Building a European Consulting AI-and-Data Practice in 90 Days (CSRD + AI Act + Industrial DataSpace)

Build a productised European AI-and-data practice from scratch in 90 days. CSRD overlay + EU AI Act compliance pack + Gaia-X DataSpace integration + delivery model + pricing.

European clients now demand AI-and-data engagements with CSRD overlay, EU AI Act compliance pack, and Gaia-X/Industrial DataSpace integration from day one. Practices that ship these as a productised offer capture the next wave of EU engagements. Here is the 90-day build.

$199 one-time
Tailored to your situation. Access within 24 hours. 30-day money-back.

Includes a hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access, generated for your specific situation.

Why this course

European clients running parallel transformation programmes (CSRD reporting, EU AI Act compliance, Industrial DataSpace participation, NIS2 cybersecurity) now expect their consulting partner to ship integrated AI-and-data engagements that satisfy all four regimes. Generic global AI-and-data offerings do not. European-specific overlays (CSRD ESRS reporting, EU AI Act Article 9-15 implementation, Gaia-X label compliance for Industrial DataSpace participation, NIS2 incident reporting for in-scope entities) require deliberate productisation.

This course teaches the 90-day European AI-and-data practice build: capability pack design with European overlays, CSRD-aligned data architecture, EU AI Act conformance documentation, Industrial DataSpace integration patterns, delivery model with European data-sovereignty constraints, pricing model for European procurement realities, and the partner channel (Microsoft Azure EU Data Boundary, Google EU Sovereign Cloud, Hyperscaler-with-EU-trust-services). Twelve modules with deliverables. Plus a hand-built implementation playbook for your specific European practice.

What you walk away with

  • A documented capability pack for European AI-and-data engagements.
  • A CSRD-aligned data-architecture reference.
  • An EU AI Act conformance documentation template.
  • An Industrial DataSpace integration pattern.
  • A delivery model for European data-sovereignty constraints.
  • A European pricing model.
  • A partner-channel strategy (hyperscaler EU sovereignty).
  • A 90-day practice build plan.

The 12 modules

Module 1. European AI-and-data regulatory landscape 2026
Detailed walkthrough of CSRD (EU 2022/2464), EU AI Act (EU 2024/1689), NIS2, DORA (financial), Data Governance Act, Data Act, Gaia-X / IDSA (International Data Spaces Association), national-jurisdiction adoption (UK SDR, FR ANSSI, DE BSI, IT ACN), and the interoperability framework. How the regimes interact for a multi-jurisdiction EU client.
Module 2. Capability pack design for European engagements
Build the capability pack: pre-built code modules for CSRD data ingestion, EU AI Act risk-determination workflows, Gaia-X label compliance harness, NIS2 incident-reporting connector, plus regulatory-overlay tagging convention. The pack structure that compresses a European engagement kickoff to first prototype in 5 days. Three worked examples from European peer practices.
Module 3. CSRD-aligned data architecture
Build the CSRD-aligned data architecture: ESRS disclosure data model, Scope 1/2/3 emissions ingestion (GHG Protocol + PCAF + IAE), double-materiality assessment data pipeline, XBRL tagging pipeline for ESRS digital reporting, lineage capture for limited-assurance readiness, and assurance-engagement evidence pack. The architecture that satisfies CSRD AND integrates with client analytics.
Module 4. EU AI Act conformance documentation pack
Build the EU AI Act conformance documentation: Article 6 high-risk classification matrix, Article 9 risk-management system template, Article 10 data-governance template, Article 11 technical-documentation pack, Article 13 transparency-and-information template, Article 14 human-oversight design, Article 15 accuracy-robustness-cybersecurity framework. Three worked AI Act conformance packs from European AI engagements.
Module 5. Industrial DataSpace and Gaia-X integration
Build the Industrial DataSpace integration: IDSA Reference Architecture Model alignment, Connector deployment (Eclipse Dataspace Components, FIWARE TRUE Connector), Gaia-X label compliance (Trust, Conformity, Open), federated catalog participation, and the data-product packaging model. How DataSpace participation extends client data-monetisation while preserving sovereignty.
Module 6. European data-sovereignty delivery model
Build the delivery model for European data-sovereignty constraints: data-residency requirements by client jurisdiction, cross-border-transfer SCCs management, hyperscaler EU sovereignty options (Microsoft Azure EU Data Boundary, Google EU Sovereign Cloud, AWS European Sovereign Cloud, Oracle EU Sovereign Cloud), sovereign-cloud-only vs hybrid model selection, and on-prem-considerations. Three worked engagement delivery models.
Module 7. NIS2 and DORA cybersecurity overlay
Build the NIS2 (EU 2022/2555) and DORA (EU 2022/2554 for financial services) overlay: in-scope determination per Annex I/II of NIS2, incident-classification matrix per NIS2 Article 23, incident-reporting workflow with 24h/72h/1m timelines, supply-chain security per NIS2 Article 21(2)(d), and DORA ICT third-party register integration. The cybersecurity layer that strengthens every engagement.
Module 8. European pricing model
Build the European pricing model: fixed-fee project (predictable for EU procurement), retainer (multi-year framework agreement compatible), outcome-based (KPI-anchored, popular in DE/NL), and capacity-based (UK preferred). EU public-procurement compliance (PIN notice, OJEU advertisement, competitive procedure with negotiation), framework-agreement compatibility, and the discount discipline. Three pricing patterns across France, Germany, Netherlands, UK, Italy.
Module 9. Partner-channel strategy (hyperscaler EU sovereignty)
Build the partner-channel strategy: Microsoft Azure EU Data Boundary partnership, Google Cloud EU Sovereign Cloud partnership, AWS European Sovereign Cloud partnership, Oracle EU Sovereign Cloud partnership, sovereign-cloud specialist partnerships (SAP, Schwarz Group, Bleu, S3NS), and the Gaia-X service catalog participation. Partner alignment that compresses engagement cost-to-value.
Module 10. Delivery team operating model for European engagements
Build the delivery team operating model: onshore-EU (premium delivery, sovereignty client), near-shore-EU (cost, regulatory alignment), offshore (cost), AI-augmented (capability multiplier). The talent-mix model that balances client sovereignty preference, cost, and capability. Centre-of-excellence model for European regulatory expertise. Three operating-model patterns from European peer practices.
Module 11. Sales enablement and EU procurement
Build the sales enablement: positioning statement for European clients, demo emphasising regulatory readiness, ROI calculator with EU regulatory cost-of-non-compliance, EU case studies (3 minimum), competitive battlecards against Big4 + boutique sovereign-cloud-specialist firms, and the EU procurement-process navigation (PIN, OJEU, framework agreements). Sales enablement that wins European RFPs.
Module 12. Your 90-day practice build plan
Week-by-week plan with weekly deliverables. Weeks 1-2: regulatory landscape mapping + capability pack target selection. Weeks 3-4: CSRD-aligned data architecture + EU AI Act conformance pack v1. Weeks 5-6: Industrial DataSpace integration + NIS2/DORA overlay. Weeks 7-8: delivery model + European pricing model. Weeks 9-10: partner-channel strategy + operating model. Weeks 11-12: sales enablement + practice launch. Deliverable: full European AI-and-data practice.

Before and after

Before

Your firm has generic global AI-and-data offerings. European clients ask for CSRD overlay, EU AI Act compliance, and Industrial DataSpace participation but you ship custom builds engagement-by-engagement. Margin is compressed.

After

A productised European AI-and-data practice is live. Pre-built capability pack with European overlays. CSRD architecture, EU AI Act conformance pack, Industrial DataSpace integration. European data-sovereignty delivery model. European pricing. Partner-channel strategy. Sales selling first engagements.

What happens if you do not address this

European RFPs increasingly require CSRD overlay, EU AI Act conformance, and Industrial DataSpace participation. Firms without a productised European practice lose engagements to firms that have one.

Who it is for

For C-level executives, practice leaders, and AI-and-data capability owners at European consulting firms productising AI-and-data offerings for EU clients.

Who this is NOT for. Pure research roles. Firms not building AI-and-data practices. Firms with no EU client exposure.

How it arrives

Text-based course via LMS, plus downloadable templates and the hand-built implementation playbook.

Time investment. Roughly 22 hours of reading and 200 to 400 hours of team effort across the 90-day build.

Why $199 is the right number

External productisation consultants charge 300K-1.5M EUR for European practice builds. Big4 advisory engagement runs 500K-2M EUR. Sovereign-cloud specialist firms charge 200K-1M EUR for regulatory overlay integration. 199 USD buys the focused playbook plus the implementation document for your specific European practice profile.

FAQ

Will this replace hiring a productisation consultant?
Partially. It teaches you the practice build. You may still want specialist input for novel-jurisdiction sovereignty requirements.
What if my firm is primarily UK-anchored (post-Brexit considerations)?
Module 1 covers UK SDR and UK-EU regulatory equivalence as overlay.
Does this cover the EU AI Liability Directive overlap?
Module 4 covers AI Liability Directive boundaries with EU AI Act.
What about France-specific (CNIL, ANSSI), Germany-specific (BSI), Italy-specific (ACN) overlays?
Module 1 walks through each jurisdiction-specific overlay.
What is in the implementation playbook for me specifically?
A capability pack tailored to your specific European client engagement profile; CSRD + EU AI Act + DataSpace patterns matched to your tech stack; a 90-day build plan.
