Using and applying AI in process management
From the basics to specific AI use cases, workflows, and implementation
Fundamentals of AI tools and prompt engineering
- Introduction to AI tools and prompt engineering (targeted formulation of inputs for AI tools).
- Definition of artificial intelligence and key concepts of generative AI tools.
- Typical use cases for generative AI along your own processes and tasks in process management.
Intelligent prompts and dialogues with AI tools
- Roles of user prompts, system prompts, history (chat history), and memories in AI tools.
- Development, adaptation, and design of effective dialogue structures and prompts.
- Dealing with context control and critically questioning AI results.
Ensuring quality: checking and improving results
- Critical review and iterative improvement of AI interaction.
- Avoiding typical pitfalls and types of errors (e.g., hallucinations, loss of context).
- Best practices, dos and don'ts, own use cases.
AI use cases and workflows in your process management
- Systematic analysis of AI use cases from real challenges in your process management.
- Assessment and evaluation of use cases based on effort, benefits, and risk factors.
- Hands-on development and testing of at least three ready-to-use AI workflows based on the most relevant AI use cases, e.g.
- Process history assistant
- Feedback Analyzer
- Automation Potential Scout
- SOP Generator (Standard Operating Procedure)
- Lessons Learned AI
- Practical application and simulation on your own processes and areas of responsibility.
Action plan for AI integration in your process management
- Development of concrete measures for the steps from the first prototype to stable rollout in your department/company.
- Customized stakeholder analysis and consideration of typical barriers to implementation in AI-based process innovations.
- Designing effective change management and communication strategies.
Your digital add-on: In addition to the training, you’ll receive free access afterward to a guide on how to use AI as your personal learning transfer companion or coach to successfully apply what you’ve learned to your daily work.
In your online learning environment, you will find useful information, downloads and extra services for this training course once you have registered.
- You understand the basic mechanisms of generative AI and can systematically develop new tools—even if the interface of the AI tools changes.
- You have access to customized prompt templates that you can use immediately in process management and learn how to efficiently develop new ones.
- You increase your productivity and confidence in dealing with AI, prevent incorrect AI results, critically review results, and continuously improve quality.
- You can systematically develop AI use cases in process management and take away concrete, practiced, and ready-to-use AI workflows that you can use and adapt for your own process optimizations.
- You are able to design AI-supported process solutions, successfully support their implementation, and are familiar with methodological and communicative tools to ensure their acceptance.
- You benefit from reflection and peer exchange to reflect on your own challenges and develop viable solutions for your process management.
Input, discussion, group work, best practice examples, working aids, live development of use cases and workflows with the AI tool of your choice (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini, Halerium).
All use cases are covered training by step in training , from conception to implementation in a business context, and can be adapted and adopted for your own processes.
process managers, project managers, project managers, organizational developers, digitalization managers, and executives—in short, anyone with process responsibility who is responsible for designing, optimizing, or (partially) automating business processes and wants to implement AI in their processes in a targeted manner.

FAQ
AI in process management is particularly useful when it comes to automating recurring tasks, evaluating large amounts of data, or analyzing complex processes. In the “ training ,” you’ll learn how to identify specific challenges in business processes and derive appropriate AI use cases from them. The guide takes into account the benefits, effort required, and potential risks so that you can make informed decisions about where AI actually adds value.
Generative AI can structure information, create process descriptions, evaluate feedback, and identify opportunities for improvement. It can also reduce the manual effort involved in documenting and standardizing processes. Using real-world examples, the " training" demonstrates how such AI workflows can be applied in process management and how the results can be reviewed by subject matter experts.
The quality of AI results depends heavily on how clearly the task, context, goal, and desired outcome are defined. By using appropriate prompt engineering techniques, you can structure instructions more effectively and better identify common sources of error. As part of this training, you’ll also develop prompt templates for recurring tasks, enabling you to use generative AI more effectively in your day-to-day work.
A effective AI workflow requires a clear goal, appropriate information, defined steps, and transparent quality criteria. This training course teaches you a structured approach to designing and testing AI applications and evaluating them based on their benefits, effort required, and practicality. This will enable you to develop concrete solutions from initial ideas and better assess which applications are worth implementing in your company.
Even a technically sound AI solution will only be successful if employees and relevant stakeholders understand it, accept it, and use it in their day-to-day work. That’s why the “ training ” also addresses the organizational and communication aspects of implementation. You’ll learn how to identify potential barriers early on, engage stakeholders in a targeted manner, and communicate changes in a way that’s easy to understand. This increases the chances of successfully embedding AI-supported processes in the company over the long term.
