Digital Expert | 30 years of experience to support your company digitally | Entrepreneur, managing director & founder

As an entrepreneur and digital expert, I help companies strategically and practically implement Artificial Intelligence. My goal is to make organizations truly capable of action – from the first training session to the productive use of custom AI assistants, automation, and data-driven workflows in everyday business.

I manage several companies in the fields of 3D, event, and digital technologies, where I have been turning emerging trends into successful business models for years. This experience forms the foundation of my current work in AI consulting and implementation, where technology is always a means to enhance efficiency, quality, and creativity.

As a board member of the Medienhafen Düsseldorf Business Network, I am committed to promoting innovation and digitalization in the region and connecting companies across industries.

I firmly believe that AI is no longer a topic of the future – it is the key competence of the present. My mission is to help companies build and sustainably apply this competence to create real value.

𝐎𝐌𝐆 – 𝐦𝐞𝐢𝐧 𝐋𝐞𝐛𝐞𝐧 𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐧 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐧!



Diesen Satz hat eine Teilnehmerin auf 𝐌𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐚 rausgehauen – in dem Moment, als ein 𝐊𝐈‑𝐀𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭 ihr eine Aufgabe abgenommen hat, die sie bisher 𝐣𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐬 𝐌𝐚𝐥 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐞𝐥𝐥 gemacht hat. Und ja: Genau für solche Momente mache ich KI-Workshops.

Ich war bei apm auf Mallorca (Immobilienunternehmen) – 𝟕 𝐓𝐞𝐢𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐡𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞, einmal quer durch die Rollen: Geschäftsführung, Projekt/Backoffice, Marketing/Vertrieb. Ziel: KI nicht „mal ausprobieren“, sondern so nutzen, dass sie 𝐚𝐛 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐧 wirklich Arbeit spart.

Was wir in einem intensiven Praxis-Tag gemacht haben:

𝟏) 𝐊𝐈 𝐠𝐫𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐬ä𝐭𝐳𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐡𝐞𝐧
• Was generative KI kann (und was nicht)  
• Warum Modelle manchmal „halluzinieren“  
• Wie man Ergebnisse prüft, statt sie blind zu übernehmen

𝟐) 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐝𝐚𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐫𝐤𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐤𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐭
• Rolle, Ziel, Kontext, Format, Tonalität: sauber briefen  
• Beispiele geben (In‑Context)  
• Iterativ verbessern: Varianten erzeugen, vergleichen, kombinieren

𝟑) 𝐕𝐨𝐧 „𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐭“ 𝐳𝐮 𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐬
Wir haben wiederkehrende Aufgaben identifiziert und in 𝐊𝐈‑𝐀𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧 übersetzt – z. B.:  
• Texte/Exposés aus Fact-Sheets strukturieren  
• Angebots- und Dokumentenvergleiche  
• Auswertungen/Abweichungen verständlich zusammenfassen  
• „Zweiter Blick“ für Marketingtexte (kritisch, aber hilfreich)

𝟒) 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐮𝐭𝐳 & 𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐍𝐮𝐭𝐳𝐮𝐧𝐠
Was darf rein, was nicht? Wie anonymisiert man Daten sinnvoll? Welche Leitplanken braucht ein Team, damit KI produktiv 𝑢𝑛𝑑 sauber eingesetzt wird?

Das Beste: Es blieb nicht bei Demos. Am Ende hatte jede:r ein klares Commitment: 𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐧 𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐳𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐀𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐮𝐦𝐳𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐭𝐳𝐞𝐧 – damit der Nutzen nicht im Workshopraum bleibt, sondern im Alltag ankommt.

𝐕𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐧 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐏𝐌 𝐌𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐚 und André Maximilian Heider 𝐟ü𝐫 𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧 𝐓𝐚𝐠 𝐦𝐢𝐭 𝐞𝐮𝐜𝐡 – 𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠 𝐒𝐩𝐚ß 𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐭!
 

Wenn ihr das Gefühl habt, ein solcher Workshop könnte euer Unternehmen ebenfalls weiterbringen: 𝐌𝐞𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐭 𝐞𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐞 𝐟ü𝐫 𝐞𝐢𝐧 𝐮𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐛𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬 𝐆𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐫ä𝐜𝐡.
