First TÜV-certified AI consultant in Austria.
I connect AI competence, learning and organisational transformation — turning new technologies into lasting structures for people and organisations.

MY ROLE
My role is often to create clarity. I structure complex AI questions and bring the right professional perspectives together.
The work itself is collaborative. Together with my team, we develop learning pathways, use cases and lasting structures. We support implementation by asking what fits the organisation and how people can work with it meaningfully.
INDUSTRIES & USE CASES
AI looks different in every organisation. Yet the fundamental questions recur: where does it create real value? What competence do people need? Which data can be used? Who is responsible, and how can application be made traceable?
As the Institute team, we work across industries and types of organisation. Our shared projects, training and transformation work give us a perspective beyond individual tools and business models.
Banking & finance
In the Raiffeisen/MODAL education context, different employee roles share common requirements. In our work together, we connect learning pathways with responsible application and documentation.
Automotive
In the Autohaus Waldviertel project context, we examine existing processes: reporting, sales files and data reconciliation become concrete use-case questions. Voice AI likewise needs to be assessed against tasks, interfaces and clear responsibilities.
Municipalities & regional development
The LEADER Waldviertler Wohlviertel project involves 18 municipalities. We connect training and individual guidelines with the demands of local government.
Hospitality & tourism
My professional background in hospitality and gastronomy shapes this perspective: an application needs to fit the operation, its employees and its relationships with guests. Administrative support only helps when service and responsibility remain in view.
Gastronomy & food
Operations, communication and administration involve many small, recurring tasks. Together, we look at where AI can free up time and attention, and where human review needs to remain part of the workflow.
Trade & wholesale
In wholesale, useful AI applications depend on data quality and accessible knowledge. We ask not only what can be automated, but which information people need to make reliable decisions.
Transport & logistics
Recurring documents and information steps are a useful starting point for use cases. Before considering automation, we clarify handovers, exceptions and responsibility for review.
Environmental services & infrastructure
Building competence at scale takes more than a single training session. Role-based learning, internal exchange and an AI community can help develop practical application in everyday work.
Communication, PR & marketing
The ikp-group context connects AI competence development with qualification for communications work. Research and generation require judgement, source awareness and human quality control.
Advertising technology & creative industries
In the Austrian advertising technology and creative context, new image, video and avatar applications meet concrete briefs. We consider client communication, research, costing and AI competence together, regardless of which tool is currently getting attention.
This shared experience helps us recognise patterns sooner and adapt solutions to each organisation, rather than simply copying them.
Explore Use Cases & InsightsI am particularly interested in what transfers from one industry to another — and what does not. A dealership works differently from a bank, a municipality differently from a hotel. But everywhere, AI needs people who understand what they are doing and structures that make responsibility possible.

MY APPROACH
My approach starts with the task, the people and the organisation behind it, rather than the tool.
Start with the real task. Then decide which technology helps.
Roles, responsibilities and documentation matter from the start.
Competence and adoption determine whether AI works in everyday life.
Learning systems need room to grow with people and organisations.
SPEAKING
Florentina Zach speaks at keynotes, panels, podcasts and professional events about AI competence, governance, responsible application and organisational transformation.
