His credo: Knowledge and experience are the foundation of success, which can only be achieved through hands-on action.

Technology alone is not enough

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) offers companies immense opportunities to increase efficiency and productivity. However, as Cornelius Klingel from CPC Unternehmensmanagement AG and Tobias Krafft from Trusted AI emphasize in the trade magazine changement!, the success of such projects is inextricably linked to effective change management.

Practical example: How a lack of integration led to failure

A German insurance company wanted to use an AI solution to analyze incoming documents faster and more accurately. However, the employees responsible for creating and classifying the data were not sufficiently involved in the process.
As a result, uncertainty and anxiety grew, leading to active resistance and sabotaged data records. Despite job guarantees, the project failed. The hoped-for efficiency failed to materialize, and the trust of the workforce was permanently damaged.

People as the key to success

This example shows that people are at the heart of every technological transformation. Change management must specifically address fears, build acceptance, and actively involve the workforce. Only then can companies ensure that technical solutions such as AI reach their full potential.
