Control your AI.
Master your environment.
Own your Transformation.
What we do
We work with the owners, executives and managers of European mid-market companies to help them strategically transform their business to be fit for and autonomous in the AI-enabled connected economy, while remaining in control of their business. We help them own their transformation.
Executive & Board Workshops
Strategic framing for boards navigating AI and sustainability transformation. Wardley-mapped sessions that turn ambiguous strategic questions into prioritised options the board can act on. Prepared in advance and culminating in a debrief, our sessions are available as half-day or full-day formats.
Laminar Transformation Lab
Our core methodology. We deploy at a neutral location or in your premises for 5 to 60 business days with prototyping tools, strategic mapping, and our expertise. You will walk away with demonstrable pilots or operational systems based on your data, rather than slideware on what might be implemented
Strategic Implementation
Partner-led delivery for transformation programmes past the diagnostic stage. We take responsibility for guiding your teams in delivering pilots and operational solutions, while developing expertise and the capability to make transformation happen. Our contribution is concrete and tangible.
We work for clients in
manufacturing, distribution, engineering and services.
Labs
Laminar Praxis runs an active R&D programme alongside its client work. We build sovereign-AI tools to address governance, sustainability, and procurement challenges that consulting cannot solve from the outside. These tools are made available to clients selectively, on terms appropriate to their stage of development. We do not sell finished products from a catalogue.
BoardMind
The board governance AI you can trust: sovereign, sourced, auditable.
Boards and directors navigate increasingly complex matters and face mounting risks and liabilities. From uninsurable exposure to personal responsibility for matters as diverse as environmental protection and cybersecurity compliance, it is more challenging than ever to act as a competent steward in the interest of the company and its shareholders.
BoardMind is a reliable and discreet companion to Boards and directors, offering fast access to regulatory and governance intelligence. On-premise appliance, your conversations never leave the room, while you can operate multiple jurisdictions concurrently.
TenderMind
The public tender AI you can act on: tailored, comprehensive, timely.
Even as EU standardisation advances through initiatives like the Public Procurement Data Space, bid managers and commercial directors still operate across fragmented national platforms, languages, and procedures. Identifying the right opportunities for your business and assembling compliant responses remains a race against the clock.
TenderMind delivers AI-powered tender intelligence across Switzerland and the European Union. It learns your company’s capabilities and qualification criteria, surfaces the opportunities that fit, and supports the right response, before the window closes.
PlanetMind
The sustainability AI you can rely on: sovereign, scientific, traceable.
Businesses face sustainability obligations that are being recalibrated, not rolled back. CSRD ceilings have been raised, but the Ecodesign Regulation is extending Digital Product Passport requirements across nearly all physical products entering the EU market. Evidence increasingly needs to be rooted in physical reality.
PlanetMind delivers biophysical sustainability intelligence for boards and operational leadership. Physical flows of energy, materials, and emissions are the primary data, while compliance reporting and monetary valuations are derived views, not the other way around. Every figure traces back to its physical source.
Access to these tools
We will be happy to organise a demo for you and to discuss how our products and AI augmented methods for product development can help you address specific challenges or pain points you may have. Please use the dedicated contact form to requests a demo.
The only sustainable competitive advantage is an organization’s ability to learn faster than the competition.

Alexandre Papanastassiou
Partner
Two decades advising owners, boards, and executive teams across Europe on strategy, transformation, and governance. Cross-industry experience with a track record in M&A integration. Teaches at ULB / Solvay. His research bridges digital transformation, sustainability and complexity.
At Laminar Praxis, he shapes strategy that can actually be executed by clients. Helps align owners, boards, and operating teams around decisions that hold under pressure, translating between disciplines so AI, sustainability, and business model questions are addressed as one transformation rather than three competing initiatives.
AI is a superpower for high agency individuals. It allows what used to take a person weeks to do to be finished in an hour now. However, for low agency individuals, AI carries the risk of turning into a comfort zone that removes the necessity of thinking.
