Kick-off of the LM AI League: Developing AI use cases together
With football shirts, stadium sausages and exciting presentations, the starting signal was given at LM for the LM AI League. The internal format combines knowledge building, practical experimentation and friendly competition on the topic of artificial intelligence.
The aim of the initiative is to further expand AI expertise within the company and at the same time develop concrete use cases that create real added value in everyday working life.
Kick-off of the LM AI League: Developing AI use cases together
With football shirts, stadium sausages and exciting presentations, the starting signal was given at LM for the LM AI League. The internal format combines knowledge building, practical experimentation and friendly competition on the topic of artificial intelligence.
The aim of the initiative is to further expand AI expertise within the company and at the same time develop specific use cases that create real added value in everyday working life.
Knowledge building at the start
At the start of the AI League, the focus was initially on learning together. In several workshops participants were able to focus on various AI topics and expand their knowledge. These included the possibilities offered by Microsoft Copilot and Copilot Chat, the development of customised agents in the Microsoft 365 Copilot, as well as workflows, triggers and actions in Copilot Studio. Participants were free to choose which workshops they would like to attend. In this way, everyone was able to receive further training in the areas that are particularly relevant to their own work.
Seven teams develop their own use cases
After the workshop phase, things got sporty: the participants were divided into seven mixed teams. The teams will meet regularly throughout the year to exchange ideas and develop their concepts step by step. The focus is on the question, how AI can be used in everyday working life, for example, to support processes, make better use of existing tools or develop new solutions for employees and customers.
At the end, a winning team is honoured. It is not only the developed use case itself that counts. Active participation, newly acquired Microsoft certifications or badges are also included in the assessment. Equally important is the transfer of knowledge within the company, for example when teams share their experiences and best practices with others.
A format for innovation and collaboration
The AI League is accompanied by joint events and dialogue formats throughout the year. This creates a framework in which new ideas are encouraged, knowledge is shared and employees can work together on solutions. The coming months will show which use cases emerge from the teams. One thing is already certain: The LM AI League brings people together, promotes dialogue and at the same time strengthens AI skills throughout the company.
