AI Readiness Scan
Most organizations are using AI in pockets. Few have a strategy that spans leadership, people, processes, and technology. The AI Readiness Scan maps exactly where you stand across all four dimensions.
In 2–3 weeks, we interview your leadership, review your current AI usage, and assess your culture and processes. You receive a scorecard with prioritized gaps and a concrete 90-day action plan.
Low commitment. High insight. A clear path forward.
Fractional AI Leadership
For companies that need sustained momentum, not a one-off report. As your fractional CTO or AI Lead, I join your leadership team part-time — guiding decisions, aligning strategy, and building the internal capability to make AI transformation stick.
Format
-
1–3 days per week, flexible
-
Embedded in your leadership team
-
AI strategy, architecture & governance

AI Strategy & Advisory
AI strategy without organizational context is just a slide deck. We work directly with leadership teams to build an AI roadmap that is grounded in your business model, your people, and your competitive reality.
Engagements are focused and time-bound — typically 1 to 6 months — with a clear deliverable your leadership team and engineering teams can act on immediately.

AI vision and 12-month roadmap

Board-level investment framing

Prioritized use cases with ROI logic

Workshops & public speaking
AI is only as powerful as the people using it.
We run hands-on workshops and leadership sessions to build real capability inside your organization — not just awareness of tools.
Topics span the full transformation spectrum: AI strategy for leadership, responsible AI adoption, redesigning workflows with AI, building AI-native team cultures and hands-on AI agent development.

Max 12 persons per group

Technical Due Diligence

-
Codebase & architecture quality
-
AI and data infrastructure

What our clients say about us
Digital ink
DGTL ink — pronounced Digital Ink — is an AI transformation consultancy based in Amsterdam, founded by Dirk Gietelink. The name honours his username from his Artificial Intelligence Master's studies in the late '90s. Digital ink is where technology meets the human touch required to make transformation stick.
Every company nowadays is a tech company! Even if your core business isn't tech, you will likely meet technological hurdles in an early or moderate stage of growth. Entrepreneurs bring an amazing business idea to life, but often don’t have the ability to fully oversee the technical complexities, requirements and priorities when it comes to building and scaling a platform for your business. This slows down the desired growth and creates a vacuum between the management and their tech department, which is often experienced as a lack of control.
DGTL ink specializes in consultancy, that bridges the gap between company senior (tech) management and the tech teams, in order to bring an effective toolset and process improvements to be more in control. This is accomplished via our AI Readiness Scan, via Technical Due Diligence, via Fractional Tech Leadership and via workshops for senior leadership and technical teams.
