A project from the DC portfolio · AI Competence Center
AI from hype to execution.
The book and companion programme that helps mid-sized companies move AI from hype to execution.
What it's about
The AI Competence Center is our answer to the most pressing question in the Mittelstand: how do we turn AI hype into actual value creation – without overreaching? In the book „Gebt der KI ein Zuhause“ (published with BusinessVillage) we map the path: from a clear assessment, through pilot projects, to building internal AI competence.
We develop it with three further co-authors, each owning a strand – strategy, execution, change. The book is the theory, the AICC companion programme the practical test. To get a first impression, the opening chapters are available as a free reading sample in German.
Who it's built for
C-level decision-makers who want to know where to actually start.
Innovation leads who want a shared vocabulary inside the company.
Teams moving a first AI project from slide to production.
Why it works
From hype to substance
We sort what AI can really do today – and what it can't. No panic, no magic trick.
Roadmap, not slogan
Concrete steps that the Mittelstand can implement. No Silicon Valley romanticism.
Book + programme
Reading is the theory, the AICC programme brings it into practice. Two doors into the same topic.
Who builds this with us
Every project has a different constellation. These are the people behind this one.
