Input presentations
Whether for an event or internal training, our contributions convey sound knowledge, open up new perspectives and stimulate discussion. We offer a selection of topics or develop suitable contributions that specifically address certain issues.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Artificial intelligence systems are playing an increasingly important role in our everyday lives. On the one hand, they can make processes more efficient and thus simplify areas of life. On the other hand, decisions that affect us all are increasingly being automated. We highlight current developments, opportunities and risks associated with AI.
Thinking the Future
Making reliable predictions about the future is a difficult undertaking, because thinking about the future is always speculative. What methods are available to make possible developments visible nonetheless? And how can the insights gained be taken into account in the present?
Future-proof organisations
According to a recent Gallup study, two out of three employees only do the bare minimum, and one in seven has already mentally resigned. How can new forms of organisation and technologies be used to counteract this trend? And what does the working world of the future need to promote motivation and commitment?
Digital participation
Does more digitalisation lead to more democracy? New communication technologies bring people closer together across vast geographical distances. Will we be able to have a more direct say in more areas in the future? And if so, will this always lead to better results?
Digital opinion forming and digital skills
Opinion formation and exchange have long been taking place digitally. What influence do phenomena such as misinformation, echo chambers and bots have? This input shows how these mechanisms can be explained and what skills are needed to navigate the digital space safely and reflectively.
Speculative design
Speculative design can be used to create alternative future scenarios and bring them to life. This input presents practical examples and explains how the method can be applied to open up new perspectives on social and technological developments.
Automated injustice
Algorithms are increasingly determining access to jobs, loans and government benefits. These systems are only seemingly neutral and can reinforce discrimination. Examples from business and administration are used to show how automated processes reproduce inequalities and what approaches exist to counteract this development.
