For CXO
AI strategy for leadership teams
When AI becomes a leadership matter in your company. And does not stay an IT project that fizzles out without leadership backing.
- Executive advisory at the day rate
- ATHENA curriculum for leadership
- CHF 2,200 / day
- Confidential, NDA-ready
You are CEO, CFO, COO or CTO. Your employees already use AI, privately and ungoverned.
Your IT has ordered ChatGPT Enterprise or Copilot. But strategically, AI is not yet at the leadership table, it wanders from department to department. You know: if it stays like that, it will never become a competitive advantage. It will be a risk and a licence line item. Waldsee Consulting stands at the side of the leadership team. We turn "they already use something" into a strategy you can present at the next leadership meeting. Following the ATHENA framework, at the day rate CHF 2,200, without a three-year contract.
Three strategic fields of action
| Field of action | What you decide as a CXO |
|---|---|
| Mindset transformation | How you move AI in the leadership team from "an IT topic" to "a leadership topic", without it sounding like hype. |
| Strategic realignment | Which AI-driven business models you prioritise, which data you treat as a factor of production. |
| Operational excellence | How you structurally anchor digital, learning, data and risk competence in the company. |
What the advisory concretely is
- Preparing leadership meetings where AI is on the agenda
- Sessions between leadership meetings: 1–2 per month, 2–4 hours
- Pre-read creation (briefings, study syntheses, decision templates)
- Guidance on strategic decisions: ChatGPT Enterprise vs. Copilot? On-prem or not? Who builds, who buys?
- Confidential, NDA-ready, one point of contact
ATHENA for CXO
ATHENA is six phases: Awareness, Trust, Harmony, Empowerment, Nurture, Adaptation. Three are relevant for leadership: Awareness (what is really happening out there?), Trust (how do I trust the tools without adopting them naively?), Adaptation (how do I anchor learning as a permanent state?). The other three phases happen in operational business.

Common questions
What sets the advisory apart from a classic consulting mandate?
The advisory is on-demand, at the day rate, without packages. You pull it when you need it. No forced workshops, no consultant-day counting.
How much time does it take for me as a CXO?
Typically 2–4 hours per month plus reading the pre-reads. For strategic decisions or leadership-meeting prep, occasionally more.
How confidential is this?
The standard NDA is signed before the first meeting. Notes are shared only with you. Further security agreements on request.
What does it cost?
Day rate CHF 2,200, half days possible. Typical CXO relationship: CHF 4,000–8,000 / month.
Who is your point of contact at Waldsee?
Johannes Ortloff in person. No account manager, no junior subcontractor.
Are you a Big 4 replacement?
No. If you need an 18-month transformation with 30 consultants, we are the wrong address. If you need someone at your side who speaks your language and can deliver in 2 weeks: yes.
