Finding your way with generative AI

I mainly work with Lennart on client engagements where the aim is to embed AI for the long term. This usually involves practical, focused capability building for AI core teams, through to support with implementing technology solutions in the Microsoft environment. What I find particularly valuable is his exceptional foresight, combined with real openness, a high level of expertise and a clear understanding of the client’s perspective. Lennart thinks beyond standard approaches, focusing on solutions that will stand the test of time, with the overriding aim of finding the best possible fit. That is exactly what makes working together so effective. His commitment to quality ensures that, together, we always go one step further and approach even unfamiliar challenges with confidence and clarity. This noticeably improves both the quality of the results and their impact for the client, and always leaves us thinking: “I’m glad Lennart was involved.”

As a medium-sized business with clear growth ambitions, we knew that using artificial intelligence would be essential to systematically realising opportunities for efficiency and growth and strengthening our competitive advantage. At the same time, AI had yet to become an established part of our everyday work before the training. Lennart Gehl gave us a structured and accessible introduction to the subject. From effective prompting and creating agents to an overview of how AI affects our work as leaders, he demonstrated in practical terms how we can use AI in our core processes and what this means for our roles and responsibilities. Particularly helpful were the open working atmosphere, in which every question could be addressed, and the detailed Notion handout with further resources. Since the training, we have been using AI every day in our work. In our view, this is a crucial step towards supporting our growth in a professional, data-driven and scalable way.

Working with Lennart has been excellent for us in two ways. Through inspiring training sessions, our entire team gained a much better understanding of widely used AI tools and now uses tools such as LLMs, Gamma and Canva far more effectively and, above all, with greater enjoyment. Any reservations were completely turned around, and occasional AI use became everyday practice. It makes me very happy to see how enthusiastically people are now developing thoughtful prompts, engaging in critical dialogue with LLMs and setting up their own CustomGPTs. At a strategic level, Lennart helps us develop our business model, positioning and services in the AI era with a strong sense of confidence. Thanks to Lennart, we have a clear, AI-resilient vision for our company and can integrate the technology into our internal processes with substantial productivity gains. I find Lennart’s rare combination of technical depth, business understanding and a keen sense of what makes human judgement indispensable particularly valuable. I very much look forward to more projects together.

Lennart was the person who first opened up the world of AI to me. When I was looking for ways to strengthen my business as a self-employed professional and compensate for limited staffing resources, he showed me how generative AI could help in very practical ways. Since then, he has been a source of ideas, a sounding board and a reliable source of information. He helps me stay on top of the sheer volume of developments and quickly find suitable, practical solutions. At the same time, he considers the bigger questions around changes to work processes, collaboration and leadership, and brings this strategic perspective into his advice. This also helps me sharpen my own services for leaders. What I particularly value is that Lennart works with me as an equal, inspires and motivates me, and thinks carefully about what fits my needs instead of selling standard solutions. I thoroughly enjoy working with him, both professionally and personally.

In joint client projects, I consistently find that Lennart brings real strategic clarity, at every level of the organisation. He is always up to date on what AI can do and knows how to present these possibilities with vision while making them tangible in the context of the individual company. I particularly value his ability to move from the big picture to practical implementation: stakeholders leave his sessions feeling inspired and with a clear understanding of what to do next. I highly recommend him to companies at any stage of integrating AI.

In the talks and workshops organised for our clients, Lennart made the complex subject of generative AI accessible. He shares in-depth expertise with a relaxed professionalism that makes it easier for participants to get to grips with tools such as ChatGPT while deepening their understanding of its practical applications. His approach combines technological expertise with a clear focus on practical benefits for people, encouraging critical thinking and enabling our clients to integrate innovative technologies effectively into their business processes. Lennart’s methodical approach and his ability to explain complex material in a clear, engaging and practical way are a real asset to any organisation looking to address the challenges and opportunities of the technological revolution around generative AI and ChatGPT.

In 90 minutes, I gained a very precise and comprehensive understanding of the possibilities of generative AI. This gives me an excellent basis for planning the next steps for myself and my organisation. Thank you, Lennart, for such an efficient learning session!

Thank you for the introductory talk on ChatGPT at the Federal Council meeting of the bdia, Bund Deutscher Innenarchitektinnen und Innenarchitekten. The presentation was well structured and provided an accessible introduction to the subject, which was particularly valuable for participants with less prior experience. The careful preparation and deliberate attention to our specific concerns deserve particular recognition. Practical examples helped make this complex subject more tangible. This opened up new perspectives and also gave us the confidence to tackle new challenges. Thank you for an informative talk tailored to our needs.
