AI Consulting —
Full Enterprise Portfolio

AI consulting is the professional discipline of helping organisations turn artificial intelligence into measurable business outcomes. It covers executive strategy — deciding which use cases to fund and in what order — through technical implementation, integration with existing systems, workflow automation, governance under frameworks such as the EU AI Act and ISO/IEC 42001, and enablement of internal teams so the capability becomes owned rather than rented.

Alice Labs is a Stockholm-headquartered AI consulting firm operating across Europe. Rather than doing one slice well, we cover the full portfolio with the same senior team, so strategy, build, governance and training stay connected end-to-end. This hub page points to each specialised service; use the grid below to jump into the discipline you need first.

What is AI consulting?

AI consulting is advisory and delivery work that helps organisations select, design, build and scale AI systems that solve real business problems. The category spans five distinct disciplines: AI strategy (which use cases, in what order), AI implementation (technical build and production deployment), AI automation (embedding AI into workflows), AI governance (EU AI Act, GDPR, ISO/IEC 42001) and AI training (enabling internal teams). Most engagements combine several of these disciplines.

What services does an AI consulting firm typically offer?

An AI consulting firm typically offers: strategy and roadmap definition, discovery sprints, opportunity assessment, technical solution design, implementation and integration, model selection and evaluation, governance and compliance advisory, team training and change management, and post-launch monitoring. Alice Labs covers all of these; see the services grid above for links to each specialised sub-service page.

How do I choose the right AI consulting firm?

Evaluate on six dimensions: (1) does the same senior team scope and build, or is delivery handed to juniors, (2) fixed-price scoping available to de-risk the first engagement, (3) named ROI metrics agreed upfront, (4) EU AI Act and GDPR native if you operate in Europe, (5) knowledge transfer included so you own the capability afterwards, and (6) sector-relevant references with named outcomes rather than generic AI experience. Match the firm's size and delivery model to your engagement size — €5M+ multi-country programmes suit global SIs; €50K–€500K focused builds suit senior boutiques.

What is the difference between AI strategy consulting and AI implementation consulting?

AI strategy consulting answers what to build, why, and in what order — producing roadmaps, business cases and use-case rankings. AI implementation consulting answers how to build it and make it work in production — producing architecture, integrations, deployed systems and KPIs. Alice Labs offers both as dedicated services. See the AI strategy page for advisory scope and the AI implementation consultant page for delivery scope.

How much does AI consulting cost?

Boutique AI consultants typically charge €10K–€20K for a 2–4 week discovery sprint, €25K–€75K for a 2–6 week pilot, and €50K–€500K for a 4–16 week full implementation as fixed-price engagements. Tier-1 strategy houses (McKinsey QuantumBlack, BCG X) and global system integrators (Accenture, Deloitte, IBM, Capgemini) typically operate at $500K–$50M+ on time-and-materials or multi-year programme contracts. Match the engagement model to the initiative size.

Where does Alice Labs deliver AI consulting?

Alice Labs is headquartered in Stockholm and delivers across Europe — Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, UK, Germany, Netherlands, France and other EU markets. Delivery is in English by default, with EU AI Act and GDPR native and EU data residency. Dedicated pages exist for Stockholm engagements and for Europe-wide programmes; see the services grid above.

What industries does Alice Labs serve?

Alice Labs has delivered AI implementations across financial services, manufacturing, logistics, media and publishing, food and grocery, professional services, and the public sector. Our technical approach is industry-agnostic; sector depth accelerates use-case selection and change management. Nordic and EU regulatory context (EU AI Act, GDPR, national supervisory authorities such as IMY in Sweden) is native to every engagement.

Does Alice Labs work with mid-market companies or only enterprises?

Both. Mid-market companies (€50M–€500M revenue, 200–2000 employees) typically engage on focused fixed-price sprints and single-use-case implementations. Enterprises (€500M+) engage on multi-country programmes with governance and change management. The delivery model adapts; the senior team does not.

How is Alice Labs different from Big Four and global system integrators?

Three differences. (1) Same senior team scopes and builds — no leverage pyramid or handoff to junior delivery. (2) Fixed-price scoping on discovery and pilot phases, so the first engagement is genuinely de-risked. (3) Build-and-handover model: knowledge transfer is included so the client owns the capability afterwards. Where a global system integrator is the right answer — for €5M+ multi-country programmes, for example — we say so and recommend the appropriate firm.

What proof does Alice Labs have that its AI consulting works?

100+ AI implementations delivered across European enterprises since 2023, with 85% of clients seeing measurable ROI within 12 months. Verified outcomes include $250K/year saved on order management at Ljusgårda (Supernormal Greens), 6,400–8,000 hours/year freed by document automation in the public sector, and $40K/month recurring revenue from AI-driven content production for a media client. Alice Labs is EU AI Act and GDPR native, ISO/IEC 42001 compatible, and cited across independent European AI consulting comparisons.
