Who Waldsee is

Waldsee Consulting is an owner-led boutique based in Central Switzerland. We advise Swiss SMEs on AI use cases: from spotting them to implementing them to enabling people. No consultant squad, no account managers, no subcontracting.

Who Johannes is

Johannes Ortloff is an AI transformation consultant based in Lucerne. He guides Swiss companies through AI transformation. From SMEs to the management of international tech firms. Focus: pragmatic use-case identification, hands-on implementation, enabling leadership and team. Three programmes for three levels: AI strategy for C-level, the AI Leadership Academy for management, AI Transformation Mastery for employee teams.

(A personal background text of 200–250 words follows. To be written by Johannes himself.)

What guides us

Productivity & humanity

Efficiency through AI, without losing sight of people. Technology serves people, not the other way around.

Old principles, new technologies

Timeless wisdom applied to modern tools.

Pragmatism over hype

Test 80% solutions, learn fast, iterate. No 80-page decks.

Honesty about competitors

If cloud is enough, we say so. If another provider fits better, we say that too.

The methodology in brief

We work with the ATHENA framework (six phases), use context engineering instead of prompt tricks, and filter use cases against the 5 kinds of prosperity.
