"Running a design sprint without AI today is like running a race without training—you might reach the finish line, but it will be harder and significantly slower," said Luisa-Marie Schmolke during her keynote at the Future Tech Fest in Düsseldorf, where she captivated a full house. While AI is widely adopted across various sectors, it's surprising how few are leveraging its potential in Design Sprints – yet. At ERGO Innovation Lab, we’ve developed a pioneering approach that integrates traditional sprint methodologies with advanced GenAI capabilities. Our AI Design Sprint enables teams to efficiently identify, prototype, and test AI-enhanced solutions, driving innovation at an accelerated pace. This approach has proven particularly valuable for us, as it's often challenging to gather all relevant key stakeholders in one room for five days—the typical duration of a traditional design sprint. With AI, we're able to streamline the process, making it faster and more flexible, without compromising on the outcomes. 🚀 The future of design sprints has arrived, and it's powered by AI. Is your team ready to innovate faster and smarter? #DesignThinking #AI #Innovation #DesignSprints

Pushing the Boundaries of Innovation at ERGO! In todays internal Learning2Go session, our Head of Innovation Lab, Georgina Neitzel took the opportunity to "welcome" the participants in six different languages—even though she is fluent in only two of them! This was made possible by leveraging advanced avatar and voice cloning technology. This innovation allows us to break down language barriers and create more inclusive and engaging learning experiences for our global teams. In our innovation lab, we're currently experimenting with multimodal generative AI, collaborating with various departments on real-world use cases. We're excited to see how these advancements will further enhance communication and collaboration across borders. #Innovation #AI #GenerativeAI #LearningAndDevelopment #GlobalTeams #FutureOfWork

Innovate with us: Dive into multimodal generative AI in our internal Learning2Go session💡 Next Friday, our Innovation Lab will host an internal Learning2Go session exclusively for our ERGO colleagues, focusing on 'Innovative applications of multimodal generative AI in insurance and beyond'. One of our core missions at the Innovation Lab is to empower our colleagues by providing insights and training on emerging technologies and showcasing their potential applications. In this session, we'll explore how multimodal AI - from visual risk assessment to creating visuals for marketing campaigns - can transform the insurance industry. We'll also look at challenges and ethical considerations surrounding these technologies, and take a look beyond our industry to explore some quirky and surprising applications in other sectors. There's so much potential out there, and we look forward to sharing it with you! For all our team members, this is your chance to stay ahead of the curve, get inspired and explore how we can use these cutting-edge technologies in our daily work. We hope to see many of you next week! 👋 #Innovation #AI #Insurance #GenerativeAI #Learning2Go #EmployeeDevelopment #FutureOfInsurance"

AI-powered Design Sprints: Humans lead, AI assists In the world of innovation, the synergy between humans and AI is changing the way we work. Our new AI-powered design sprints are an example of this collaboration, enabling teams to complete a traditionally 5-day process in just 2 days. The secret? Humans lead with creativity and intuition, while AI tools like ChatGPT help by generating ideas and visualising prototypes. This partnership not only increases productivity, but also improves creativity and results. Attendees at our workshops consistently praise this approach for its efficiency and innovation. If you're looking to improve your team's creative processes, explore the power of AI-powered design sprints. #Innovation #DesignThinking #AI #Productivity #Creativity #DesignSprints #AIEnablement #IterativeDesign
