You know AI is changing your business. But not how.
Target picture corridor: AI exposure of your value creation, evaluated business model options, pricing logic, decision-ready proposals.

When AI reshapes your business model.
When AI reshapes a company's business model, I take it from target picture to execution: first as a sparring partner to the executive team, then as the leader of the transformation program.
Current Challenges
Three challenges at once
AI is changing your value creation: what takes days today may take hours tomorrow, for you and for your competitors. At the same time, the economy and cost pressure are squeezing margins. And the day-to-day business leaves little room for a transformation on top.
The question is no longer whether AI will change your business model. The question is how, and what you execute first.
Observation from Practice
Ideas are no longer the bottleneck
In my most recent mandates, the number of options was never the problem. The problem was the decision: which options get executed, and who carries the execution until it has landed in the organization. Deciding also means saying no. Condensing options, stopping initiatives, ending projects without evidence.
And the pressure does not stay internal. Your customers feel it too, pass it on, and expect the speed that AI makes possible. Whoever fails to deliver it watches a new competitor do so.
That is where I work.
Three Building Blocks
Target picture, program, leadership
You have a target picture or a running program. But nothing moves.
Leading the transformation program: AI Operating Model, governance, portfolio steering, execution teams.
Interim · 6 to 12 months
You lack the leader who carries it.
Interim line role: CPO, Director Software & Services, Operations Director.
Interim · 9 to 18 months
Hartmut Kremer
Responsibility, not slides
I have built two startups and run an organization as managing director. I have led large programs in corporations and know how decisions die in committees. And as Interim Director Software, Connectivity & Services I carried P&L responsibility and cut an overloaded portfolio down to what matters. I translate AI into business model, pricing logic, portfolio and organization: an AI specialist for the business side.
