Business use cases

Adopting AI in a company is not simply a matter of subscribing your employees to ChatGPT. It requires a structured skills development programme, tailored to the real use cases of your organisation, and aligned with Swiss legal constraints (LPD, GDPR). Kleap supports your teams from initial awareness through to advanced business process automation, with a sovereign approach: the tools you learn to use run on servers hosted in Europe, and your data remains under your control.

Why train your teams in AI in 2026

The Swiss labour market is evolving rapidly. Job listings mentioning AI are multiplying quickly in Switzerland. The pressure does not come only from recruitment: it comes from within organisations. Employees who master AI tools write faster, analyse better, and automate repetitive tasks. Those who do not upskill face a growing productivity gap.

For managers, the challenge is strategic: how to integrate AI into processes without losing control of data, without exposing the company to legal risks, without depending on a single foreign provider? A well-designed training programme answers all three questions.

  • Many Swiss managers plan to receive AI training in the near future
  • A growing share of Swiss companies have already deployed AI at scale
  • Generative AI could automate a significant portion of professional activities in the coming years
  • In 2025, the Confederation introduced a new federal qualification: AI Business Specialist, a sign of official recognition of the need

For whom: training adapted to each profile

There is no universal AI training. The needs of a chief executive, an HR manager, and a developer are radically different. Kleap offers programmes calibrated to three main profiles.

  • Executives and decision-makers: understand the strategic implications of AI, identify high-value automation opportunities, frame data governance and LPD/GDPR compliance
  • Managers and team leaders: orchestrate the day-to-day adoption of AI, integrate tools into existing workflows, measure productivity gains
  • Operational staff and teams: master everyday AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Gemini), write effective instructions (prompt engineering), automate repetitive tasks
  • IT, data, and developer profiles: integrate AI agents into information systems, build automation workflows, deploy solutions on sovereign European infrastructure

Available training formats

Kleap adapts to your organisation's time constraints and level of maturity. Each format can be organised in person at your premises or online, in English.

  • Discovery workshop (half-day): fundamentals of generative AI, live demo, first business use cases. Ideal for building collective awareness
  • Practical workshop (full day): prompt engineering, AI tools by domain (writing, analysis, image, code), exercises using your own documents
  • Custom in-company training (2 to 5 days): programme built around your real processes, with post-training support included
  • Long-term support: AI maturity audit, transformation plan, gradual deployment, ongoing team training over 3 to 12 months
  • Executive session (2h): condensed session for leadership committees, focused on strategy, governance, and AI investment decisions

Programme: what your teams learn

Our training courses cover a structured common core organised into modules, which we adapt to your sector and your real use cases. The examples used during training come from your daily work, not generic cases.

  • Module 1: Fundamentals of generative AI. How large language models work, their real capabilities and limitations, differences between the main tools on the market
  • Module 2: Prompt engineering. Writing precise and reproducible instructions, structuring requests, using advanced techniques (few-shot, chain-of-thought, roles)
  • Module 3: Business use cases by department. HR (recruitment, onboarding, training), sales (prospecting, proposals, CRM), marketing (content, SEO, creatives), finance (reporting, analysis), legal (contracts, regulatory monitoring)
  • Module 4: Process automation. Building no-code workflows, connecting AI tools to existing applications (ERP, CRM, messaging), identifying priority tasks to automate
  • Module 5: AI agents and autonomous systems. Understanding and deploying AI agents on your internal data, with maintained human supervision
  • Module 6: Security, compliance, and governance. Swiss LPD, European GDPR, data sovereignty, handling of confidential information, corporate AI usage policies

The sovereign approach: why it changes everything

Most AI training programmes on the market teach the use of tools whose servers are based in the United States. For a Swiss SME or administration, this raises specific legal questions: where is the confidential data you enter into ChatGPT actually processed? Who can access it? Is it used to train future models?

Kleap takes a different position. We support organisations that want to control their AI chain end to end: tools hosted in Europe, open-source models running on EU servers, data not reused. This is not a marketing argument; it is a concrete response to the requirements of the LPD and the security policies of Swiss organisations.

  • Exclusively European hosting: the tools we deploy run on Hetzner servers in Germany and Finland, EU jurisdiction
  • Open-source model options: alternatives based on open-source models that avoid dependency on American providers
  • Data not reused for training: none of your session data feeds the models
  • LPD/GDPR compliance: support for internal AI policies and data processing documentation

Expected outcomes: concrete gains for your organisation

A well-run AI training programme produces measurable results. Here are the indicators our clients track after their sessions.

  • Significant reduction in writing time for recurring tasks (reports, emails, proposals, minutes)
  • Faster document analysis and competitive intelligence
  • Automation of low-value administrative tasks (data entry, sorting, formatting, summaries)
  • Better decision quality through rapid AI summaries on large volumes of data
  • Reduced time spent in meetings (automatic summaries, extracted action items)
  • Sustained adoption: employees trained on their real use cases continue using the tools after the training

Funding: how to reduce the cost of your AI training

In Switzerland, several schemes can significantly reduce the cost of AI training, depending on the nature of the training and the canton of residence.

  • Federal SERI subsidy: the Confederation subsidises a significant share of the costs of training leading to a federal examination (ceilings defined by the Confederation). Automatic for anyone resident in Switzerland
  • Annual Training Voucher (CAF) in Genève: a training support scheme for Genève residents, which can be combined with the SERI subsidy
  • FONPRO in Vaud: the Vaud joint fund can cover part of the continuing education costs for private-sector employees
  • Employer funding: many Swiss companies cover their employees' AI training, sometimes in full. Training can be recorded as a deductible continuing education expense
  • Tax deductions: training costs are deductible at the federal and cantonal levels (ceilings defined by each authority)
  • In-company training: for a group of 5 to 20 employees, the per-person cost of a custom training programme is often lower than that of an individual inter-company course

One-off training or supported transformation: how to choose

Two approaches coexist on the market, with different objectives. Understanding the difference helps you calibrate your investment.

  • One-off training: ideal for rapid collective awareness, onboarding on a specific tool, or initiating a team. Result: understanding and initial experimentation
  • Transformation support: suited to organisations that want to integrate AI into their processes on a lasting basis. Includes a maturity audit, a deployment plan, progressive training, and post-training follow-up
  • In-company vs. inter-company: in-company ensures that examples, data, and deliverables match your reality; inter-company brings the diversity of exchanges between peers from different organisations
  • Kleap offers both models, with a systematic recommendation based on an initial interview

Three ways to work with Kleap

Kleap is not just a training organisation: it is a partner for your organisation's AI transformation. Depending on your situation, three paths are available.

  • Path 1: Training only. We train your teams on your use cases and you leave with the skills in-house
  • Path 2: Training and project support. After training, our consultants support you in deploying the first AI tools in your processes (business software, internal portals, AI agents)
  • Path 3: Full delivery. If you do not have the resources in-house, our network of providers (agency Lionscreative and certified partners) designs and deploys the AI solution on your behalf, from audit to production

How a Kleap training works: from the initial interview to practice

01

Scoping interview (free, 30 min)

A Kleap expert discusses your sector, your teams, your current tools, and your priority use cases. This interview is free and without commitment. It is used to define the appropriate format and programme.

02

Custom proposal

You receive a proposal detailing the programme, modules, deliverables, format (in person or online), duration, and pricing. We systematically mention the funding schemes applicable to your situation.

03

Training and practical workshops

Training takes place using examples drawn from your own documents and processes. Each module alternates between brief theory and practical exercises. Participants leave with concrete deliverables (prompt templates, workflows, internal guides).

04

Post-training follow-up

Access to educational resources is maintained for 12 months. For longer support programmes, follow-up sessions help embed new practices and adjust the programme as adoption progresses.

Frequently asked questions

Do you need technical knowledge to take an AI training course with Kleap?

No. Our training programmes are designed for non-technical profiles. We start from scratch with the tools and adapt the level to the audience. For IT or data profiles, advanced modules (AI agents, API integrations, deployment on sovereign infrastructure) are available.

Which AI tools are covered in your training?

We cover the most widely used tools in business: ChatGPT (OpenAI), Claude (Anthropic), Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini, Perplexity, as well as automation tools such as Make (formerly Integromat) and n8n. For organisations concerned about sovereignty, we also present open-source alternatives hosted in Europe.

Can AI training be funded through the SERI subsidy or cantonal support schemes?

Yes, depending on the type of training. The federal SERI subsidy covers a significant share of costs for training leading to a recognised federal examination. The Annual Training Voucher (CAF) in Genève supports training for Genève residents. The Vaud FONPRO can cover part of the costs for private-sector employees in Vaud. During the scoping interview, we will clarify which schemes apply to your situation.

Do you offer on-site training at our premises in French-speaking Switzerland?

Yes. We provide in-person training in Genève, Lausanne, Fribourg, Neuchâtel, Sion, Delémont, and their surrounding areas. For distributed teams or remote workers, our training programmes are available online with the same content and the same quality of facilitation.

What is the difference between an introductory workshop and an AI transformation support programme?

An introductory workshop (half-day to one day) aims to build shared understanding and provide first-hand experience with the tools. A transformation support programme is a longer engagement (3 to 12 months) that includes a maturity audit, a deployment plan, progressive team training, and regular follow-up. One gives you the keys; the other guarantees adoption.

How do you guarantee compliance with the Swiss LPD and GDPR?

Legal compliance is part of our training (dedicated module). On the tools side, we recommend and deploy solutions with European hosting (Hetzner, EU), using open-source models that do not send your data to third-party servers. We also support the drafting of internal AI usage policies for your teams.

Do Kleap training programmes lead to a certificate or an attestation?

All training programmes result in a participation certificate. For certified programmes recognised by the Confederation (Federal Certificate AI Business Specialist), we guide you towards the official pathways and can support your application.

What is the maximum number of participants per session?

To guarantee the quality of exchanges and the time for individual support, we limit workshops to a maximum of 15 participants. Beyond that, we recommend splitting into several groups or planning a train-the-trainer format.

Do you offer training for cantonal or federal public administrations?

Yes. We support public organisations with particular attention to data sovereignty and compliance constraints. Our training programmes incorporate the specificities of the Swiss legal framework (LPD, FODT circulars on AI in public administration).

How do you measure the return on investment of AI training?

We define measurable indicators with each client before the training: average time to write a report, volume of tickets processed, response time to client requests. A review at 30 and 90 days post-training allows us to quantify the real gains and adjust practices.
