Why AI workshops are essential in Switzerland - CorpIn Insights 2025

Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer considered a vision of the future, but an essential success factor for companies of all sizes and in all industries. Nevertheless, our latest study shows that despite its growing importance, only 26% of Swiss companies have integrated AI as a central component of their long-term corporate strategy. This figure underlines how much potential still remains untapped and why targeted AI workshops, such as those offered by CorpIn, are urgently needed.

Challenges of the Swiss corporate landscape

Our recent study of over 1,300 Swiss companies clearly shows that many organizations still face significant challenges when it comes to introducing and using AI:

• Data structures are often inconsistent: only 8% of companies have fully consistent and uniformly structured data. 54% report largely uniform structures with a few exceptions, while 35% operate heterogeneous systems that are largely isolated from one another.
• Insufficient strategic integration: Only 26% of companies consider AI to be a central component of their long-term strategy. A large proportion, namely 39 %, only use AI in selected areas, while 30 % are still in the evaluation phase and 6 % have no concrete plans to integrate AI.
• Lack of success monitoring: Only 8% of companies measure the success of their AI projects with clearly defined key performance indicators (KPIs). More than half (51%) do not systematically measure success at all.
• Uncertainty regarding specific AI applications: Almost half of companies (48%) are only using AI in initial individual solutions, while 24% are still analyzing the potential suitability of their processes.
• Technological challenges: The integration of specialized systems such as business intelligence (BI) or supply chain management (SCM) in particular is often inadequate, leading to data silos and media disruptions.
• Cultural hurdles and acceptance problems: Just under half of companies (47%) report mixed opinions on AI among employees, and only 34% do not encounter any noticeable resistance.

These results underline the need for targeted AI workshops to support companies in the strategic and operational integration of AI and to ensure sustainable, efficient use of the technology.

Why are AI workshops the key to success?

AI workshops offer a structured, practice-oriented opportunity to tackle precisely these challenges in a targeted manner. In our workshops, we place particular emphasis on three key aspects:

1. structure of understanding

Many decision-makers know that AI is important, but do not fully understand the specific possibilities and use cases. Our workshops provide a sound basis for building up this knowledge in a targeted manner.

2. practical and customized use cases

Our recipe for success is not standard solutions, but individually developed use cases. We work with you to develop specific application options that are precisely tailored to your strategic goals and needs.

3. determination of AI maturity level with the CorpIn Hexagon model

Our scientifically based hexagon model evaluates your AI readiness across six dimensions: Data foundation, strategic objective, technical requirements, security and privacy, cultural dimension as well as awareness and competence. This comprehensive assessment enables specific recommendations for action and ensures long-term success.

The importance of the CorpIn Hexagon model

The CorpIn Hexagon model is more than just an assessment tool. It enables companies to benchmark their progress against other Swiss companies and target individual strengths and weaknesses. The model was developed on the basis of extensive empirical data and thus provides a solid foundation for sustainable AI strategies.

Advantages of AI workshops at a glance

• Understanding the basics of AI: Fundamental knowledge building about AI potential.
• Individual strategies: Tailor-made use cases, not off-the-shelf solutions.
• Concrete recommendations for action: Empirically based and practice-oriented recommendations.
• Benchmarking: Comparison of your AI maturity level with other Swiss companies.
• Long-term support: We support the implementation of your AI strategy in the long term.

Conclusion - Why AI workshops are essential

Our study clearly shows that although the implementation of AI is recognized as important in Switzerland, it is not yet being strategically implemented across the board. CorpIn workshops offer crucial support here to close knowledge gaps, reduce fears and derive concrete strategic measures. Companies that invest in targeted AI workshops today create the basis for sustainable competitive success and long-term digital excellence.
