AI Business Strategy
AI business strategy is a grounded plan for where and how a company should adopt AI to create real value. Louis Henrich, an AI Expert based in Zurich, Switzerland, helps leadership teams move past the hype and build a strategy that actually holds up — not an AI wishlist.
What goes into an AI business strategy
- AI readiness assessment — where the organization, data, and teams actually stand today.
- Tool & platform evaluation — choosing the right approach, from off-the-shelf tools to custom models, matched to your business model.
- AI roadmap — a prioritized, realistic sequence of initiatives with clear outcomes.
- Process automation — identifying where agentic AI creates leverage versus where it adds noise.
- Stakeholder alignment — bringing leadership, product, and engineering to a shared view.
The frameworks Louis uses
Louis builds AI strategies using PESTEL to map the external environment (political, economic, social, technological, environmental, and legal forces) and the AI Strategy Canvas to connect concrete AI opportunities to business goals. The combination turns a vague ambition into a roadmap a team can act on. He has written about this method in detail on the blog.
Augmentation, not automation for its own sake
Louis's focus is always on freeing teams from repetitive work so they can concentrate on strategy, creativity, and human insight. A good AI business strategy improves efficiency, collaboration, and decision-making — without losing human judgment.
