1. Strategic Reinvention Accelerators

1. Purpose

These accelerators speed up the execution of the Strategic Reinvention track. They provide ready-to-use frameworks, checklists and working formats that leaders and AI PMs can apply directly.

2. Accelerator: AI Strategy Canvas

Use this canvas in a half-day strategy session with the leadership team to determine the strategic position.

Quadrant Questions
Current position What is our AI maturity today? Which use cases are running in production?
Market pressure How quickly are competitors integrating AI? Which customer expectations are shifting?
Strategic options Are we choosing for leadership, followership or a niche?
Critical resources Which data, competencies and partners do we need? What is missing?
Commitment Which budget, FTEs and time horizon are we willing to commit?

Output: A one-page strategic AI compass that serves as a decision document for the board.

3. Accelerator: Value Chain Analysis

Map the AI impact on your value chain using the following format:

Value Chain Link Current Activity AI Potential Priority (H/M/L) Dependencies
[Link 1] [Description] [Opportunity]
[Link 2]

Rule of thumb: Focus first on links with high repetition frequency, large data volumes and limited discretionary decisions.

4. Accelerator: Scenario Planning (3 Worlds)

Use the '3 Worlds' method to plan under uncertainty:

Scenario Assumption Strategic response
Slow adoption Market adopts AI moderately; 3–5 years Operational Redesign as base, deliberate monitoring
Accelerated adoption Market moves fast; 1–2 years Accelerated Strategic Reinvention, partnerships
Disruptive leap Dominant player redefines market in \<1 year Emergency protocol: focus on distinctive data funding

Instruction: Elaborate each scenario on two A4 pages and discuss which strategic decisions must be made now to survive in all three worlds.

5. Accelerator: Competency Roadmap

Use this format to plan the required AI competencies over the next 12 months:

Competency Currently present? Desired level How to acquire? Owner Date
AI Product Management Partial Full Hire + training CAIO Q2
MLOps & monitoring No Basic External training Tech Lead Q1
AI Ethics & Governance No Full Training programme Guardian Q2
Prompting & AI use No Basic (all staff) Internal workshop HR Q1
