Context
Challenge
The ambition and the innovation team were already in place. What was missing was a clear focus: one thesis to put the company’s weight behind, and a route from idea to a business.
Process
- Focused the digital initiative on a single high-potential growth thesis
- Designed a validation and experimentation roadmap
- Supported governance and decision rights for the new business
- Filled interim roles in venture lead, marketing and commercial
Outcome
- Leadership aligned around one strategic growth direction
- A validated business model for AI-driven document extraction
- First customers live
More cases
Every family business was once a venture.
Let’s keep that entrepreneurial capability alive.
