AI Driven Virtualization as a Key to Success

This was the motto of yesterday’s 3rd Ansys Executive Round Table at BMW World in Munich and also the title of my keynote speech.

Together with Scott Parent, I had the privilege of moderating the workshop with a dozen digital Leaders from various industries and discussing the different perspectives.

A thousand thanks to all the participants and Leaders for the exciting discussion and valuable contributions.
This allowed us to discuss the Digital & AI NorthStar from different starting points, evaluate Use Cases according to their Business Value, and talk about road maps, teams & organizations, as well as existing stumbling blocks and Obstacles.

For me, in addition to value first, the 3 areas of application remain crucial:
AI as an everyday Assistant,
AI integrated into our Development and Business Processes, and
AI in products or vehicles.

In addition to processes, methods, and tools, Soft Factors are particularly important: culture, playgrounds, leadership, mindset, and, above all, Digital Courage.

Many thanks to René Kapa for the invitation, Marco Lanfrit for the organization and hosting; Ralph Habig for the wrap-up; and Katja Grünwald for the agile support and orchestration on site.
