The AI-Blackbelt program is a structured, practice-oriented training developed from many years of hands-on experience in identifying, evaluating, and implementing AI use cases across industries. The program bridges the gap between academic AI knowledge and real-world business application.
Unlike purely technical or conceptual AI trainings, the AI-Blackbelt focuses on value creation, scalability, and measurable impact. Participants learn how to move beyond experimentation and systematically embed AI into business processes, decision-making, and strategy.
Participants of the AI-Blackbelt program gain direct, tangible benefits for their organizations:
Showing the potential of AI-implementation, one exemplary use case in the area of software engineering led to 30% time savings and a 40% increase in quality, demonstrating how structured AI adoption delivers measurable results.
The AI-Blackbelt program follows a clear, three-stage structure that supports participants from first orientation to strategic AI leadership:
This introductory level builds a common understanding of core AI concepts, capabilities, and limitations. Participants learn how AI works, where it creates value, and how to identify promising initial use cases within their own business context
At the Green Belt level, participants move from ideas to execution. They learn how to systematically identify and evaluate AI use cases based on business value, feasibility, and risk. The training provides proven methods and tools for project planning and enables participants to design and initiate first AI prototypes.
The Black Belt elevates AI from isolated projects to a strategic capability. Participants develop the skills to lead enterprise-wide AI initiatives, define long-term AI roadmaps, and establish governance structures that ensure sustainable value creation. The focus is on scaling AI, organizational enablement, and aligning AI initiatives with overall business strategy.
The AI-Blackbelt program is ideal for executives, innovation leaders, digital transformation managers, product owners, and consultants who want to actively shape their organization’s AI journey – from strategy to implementation.
Trainings are offered on flexible dates and can be conducted as company-specific programs or open trainings with mixed participant groups, enabling valuable cross-industry exchange and peer learning.
