⭕️KI Park's Tech Talk on "Strategic AI: Roadmaps for Organizational Innovation" was full of insights gained from dynamic conversations moderated by Clemens Binder! 🤝 The event provided attendees with valuable perspectives on how AI strategies are transforming organizations at the intersection of data, innovation, and strategy 📈     🗣️ Our expert panellists—Dr. Simon Müller, Nora Heer, Markus Stulle, and Dr. Sonja Galkin—engaged in informative discussions, sharing real-world examples and highlighting crucial points on the future of AI in various sectors. The exchange between decision-makers from consultancies, corporates, SMEs, and start-ups created a rich dialogue, and the key takeaways from the session can be summarized into the following:  ⚙️ AI strategies must be derived from the overall business strategy;  ️⚙ Develop a guiding vision and assess the organization's maturity;  ⚙️ Top-down approaches need to be complemented by bottom-up processes;  ⚙ Successful strategies give employees the freedom to identify where AI can best assist them;  ⚙️ Take a conscious decision about when to include the IT department into the process;  ⚙️ Focus on practical application and value creation, rather than 100% legal certainty—legal concerns often overshadow potential;  ️⚙ Try first, then evaluate;  ⚙ and leaders must become role-models on how to use AI.  ️We thank everyone who joined the session, making it a highly interactive and insightful event.
