What AIvolve Leadership Dynamics does

AIvolve Leadership Dynamics GmbH is a Zürich-based, privately held leadership development firm focused on equipping executives, government leaders, and university institutions to lead responsibly in AI-driven environments. The company operates a lean 1-10 person team supplemented by a global expert network of senior practitioners, academics, and AI specialists with 20-30 years of transformation experience across Europe, the Americas, and Asia, with co-founders Frank Lieber (CEO) and Tina Lieber (Head of Innovation & Research, Harvard Business Review Council member) anchoring delivery.

The company's core technology is HARS (Human-AI Readiness Scan), a proprietary AI-supported, modular self-reflection assessment tool that evaluates leaders' readiness for AI-driven environments using psychological frameworks, peer benchmarking, and personalized development pathways. HARS anchors a broader portfolio of programs including the flagship EU AI Act-certified "Responsible Leadership in Times of AI" one-week hybrid program (developed in collaboration with DHBW CAS, Hochschule Heilbronn, TUM Heilbronn, and Fraunhofer ISI), a 2-day AI & EI Leadership Essentials program, custom enterprise workshops, AI-informed executive coaching, and end-to-end AI transformation consulting. Programs are delivered via hybrid formats anchored at IPAI Innovation Park at Bildungscampus Heilbronn.

AIvolve generates revenue exclusively through professional services: HARS assessments, customized leadership development programs, executive advisory, and coaching. Pricing is quote-based and tailored to organizational needs, with no public pricing or standard tiers disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led and event-driven, combining direct enterprise outreach with a regional partner distribution network spanning the USA, Asia, the Middle East/Africa, and Bangladesh, alongside an active global conference presence at forums such as the World Economic Forum Davos, GITEX Europe, and Smart City Expo Barcelona. The firm is bootstrapped, founder-owned, and has not disclosed any external funding rounds.
