Methods & Structures Foundation
Understand why effective work needs a method. Structure a real challenge and leave with a practical working model you can use immediately.
Frame a professional challenge
Frame a question from your professional practice: what information is needed, which method fits and what makes the result useful? Develop a problem frame and an initial template adapted to your experience. AI can be one of the application contexts.
For a shared organisational challenge, explore the corporate formats. The German-language Journal discusses AI and work design.
