Strategy, Governance & Implementation
We combine strategic foresight with industry-specific compliance and technical process implementation.
Level 1: Legal Certainty & Governance
Eliminate Shadow IT, Establish Clear Guardrails
Many employees already use private AI tools informally at work. We replace this gray zone with a clear AI directive approved by the executive council and a verified technical environment.
- Eliminating Shadow IT: Binding AI usage directives for municipal staff, chancelleries, and specialist offices.
- IDG & DPIA Compliance: Clean Data Protection Impact Assessments under cantonal information and privacy acts.
- Role & Zone Architecture: Strict separation between public information, internal records, and official secrecy.
Level 2: Administrative Efficiency
Relief Across Chancellery, Building & Specialist Offices
We analyze your most time-consuming workflows – from council minutes and building permit checks to answering parliamentary inquiries – and set up tailored AI workflows under the four-eyes principle.
- Council & Committee Minutes: Structured drafts for municipal council, city council, and committee protocols.
- Building & Regulation Checks: Fast cross-checking of permit applications and citizen inquiries against local regulations.
- Rulings & Parliamentary Motions: Citation-backed drafts for administrative decisions, objections, and political inquiries.
Level 3: Modern Citizen Service
Accessible, Multilingual Public Service
When residents can get reliable, round-the-clock answers on opening hours, fees, relocation, or building codes on the municipal website, phone and email volume drops noticeably.
- 24/7 Digital Counter: Verified citizen assistants on the municipal website referencing official fact sheets.
- Plain Language & Multilingualism: Accessible translation of complex administrative texts in line with eCH-0059.
- Counter & Phone Relief: Noticeably fewer routine calls for resident services, tax offices, and public works.

- Predictive Infrastructure Planning: Data-driven forecasting for school space planning, demographic shifts, energy utilities, and HRM2 budgeting.
- Inter-Municipal Synergies: Shared, multi-tenant AI specialist modules for municipal associations and regional administrations.

Approach
What Are the Next Steps?
Discovery Call (Free)
We discuss your goals with you and clarify without obligation where AI has the greatest leverage in your company. Together we define the framework for a potential collaboration.
Deep Dive Audit
We analyze your data and processes to uncover concrete automation potentials. We prioritize the use cases that deliver the highest ROI.
Pilot Phase
Instead of pure theory, we implement a working pilot project in a selected area. This proves measurable value risk-free before larger investments are made.
Scaling
We roll out the solution, empower your team through training, and establish Swiss FADP-compliant guidelines for sustainable, secure operation.
Answers for Decision-Makers
01Do you also help us prepare proposals for the municipal council, city council, or data protection commissioner?
- Yes. We prepare decision-ready council motions, budget proposals, AI usage directives, and Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA) so you can present the initiative confidently to the executive body or data protection supervisory authority.
02How do we prevent a citizen chatbot from giving incorrect legal advice?
- Our public-sector assistants use strict grounding (RAG): the system may only use information contained in your approved municipal regulations, fact sheets, and website pages, and always provides a direct link to the official source. If a question is not covered there, the assistant politely refers the citizen to the responsible department.
03Is your consulting also suitable for small and mid-sized Swiss municipalities?
- Small and mid-sized municipal administrations benefit tremendously because the chancellery team covers a vast range of responsibilities. We offer lean, immediately actionable consulting packages that work without a large in-house IT department.
04How does an AI consulting project in public administration typically begin?
- After the free initial call, most municipalities and agencies start with a compact foundation package: 1. Drafting the official AI directive, 2. Selecting and securing the appropriate tool environment, 3. Hands-on training for administrative staff using real daily tasks.
