boardroom.
Confidence in the stack.

/ Architecture & Operations

Enterprise architecture
that pays back.

Cloud, hybrid, on-premises — designed for control, resilience and total cost you can defend.

/ AI Transformation

AI you can
actually deploy.

From EU AI Act deployer duties to internal copilots — an AI programme built on evidence, not hype.

Independent. European. Vendor-neutral. / Trusted by CIOs and boards from Bratislava to Amsterdam.

02 / AI Strategy

AI that clears the boardroom, the auditor and the user.

Most AI programmes fail on governance, not modelling. We help European enterprises assemble the missing layer — a governed portfolio of AI use-cases, deployer-side controls under the EU AI Act, and a delivery path that survives contact with production.

  • AI opportunity mapping and value case
  • EU AI Act deployer duties & risk classification
  • Data, RAG and copilot architecture reviews
  • Vendor selection: SaaS, private cloud, on-premises
  • Rollout, adoption and change management

03 / How we work

Our approach

Short engagements. Written outputs your team can actually use. No hidden implementation kickbacks.

01

Listen

Structured interviews with sponsors, operators and end users. We map what is really happening, not the org chart.

02

Frame

A written thesis on the decision at hand — options, risks, costs and second-order effects — in language the board will read.

03

Design

Reference architectures, target operating models and governance artefacts your teams can execute against.

04

Steward

Optional embedded advisory during rollout — chair reviews, unblock decisions, keep the plan honest.

05 / Who we are

A small, senior team.

RED ARROW Advisory is a boutique consulting practice based in Central Europe. We work exclusively with enterprises that need experienced hands at the table — CIOs modernising a group IT function, CFOs replacing finance platforms, boards forming an AI position.

Every engagement is led by a senior partner. We stay small on purpose.
