Lean Change Agent - 2-Tages Onsite Zertifikatstraining
# đ Lean Change Agent Zertifikatstraining: Weg von MasterplĂ€nen, hin zu echter Wirkung (ZĂŒrich)
**VerÀnderung in Organisationen scheitert oft an starren PlÀnen und fehlendem Dialog.** In einer komplexen Welt brauchen wir keine dickeren Konzepte, sondern schnellere Experimente und echtes Stakeholder-Engagement.
Dieses Training ist kein theoretischer Frontalunterricht. Wir arbeiten zwei Tage lang intensiv an **PraxisfÀllen**, damit du am Montag darauf sofort wirksam wirst.

Workshop details
Track 1
Title: Design-to-Code with Antigravity and Stitch MCPDescription: Build a production-ready website by bridging AI-driven design with an agent-first development environment. You will use Google Stitch to generate a high-fidelity UI, then connect it to the Antigravity IDE via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Finally, you will use an autonomous agent to fetch the "Design DNA" and implement a pixel-perfect React application.
Track 2
Title: Build a Multimodal AI Agent with Graph RAG, ADK & Memory BankDescription: Build an intelligent disaster response system by combining a graph database with multimodal AI and multi-agent orchestration. You will use Cloud Spanner Graph and Gemini embeddings to build a Survivor Network Database with hybrid search, then visualize the complex relationships using a React and Three.js frontend. Finally, you will use the Agent Development Kit (ADK) to coordinate specialized workflows and integrate the Vertex AI Memory Bank to enable long-term, personalized interactions.
OWASP Switzerland Community Event, May 2026
The OWASP community is getting together for another meetup in May 2026! Join us for some security talks đ, good company đ€, and a little aperitif đ.
**Program:**
**16:00** - **Doors open**: Grab a drink, meet old and new friends from the OWASP Switzerland community
**16:30** - **Hello from OWASP Switzerland**
**16:40 - Talk: Securing Your Code & Environment in the Age of AI-Accelerated Threats (Markus Rollwagen, Senior Solutions Architect, AWS)**
**17:25** **-** **(10min break)**
**17:35 - Talk: Using HoneyPots to protect critical Infrastructure (Giulio Grazzi, Head IT Security, SRF)**
**18:35** - **(10min break)**
**18:45 - Talk: We Tried to Detect Prompt Injection in Coding Agents. Here's What Broke (Paulo Martins, Principal Security Engineer, GitLab)**
**19:30 - Networking & Pizza đ & Aperitif**đ·- Grab a bite and chat with old and new friends
**Talks Details:**
**Securing Your Code & Environment in the Age of AI-Accelerated Threats (Markus):**
AI keeps shortening the mean time from vulnerability disclosure to exploitation. This talk will discuss a playbook security teams can apply today â covering the CSA "Mythos-Ready" framework, AWS Security Agent, agentic threat modeling, and the fundamentals that continue to work
**Using HoneyPots to protect critical Infrastructure (Giulio):**
How do you protect your critical infrastructure in the days of agentic ai and very limited options on your hosts? You need to get creative and use stone age tech. Iâll give you some insights, from our journey and pitfalls you might be facing (and should be avoided :))
**We Tried to Detect Prompt Injection in Coding Agents. Here's What Broke (Paulo):**
As a community, we are delegating a significant part of our development workflow to agents, and as the use cases grow, the risk of prompt injection keeps increasing - to the point that it made it to the top of the OWASP LLM Top 10. In this talk, I'll explore the concept of "detect and prevent prompt injection" and why it is particularly hard to do for coding agents.
**Speaker Details:**
**Markus Rollwagen**
Senior Solutions Architect at AWS, based in Switzerland
Markus enjoys deep dive technical discussions, while keeping an eye on the big picture and the customer goals. With a software engineering background, he embraces infrastructure as code and is passionate about all things security.
**Giulio Grazzi**
Head IT Security, SRF
From bike messaging to networking to infosec - always maximize never max out. Currently at Schweizer Radio und Fernsehen dealing with all Infosec topics, background in networking, embedded devices and mobile security.
**Paulo Martin**
Principal Security Engineer, GitLab since 2021
Now focused on AI security: prompt injection, sandboxing, and keeping agentic workflows from doing things they shouldn't.
Impact Over Perfection â A Practical Approach to Accessibility
Accessibility often feels overwhelming with all its guidelines, standards and edge cases. But in practice, meaningful improvements donât require perfection. They require empathy and a sincere motivation to create a truly usable experience for all.
In this talk, we share real learnings from UX and UI projects: what actually made a difference, where teams struggled, and how small, deliberate changes created a much more inclusive experience.
Youâll walk away with a practical mindset and actionable ideas to start improving accessibility in your own projects â without waiting for the âperfectâ solution.

Talk 1
Title: From DevOps to AI-Driven Software Delivery: The Sanitas journey
Speaker: Norwin Metzger & Patrick Del Conte, Sanitas
Description: 80% of Sanitas' workloads run on Google Cloud, serving 15 development teams. Over the past few years, the platform team standardized CI/CD, shifted to an API-first cloud model, and enforced GitOps and Infrastructure-as-Code â not just for operational hygiene, but as the foundation for what comes next: autonomous AI coding agents that implement features, review code, design architectures, and flag security issues. This talk covers the journey from platform engineering to AI-driven delivery, what's already running in production, and what it means for development teams when the agent ships and the human approves.

Web Zurich Mai 2026
Web Zurich presents inspiring talks all about the web. Join us for the Mai 2026 meetup! We will have three talks as well as chit-chat and drinks.
Whatapp: [https://chat.whatsapp.com/FxOfVTK9nf431xHtVl3eGK](https://chat.whatsapp.com/FxOfVTK9nf431xHtVl3eGK)
Website: [https://webzurich.ch](https://webzurich.ch)
18:30 \~ 19:00
Arrival time with drinks, chat
19:00 \~ 19:10
Welcome and introduction
19:10 \~ 19:30
*Alex Suzuki*
**Monetizing JavaScript: Building Profitable Products as a Solo Developer**
Lessons learned from building and launching a commercial JavaScript library as a solo developer.
19:30 \~ 19:50
*Hugo Sousa*
**Ten times tea**
I'm building a programming language. When I got to the frontend, I ran into a problem: React's mental model is elegant, but the mental model is at odds with the code. Hooks, effects, and render passes create a runtime that bears little resemblance to the code we write. The Elm programming language works differently and its architecture (TEA = The Elm Architecture) has been adopted by other tools over the years.
So I copied it as well. My language embeds TEA at the language level, not as a library. This unlocks time-travel debugging, reproducible application state and serializable bug reports that include the entire program state.
This talk covers the quick introduction of my language, TEA, why TEA is the right fit and what becomes possible when the architecture is baked into the language itself.
19:50 \~ 20:10
*Marco GĂ€hler*
**Software testing**
Many old software projects don't have any tests - if the code works, why should you bother with tests? Well, you really should bother, because code changes all the time. During development, you keep adding new features which at times requires large scale modifications of the code that will inevitably alter existing functionality. And in existing projects, one still has to make updates once in a while, for example for security patches. These things will always break existing functionality and tests are the only remedy against this issue.
In this talk, we will look at the basic idea of tests, how to implement them, what issues to look out for and how you can test pretty much any piece of code if your code base is well structured.
20:10 onward
More drinks & chat
We look forward to see you there!

Handstand Training (Open Level)
Sundays, 2pm-3pm.
Trial class: CHF 20
Drop-in: CHF 35
Book here: www.balancewithale.com/zurich/handstand
"I'll never be able to handstand".
You kick at the wall but see no progress.
Your wrists hurt.
You don't know how to improve...
It doesn't have to be this way.
Progress doesn't come from trying harder â it comes from practicing smarter. Handstands are a skill, and when you train them as such, they begin to click in a way that feels almost magical.
This class builds the foundations (strength, alignment and technique) that make handstands feel achievable and fun. Through clear progressions and personalized drills, you'll discover how capable your body truly is, and how handstands start to feel within reach when you train with intention and support.
Because drills are tailored to you, the class welcomes all levels â from "I've never kicked up before" to confident freestanding balancers who want to develop greater control.
Swimming in the Limmat
Hello dear Challengers,
if you wish to join the Limmat swim and strengthen your body, join me to that swim. I will give you a short introduction on the "why" you should do it and then you will tell me if you want to do it. I am a trained lifeguard (SLRG), I did also the Hypothermia Module and I am swimming in the cold since 2015.
Take with you all the necessary to swim, flip/flop, safe buoy (something like the orange donut here below, if you have it) and a Thermos.

MĂ€ng - transformational game
EXPERIENCE PHILOSOPHICAL SYNCRETISM, INNER ALCHEMY, AND GAME SPIRIT.
Try a live (private) session of **MĂ€ng (offline in ZĂŒrich or online worldwide)**, a powerful self-exploration game that helps uncover hidden mental scripts and rewire the way you think, feel and act. It is a tool for a really **profound change** that follows the four stages of inner alchemy.
A modernized version of an ancient contemplative practice, reimagined as a transformational tool based on psychological insight, symbolic logic, and inner strategy, it is not therapy or coaching in the traditional sense. Instead, itâs an immersive deep-dive into the unconscious mind through metaphor and archetype with a game spirit.
đĄ **How it works:**
MĂ€ng is built on four stages of real, lasting change:
1. **Discovery** â Identify limiting beliefs and internal programs
2. **Uninstallation** â Let go of outdated patterns
3. **Design** â Create new mental strategies
4. **Integration** â Embed them into your deeper awareness
Youâll be guided through this process by the **Master of MĂ€ng**, who offers structure, questions, and insight, while you remain the one making all decisions and discoveries.
đż **Who is this for?**
For everyone (regardless of beliefs, age, gender, etc.), but more than anyone - for those who didn't find answers or sufficient depth in pop coaching and psychology.
đ **Important:**
This is a deep game. A full session lasts **4 hours**. Time slots are defined individually. Contact me directly to get an appointment.
Price for newbies: 250 CHF

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Finding Product Insights
**The Behavior Gap: Where Products Win or Lose**
Teams today have more data than ever, and yet many still struggle to understand why customers adopt, engage with, or abandon their products. Teams sprint, ship faster, and chase more signals⊠all while metrics stall and confidence drops. The missing piece isnât more data. Itâs often the behavioral insight between the metrics, explaining why the numbers move in the first place. Dashboards can tell you what customers did, but understanding why they did it (and how to influence what they do next) requires a deeper blend of insights. This session is about closing that gap.
Drawing from real-world experience designing and scaling products as [ZoCo Design](https://zocodesign.com/)âs CEO, [Lacey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) will share how to cut through the noise and identify the insights that actually change behaviorâmoving people, and moving metrics. Youâll learn:
* Why understanding customer behavior is a quant and qual challenge
* How to spot the signals that actually predict behavior change
* Where AI accelerates insight, and where it creates distraction
* How to get meaningfully closer to customers, without adding more tools
This talk reframes how to evaluate performance and identify what levers actually improve it, helping your team to make smarter bets with greater confidence. Every meaningful outcome is driven by behavior change. And when you know how to design for behavior, you stop guessing, and start building things that work.
**About Our Speaker**
[Lacey Picazo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) is the Founder and CEO of ZoCo, a healthcare product studio that turns complex, high-stakes ideas into products that drive real-world adoption. She partners with healthcare organizations to uncover critical care delivery insights, focus product strategy through behavior design, and build solutions that patients and providers actually use.

**Abstract**
Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod.
