The Challenge.
The task
we faced.
How can a shared understanding of future topics be developed interactively? Which technologies and tools are currently decisive? Where can they be applied inside the company?
The Solution.
Was wir daraus
gemacht haben.
The FUTURE CANDY Inspiration Lab
The FUTURE CANDY INSPIRATION LAB is made up of three essential parts: expert input through keynotes, interactive play sessions and, finally, developing ideas together. The first day of the INSPIRATION LAB focused on the metaverse. A keynote gave participants a comprehensive insight into the concept. The first play session followed: all participants received VR headsets and entered the metaverse. Further technologies were then presented and tested. To close, the experiences were discussed and the potential and the limits of the technology were captured. The second day started with a keynote focusing on artificial intelligence. In the play session that followed, participants were first shown how to work with current AI applications such as ChatGPT, Midjourney (AI image generation) and Gamma.ai (AI presentation generation). In a second step, the AI tools were tested against various tasks and their possible uses in everyday work were discussed. In the second half of the day, participants developed various ideas in groups that transferred what they had learned to solving concrete internal problems. A wide range of design thinking methods was used for this: starting with an analysis of potential and problem areas, through various methods for finding, enriching and validating ideas, all the way to prototyping and a pitch of each group's favourite idea.
What stuck
in the end.
A shared understanding of the terms metaverse and AI, understanding the potential of current technologies through expert input and hands-on sessions, and developing their own ideas for applying them in the company.
