HBC Hohn Business Consulting UG Verified Company

HBC Hohn Business Consulting is an independent, Berlin-based operations & AI consultancy helping ambitious SMEs turn artificial intelligence into measurable business value.

We work with managing directors, owners and leadership teams both internationally and the DACH region. Our focus is not AI for its own sake, but the two or three processes where it can genuinely reduce cost, save time, improve quality or relieve employees.

Our approach starts with the business problem, followed by a clear success metric, the right technology and the people who will use it. Typical engagements include:

• AI potential analysis: a focused two-day review of workflows, feasibility, expected effort, risks and projected savings.
• Measurable pilots: implementation of one defined workflow within six to eight weeks, evaluated against agreed KPIs.
• AI strategy and roadmaps: practical prioritisation of use cases, investment decisions and implementation steps.
• Governance and compliance: preparation for the EU AI Act, GDPR, liability, copyright, shadow AI and works council involvement.
• Workforce enablement: structured, practical training for employees and executives through the AZAV-accredited Edura Akademie.
• Executive advisory: ongoing support for decisions at the intersection of technology, strategy, labour law and staff adoption.

Relevant use cases include document analysis, proposal workflows, customer service, internal knowledge systems and RAG, and automated case processing.

What makes HBC different is direct entrepreneurial experience. Founder Philip Hohn has built and managed companies since 2004, including a software development agency with up to 15 engineers and an international social media agency with up to 70 employees. Today, he continues to run and hold operating businesses in education, digital services, platforms and hospitality. The AI systems and automations HBC recommends are tested in these businesses under real operating conditions first.

HBC is vendor-independent, pragmatic and outcome-focused. Clients receive clear priorities, realistic assessments and solutions their teams can understand, operate and develop further—without unnecessary complexity or long-term dependence on external providers.
