Team during the working session at a STARTPLATZ workshop

A full-day format that moves teams from AI theory into application.

An in-depth format for companies: in one day, business units work on their own use cases — with context on current developments, expert input, and a working session on their own case.

Typical goals

  • Identify and prioritize relevant AI use cases from day-to-day work.
  • Guide business units into concrete problem areas, workflows, and pilot logic.
  • Establish a shared way of working with AI within the team.
  • Move from orientation to practical, actionable execution capability.

Particularly relevant for

  • Companies with concrete AI questions in specific departments or functions.
  • Teams from product, sales, operations, marketing, or innovation.
  • Organizations that want to turn interest into a solid working approach.
  • Teams looking for a more intensive format than an activation day.
Does another format have to come first?
Not necessarily. Corporate Enablement works directly if your team brings enough urgency or prior knowledge — but it is often the logical deepening step after an initial activation.
Is this already a full implementation?
No. The format enables teams to develop application areas, priorities, and ways of working. Further programs, pilots, or implementation projects can follow from there.
What does the day look like?
Five phases: context, input, perspectives, working session, and consolidation — full-day, interactive, and with real work on your own use case.
How is this different from a training course?
In addition to trainers, AI experts and startups are involved. The format combines context, external perspectives, and a working session on your own case.

What you have at the end of the day.

Prioritized use cases
Application areas and questions from the business units, prioritized.
Pilot areas
Concrete candidates for first pilots.
AI ecosystem in the format
AI experts, startups, and field-tested formats in one day.
