We train people. But a course on its own has never changed a process, introduced a tool or brought a department along. For that part we work with TransformWerk.
We say it plainly: absofort makes people capable. Anyone who completes a role certification or the Diploma Programme can do something afterwards that they could not do before. What they then do with it inside the company is not decided in the course.
That is exactly where TransformWerk comes in — a consultancy from Trimbach near Olten that guides Swiss SMEs through digitalisation and AI projects. Their claim reads “Optimise processes. Integrate AI. Bring people along.”, and the order in it is no accident.
«Most digitalisation and AI projects do not fail because of the technology. They fail because goals are unclear, employees are involved too late, or existing processes stay exactly as they were.»
The approach is set out in eight steps and deliberately does not begin with technology, but with taking stock: where do media breaks, duplicated work and unnecessary effort arise?
Step 04 and step 07 are the points where training makes the difference. A pilot group that is meant to try out AI needs more than curiosity — it needs a foundation. And “enablement” is not a half-day workshop, but structured learning with proof.
That is what our 46 role certifications and the Diploma Programme are built for. Conversely, the best certification achieves little if nobody inside the company touches the processes. Hence the division of labour: we make the people capable, TransformWerk makes the organisation ready.
Getting started costs nothing: the SME check shows in a few minutes where the potential around digitalisation, processes and AI lies in your own company. Anyone wanting more detail gets a thorough assessment with the TransformWerk Compass.
If you would rather read up first: Praxiswissen collects articles on topics such as AI guidelines for SMEs — the kind of question that belongs settled before the first tool arrives.
