-
Compliance Assurance: We help you align your AI projects with the regulatory framework of the EU AI Act—so you understand the requirements before the main obligations take effect in August 2026. Our study shows: “Those who view AI merely as a panacea will be disappointed. Those who, on the other hand, understand it as a specialized tool will reap significant benefits.” – This is precisely the strategic focus of our workshop. (Source: MaibornWolff study “Technology Efficiency”, 2026)
Whether as an impulse, proof of value or the start of a larger AI initiative - our workshop will get your organization moving. At the end of the AI workshop, participants can...
-
...evaluate AI use cases yourself: assess analysis, feasibility and potential ROI
-
...Apply prompt engineering: for better results when working with current AI models such as GPT-5, Claude, and Gemini
-
...building MVPs: initiating initial experiments in the sense of a minimum viable product (MVP) and pitching internally
- The Beginner's Package covers the basics of AI, getting started with ChatGPT (GPT-5), and quick wins you can implement right away.
- In the Advanced Package, we delve deeper into data thinking, prototyping, and AI strategies—ideal if you already have use cases or initiatives in place. A key focus is on AI agents (Agentic AI)—the central enterprise trend for 2026: According to Gartner, by the end of 2026, 40% of enterprise apps will already include task-specific AI agents.
Our latest survey of 305 IT managers shows that when AI is applied to inefficient processes, it does not lead to greater efficiency, but merely to doing the wrong things faster. That is why the right implementation strategy is crucial. (Source: MaibornWolff Study “Technology Efficiency”, 2026)

What are the benefits of an AI workshop?
An AI workshop is more than just theory: it provides orientation, identifies concrete potential and lays the foundation for a sustainable AI strategy in companies from a wide range of industries.
According to a recent MaibornWolff study, 59% of respondents fear that digital waste—specifically unused technical features, dead code, and redundant artifacts—will increase in the future due to AI. A structured workshop with a clear strategy is the most effective safeguard against this scenario. (Source: MaibornWolff study “Technology Efficiency”, 2026)
Instead of abstract concepts, we deliver tangible results: In the workshop, we work together to develop concrete ideas, prioritized use cases and initial prototypes - tailored to your individual challenges, wishes and goals.
-
Clarity instead of AI hype: you now understand what generative AI can really do - and where its limits lie.
-
Use cases with added value: Together, we develop AI use cases that are technically feasible and generate ROI.
-
Scalable impact: The first MVPs or proofs of concept are created during the workshop and can be further developed internally.
-
Governance from the Start: According to Bitkom, 10% of employees use AI without their employer’s knowledge (shadow AI). Our workshop helps establish clear rules for use and governance structures.
The use of AI agents enables existing software landscapes and complex domains to be analyzed and modernized much more quickly. The right AI strategy thus becomes a catalyst for overcoming technical debt. (Source: MaibornWolff study “Technology Efficiency”, 2026)

FAQ: Frequently asked questions about the AI workshop
What does an AI workshop cost?
The costs depend on the scope, duration and number of participants. A compact, 1-day standard workshop starts at around €5,000. For individual formats - e.g. with in-depth prototyping, an industry-specific focus or follow-up sessions - we will be happy to create a tailor-made offer.
What is an AI workshop?
An AI workshop is a concise, hands-on format in which companies learn to use artificial intelligence strategically and in practical applications. Together with experts, participants develop concrete use cases, test tools such as GPT-5, Claude, and RAG architectures, create initial prototypes, and receive a customized implementation roadmap. The goal is to build internal expertise and create targeted value with AI.
Is there anything I need to be aware of regarding the EU AI Act?
Yes. The EU AI Act has been in effect since August 2024. The main obligations for high-risk AI systems take effect on August 2, 2026. Companies must classify and document their AI applications and, where necessary, subject them to a conformity assessment. In Germany, the AI Measures Act (KI-MIG) governs national implementation. Our workshop helps you align your planned AI projects with this regulatory framework.
What are AI agents, and why are they important?
AI agents (Agentic AI) are AI systems that independently pursue goals, plan tasks, and execute multi-step processes—unlike simple chatbots. Gartner predicts that by the end of 2026, approximately 40% of enterprise applications will include task-specific AI agents. Typical areas of application include customer service, IT operations, and procurement. In our workshop, you will learn how to identify suitable use cases and build initial agent prototypes.
Why does my company need an AI workshop?
According to a MaibornWolff study of 305 IT decision-makers, 42% of companies are already seeing efficiency gains from AI—but only when its implementation is strategically planned. At the same time, 47% feel overwhelmed by the flood of new AI tools. A structured workshop provides the necessary guidance and prevents AI investments from going to waste. (Source: MaibornWolff study “Technology Efficiency”, 2026)
