AI Consultant - AI fixer
Uwe Goldschmidt
Over 35 years in the midmarket. Client advising, marketing, sales, financial management – always where decisions are pragmatic, not theoretical. Always looking at the big picture, across department boundaries.
When AI came up, I was like many: fascinated but also overwhelmed. Instead of waiting, I dove in with training to become
- AI Consultant and AI Manager (IHK) – for a solid base
- AI Compliance Manager (IHK) – for security
- AI Design Sprint® Facilitator – for strategy
It became clear to me: Most CEOs in mid-sized companies don't need a tech guy selling them the next automation. They need someone who speaks their language, understands their processes, and can place AI – soberly, structured, without hype. They need clarity!
That's exactly me: a business professional meets AI know-how. Not a developer, not a tool seller – but someone who knows how mid-sized companies tick and who now brings the expertise to give SMEs a well-founded start to AI transformation.
AI clarity comes from the AI fixer in 4 modules:
- Assessment (check AI maturity)
- Compliance (AI Act)
- Strategy (AI Design Sprint®)
- Support

Summary
AI fixer for mid-sized companies | 4 steps as AI quickstart: Assessment (maturity) → Compliance (AI Act) → Strategy (Use-Case) → Support. Pragmatic, hands-on. Important: first build a solid, secure foundation for AI, then implement the AI tools/automation.
Sound familiar?
“We're not sure how to get started. Some colleagues have half-knowledge and use AI privately. But in business? I don't know. What about the risks, the AI Act, the data, the employees? And AI changes so fast.”
Welcome to a world of change that overwhelms all companies in complexity and speed. The internet and websites grew slowly in the 2000s. But AI? Lightning fast.
Problem: development won't stop. So start gaining experience now and face AI instead of falling behind later. Opportunities before risks!
Please don't “blindly” order 100 licenses of an LLM or buy an automation you don't need or understand. First: set the foundation. Then: tech + tools.
As an AI fixer for SMEs, I help companies understand AI. Because it's more than just tools: a transformation journey that's surprisingly complex for many.
Besides sharing AI knowledge, I help build a solid foundation, address security, and develop strategy/use cases.
Thought through holistically, executed hands-on. You can't afford long wait times with AI.
What I'm not into:
Selling AI tools and automation without knowing/questioning goals and use cases
Throwing around a ton of buzzwords
Delivering theoretical concepts that end up in a drawer.
My support for SMEs:
Assessment - clarify the current AI maturity and foundation. Where does the company stand on data, tech, compliance, people, etc. + share knowledge.
Building compliance - pragmatic tools to meet the AI Act. For many SMEs this seems like a high hurdle that usually isn't that high.
Developing strategy - non-technical people can create first ideas in a structured, pragmatic way with the AI Design Sprint® – involving management and staff.
Support - long-term guidance so the excitement after the first workshops doesn't fade.
Why me?
I know both sides: I come from commercial practice in SMEs (finance management, sales, marketing) and have planned and led many IT projects (software, apps, etc.).
My AI expertise?
AI Consultant and AI Manager (IHK) for a solid foundation
AI Compliance Manager (IHK) for security
AI Design Sprint® Facilitator for strategy development
My approach is north-German straight: clear, direct, actionable – in short: let's do it!
