Biography:
Oliver Kleinknecht is a partner at CPC AG, specializing in digitalization and AI transformation, project and program management, as well as change management and organizational design. Before joining CPC, he worked as a developer, architect, and project manager for a global IT service provider. His credo: Knowledge and experience are the foundation of success, which can only be achieved through hands-on action.

Over the past few weeks, we have been working with our partner Big Pictury on an extraordinary project: the AI Big Picture.

The starting point was numerous conversations with customers and colleagues, in which the same question kept coming up:
"Oh, is that also an AI use case?"

A visual map of AI possibilities

This observation gave rise to a visual map of AI possibilities —our spaceship metaphor. It is not a technical overview, but rather an inspiring illustration of how AI affects all areas of a company as a cross-cutting issue: HR, finance, production, marketing, and customer service.

Recognizing diversity, discovering potential

Whether familiar or surprising examples of application – the big picture reveals how diverse AI can already be used today. It invites us to reflect on our own role in the AI transformation and to adopt new perspectives.

In addition to the use cases, the big picture also shows the steps we take with our customers to make their AI transformation effective and secure.

Why a spaceship in space?

Because it creates space—for new perspectives, questions, and ideas:

  • What skills do organizations need to navigate unfamiliar territory?
  • How can processes be completely reimagined?
  • And how does orientation arise—even without knowing all the answers?

Our big picture is not a finished plan, but an invitation to dialogue. An impulse to explore together what is possible and what makes sense.

Would you like to learn more about our big picture and find out how your company can benefit from AI?
