Process Management in the age of AI – The Stages Roadmap

Even sceptics agree that AI is revolutionizing the world, but its true impacts on our professional environment are still not entirely clear.

In this presentation, Erich Meier will discuss the impact of AI on all aspects of managing engineering processes. From process definition over regulatory compliance to how participants will consume and execute processes, AI already has strong impact and causes substantial shifts. On the other hand, AI and similar disruptive trends cause unsettling and even anxiety, more recently described as the „BANI World”.

Erich will give an outlook on how AI takes shape in the Stages roadmap and how we anticipate future processes to bring some order to the uncertainty ahead of us.
