AI Business Manager

Leaders and professionals who have completed the foundation.

“At the first lecture I thought: this won’t work. Today I do more than half of my work with AI.”

Carsten Lohse Managing Director

“Over 12 weeks you implement the topics step by step. That is exactly what makes the difference.”

Michael Findeis Managing Director, Betonbohrservice GmbH

“The combination of AI tools and personal development was unique.”

Viktor Graf Managing Director

“AI becomes powerful when it creates real business value.”

Oliver Lebherz AI Ambassador, Siemens AG

“The AI Business Manager is a brainwash with a new sparring partner.”

Steffen Müller-Probandt Managing Partner, DIENES Apparatebau GmbH

“For a long time I couldn’t picture how to implement AI in a mid-sized company. Now I have a clear understanding.”

Keynote in front of an audience in the auditorium

Feedback you no longer get anywhere else: clear, direct, respectful. But not embellished.

Head of AI and Chief AI Officer

Leaders at management and C-level who have completed the leadership programmes.

“The biggest difference wasn’t the knowledge, but the responsibility: going out, understanding customers, convincing them. Even when it gets uncomfortable.”

Oliver Lammers VP IT / CIO, iwis

“Enthusiasm doesn’t come from numbers alone, but from a change of perspective, clear decisions and honest feedback.”

Alexander Schnürer CFO & MD, Westhouse Group

“The biggest gain was the confidence to pitch ideas clearly: strategically, understandably and with real impact on the audience.”

Marco Steidel Head of IT & Digital Transformation

“The biggest value was the practical relevance: going out and learning things that are in no textbook.”

Oliver Lammers VP IT / CIO, iwis

“The decisive learning moment was: transformation cannot be ordered. You have to win people over.”

Alexander Schnürer CFO & MD, Westhouse Group

“New leadership means: reduce complexity and create impact.”

The C-level jury

Board members and managing directors you present to.

“At C-level, applause doesn’t help. What moves you forward is honest feedback from people who know responsibility. As CFO and supervisory board member I learned to make decisions under pressure. That is exactly the experience that counts here.”

Stefan Neumann Interim CFO

“AI is not decided by tools, but by clarity at board level. As CIO I am responsible for IT, digitalisation and implementation. That is exactly the perspective I bring here.”

Oliver Lammers CIO, iwis

“At C-level it is not about potential, but about fit. As an executive search partner I have seen over decades which decisions hold and which careers fail because of them.”

Andreas Hofmann Former CMO Hyundai, executive search partner

“Strategy only becomes real when it works in the market. As a managing director with P&L responsibility I know that good decisions have to show impact: with customers, employees and in the results.”

Roland Kölbl Managing Director, Thalia

“Leadership means enduring contradictions. As CEO of a traditional company in digital transformation I know that the future does not come from tools, but from clear decisions between preserving and renewing.”
