Intro
Consultancies sell thinking and time, and standard work like research, deck building and reporting eats exactly that. An AI training that stops at slides changes nothing there. With us your team spends a week building on a real consulting challenge, for example a research agent that pulls sources together or a tool that turns notes into a board-ready deck. Instead of a certificate you keep a working prototype you use on the next engagement. Work happens with tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gamma, NotebookLM and n8n that make consultants without a technical background productive immediately. Transfer from classic training is unclear without measurement. In the hackathon it is checked through prototype quality, application and handoff. The lever is obvious, whoever automates their own standard work wins back billable hours and can serve more engagements with the same team. In just 1 week from first contact to result, including an internal AI literacy measures record.

Industry challenges for consultancies
Typical challenges are a research agent for market and competitor analysis, a deck generator from notes, a proposal assistant, a meeting-to-action-items tool for client meetings and an internal knowledge bot for your methods and playbooks. Your challenge comes from a real engagement.
AI training vs. AI hackathon (short)
A classic training ends with a certificate and retention that is unclear without transfer measurement. The hackathon ends with a tool that saves you hours on the next project, and measurable practical transfer. For a business that sells time, that is the decisive difference.

FAQ
Is it worthwhile for small consultancies too? Yes. Small teams benefit especially, because every hour won back counts directly. The Spark format runs one day for up to 10 people, which fits many boutiques. See all formats at /en/formats.
Does our client data stay confidential? Yes. You keep full data sovereignty, we work GDPR compliant only within the agreed scope. If needed we start on anonymized or sample data and transfer the result to your real context afterwards.
What does the consultancy keep after the week? A working prototype you use on the next engagement, plus a team that actually applies the tools, and an internal AI literacy measures record. More on the process at /en/how-we-work.
