Technology creates the potential. Your people determine the return.
We help organizations move from AI potential to measurable business value, with objective advisory, research-backed leadership development, and a human-centered path to adoption.
Direct access to a senior practitioner from day one. No layers, no hand-offs.
Tested in real organizations, grounded in science. Shaped to what actually works.
Based in Europe and the GCC, working globally. Tailored to your legal and cultural context.
Most organizations have started: pilots, licenses, use cases, internal initiatives. What leaders need now is a clearer path from experimentation to measurable impact.
Many teams are testing AI and running pilots. The activity is visible, but the link to strategic priorities, ownership, and measurable business outcomes often remains unclear.
AI is being added to existing processes, routines, and decision flows. In many organizations, the technology has arrived before the work around it has evolved.
People are curious and willing to engage. What varies is the clarity, confidence, capability, and time they have to use AI responsibly and effectively.
Success means more than using AI. It means knowing where it creates value, how to adopt it responsibly, and how to build the human capability to keep improving.
We help leadership teams translate strategic priorities into focused use cases, clear ownership, and measurable business outcomes.
We provide objective, research-backed advisory, so you can assess opportunities, risks, vendors, and investments with clarity.
We help your teams redesign workflows, roles, and decision routines so AI becomes part of better ways of working.
We build the leadership judgment, skills, and routines your teams need to lead AI long after we are gone.
Strauss MindTech is led by two of Europe's clearest voices on AI and leadership. You work with them directly, from the first call.
Christina brings over a decade of experience advising leaders on AI, digital transformation, and human-centered change. At Strauss MindTech, she works with leadership teams at global industry leaders including organizations like Siemens and RWE, as well as confidential family businesses and multi-billion-euro enterprises.
With a doctorate summa cum laude in digital communication and a background in psychology and management, Christina is a senior advisor on the human side of AI: how leaders build trust, shift behavior, strengthen adoption, and turn technology investments into organizational value. As a board member and advisor, she helps executive teams make AI decisions that are strategically sound, practically actionable, and credible with the people who need to implement them.
Erik brings over fifteen years of experience advising large companies, family businesses, and senior leadership teams on strategy, management, decision-making, and technology-driven change. As a professor and chairman of the supervisory board of a family-owned industrial group, he combines academic rigor with boardroom judgment.
His advisory work focuses on AI-enabled decision-making, strategy execution, and the governance structures required to turn AI into measurable performance. Erik helps leaders move from abstract AI ambition to better decisions, clearer priorities, and execution systems that hold under real business pressure.
Strauss MindTech advises leadership teams on how to turn AI ambition into measurable business value – by aligning strategy, reshaping operating models, and guiding the decisions that matter most.
Every organization starts from a different place. We design a tailor-made path for the human side of your AI transformation – strategy, operating model, adoption, governance. The entry points below are our most requested formats; they are not off-the-shelf products but starting references for a conversation about what you actually need. Throughout the entire journey, our Strategic AI Advisory is available – as an ongoing retainer, on-demand sparring partner, or fractional CAIO. Whichever stage you are in, you will never navigate it alone.
You know AI matters, but your leadership team needs a shared understanding of what it means for your business.
AI initiatives exist, but priorities, ownership and strategic direction are unclear.
There are many ideas, but the organization needs to decide which AI use cases are worth pursuing.
The technology path is taking shape, but roles, responsibilities and collaboration models are not yet ready.
The strategy is clear, but adoption, communication and capability building need to reach the organization.
AI is embedded, but leadership needs a trusted thought partner to keep decisions sharp and momentum high.

Help your leadership team make better decisions about AI. We create a shared understanding of AI's business implications and align your C-suite or board around priorities, risks and next steps.
Understand where AI can create value and what is holding your organization back. We assess your current maturity, leadership alignment, use-case potential and organizational blockers, then define the most effective path forward.
Move from scattered AI ideas to a clear portfolio. We help identify, structure and prioritize use cases based on business value, feasibility, risk, adoption effort and strategic relevance.
Design the roles, routines and decision rights needed to make AI work. We define how leaders, teams, functions and partners collaborate around AI so value does not get lost between strategy and execution.
Turn AI initiatives into behavior change. We design the communication, capability-building and stakeholder engagement needed for people to understand, trust and use AI in daily work.
Turn early AI wins into lasting organizational capability. We help you measure impact, build a performance cadence, scale what works and iterate what does not – so AI creates sustained, compounding value rather than one-off results.

Working with Strauss MindTech has brought real added value to our leadership team. Particularly noteworthy is the customized, practice-oriented upskilling, which has not only given our executives a deeper understanding of AI topics, but above all has made them more articulate in communicating the associated added value. The benefits of the initiative were so clear after the first C-suite workshop that we were able to secure significant budget approval at short notice. Since then, we have continued to rely on Strauss MindTech to drive the targeted development of our management team and promote innovation within the company in the long term.
We engaged Strauss MindTech to conduct several C-Suite-level workshops, which proved instrumental in shaping our ambitions and governance around this topic. The team provided a practical and scalable framework for assessing and prioritizing use cases, from quick wins to longer-term investments. The model they introduced for building business cases has been invaluable, as has their ability to broaden our perspective on the human side of AI. I would confidently recommend Strauss MindTech for future engagements and ongoing support.
