Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Strategy + Planning Quick-Check

Why do a quick check when the project is already clear?

Because “clearly decided” does not automatically mean “clearly understood,” and often goals, solutions, and approaches have not yet been validated by everyone.

The quick check verifies whether the goal, benefits, and approach are truly compatible—before time and money are invested incorrectly.

What else can the results of the quick check be used for?

As a common basis for decision-making and communication:

for prioritization, clear project assignments, roadmaps, budget arguments, and subsequent performance measurement.

The project was decided by management - why involve so many people?

Because implementation does not happen in the organizational chart.

The quick check incorporates specific knowledge without delegating decisions, which greatly reduces friction and resistance later on.

How time-consuming is a quick check like this?

Deliberately short and focused:

Usually a few interviews + a compact workshop. Effort in days - savings often in months.

How does management maintain leadership when there is such broad analysis and discussion?

By specifying the goal, framework, and decision-making logic.

The quick check broadens the perspective - the decision clearly remains with management.

FAQ – Why does AI mentor Samy recommend a quick check?

Why does Samy often recommend a quick check first instead of starting right away?

Because AI is only helpful when the goal, context, and decision-making framework are clear. The quick check creates precisely this basis.

What does Samy notice in the quick check that is often overlooked?

Contradictions between strategy, planning, expectations, and reality—early on, before they become costly.

Is the quick check a management review?

No. It is a tool for better leadership, not for questioning decisions.​

Why does AI need human assessments at all?

Because many crucial factors are not reflected in data: experiences, friction, implicit assumptions.

When is a quick check not necessary from Samy's point of view?

When the goal, benefits, roles, and implementation are demonstrably clear and coordinated. This is rarer than one might think.

Does AI such as Samy make the process cheaper and the results better?

Yes. AI significantly reduces the amount of analysis and coordination required while also improving the quality of the evaluation.​

This is precisely why large consulting firms are also investing heavily in AI - though usually with less transparency.

Quick-Check Interviews

How to plan innovations that deliver great benefits at low cost

In the quick-check interviews, Tolksdorf.digital works with the departments and specialist areas to compile data for a holistic, systemic value stream analysis. The number of events, volumes, and affected locations are weighted and correlated.

• Benefit: Clear and reliable basis for projects, priorities, and planning.

• Guiding principle and goal: was established in the initial meeting

• Preparation: Subject-specific documents

• Effort: Approximately 1/2 working day per department on the customer side, 3-5 working days on the Tolksdorf.digital side for transformation engineering. The cost framework agreed upon in the orientation workshop applies.

• Result: Report with recommendations for joint discussion and as a template for planning by business/division management.
