​A structured approach to AI adoption

​Artificial intelligence is changing business models, workflows and decision-making. Businesses need to identify where AI can help, assess its value and understand the organisational and regulatory requirements involved.

Professional AI consulting provides direction. It helps you identify opportunities, consider risks early and develop an AI strategy grounded in your business needs.

FONSAL tech supports businesses in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, from initial assessment and AI management to reviewing existing AI practices and governance.

​Understanding your business

​Why AI initiatives need a clear strategy

​Many businesses start using individual AI tools or running pilot projects before defining their goals, responsibilities and measures of success. This can lead to isolated solutions that are difficult to integrate into everyday workflows.

Clear policies for data protection, information security, approvals and responsible AI use are often missing. Management, IT, business teams and oversight functions may also have different priorities and requirements.

Without a structured assessment, businesses risk investing time and resources in unsuitable use cases or overlooking operational and regulatory risks.

​AI consulting, from assessment to audit

​FONSAL tech helps businesses plan and develop their use of AI. We start by examining your goals, processes, skills and existing organisational structures.

We then assess and prioritise suitable AI use cases. Our approach brings together AI strategy, management, governance and audits.

This creates a framework with clear responsibilities, documented decisions and a controlled approach to integrating AI into your business processes.

​Regulatory requirements and management standards

​Using AI involves more than technical and commercial decisions. Businesses also need to address transparency, risk management, documentation and accountability.

The EU AI Act provides a European legal framework for artificial intelligence. The requirements that apply depend, among other things, on your organisation’s role and the AI system concerned.

ISO/IEC 42001 sets out requirements for an AI management system. It can help organisations establish clear responsibilities, consistent processes and continuous improvement.

FONSAL tech provides specialist and organisational guidance. Our consulting services do not replace legal advice tailored to your circumstances.

​Frequently asked questions

​How can an AI consultant help our business?

An AI consultant helps you identify useful applications for AI and prepare for their adoption. This includes assessing use cases, deciding on appropriate actions and establishing clear guidelines and responsibilities. Your business needs, goals and available resources are the starting point.

​Who is this consulting service for?

Our services are for businesses that are new to AI or want to bring more structure to their existing use. Smaller businesses can benefit too, particularly when employees already use AI tools but shared guidelines and clear points of contact are missing. The scope and approach depend on your situation.

​We do not use AI yet. Is consulting still worthwhile?

Yes. Before you start, we can help you determine which tasks are suitable for AI and what you need to have in place. We also look at AI features in software you already use. This gives you a sound basis for making decisions before purchasing additional tools or committing to larger projects.

​What is the difference between AI consulting and an AI Officer?

AI consulting usually addresses a defined assignment, such as an opportunity assessment, training or an AI strategy. An AI Officer has an ongoing coordinating role: bringing AI-related activities together, supporting internal policies and helping management, business teams and IT work together. The responsibilities, authority and scope of the role should be explicitly agreed.

​Is appointing an AI Officer a legal requirement?

The EU AI Act does not impose a general requirement to appoint an AI Officer. However, a designated point of contact can help clarify responsibilities and coordinate activities. The requirements your business must meet depend in particular on the AI systems involved, how they are used and your organisation’s role.

​How do we get started with FONSAL tech?

We begin with a conversation about your goals, current AI use and any questions you have. Together, we identify the assessment or support you need. We then define an assignment with agreed services and clear next steps.

​What will we receive from the consulting engagement?

This depends on the agreed scope. Deliverables may include an inventory of your AI applications, assessed use cases, a prioritised roadmap, internal AI policies or a training plan. These materials help you make informed decisions and take the next steps within your business.

​How do you select suitable AI use cases?

We start with a specific task or business problem. We then assess the expected value, available data, implementation effort, risks and technical feasibility. For suitable pilot projects, we define measurable goals so that you can evaluate their actual impact.

​Does FONSAL tech provide AI literacy and employee training?

Yes. Training is tailored to your employees’ roles, existing knowledge and the AI applications they use. It covers accessible explanations of the basics, practical applications, tool limitations and how to check AI outputs. We also address confidential information and your organisation’s internal guidelines.

​What does an AI audit involve, and does it lead to certification?

An AI audit examines systems, processes or organisational structures against agreed criteria. You receive a documented assessment with findings and recommendations for improvement. The audit itself does not constitute certification. Certification to ISO/IEC 42001 requires a separate process carried out by an appropriate certification body.

​How much does AI consulting cost?

The cost depends on the scope, your starting point and the level of support required. A single assessment or training session involves a different level of work from an ongoing engagement. Once we have clarified your needs, you will receive a proposal detailing the services and costs.
