At the BIG BANG KI Festival 2025 in Berlin, Strametz received the “5-star recommendation from verified customers”. For us, this is a valuable award that underlines our pioneering work in leadership development. But what significance does this honor have at a time when artificial intelligence is fundamentally changing the world of work?
Award for innovation in personnel development
On September 10, 2025, Katharina Schlichting, our Marketing Manager, and Anne-Kathrin Fritzsch, Customer Relations Manager, received the coveted award from the German Innovation Institute (DIIND) in cooperation with DUP UNTERNEHMER. The “5-star recommendation from verified customers” recognizes our commitment to innovative personnel development concepts and confirms that HR managers find real added value for their leadership development in our Leadership Simulation.
BIG BANG KI Festival 2025: Where the future is created
The BIG BANG KI Festival impressively demonstrated the transformative power that arises when over 8,000 people from politics, business and tech come together. Digital Minister Karsten Wildberger summed up the urgency: “Germany needs to flip the switch in its head when it comes to artificial intelligence. And quickly.”
These words underline what we experience in practice every day: AI is developing faster than ever before and will become even more crucial in 2026. New technologies are emerging, new business models are revolutionizing industries and, at the same time, completely new challenges are emerging for managers and HR innovation.
Together with numerous other entrepreneurs who received awards in various categories, we spent an inspiring evening networking and celebrating the diversity of innovative solutions.
People remain central – especially in the AI era
While AI is undoubtedly important and is already shaping our everyday working lives, one constant will remain: people in companies. And where people work, they also lead. This realization is at the heart of our philosophy and is what makes our leadership simulation so valuable, especially in times of AI change.
Why human leadership is becoming more important, not less important
Paradoxically, the more technical our working world becomes, the more important human skills become for managers:
- Emotional complexity: Leadership is becoming more emotional and complex. Teams must learn to work with AI tools while retaining their human strengths
- Accelerated change: The speed of change requires managers to be more flexible and adaptable than ever before
- Strategic realignment: AI should relieve managers of administrative tasks so that they have more time for the essentials – people
Leadership simulation: Stability in digital change
Our leadership simulation ensures stability in dealing with people even in times of AI change. It thus aims to sustainably improve leadership in Germany. While AI optimizes administrative processes, we focus on developing the skills that no machine can replace.
How our simulation fits into the AI setting
The integration of AI in companies opens up new fields of application for our leadership simulation. It can be used specifically in various areas:
- As a potential analysis to assess leadership skills in hybrid-digital teams
- In talent management and learning & development for the practical development of your talents and managers in agile settings
- Or implemented as a building block in the holistic HR development of young managers
The leadership simulation creates a safe space in which managers can experiment, learn and grow – without the risks of making real mistakes in an agile leadership context.
Further training for the future
In a world where business models can change overnight, continuous training is becoming a survival factor. Our leadership simulation combines proven leadership principles with the requirements of the digital future. In this way, it creates a bridge between traditional leadership excellence and the challenges of the AI era.
