On Thursday, 05.06.2025 we welcome Dr. Steffen Roehn in Audimax (B4.1), 14:15 - 15:45. Dr. Roehn will give a guest lecture on "Information management at AI speed - how does it work?"
Abstract:
Traditional information management is based on the paradigm “IT follows business requirements”. Therefore, processes that manage the translation of business requirements into information systems in the best possible way play a central role. This will have to change fundamentally in order to use AI to create value. Technology is increasingly becoming the “content of the business”, which is why it is necessary to merge the disciplines of business and technology strategy.
AI has dramatically shortened the already accelerating usage and adaptation cycle for new technologies. Where previously years were available for the introduction of new technologies, it is now a matter of months and weeks. The arsenal of “legacy systems” available in all companies, on which today's business depends, further intensifies the pressure to adapt.
This presentation in the bachelor's lecture Information Management highlights the practical aspects of implementing AI in companies and is fed by current experiences, surveys and concepts of the management consultancy Bain & Company with its customers.
