This is not Rembrandt, but AI

Artificial Intelligence has even arrived in art and is bringing the Old Masters back to life [more]. It shapes our everyday life in all its forms – from Siri on our smartphones to the music recommendations on Spotify.

In many organizations the picture is different. AI is often still in its infancy here! You might ask yourself: What does AI mean for my organization? Do we even need it and if so, what is the Use Case? To what extent can I, as a manager, make a meaningful contribution?

Our Lab makes you fit for AI

Together with us, you or your leaders will learn all the relevant basics to not only understand AI, but also to proactively shape it in your organization. Jointly, we will develop a presentable prototype, your own AI Minimum Viable Product. At the same time you will expand your digital leadership skills. Let the Buzzword AI finally be followed by action – co-creatively and hands-on!

 

 

 

Your Learnings

Clarity in handling data and AI [more]

You have an understanding of topics such as machine learning, are "data literate" and feel confident to take the lead in AI

Experience in Agile Working and Design Thinking [more]

You can quickly develop central use cases, know how to implement best practices and are aware of how to create sustainable (customer) benefits with AI

Competency in the Digital Transformation [more]

You are familiar with the key skills for learning from data, know what mindset shift is needed and are ready to take the digital transformation of your organization to the next level

Your Learning Journey ...

Become an AI for Impact Champion! Together with one or two other leaders from your company and peers from other exciting organizations, you will go through a Learning Journey consisting of three intensive two-day block formats, which are supplemented by Micro Learnings and exchange in the work phases between the modules.
During the Lab, the expert community of LEAD Machine Learning also accompanies you in the technical development of your Minimum Viable Product. From AI image processing to virtual assistants - we are at your side during the development of your first AI prototype! You do not need any previous knowledge.
