AI in Day-to-Day Business — Where Departments Stand Today

In most medium-sized companies, AI has long since made its way into the departments —albeit through the back door. Employees are experimenting on their own with ChatGPT, Copilot, or Claude, often using personal accounts and handling confidential company data. This is understandable, but risky—legally, in terms of data protection, and economically.

Our AI training for employees addresses this very issue. We meet your teams where they are—from the first prompt to the meaningful integration of these tools into their daily work. Instead of general AI theory, we focus on specific tasks from your day-to-day operations: the job posting HR is drafting this week. On the draft proposal that Sales needs tomorrow. On the balance sheet analysis that the Controlling department prepares every month.

Starting in February 2025, structured training for your employees on how to use AI will no longer be optional—it will be a requirement under the EU AI Act. Those who ignore this risk not only fines but also real data breaches stemming from shadow IT.

AI Training for Departments

Why provide role-specific AI training for employees instead of general AI training?

The greatest impact doesn’t come from spectacular use cases, but from daily repetition. A marketing manager who saves 30 minutes on each press release regains two full work weeks per year. A recruiter who writes job postings in half the time can handle twice as many open positions. We build our training programs on this logic: fewer showcases, more practical tools for what your teams do every day anyway.

General “AI awareness” training often fails because it isn’t specific enough for anyone. A marketing manager needs different tips than an HR manager—and both need different examples than a financial controller. Putting everyone in the same training session loses the attention of one half of the group and overwhelms the other.

Our solution: a shared foundational session, followed by role-specific in-depth training. This way, your teams build a shared vocabulary and then delve deeper into the areas where it makes a difference in their day-to-day work.

Goals of the AI Training for Employees

After the training, your employees will be proficient in the tools they need to use AI responsibly and productively in their day-to-day work. Specifically:

Safe Prompting in German & English

How do I phrase a prompt so that the AI provides useful results—and doesn't hallucinate? A structured prompt library to take with you.

Choosing Tools with Good Judgment

ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini, and German alternatives. We’ll show you which tool is best suited for which task—and which ones aren’t.

Data Protection in Everyday Life

What can and can't be included in the tool? How do I identify confidential data? Which tools are GDPR-compliant?

Use Cases You Can Implement Right Away

For each participant, specific use cases from their own daily work that can be put to productive use immediately after the training.

Custom Workflow Integration

Where can I effectively integrate AI into my tools (Outlook, Excel, the CRM, the HR system)?

Recognizing Boundaries

In what situations does AI reliably provide false information? In what situations must a human necessarily double-check the results? In what situations is the use of AI not legally permitted (e.g., automated rejection of job applicants)?

Format and Schedule of the AI Training for Employees

Our training sessions are as concise as possible and as comprehensive as necessary. We respect your teams’ work time.

  • Standard format: 1 day of fundamentals + 0.5 day of role-specific in-depth workshop (1.5 days total)

  • Group size: Max. 12 participants, so that questions can be addressed individually. For larger teams, we divide participants into parallel groups or offer modular follow-up sessions.

  • Delivery: Remote (via Teams or Zoom), on-site at your location, or hybrid

  • Follow-up Consultation: Optional, 4 weeks after the training—participants bring any open questions from their day-to-day work. This session ensures knowledge transfer and, based on experience, is the most valuable component.

  • Training Certificate: Each participant receives a certificate of attendance detailing the course content—relevant for Article 4 of the EU AI Act and your company’s documentation requirements.
