From curiosity to innovation

AI as a toy in the office

Imagine if artificial intelligence wasn’t just another buzzword in your meetings, but the coolest toy you’ve ever gotten your hands on. Sounds crazy? Maybe. But that’s exactly how we initially viewed the new technology. After all, we knew that it would change our everyday lives, whether we wanted
to or not.

When work becomes play

Do you remember the feeling when you started a new video game for the first time? That mixture of excitement and curiosity? That’s exactly the feeling we can use to bring AI into our companies!
The psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi called this “flow” – the state in which you are so absorbed that you forget time and space. Imagine if all your employees and colleagues worked on projects like this!
But wait a minute, isn’t it all a bit too playful for the serious business world? Not at all! Because this is precisely the key to the successful integration of new technologies.

Why playing is not childish

_01 Reducing anxiety:
Players forget their fear of the unknown. AI suddenly turns from a threatening black box into an exciting field of discovery.

_02 Motivation boost:
Autonomy, competence and team spirit – the holy trinity of motivation according to Deci and Ryan – are promoted through playful learning. Employees become explorers who set themselves challenges and find solutions together.

_03 Innovation turboboost:
Play becomes serious, curiosity becomes innovation! When employees are free to experiment, the most creative ideas often emerge.

The protected playground:
Space for experiments

Imagine having a sandbox in the middle of your office. A place where you could build, experiment and even make mistakes – without consequences. This is exactly our approach to AI integration:

_Freedom to experiment:
No pressure, no inflated expectations. Just pure curiosity and the freedom to try out new things.

Error-friendly environment:
Oops, the AI spit out nonsense? No problem! This is how we learn the most.

Cross-team discovery:
When the accountant and the graphic designer work on prompts together, the most exciting ideas and lasting learning success are created.

From the playground to the real world

But don’t worry, we won’t stay in the playground forever. After the initial experimentation phase, it’s time for the real challenges:

Application to real tasks: The AI skills acquired in the game are transferred to specific projects.

Quality assurance as a key competence: We have learned that trust is good, control is better. Yes, AI also makes mistakes! That’s why checking the AI results is the crucial final step.

Continuous learning: The AI world is constantly evolving – and we are evolving with it. Lifelong learning has never been more exciting!

The future is a game

By viewing AI as a fascinating toy, we turn potential resistance into enthusiasm and innovation. We create an environment in which employees enjoy experimenting, learning and growing – and become AI experts in the process. Even if things don’t always go smoothly, as can be the case with any experiment, we are certain: the journey from curiosity to innovation is like a rollercoaster ride – exciting, sometimes challenging, but so fascinating that you want to get back on again and again!
