AI & INNOVATION
By 2026, AI has become part of everyday work, yet it is often still perceived as abstract and hard to grasp. AI shifts responsibilities, speeds up decision-making, and brings organizational structures—and their blind spots—into focus. With the introduction of AI, fundamental questions often remain unanswered—most notably: who will decide what in the future? Which skills truly matter? And how does AI reshape innovation work beyond mere efficiency gains?
In 2026, we are dedicating a special focus to this topic through a variety of formats and had the pleasure of welcoming Michael Lewrick, PhD | MBA, to Vienna for a Master Class. He is a best-selling author, award-winning thought leader in the field of design thinking, entrepreneur, and guest professor at universities around the world. He supports people globally in shaping innovation, digital transformation, and business growth in an era of increasingly rapid change.
