Together into an intelligent future

One point of contact. One clear path.

I am Ivo Haarmann, an AI Transformation Consultant with more than 20 years of IT experience. I guide SMEs from the first analysis to go-live - personally, pragmatically, and without agency overhead.

Why a solo consultant?

For SMEs, speed is often more important than consulting architecture. That is why I work directly with you: fewer meetings, less friction, more delivery.

What you get from me

A clear view on whether an AI use case makes sense
A concrete pilot idea with effort, value, and next step
Technical implementation with integrations and limits in mind
Documentation that remains useful after the project

My approach

“I do not build prototypes for the drawer, but assistants that take the first customer call on Monday.”

If a use case does not create clear value, I will say so. If it has potential, I will show you how it becomes a clean pilot.

Experience from corporations. Pragmatism for SMEs.

I bring enterprise experience, but I translate it so that it becomes truly usable for mid-sized teams: fast, understandable and without overhead.

Philosophy & identity

From complexity to clarity.

My goalIntroduce AI in a way teams actually use and understand.

The ConsultingServices.AI logo carries my entire method within it: absorb complexity, reveal patterns, create clarity.

On the left, the web: the reality of companies — scattered, intertwined, grown over years. In the center, the singularity: the point where the many fragments lose their separate existence and flip into something new — complexity, brought to the point. On the right, the loop: cycle and infinity symbol at once. Learning, adaptation and impact repeat — and grow with every turn.

As an engineering physicist I know: behind apparent chaos there is almost always structure — it only needs the right light.

Clarity before hype
Technology with real value
Less complexity in daily operations

Certifications & Continuous Learning

Proven. Certified. Current.
