Questions & Answers
The AI Roadmap is designed for companies that want to deploy AI deliberately, strategically, and with control. For C-suite executives, board members, and senior leaders who need to clarify what role AI should play in the organization going forward — regardless of whether initial initiatives already exist or the company is just getting started.
It is made for decision-makers who want to set clear guardrails without getting lost in operational details — and who want to position AI so that it is economically sound, organizationally viable, and legally robust.
The AI Roadmap is designed as a two-day format. We recommend scheduling the days back-to-back to maintain focus, depth, and momentum within the management circle.
Between the two days, there is typically a joint dinner or fireside conversation. This setting allows for deepening open points, aligning perspectives, and discussing topics beyond the formal agenda.
Alternatively, the two days can be scheduled as separate sessions with time in between — for instance, to allow space for reflection or internal coordination. This keeps the AI Roadmap strong in content and flexible in organization.
An AI Roadmap makes sense as soon as AI is seriously on the table as a strategic topic. It doesn't require a specific level of technical maturity or existing AI projects.
The typical moment is when management realizes:
AI doesn't just affect individual use cases — it touches strategy, organization, technology, economics, and responsibility all at once. That's when the need for structure, guardrails, and shared decisions arises.
The AI Roadmap is therefore suited for companies that are just getting started, as well as organizations with existing initiatives or pilots that are looking for orientation, order, and direction.
Participants should be those who hold strategic responsibility or prepare key directional decisions. Typically, this includes the C-suite or division heads, as well as leaders from strategy, IT, data, digitalization, or operations. Depending on the focus, legal, compliance, or data privacy representatives can also be included.
What matters is not technical AI knowledge. What matters is that participants bring perspectives, evaluate dependencies, and can support decisions. The AI Roadmap thrives on a shared view across departments and management alignment — not on technical depth.
The AI Roadmap is developed for your specific business reality. In the preparation phase, we conduct structured preliminary interviews with key stakeholders, capturing the business model, goals, current challenges, and existing strategic guidelines — such as corporate, IT, or data strategies, where they exist.
On this basis, we jointly develop an initial AI strategy in the workshop that fits your company, aligns with existing strategic direction, and is actionable for management.
Up to 12 people is ideal. This ensures all relevant perspectives are included without losing focus or decision-making ability.
The preparation effort on your side is intentionally minimal. Before the AI Roadmap workshop, we conduct brief preliminary interviews with selected key stakeholders to understand goals, context, and decision needs.
If available, you can share existing materials such as corporate goals, IT, data, or digitalization strategies. This is helpful but not a prerequisite. The AI Roadmap doesn't require perfect groundwork — it works with your actual starting point.
The AI Roadmap combines strategic and technological consulting from PLAN D with legal expertise from Taylor Wessing. In practice, this means: relevant legal questions are not reviewed after the fact, but integrated early into the strategic discussions.
In the workshop, Fritz-Ulli Pieper, Salary Partner at Taylor Wessing and expert in IT, data privacy, and AI law, contributes a clear law firm perspective. Topics such as liability questions, high-risk AI, critical infrastructure, or regulatory obligations are assessed from a legal standpoint and translated into clear input for management decisions.
For you, this means: you receive strategy consulting, technology consulting, and legal consulting in one integrated format. Management decisions, technical feasibility, and legal requirements are not treated separately, but developed and aligned together.
Digital sovereignty is a core component of the AI Roadmap. AI is becoming the backbone of processes, products, and business models. Decisions about cloud, platforms, models, and data hosting are therefore strategic turning points — not purely IT questions.
Within the AI Roadmap, we make visible where dependencies arise, what risks they carry, and what alternatives are realistic. Legal requirements, geopolitical factors, cost structures, and long-term ability to act are assessed together.
The result: you make deliberate decisions about where AI is operated, where control is necessary, and how digital value creation is built to remain sustainable in the long run.
After the AI Roadmap, a clear strategic foundation is in place. Target vision, guardrails, and priorities are defined — but not every detail is locked down to the last point. And that's by design.
We don't believe in a one-time AI strategy across 100 slides that remains unchanged. AI evolves too fast. Business models too. That's why the AI Roadmap is the starting point, not the end.
In our consulting format AI Strategy Team, we then accompany you long-term in the iterative evolution of your AI strategy:
- we sharpen priorities,
- contextualize new technological and regulatory developments,
- adapt target vision, roadmap, and decisions,
- and translate strategy step by step into concrete initiatives.
This keeps your AI strategy alive, manageable, and actionable.
PLAN D combines strategic thinking, technological execution capability, and regulatory context in an integrated approach. We don't think in isolated solutions, tools, or standalone projects, but in business impact.
What sets us apart:
- Strategy with execution capability
Our strategies are built to be implemented, operated, and evolved — not to end up in presentations. - Technology at management level
We speak the language of C-suite and division leadership — without buzzwords and without jargon. Not because we avoid technology, but because we deeply understand it and translate it. - Legally considered
Through the partnership with Taylor Wessing, regulatory questions are addressed early and flow directly into strategic decisions. - Experience from real projects
We bring experience from numerous AI strategies, product developments, and operating models — from mid-market to enterprise.
One team, not a toolkit
You work with clearly identified contacts who take responsibility — in the workshop and beyond.
