[DSC DACH 25] Dr. Jochen Kokemueller.pptx

We stand on the edge of a profound transformation: Artificial Intelligence is radically redefining the way we think, collaborate, and lead. As AI moves from theory into practice, our roles shift—from employees executing tasks toward becoming "Agent Maestros," orchestrating AI-driven workflows. In this keynote, I'll share my personal journey into the world of human-AI collaboration and how it reshaped my understanding of leadership across three crucial dimensions: Leading Myself, Leading Others, and Leading My Business. Drawing insights from cutting-edge trends such as the Microsoft Work Trend Index, I’ll share practical, actionable competencies you can cultivate today to thrive tomorrow: strategic clarity, iterative processes, mindful self-management, reflective communication, and adaptive lifelong learning. Join me in exploring how we can consciously and responsibly shape an inspiring, healthy, and sustainable future of work

11. Leading others The Agent Maestro’s Toolkit: 3 Core Competencies AI Literacy The What Moving beyond just using AI to deeply understanding its capabilities, limitations, and strategic applications. It’s the ability to ask the right questions of the AI. Growth Mindset The How Embracing continuous learning, experimentation, and resilience. It's the courage to fail fast, learn faster, and view AI as a collaborator for innovation, not a threat to the status quo. AI Agency The Why This is the evolution from task executor to workflow orchestrator . It’s not about mastering a single AI, but possessing the fluidity and courage to adopt a better tool every week. 11

13. Leading my Business Navigating the GenAI Divide The "Pilot-to-Production Chasm": Only 5% of task-specific enterprise tools are successfully deployed. Brittle & Static: These tools fail because they don't learn, can't integrate, and don't adapt to real-world workflows Internal Builds Fail More: The data shows that "buy" (strategic partnerships) is twice as likely to succeed as "build" (internal dev). Personal Efficiency Soars: The primary gain is in individual productivity—automating daily tasks and workflows. Horizontal Tools Win: Employees overwhelmingly prefer and get value from general-purpose tools like ChatGPT and Copilot. Reveals True Needs: This "shadow" use reveals what users actually want: flexibility, speed, and continuous learning 13 Insights from the MIT "State of AI in Business 2025" Report 95% of Custom AI Initiatives Fail 90% of Employees Drive Real Value Today
