Practice-oriented AI workflows: Theory and application

From conceptual understanding to the real implementation of AI projects

This blended learning is held in German.
All business process automation is a means to an end. These purposes can be very different even within a company. Therefore, this course focuses on automation via business questions and problems and arrives at a technical and technological solution. At the end of the course, you will be able to optimize workflows by approaching processes conceptually and methodically and linking them to the potential of AI building blocks. Along the way, the course will guide you through the implementation of automation projects using case studies. You will learn how to map use cases, develop your data strategy, receive artifacts to support you in stakeholder management and discuss strategies for introducing intelligent autonomous processes. By implementing your own practical example - from conception to implementation - you will learn how to effectively design and use intelligent autonomous processes in your company.
