected group keeps cost low and still gives you real findings. Participants work on tasks from their own jobs.

What it includes

  • 4-hour hands-on training on site, up to 20 people
  • About 10 days of practice on agreed tasks
  • A 1-hour online follow-up after about 10 days: what worked, what did not, what people need
  • Optional 1:1 sessions if the stakeholders allow them, quoted separately

You get

People who have used AI on their own work

06 · Week 6

Report to management

Includedin the proof of concept

About 1 week after the follow-up, we hand the results to management.

What it includes

  • A detailed management report: findings, available usage data, participant feedback and the limits of what a pilot can tell
  • A 30-minute handover meeting to walk through it and answer questions
  • The dossier: slides, prompts, instructions, policy, strategy and roadmap

You get

A decision-ready report and the dossier

07 · Week 6 onwards

Your decision

Two clean options, and the choice is yours.

You get

A decision you can explain to the board

Step 7 in detail: two clean exits

Neither is a failure. Both are prepared from the start.

  • [ A ]

    Stop the AI initiative

    You have what you needed to decide, and you decide no.
    • Tools are removed and access is closed
    • The status quo stays, nothing is left running
    • No lock-in and no follow-on commitment
    • You keep the assessment, plan, policy and report
  • [ B ]

    Roll out across the organisation

    Two ways to reach everyone else. You choose per team.
    • The same high-care on-site workshops, group by group, at CHF 1,590 per additional group
    • Or larger online events without hands-on, price on request
    • Mixed where it fits: on site for the teams that need care, online for the rest

[ 03 — INSIDE THE PROOF OF CONCEPT ]

One group, one short cycle.

The cycle is short on purpose, so cost stays low and findings arrive fast.

  1. 01

    Prepare

    Slides and exercises adapted to the group's roles, advance material, and tools and access verified before the day.
  2. 02

    Learn and practise on site

    AI foundations and hands-on exercises on the participants' own tasks. They learn to describe a task, improve an answer and check the result.4 hours, up to 20 people
  3. 03

    Try it in everyday work

    Participants use AI on agreed tasks. Optional 1:1 sessions are available if the stakeholders allow them.About 10 days
  4. 04

    Review online

    A follow-up that captures useful applications, questions, obstacles and feedback.1 hour

[ 04 — SIDE TRACKS ]

Extra initiatives run alongside.

After discovery we may suggest separate lines, for example a process worth automating.

Each one runs as a small project with its own scope, budget and decision, separate from the journey above. niivo acts as your AI project manager and implementer. We give feedback on the initiatives and translate results and issues for management.

  • AI spend tracked against budget
  • KPIs defined before the work starts
  • 1 page per update, with the next decision named
  • Each project is quoted separately

[ 06 — QUESTIONS ]

Before you book.

Can I ask basic questions?

Yes. The stakeholder meeting is for decision makers only so that the questions can be plain. We agree what the words mean and explain which concepts matter for your decisions and which do not.

Do I need to understand the technology?

No. You need to understand the decision: what it costs, what it risks and what it changes for your people. We translate everything else.

How long does it take?

About 6 weeks from the first meeting to the management handover, depending on diaries. The workshop takes place on site, the follow-up follows after about 10 days, and the report about 1 week later.

Can we book the advisory on its own?

Yes. The advisory is complete on its own. You receive the assessment, the plan, the strategy, the policy and the tool recommendation whether or not you continue, with no commitment to the next step.

Can you build on a trial or a tool we already use?

Yes. We review what you tested next to your current priorities and today's options, then continue with the tool that fits. That may well be the one you already have.

Which tool should we choose?

That is part of the advisory. It looks at Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT and Claude against your priorities, data considerations, expected costs and available reporting, and ends in a written recommendation. You choose, and we configure it.

Who takes part in the proof of concept?

A selected group, chosen with the stakeholders, of up to 20 people who normally work with one agreed tool. Content is adapted to roles and starting points, and beginners are welcome. A small group keeps the cost low.

What if we decide to stop?

Then the tools are removed, the status quo stays and there is no lock-in. You keep the assessment, plan, policy and report from the steps you completed.

What will my board see?

A detailed report, walked through in a 30-minute handover meeting about 1 week after the proof of concept: what was tested, what people did with it, what it cost and what we recommend. Side-track projects come with regular status updates in plain language.

What does it cost?

The advisory is CHF 1,900, the workspace setup CHF 590 once and the proof of concept CHF 2,900 for the first group. All excl. VAT. Travel and software costs are confirmed in your proposal, and the intro meeting carries no obligation.

What does the rollout cost?

On site, each additional group costs CHF 1,590, up to 20 people. Larger online events without hands-on are quoted on request. You can mix both, team by team.

What is not included in the prices?

VAT, travel and software or usage charges, which we confirm in your proposal. Optional 1:1 sessions, additional technical work, side-track projects and rollout support are quoted separately.

What happens with our data?

You decide, tool by tool. We classify your data first: what may go to a provider, what stays in your cloud region, what stays inside. Business terms of the main providers generally exclude training on your data, but terms differ and change, so we read them with you and write down the result. Your IT, security and compliance teams get the material they need to say yes.

Does this make us compliant with data protection rules?

The advisory covers data privacy and sovereignty and gives you a policy tailored to your company. It does not certify compliance, and legal interpretation stays with your counsel.

Tell us what the board is asking for and what you have tried. We say plainly where to start.
