Zug Tech Breakfast Circle
AI Readiness & Governance Briefing
An AI breakfast event where unfiltered challenges and shared solutions are discussed
Ready to use AI in your business — but not sure where to even start?
Are you a business leader, innovator, or decision‑maker who is ready to use AI, but unsure where to start?
AI is no longer a future trend. It is already reshaping business processes, compliance requirements, and leadership expectations. Organisations that want to benefit from AI must not only innovate: they must govern responsibly, navigate regulation.
Join us for this edition of the Zug Tech Breakfast Circle, where three speakers share practical insights from real‑world AI governance, SME adoption, and next‑generation digital experts.
After the sessions, Christine will work through real business cases together and discuss how governance, risk, and agile execution intersect.
Session 1
Business Enabler to Corporations: AI Governance
AI governance is no longer optional. It belongs at the decision table and has become a marker of strong leadership.
Agnes Bade, LL.M.
VP Head Group AI & Digital Law
The Adecco Group
Session 2
Swiss SMEs — Stuck Between Innovation and Anxiety
Most Swiss SMEs want to adopt AI but feel overwhelmed by the options, the jargon, and the rules.
How can they move forward effectively and safely?
Stefan Groetz
AI Governance Professional, Risk Manager, MBA
Session 3
AI‑Compliant AI Product Demo
“What if your best expert never retired?”
Derek demonstrates a virtual persona that thinks, speaks, and advises based on the lived experience of the expert who created it, showcasing governance and compliance built directly into the product design.
Derek Smith
COO, 4th‑IR
Interactive Case Analysis
Christine will present three real business cases that failed due to gaps in governance and agile project management.
Together with the speakers, we will analyse what went wrong and what organisations can learn from it.
To ensure high-quality peer-to-peer exchange, we are limiting the attendance to 30.
