Statement
To what extent were your expectations of the program content fulfilled? What aspects did you like?
”I was particularly impressed by the realistic, practical implementation of what I had learned: The small, heterogeneous teams with different backgrounds and packed schedules reflect everyday business life very well. Experiencing that the theory of 10-week sprints can also work in such teams is evidence for a successful method.”
Participant Business Design & Innovation
KI ist nicht nur eine technische, sondern auch eine menschliche Herausforderung.
„Viele Unternehmen stehen vor der Frage, wie sie Künstliche Intelligenz (KI) sinnvoll in ihre bestehenden Strukturen integrieren können. Doch oft werden die menschlichen Faktoren wie Akzeptanz und Vertrauen in den Veränderungsprozess vernachlässigt. Wie können wir die Mitarbeitenden von den Vorteilen der KI überzeugen? Wie schaffen wir ein Umfeld, in dem KI als Unterstützung und nicht als Bedrohung gesehen wird?“
Dozentin KI als Kollege
Eine erfolgreiche KI-Einführung ist ein Change Prozess, der alle betrifft.
„Die Einführung von KI kann tiefgreifende Auswirkungen auf Arbeitsweisen und Teamdynamiken haben. Führungskräfte stehen vor der Aufgabe, diese Veränderungen menschzentriert zu gestalten. Wie wirkt sich KI auf die Zusammenarbeit in Teams aus? Welche Herausforderungen und Widerstände könnten auftreten? Nur durch ein proaktives und gut geplantes Change Management können Unternehmen den vollen Nutzen von KI realisieren.“
