Dear network,

I’m excited to announce my next entrepreneurial chapter: the official launch of Cirql One – a Data & AI boutique helping organizations to successfully derive tangible business value from AI. Our particular focus is to be a trusted partner in managing the golden triangle of AI success: People, Data and AI.

The past months have been inspiring, challenging and immensely rewarding as we formed a strong team, established our operations and built our offerings – all below the radar. Hence, a huge thank you goes to the wonderful people at Cirql One, whose commitment, creativity and passion brought this vision to life.

I want to especially thank Stefan Hockenberger, whose trust and organizational skill as Co-Founder and Managing Director have been instrumental in turning Cirql One into reality. Stefan, thanks for your partnership!

Along the way, I’ve been fortunate to draw inspiration and wisdom from amazing people who have generously shared their insights and acted as a sounding board. Many thanks Alexander Zeier, Stefan Meeder, Carsten Ackermann, Niels Rasmussen, Verena Maier, Silke Steinhauser, Christian Freytag, Hans Uebe, Petra Pirron, Kevin Köhler and Lauri Wessel. You have all contributed profoundly to what is now born under the name Cirql One.

In the upcoming weeks we will share details of our first projects and customer outcomes and launch 2 more offerings for AI-powered SAP reporting and our dedicated AI use case methodology.

Here’s to the future of Cirql One!

The Dunning–Kruger Effect of AI Adoption

Confidence in AI often outpaces competence. While 61% of leaders believe AI is fully implemented, only 36% of employees agree. The Dunning-Kruger Effect reveals the gap: enthusiasm from experimenting with ChatGPT isn’t the same as building enterprise AI capability.

Humble leadership builds lasting AI capability, not quick headlines.
