AI in savings banks: challenges and solutions for middle management

Artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly available in savings banks – but actual use by employees often falls short of expectations. In this compact AI Coffee Break session, we discuss typical challenges, highlight success factors for change management, and provide concrete ideas on how AI can be sustainably integrated into everyday work in a way that is also accepted by employees.

The potential applications of artificial intelligence are diverse, and AI is also increasingly changing everyday work at savings banks, primarily through FI solutions such as the S-KIPilot. But AI is not a sure-fire success. Middle management in particular faces the challenge of operationalising AI projects and managing change processes.

In our AI Coffee Break

  • you will learn about the challenges that frequently arise when introducing AI in savings banks,
  • learn how change management can help to get employees excited about AI and engage them in the long term,
  • see practical examples of how AI is being successfully integrated into banking processes – including examples from the S-KIPilot,
  • gain insights into support services available to accompany your AI initiatives,

and discuss open questions and possible solutions with experts and colleagues.

This event is part of the ‘AI Coffee Break’ series – our compact format covering the latest trends and applications in artificial intelligence. In a relaxed atmosphere, you will gain exciting, independent insights into various facets of AI technology over a hot cup of coffee.

This event is aimed at innovation managers, change managers, digitalisation officers and middle managers of savings banks who want to successfully operationalise AI in their organisation and sustainably increase employee acceptance.
