Krzysztof Radecki \(CTO\, DAC\.Digital\) & Josua Ziegler \(CEO\, punktum\)*** **Hört auf zu prompten, fangt an zu managen: Agente-basierte KI in großem Maßstab orchestrieren** Wir fragen uns immer wieder, wie wir KI-Agenten leistungsfähiger machen können. Aber wie sieht es damit aus, sie steuerbar zu machen? Dieser Vortrag beginnt mit einem Überblick über die Landschaft der agente-basierten KI – denn bevor man in großem Maßstab orchestrieren kann, muss man wissen, wo man tatsächlich steht und was wirklich benötigt wird. Dann wird es konkret: ein echtes Plattformprojekt, eine kühne stadtweite Vision und ein einziges LLM, das diese nicht umsetzen konnte. Die Lösung war kein besserer Prompt. Es war besseres Management – klar definierte Rollen, eindeutige Aufgabenverteilung und ein System, das weiß, wer verfügbar ist und worin die jeweiligen Stärken liegen. Die Prinzipien, die menschliche Teams in großem Maßstab funktionieren lassen? Sie gelten auch für KI. Und das verändert die Art und Weise, wie man entwickelt. ***2\. Johannes Rave \(Senior Consultant\, InnoQ\)*** **No Constrain, No Gain** *Struktur für den Agent, Klarheit für den Menschen, Flexibilität für das Unternehmen* KI-Codierungsagenten sind bemerkenswert gut darin, Code zu erstellen. Ob dieser Code jedoch die tatsächlichen Anforderungen des Unternehmens widerspiegelt – und ob er auch sechs Monate später noch sinnvoll ist –, ist eine ganz andere Frage. Die Versuchung ist groß, dies als ein Problem der Eingabeaufforderung zu betrachten – dem Agenten mehr Kontext, bessere Anweisungen und klarere Ziele zu geben. Ein oft übersehener Hebel ist die Beachtung der Architektur. Wenn die Domänenlogik ihren eigenen, klar abgegrenzten Platz hat, getrennt von der technischen Infrastruktur um sie herum, geschieht etwas Interessantes: Der Agent bleibt fokussiert, der Mensch kann tatsächlich prüfen, was wichtig ist, und das Ganze bleibt offen für Änderungen, ohne dass eine Neuprogrammierung erforderlich ist. Dieser Vortrag stellt einen Ansatz vor, wie man dorthin gelangt – und wie einige gut platzierte Einschränkungen Ihnen Freiheit verschaffen können. ***3\. Julian Kling \(Data Analytics Consultant\, Infomotion\)*** **Beyond OCR: Intelligent Document Processing with LLMs & Agents** Zwei Jahrzehnte lang bedeutete Dokumentenverarbeitung OCR in Verbindung mit Vorlagen – anfällige Abläufe, die immer dann ins Stocken gerieten, wenn ein Anbieter sein Layout änderte. Große Sprachmodelle (LLMs) und agentische Architekturen schreiben dieses Drehbuch gerade neu. In diesem Vortrag wird anhand realer Kundenanwendungsfälle aus den Bereichen Rechnungswesen, Zeiterfassung und Testberichte erläutert, wie ein moderner Stack für intelligente Dokumentenverarbeitung tatsächlich aussieht. #### 🎯 Für wen ist das Event gedacht: * Unternehmen, die sich mit dem **praktischen Einsatz von KI** beschäftigen * **Innovations**\- und **Digitalverantwortliche** * **Produkt**\- und **Tech**-Teams * **Startups** und **Gründungsteams** im AI-Umfeld * alle die mehr über die Bereichen **Cybersecurity** und **Trustworthy AI** lernen wollen \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Registrierung nur über Eventbrite:** [👉](https://www.meetup.com/de-DE/berlin-digital-business-network-sibb/events/313709910/?eventOrigin=group_events_list) https://www.eventbrite.de/e/1986992275384👈

AI is rapidly changing how work gets done. Tasks that used to require experience, facilitation, or coordination can now be supported, or even replaced, by tools. So what does that mean for roles like Scrum Master or Agile Coach? * Will these roles disappear? * Will they evolve? * Or are we asking the wrong question entirely? This meetup is not a talk. It’s a **fishbowl discussion**. An interactive format where you can actively shape the conversation. 🧠 **What we’ll explore** Together, we’ll dive into questions like: * Which parts of our roles are already being automated? * Where do Agile Coaches struggle to create real impact today? * What skills might become obsolete? * What new capabilities might become critical? 🎤 **Format** * Short framing to set the stage * You bring your questions and perspectives * We collect key topics from everyone * Open fishbowl discussion (5 chairs, dynamic participation) * Moderated by Robert Briese, CEO Lean Sherpas GmbH You can jump in, leave your seat, and contribute at any time. 👥 **Who this is for** * Scrum Masters & Agile Coaches * People working in or transitioning into agile roles * Anyone questioning the future of their role 💡 **Why join** Most AI discussions stay at the level of tools or fear. This session is about **making sense of what it actually means for you**. Btw: This meetup is part of a 3-part series leading up to a special event with the author of *10xOrg* in June.

Join us for our second Berlin Tech Talk: Together in DEIB – Redefining Tech Culture Beyond “Always-On.” In recognition of this year's Stress Awareness Month theme #BeTheChange, we’re bringing together leading voices from the tech industry for a panel discussion on how we can start shifting away from the “always-on” culture that has become common in the world of technology.

In the midst of life’s storms—whether in relationships, work, or within ourselves—it can be difficult to find clarity and calm. The “I” Of the Storm: Embracing Conflict, Creating Peace, based on the work of Dr. Gary Simmons, invites you to discover the steady center within—the part of you that remains grounded even when everything around you is in motion. Led by Brian Drafton-Griffin, this engaging workshop offers practical tools and meaningful insights to help you navigate conflict with greater awareness, compassion, and confidence. Through guided discussion and reflection, you’ll learn how to shift from reaction to response and transform challenges into opportunities for growth and connection.

This is a free, in person meeting. Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
