Answers to your most important questions.

perspice is exclusively specialised in strategic AI consulting and works senior-only: no mandate is delegated to junior staff. Our advisors have themselves held leadership responsibility in corporations and understand the reality of board-level decisions. We sell no technology, no implementation, no licensed products — only independent strategic advisory.

Senior-only means that all advisory services are delivered by partners and senior advisors with at least 15 years of experience in strategic corporate leadership. There are no junior teams preparing analyses or presentations. Every conversation, every document, every recommendation comes from people who speak on equal terms with your leadership.

We focus on European corporations and organisations with 500+ employees in complex, regulated, or international environments. Our experience concentrates on financial services, industrials, energy, healthcare, and consumer goods. We only accept mandates where we can deliver genuine value.

Discretion is a core principle of our work. We publish no client names, no project references, and no case studies without explicit written consent. All advisors are bound by strict confidentiality obligations. On request, we work under non-disclosure agreements from the very first conversation.

A mandate always begins with a confidential initial conversation (60–90 minutes, no pitch, no presentation). This is followed by a structured assessment of your strategic starting position and AI maturity. Based on this assessment, we jointly define the scope of work. A strategy mandate typically lasts 3–6 months; accompanying mandates can be designed for the long term.

No. perspice is deliberately focused on strategic advisory and offers no technical implementation, software development, or technology partnerships. This clarity allows us complete independence in technology and vendor recommendations — a decisive advantage for our clients.

Yes. We accompany leadership teams in ongoing transformation processes — as a strategic sparring partner, for board communication, to calibrate direction and priorities, or to support change management processes. We adapt to what is needed.

Primarily in German and English. All senior advisors are fully bilingual and work seamlessly in English within international corporate contexts, including anglophone boardroom settings.

Artificial intelligence is no longer a technology project but a strategic megatrend that is fundamentally changing value chains, competitive advantages, and organisational models. Corporations that do not develop an explicit AI strategy today risk finding themselves in a structurally weaker competitive position in three to five years — and this applies across all industries.

Digitalisation primarily refers to transferring analogue processes into digital formats. AI strategy goes further: it asks how cognitive tasks, decisions, and knowledge work will be augmented or transformed by intelligent systems. AI changes not only processes but business models, competency profiles, and strategic differentiation.

The three central dimensions for prioritisation are: strategic leverage (does the initiative affect a key competitive advantage?), feasibility (does the organisation have the necessary data, competencies, and governance?), and risk profile (what regulatory, ethical, and operational risks arise?). perspice develops tailored prioritisation frameworks with clients.

Generative AI significantly shifts efficiency boundaries in knowledge work, product development, and customer communication. For corporations: the accelerated erosion of knowledge advantages, new possibilities for personalisation and automation of relationship processes, and new quality and liability questions. We help leadership teams place these changes in strategic context.

The EU AI Act classifies AI systems by risk category and places different requirements on high-risk AI systems (e.g., in human resources, credit assessment, critical infrastructure). Affected organisations must implement risk management systems, technical documentation, and conformity assessments. perspice helps integrate these requirements strategically into the governance architecture.

The EU AI Act entered into force in August 2024 and applies in stages: prohibitions on unacceptable AI systems from February 2025, requirements for high-risk AI from August 2026, full application from August 2027. Corporations should be making strategic and technical preparations now.

No — and this is one of the most important strategic insights for corporate leadership. Robust AI governance builds trust with customers, regulators, and employees, improves the quality of AI systems, and reduces costs and risks in the medium to long term. Organisations that understand governance as an innovation framework are more agile than those that aim only for compliance minimums.
