Early Warning Systems for Family Businesses

Identifying Risks Early Creates Room for Maneuver

Economic crises rarely occur without warning. In most cases, critical developments can be identified well in advance. The key is to recognize the right signals, assess them correctly, and take decisive action. Professional advisory and supervisory boards, as well as executive management teams, create transparency before risks become critical. In this Executive Program, you will learn how to identify financial distress at an early stage, assess risks on a sound basis, and make better decisions using a scientifically grounded early warning system.

Digital Transformation & AI

Driving and Implementing Change Effectively

Digital transformation is no longer a one-off initiative but an ongoing responsibility. In particular, artificial intelligence is rapidly changing what organizations need to achieve—and how they can achieve it. Specialists and managers often find themselves caught between abstract strategy papers and day-to-day operations, without practical tools to effectively drive digital transformation and AI within their own area of responsibility. This is exactly where the “Digital Transformation & AI” program comes in: a compact, application-oriented program that combines knowledge, capability, and implementation-supported by clear methodologies, a personal action plan, and the opportunity to exchange with peers in similar roles. Die Weiterbildung „Digitale Transformation & KI“ setzt genau hier an: ein kompaktes, anwendungsorientiertes Programm, das Wissen, Fähigkeit und Umsetzungsenergie zusammenbringt – mit klarer Methodik, persönlichem Wirkungsplan und der Möglichkeit, sich mit anderen Verantwortungsträgern auszutauschen.

AI as a Colleague

Human–AI Collaboration

Artificial intelligence is transforming not only work processes, but also the way people collaborate, make decisions, and take responsibility. While some experience AI as a helpful tool, others approach it with skepticism or uncertainty—depending on their experience, role, and context of use. Between real-world applications and futuristic visions, questions arise about what collaboration feels like when the “colleague” is no longer human, which psychological mechanisms are at play, and where the boundary lies between extremes and everyday reality.
