How to develop better digital products?

On November 27th one day before our conference, we offer several amazing full day workshops. We will provide lunch and plenty of coffee to fuel you through the day.

Pick the workshop you’re interested in and buy your ticket – be quick as there are very limited seats for each workshop (max. 20 per workshop to ensure the best possible learning experience). As the workshops are run in parallel you can only attend one of them, and once purchased you cannot change your workshop.

You should, of course, also join us at the conference the day after these workshops, but tickets are completely separate. Conference tickets do NOT give you access to workshops, nor do workshop tickets give you access to the conference.

AI Envisioning: How to find and describe valuable AI solutions to improve your business!

Everybody is talking about Artificial Intelligence (AI), lately. Despite the massive attention that this topic receives, we sincerely believe it is justified. This is because AI methods have the potential to profoundly change how we live our lives and do business.

But how can we use AI to improve business?
And how best designing AI-based solutions that integrate well into existing processes?

Great design begins with an understanding of user needs well. This is why we would like to answer these questions in our workshop.

To design great AI solutions, we recommend to follow these steps:

• understand the very basics of AI
• imagine how AI could help to improve the business
• describe given problems that AI should solve
• openly explore ideas for possible solutions

In this hands-on workshop, you will learn an agile methodology that helps you develop AI-based use cases and set up an entire portfolio of such use cases.

Agenda:

• creating basic understanding of AI
• setting the right frame
• preparing the mind for out-of-the-box solutions
• describing problems at hand
• ideating for great solutions
• exploring and describing solutions that integrate seamlessly
