From AI-enabled to AI-first

Teaming with AI: A Practical Introduction to Working with AI as a Group

Collaboration-first, management-relevant

A free 2-hour interactive session with Markus Hormeß. Experience how teams — not just individuals — can work with AI to improve clarity, creativity, and decision-making. You’ll leave with one concrete experiment to try in your own team or leadership group. A teaser for the upcoming 2–3 day Teaming with AI Deep Dive.

What it is about

AI is entering every part of work, but the real shift is not technical. It is social.The moment AI joins a group of people with shared goals, roles, and pressures, the dynamics of that team begin to change. Ways of working change. Expectations change. What “good work” looks like changes. And teams quickly discover that there is no stable playbook to follow.This focused 2-hour interactive session introduces the core ideas behind Teaming with AI by bringing you into that playing field directly. Markus Hormeß will guide you through a fast, practical exploration of what changes when AI becomes part of a real team system — not as a tool in someone’s pocket, but as something influencing context, roles, coordination, and outcomes.

What you will do

You will start with a short, accessible overview: how teams move from simply being “AI-enabled” to genuinely rethinking their workflow; why efficiency is only one quadrant of the conversation; and why impact emerges when AI literacy, domain expertise, and experimentation come together inside a team.Then we go hands-on. In small groups, you will collaborate with an AI tool on a concrete challenge. You will experience how teams shift from creating to curating, how assumptions surface faster, how decisions accelerate — and how overload, misalignment, or hidden fears can just as easily slow everything down. This practical exercise makes visible the tensions many teams face: the pressure to move faster, the need to learn deliberately, and the importance of psychological safety when introducing AI as a “new team member.”We close with a brief reflection and a simple next step: one small, low-risk experiment you can try with your own team or leadership group. This invites you into a shared practice of experimentation rather than isolated efforts by a few frontrunners — strengthening both team learning and organisational readiness.

What you will get

What you will get out of this session

• A grounded understanding of how AI changes teamwork — not in theory, but in the lived experience of a small challenge.
• A clearer view of where value actually emerges when teams combine domain insight, AI capability, and iterative learning.
• A safe way to begin — one practical experiment you can try next week with your own team or as a leader supporting others.

This session serves as an introduction to the upcoming 2–3 day Teaming with AI Deep Dive, where teams explore deeper questions of onboarding AI, evolving ways of working, and shaping the structures and strategies that help organisations learn and adapt faster within an changing environment or competitive landscape.

How to prepare

Please bring a phone, tablet, or laptop with access to an AI tool (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, etc.). Free versions work. Charge your battery and bring your curiosity. Note: We will work in teams of 3–4 people sharing one device, so not everyone needs an account.
