Together into an intelligent future

One point of contact. No handovers.

I am Ivo Haarmann — AI Transformation Consultant with over 20 years of IT experience. I advise medium-sized companies on the implementation of AI agents and LLM solutions. Personally, from analysis to go-live. No team in the background, no handover to juniors, no project manager as a buffer.

Why a Solo Consultant?

Large consultancies have processes, hierarchies, and overhead. This works for corporations with their own IT. For SMEs with 10–200 employees, it is often too much — and too expensive.

You talk to me, I do the analysis, I build the pilot, I accompany the go-live. This shortens paths, avoids misunderstandings, and keeps costs where they belong: in implementation, not in coordination.

What I Bring

  • Experience with AI systems in concrete business processes — support, knowledge management, telephony, proposal management
  • Technical understanding of LLMs, APIs, integrations, and their limitations
  • Honest assessment of what AI can do today — and where it is not yet meaningful
  • Documentation that works after the project — not just during

My Approach

“I don’t build prototypes for the drawer, but assistants that take the first customer call on Monday.”

I do not work with hype promises. If AI does not bring value to you, I will say so in the AI initial consultation. If a use case has potential, I will show you exactly what the pilot costs, what it delivers, and how long it takes.

Each package has concrete deliverables — black on white, before you book. And if the pilot does not deliver a measurable result, I will not charge for the accompanying phase.

Experience from Corporations. Pragmatism for SMEs.

In my 20+ years in IT and transformation consulting, I have worked for the big players and managed projects. Today, I bring this enterprise knowledge to medium-sized companies – but pragmatically, quickly, and without overhead.

Location & Working Method

Based in Ratingen, focus on NRW — but most projects run remotely. Initial conversation via video call, pilot phase with weekly status calls, communication via email or Slack.

If an on-site appointment makes sense, I will do it — but honestly, 90% of the projects do not need one.

Philosophy & Identity: From Complexity to Clarity

ConsultingServices.Ai Logo - From Complexity to Clarity

The logo of ConsultingServices.Ai symbolizes the transformation of complexity into clarity – and thus exactly the central challenge that many small and medium-sized enterprises face today in the age of artificial intelligence.

The left side of the symbol consists of a dynamic network of points, connections, and data structures. It represents the current reality of many companies: scattered information, isolated processes, convoluted systems, and the ever-growing complexity of digital technologies. At the same time, this network also symbolizes knowledge, potential, and the enormous amount of data and opportunities that modern AI can leverage.

In the center of the logo is the so-called "singularity" – a bright focal point where all information converges. This point represents the moment of insight: the transition from chaos to structure, from uncertainty to strategic clarity. It symbolizes the ability of artificial intelligence to recognize patterns, make connections visible, and open up new perspectives for companies. At the same time, this core also represents the role of ConsultingServices.Ai itself: not as a pure technology platform, but as an intelligent mediator between humans, strategy, and AI.

From this central point, the flowing infinity loop emerges on the right side. It stands for continuous learning, sustainable development, and the nearly unlimited possibilities of intelligent systems. The curved lines symbolize dynamism, adaptability, and progress – but not as cold technology, rather as a harmonious interplay of human expertise and artificial intelligence.

The color scheme of deep blue, bright cyan, and subtle violet tones conveys trust, technological innovation, and future orientation. Blue stands for stability and professionalism, while the violet accents embody creativity, transformation, and visionary thinking.

The slogan "From Complexity to Clarity." summarizes the brand's philosophy in a single sentence. It describes the ambition to not overwhelm companies with technology, but to make AI understandable, strategic, and meaningful. The logo is thus not only a visual symbol but a graphic representation of the mission of ConsultingServices.Ai: to guide companies safely and intelligently through the transformation of the digital future.
