Who runs the company when the AI agents do the work?
Who runs the company when the AI agents do the work?
**ESMT Insight Hour with Dr. Martin Hofmann** **Schedule:** 5:30 p.m. - Registration opens 6:00 p.m. - Welcome from host, ESMT Berlin 6:05 p.m. - Talk of Martin Hofmann 6:30 p.m. - Discussion and Q&A 7:00 p.m. - Networking, drinks and nibbles will be provided 8:30 p.m. - Close The question is no longer whether AI will transform organizations. The question is how you design a company where humans and autonomous agents work side by side. The stakes are high: firms that fail to get the balance right risk losing control, trust, and competitive advantage as work becomes increasingly agentic. The core challenge? Design hybrid teams, governance, and leadership so agents can carry workload while experts carry judgment, and the organization learns continuously from both. In this ESMT Insight Hour, [Dr. Martin Hofmann](https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-hofmann-4b90405/), author of ***The Agentic Enterprise***, will present insights from his new book and introduce a new business operating model built around hybrid teams of domain experts and AI agents that sense, decide, learn, and act autonomously. Drawing on the Agentic Enterprise Framework™, he will show how enterprises move beyond automation into true autonomy and why trust becomes the organization’s new operating system. You’ll gain insight into: * How to architect hybrid teams of humans and AI agents, and the roles each should play * Why trust, rather than rules, must become the organization’s operating system * Practical leadership, governance, and scaling strategies for agentic organizations Join us to find out what it really takes to lead, scale, and orchestrate intelligence in the era of autonomous agents. Moderated by [Catalina Stefanescu-Cuntze](https://www.linkedin.com/in/catalina-stefanescu-cuntze-07a3aa/), Professor of Management Science and Faculty Lead, Master in Analytics and Artificial Intelligence, ESMT Berlin. **About the speaker** [Martin Hofmann](https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-hofmann-4b90405/) is a senior business technology executive with a PhD in industrial engineering from ETH Zurich and a master’s degree in business computer science from the University of Mannheim.

Join us for an evening of practical insights into how **AI, no-code, and low-code tools** are transforming how we build products. This is not a sales-driven event. It’s designed as a balanced mix of **community innovation** and **hands-on demos from industry leaders**. **📅 March 26, 2026** **⏰ 18:00 – 21:00** *(Networking until 22:00)* **📍 Web3 Hub, Berlin** **🍕 Pizza & Drinks provided** *** ## ✨ What to Expect **🎤 Expert Talks** \| Practical insights and live builds **⚡ Real Use Cases** \| AI agents\, automation\, analytics\, and low\-code platforms **📊 Live Demos** \| See the tools in action and try them yourself **🍹 Extended Networking** \| Connect with builders\, founders\, and operators *** ## 🧠 Topics & Speakers ### 🛠️ The Future of AI-Assisted App Building & AI Agents **Speaker: Akhilesh Balakrishnan (Zoho)** Directly from the Zoho team, Akhilesh will showcase the latest major updates in the low-code world in a demo-driven session: * **AI-Assisted App Building**: Build functional apps using natural language * **AI Agents**: Deploy intelligent assistants inside your workflow * **Live Interactive Demo**: Use a special signup link to follow along and test the features in real time *** ### ⚙️ Simplify Your Workflows with Agentic Skills **Speaker: Alexander Amin** Skills allow teams to turn expertise into reusable tools. Think of them as lightweight markdown-based building blocks that capture workflow knowledge and make it executable by an AI agent on demand. No SDK. No deployment. No boilerplate. Alexander will show how workflows can be turned into reusable “skills” that help teams automate recurring processes and scale execution without additional engineering overhead. *** ### 🤖 AI in E-Commerce: From Data to Beautiful Dashboards **Speaker: Matthias Siwy (MLC-Direct)** AI development are evolving rapidly, but the real leverage comes from combining them with existing company data. Matthias will share how teams use modern AI workflows and vibe-coding to move from raw data to working analytics interfaces in hours. *** ## 🍹 Networking & Logistics After the talks, stay for pizza and drinks. We have the space at the **Web3 Hub until 22:00**, giving everyone plenty of time to discuss the demos, share projects, and meet fellow innovators from the Berlin scene.

Wie auf dem Bild bereits ersichtlich "streckt" sich das Café, was uns eine besonders geeignete Basis für intensiven Austausch zwischen den Teilnehmern ermöglicht. Darüber hinaus gibt es hervorragenden Kaffee sowie Gebäck- und Kuchen-Spezialitäten, vielleicht sogar in einem besonderen Combo-Deal für BNB-Teilnehmer. ;-) Vor Ort gibt es wie gewohnt frische Geschäftskontakte, neue Denkansätze und interessante Kooperationsmöglichkeiten. Wir stoßen dies durch eine moderierte Kontaktrunde an, in der sich jeder Teilnehmer kurz vorstellen (ca. 1 Minute) und anschließend intensiven Austausch mit den anderen Teilnehmern betreiben kann.

Confidence & Connection: Using Your Authentic Truth to Find Your People
Confidence & Connection: Using Your Authentic Truth to Find Your People
**Confidence & Connection: Using Your Authentic Truth to Find Your People** Confidence isn’t just about believing in yourself, it’s about knowing where you belong and who you can grow alongside. In this April Confidence Lab Happy Hour, we’ll explore how living in your authentic truth helps you find your people, build meaningful collaborations, and create spaces where vulnerability is met with respect rather than risk. Together, we’ll reflect on what it looks like to advocate for yourself with clarity and care, and how confidence deepens when it’s rooted in connection rather than comparison. Featured speaker **Lachandra Baker**, founder of **[LBB Edutainment](https://www.lbbedutainment.com/)** and author of *Your Own Biggest Cheerleader*, will share reflections on authenticity, psychological safety, and the power of community over individual achievement. Drawing from personal stories—including the significance of turning 53—Lachandra will invite us into a conversation about showing up fully, being seen, and choosing relationships that support who you truly are. Expect a warm, welcoming atmosphere with space for reflection, shared insight, and intentional connection—plus drinks, light bites, and the kind of conversations that remind you you’re not meant to do this alone. Come as you are. Leave feeling clearer about your voice, your people, and the confidence that grows when both are aligned. **What is Confidence Lab?** Confidence Lab is a monthly community experience for bold, thoughtful leaders building confidence from the inside out. Whether you’re launching a business, leading a team, navigating change, or simply striving to show up more fully—you belong here. Our work demands clarity, courage, and conviction—but the pace of daily life can erode our sense of self. Confidence Lab creates space to reflect, reconnect, and grow with others doing purpose-driven work. It’s designed for entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, creatives, corporate professionals, activists, and anyone ready to lead with authenticity and impact. ***Please note:*** *All are welcome! If cost is a concern, please use promo code PUBLIC to access a free ticket—we want you to join us.*
