Becom­ing AI-Cen­tric: From Buzz­word to Back­bone

Transform Into an AI-Centric Organization

Gen­er­a­tive AI isn’t just a buzz­word — it’s reshap­ing how orga­ni­za­tions inno­vate, grow, and com­pete.

The ques­tion isn’t if it will change your indus­try, but how you’ll lead the change. The future belongs to orga­ni­za­tions that can oper­a­tional­ize AI.

Empow­er employ­ees

Stream­line process­es

Stack the right tools

Out­do your com­pe­ti­tion

Cut Through the AI Hype Noise

Every tool sud­den­ly has an AI-but­ton or claims to be AI-pow­ered. AI-gurus shout, “The AI future is here—adopt or get eat­en! AI is killing jobs! AI droids are after you!”

Don’t hop on the neg­a­tive AI-claim-train. Most of it’s just arti­fi­cial FOMO. Life is more nuanced and comes in a thou­sand shades of pink.

Once you lift some stones and scare away the AI-mon­gers, you’ll see it’s not that com­pli­cat­ed. AI is sim­ply a pow­er­ful puppy—willing, eager to help, untrained, and with­out life expe­ri­ence.

It only becomes tru­ly pow­er­ful with you, the human, as its train­er.

Why AI-Centric Beats Plug-and-Play Fantasy

There’s a dan­ger­ous belief cir­cu­lat­ing at the top:
That you can just “add AI” to your team like anoth­er tool in the shed — and sud­den­ly scale capac­i­ty.

But the real shift AI brings isn’t faster exe­cu­tion.
It’s the end of exe­cu­tion as a bot­tle­neck.

When out­put becomes near­ly lim­it­less, your real chal­lenge flips.
The new con­straint isn’t speed or capac­i­ty — it’s dis­cern­ment.

What’s worth doing?
What’s worth keep­ing?
What cre­ates real lever­age — not just vol­ume?

This is where most teams get it wrong.
They mis­take faster out­put for smarter strat­e­gy.
They flood their org with low-qual­i­ty con­tent, redun­dant tasks, chaot­ic data —
and end up over­whelmed by the very thing they thought would save them.

An AI-cen­tric organ­i­sa­tion isn’t built on more.
It’s built on bet­ter — and the struc­tures that pre­serve it.

  • Clear process­es that con­trol out­put before it spi­rals

  • High-qual­i­ty, reusable data instead of noise

  • Sys­tems that sur­face the best think­ing — not bury it

Being AI-cen­tric means being rad­i­cal­ly selec­tive.
Because now, you have to be.

The pow­er is no longer in your abil­i­ty to do.
It’s in your abil­i­ty to choose — and design for what’s next.

Here’s How I Help You Get There:

AI Discovery Session

Dura­tion: 1–2 hours

Designed specif­i­cal­ly for founders, own­ers, and man­age­ment, this ses­sion is more than just a con­ver­sa­tion starter—it’s a strate­gic ori­en­ta­tion into what AI-cen­tric inno­va­tion real­ly entails.

We’ll explore your cur­rent state, uncov­er imme­di­ate oppor­tu­ni­ties, and give you a ground­ed, prac­ti­cal under­stand­ing of the AI jour­ney ahead.

You’ll walk away with a clear sense of what’s pos­si­ble, what’s required, and how to begin shap­ing the role AI can play in your organization’s future.

CHF 400/person, min. 5

AI Strategy Sprint

Dura­tion: Half-day

Aimed at mid­dle man­age­ment, team leads, and oper­a­tions spe­cial­ists, this ses­sion is for the peo­ple who tru­ly under­stand how the busi­ness runs day to day.

We’ll uncov­er how AI already shows up — even unin­ten­tion­al­ly — and shape a strat­e­gy ground­ed in real oper­a­tional needs.

The goal is to craft a vision for where AI can mean­ing­ful­ly sup­port and ele­vate your teams, and map out how to get there in a prac­ti­cal, ground­ed way.

CHF 600/person, 3–5 max.

AI Implementation Workshops

Dura­tion: tbd

These ses­sions are tai­lored for employ­ees on the front lines—those entrenched in dai­ly oper­a­tions who will actu­al­ly use AI in their work.

The focus is on build­ing prac­ti­cal skills, con­fi­dence, and hands-on expe­ri­ence so they can nav­i­gate and apply AI in real-world sit­u­a­tions.

CHF 1000/person, min. 10

AI Innovation Labs

Dura­tion: ongo­ing

A rolling series of short, focused sprints aimed at embed­ding AI agents direct­ly into your oper­a­tions. We’ll start by iden­ti­fy­ing where repet­i­tive, man­u­al tasks live with­in your work­flows, then design and imple­ment AI-pow­ered automa­tions to take them off your team’s plate.

AI takes the grunt work. Your peo­ple keep the nuance, judg­ment, and con­trol.

Over time, these intel­li­gent sys­tems evolve from help­ful assis­tants to indis­pens­able co-work­ers, help­ing you scale with con­fi­dence.

Enquire for pric­ing

You don’t need an AI guru.

You need some­one who under­stands process­es, tools, peo­ple, and how to bridge the three.
We’ll move from talk to tac­tics — and get your team hands-on.

Let’s build some­thing real.

🧠 Growth Needs Clarity

Growth-mind­ed teams often find them­selves drown­ing.
Scat­tered data. Redun­dant tools. Messy process­es. Instead of accel­er­at­ing progress, their sys­tems clog it — drain­ing time, focus, and momen­tum.

I’ve spent 30+ years in the engine rooms of busi­ness.
From the Swiss Stock Exchange to pri­vate equi­ty and pub­lic sec­tor ops, I’ve learned how to diag­nose what’s bro­ken beneath the sur­face — and build sys­tems that actu­al­ly move the nee­dle.

I help teams escape fire­fight­ing mode.
The goal isn’t more hus­tle — it’s oper­a­tional clar­i­ty: clean process­es, empow­ered peo­ple, and lean, high-func­tion­ing sys­tems that evolve with your growth.

My core belief? 💩
Your sys­tems should sweat hard­er than your team — so growth stops being chaot­ic and starts becom­ing inevitable.

Not Your Typical Consultancy

Sys­tem Smart is small, spe­cial­ized, and senior-dri­ven.
You pay for the sharp knife — not the full cut­lery draw­er.

What you get isn’t a junior team Googling solu­tions mid-call.
It’s sea­soned judg­ment. The kind forged across three decades of build­ing sys­tems that actu­al­ly hold under pres­sure — in finance, gov­ern­ment orgs, small busi­ness­es, and scal­ing ser­vice teams.

This is a bou­tique agency. It’s a scalpel in a sea of but­ter knives.

Taught myself programming from a pre-internet handbook in my 20s and built my first system for an SME before I even knew what coding was.

Developed an investor tracking system for a Private Equity firm—long before “RevOps” became a buzzword.



Ran my own startup—an artistic cake business—only to realize that I love building systems more than baking cakes (though my project management setup was as impressive as my 3D cakes).



Discovered Notion and fully embraced my identity as a process nerd, system architect, and efficiency optimizer.



Became Switzerland’s 1st Notion ambassador and 1st German-speaking Notion Certified Consultant (24th of 85+ worldwide) in 2021.
