Are you familiar with this situation?

You may be familiar with this scenario: AI is being used in some form within the company—ChatGPT here, a pilot project there. But there’s no sign of it truly permeating core processes.

And most of the webinars you’ve seen so far have either featured a tool demo or a success story that felt like it was from another world.

This is neither of those things.

The real question is:

How can a small or medium-sized business implement AI in a way that truly integrates it into day-to-day operations—in a structured, secure manner that delivers measurable benefits?

Many decision-makers see the goal but not the path:

✓ More tools often just create new complexity ✓ A few standout players aren't enough for an entire organization

✓ And traditional “digitalization projects” fall short when it comes to AI

Between aspiration and reality in medium-sized businesses

Perhaps this sounds familiar to you:

AI is used in specific areas — but no one has a complete picture

Keyword: “Shadow AI”: Everyone uses it, but no one knows what it is.

There is a lack of a clear strategy and governance

What data can be used in which tools? No answer, no trust.

Use cases are discussed, but rarely implemented effectively

ROI remains a gut feeling rather than a number.

In the end, it all comes down to a few dedicated individuals

When one of them leaves, their knowledge goes with them.

What this webinar is really about

No slide show. No AI sales pitch.

We’ll show you how we at Riwers have been driving our own transformation since April 2026 — together with our AI consultant, Tobias Kluge.

And all of it completely honest, including the uncomfortable parts.

The result is not an “AI organization,” but rather an organization that uses AI as a natural part of its work.

And all of this with the existing team, without creating new silos, and without a large additional budget.

In this webinar, you'll see exactly:

✓ How we measured our AI maturity across five dimensions – Result: 1.4 out of 5 ✓ How we turned it into a prioritized roadmap instead of a wish list ✓ How we rebuilt our first core process (presales) using AI – reducing quote turnaround time from ~2 weeks to 1–2 days
✓ How we’re embedding Claude throughout the company and building internal champions

✓ Why a clear AI policy isn't a hindrance, but rather a catalyst

✓ The lessons we wish we’d known sooner

The result is not an “AI organization,” but rather an organization that uses AI as a natural part of its work.

And all of this with the existing team, without creating new silos, and without a large additional budget.

What you will take away from the webinar

What if, in three months, your company had a clear understanding of its AI maturity level, had successfully transformed its first core process and had a team that uses AI not as an additional task, but as a natural tool?

In this 45-minute session, we’ll show you the framework we use at Riwers: how “let’s try something with AI” can become a structured, measurable part of your daily work — without overwhelming the team or breaking the bank.

Understand where you really stand

We’ll show you how we measured our AI maturity across five dimensions and why this starting point is the foundation for everything that follows. You’ll get a clear picture of what a realistic assessment of your current status looks like

See the path from assessment to the first use case

From maturity assessment to prioritization to the first production deployment: You’ll learn how the individual steps are interconnected—and what really happens between strategy and day-to-day operations.

Learn from Real Results

We don’t sell a ready-made solution; instead, we share the path we’re currently on ourselves — including the parts where things didn’t go as planned. That’s the kind of insight you won’t find in any glossy presentation.

Bring a specific framework with you

What does AI readiness mean for a company like yours? Where is the best place to start? And how can you prevent the initiative from fizzling out? We’ll answer these questions — straightforwardly, without beating around the bush.

What else you will see in the webinar

In the webinar, we will give you a comprehensive insight into how we work at Riwers:

✓ how we assessed our AI maturity across five dimensions (strategy, governance, value creation, technology & data, and people)

✓ how we turned it into a prioritized roadmap instead of a wish list

✓ how we rebuilt our first core process—presales—using AI (goal: reducing quote turnaround time from ~2 weeks to 1–2 days)

✓ how we are embedding Claude throughout the company and building internal champions

✓ why clear AI guidelines and governance aren’t a hindrance, but rather a catalyst

We demonstrate all of this using real-world results from our own transformation—the journey we are currently embarking on ourselves.
