Bitwerft – AI Strategy Workshop for Software Companies

A tailored AI strategy workshop after two failed attempts with other providers: processes analyzed, use cases prioritized, roadmap developed — including an AI strategy playbook as a deliverable.

Bitwerft – AI Strategy Workshop for Software Companies

Starting point

For 17 years, Bitwerft has been developing software for school development planning — 10 employees, loyal B2G customers, no VC pressure. Two attempts to introduce AI with external providers had failed (“They were maybe one day ahead of us”). At the same time, pressure is mounting from vibe coding, citizen development, and the question: “Why buy a license when Claude can do it too?”

Solution

A tailored one-day workshop in Hamburg, geared specifically to Bitwerft’s business model and development processes: processes analyzed, AI use cases identified and prioritized, an actionable roadmap developed. Key insights: a shift to value-based pricing, knowledge base before tools (structuring 17 years of domain knowledge), and starting small — one PoC after another. As a deliverable, the team received a customized AI strategy playbook with concrete recommendations.

Technology stack

  • AI use case analysis & prioritization framework
  • AI-assisted SDLC (Software Development Lifecycle)
  • Knowledge base strategy as the foundation for AI tools
  • Roadmap: AI-assisted data import, prototyping, internal products

Result & Impact

  • A clear, prioritized AI roadmap: a revised SDLC, a first prototype, AI-assisted data import as the first internal product
  • Customer feedback: “No comparison to the other workshops we’ve done! You came along on our journey and tailored the workshop specifically to us — that was the difference.”
  • AI strategy playbook with concrete, actionable recommendations as a lasting working document
