Keynote / Work & Collaboration

AI is changing work. What will we make of it?

Between an impressive demo and meaningful use lies one decisive question: how does the work itself change? Practical examples with Claude Code, Codex and Cowork make new ways of working tangible, along with their possibilities, limits and consequences for teams.

People set the direction, AI handles tasks, people review the results. Keynote: context and perspectives.

Who it’s for

Who this keynote is for.

For leaders, business units and teams that want to move beyond isolated AI experiments and evolve how they work together.

What your audience takes away.

  • A concrete picture of which work steps can be organized differently with AI.
  • Orientation on the new division of labor between people, AI and the team.
  • Questions to test your own starting point: value, data access, output quality and accountability.

Content framework

Three perspectives on the topic.

We tailor the focus and technical depth to your question.

01

Show the work, don’t just talk about AI

Follow practical examples of how a task becomes an AI-assisted workflow.

02

What stays with people

Setting goals, providing context, reviewing results and taking responsibility: making the work around the AI visible.

03

From personal experiment to team practice

Discuss shared ground rules, good starter tasks and transparent quality standards.

How I work

Start with the task, not the tool.

The explorer maps tasks, data and responsibility. We tailor the hands-on tool examples with Claude Code, Codex and Cowork to the format and the available environment.

A business case that guides the architecture.

Which decision should get better? Which process faster? A clear benefit, measurable success criteria and a narrowly scoped first use case give the technical work its direction.

  • Use case prioritization
  • Product vision & roadmap
  • Success criteria
