It’s easy to demonstrate an AI application. The more difficult question is how to use it effectively within a company: Who decides on the use case? What legal requirements apply? How are employees involved? And what happens after the first convincing prototype?
It is precisely this combination of experimentation, guidance, and responsibility that will be the focus of the next AI workshop in Berlin. On November 10, 2026, AI 360° will enter its third round at launchlabs. K11 Consulting will be there again, featuring Dr. Alexander Deicke and, this time, Hannes Deuerling as a co-instructor.
The event is aimed at people who not only monitor AI in their companies but also have to make concrete decisions about it.

A company may be well-equipped from a technical standpoint and yet make little progress in implementing AI. Perhaps there’s no decision on which processes should be changed first. Perhaps it remains unclear who approves a use case. Or a pilot project works but doesn’t fit into the actual workflow.
Such difficulties can rarely be solved simply by adding another tool.
Here’s an example: A department develops an AI assistant for internal inquiries. The demonstration is convincing. However, once the system is up and running, other questions arise: Who maintains the knowledge base? Which answers need to be reviewed? Who bears the costs? And which existing responsibilities will change?
A technical experiment thus becomes an organizational challenge. That is precisely why it makes sense to consider innovation, leadership, strategy, and legal classification together.
We have already outlined the basic approach to our collaboration with launchlabs and AVIZO in the article “ The AI-360° Coordinator: From the EU AI Act to the AI Strategy.” The November meeting will now focus on the practical work at these interfaces.
The announced program combines five areas of specialization:
The complete program, including the individual sessions, is available on the event page.
The value of this interplay can be illustrated by a simple contrast: A prototype shows whether an idea can work in principle. A strategy must also explain why the company should pursue it. Leadership and organization determine how this can be turned into a viable work process. Legal review establishes the framework.
None of these perspectives automatically rules out the others. After all, a working prototype is not yet an operational model.
Dr. Alexander Deicke will provide insights into AI regulation, governance, and compliance. Key topics will include the classification of AI systems, a structured AI inventory, responsibilities, and documentation. Management approaches such as ISO/IEC 42001 and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework are also part of the announced topics.
At the November session, Alexander will be joined by Hannes Deuerling from the K11 team as a co-instructor. Alexander announced this additional participation in his public announcement regarding the third AI 360° session.
From a business perspective, the key is interpretation: What does a legal requirement mean for a specific process? What information is needed to make an approval decision? And how can responsibilities be defined in a way that actually works in day-to-day operations?
Compliance should not be viewed as a post-project review conducted after a project has already been completed. It is an integral part of the project's development.
The workshop is aimed in particular at executives, company management, and those responsible for strategy, innovation, and transformation. The combination of different perspectives may also be relevant for advisory boards and supervisory boards.
Participation makes particular sense if a specific issue is already on the table within your own company:
A promising pilot project never makes it past the testing phase. Several departments are pursuing similar ideas without knowing about each other. Or management wants to invest but first needs a solid basis for the decision.
Anyone who brings such a situation to the table can immediately relate the content to their own context. The project doesn’t have to be fully described yet for this to happen. A precise question is often a better starting point than a presentation in which everything already looks surprisingly seamless.
According to the event website, participants will receive a certificate related to Article 4 of the EU AI Act. Such a certificate can serve as proof of completion of the training and as a building block for workplace competency development initiatives.
The legal classification remains important: The AI Act does not mandate any specific certification. The European Commission explicitly explains this in its Q&A on AI competence. Measures should be based on job duties, prior knowledge, and the AI systems actually in use.
Therefore, the workshop is not a substitute for all internal company measures or for an individual legal review. Its value lies in the expert guidance it provides, the hands-on engagement it fosters, and the documented learning it offers.
A one-day event can clarify questions, open up new approaches, and lay the groundwork for decisions. Implementation then takes place within the company.
It therefore makes sense to translate these insights into a few concrete steps: prioritize a use case, define responsibilities, initiate any outstanding reviews, and plan a manageable next attempt.
Where additional training needs become apparent, targeted AI training from K11 can follow. It is crucial that general guidance leads to the development of a work process tailored to the company.
On November 10 in Berlin, KI 360° will provide a unified framework for topics that companies often address separately in their day-to-day operations: technical testing, strategic prioritization, leadership, internal interests, and legal requirements.
K11 Consulting will once again bring its compliance and governance perspective to the discussion. Anyone who would like to discuss a specific AI challenge and prepare for the next step can register their interest in attending via the event page.
