    Mind the (AI) Gap: Leadership Makes the Difference
    Weltweit nutzen immer mehr Unternehmen aus allen Branchen künstliche Intelligenz (KI) und Machine-Learning mit großem Erfolg. Unternehmen versprechen sich von der erfolgreichen Implementierung von KI-Technologien revolutionäre Fortschritte im Geschäftsbetrieb und signifikante Wettbewerbsvorteile. Die Anwendung und der Erfolg von KI sind jedoch ungleichmäßig verteilt.

He is a core member of BCG’s People & Organization and Operations practice areas, and specializes in change management, HR, and people change implementation. He is an expert and leader in the people side of transformations, postmerger integrations, carve-outs, reorganizations, and restructurings.  The current focus of his work is supporting the people change in large-scale transformations, in both the automotive and banking sectors.
