CQM Talks

Inspiring talks on AI, data science, and better decision-making

Data science, AI, and optimization are everywhere. But what do these developments actually mean for your organization, processes, and decisions?

With CQM Talks, our consultants bring complex topics into the real world. No hype or abstract theory, but concrete insights from projects with organizations in logistics, industry, supply chains, production, quality management, and innovation.

Whether you are organizing a conference, planning a customer event, or looking to inspire colleagues during a knowledge-sharing session, our speakers show how data, statistics, and mathematical models can help organizations make better decisions.

New perspectives on today’s challenges

AI, data science, and optimization are developing at a rapid pace. Organizations are constantly looking for ways to translate these developments into better processes, smarter decisions, and new opportunities.

A CQM Talk therefore explores questions such as:

Which applications create real value in practice?
How are organizations successfully using data and AI?
Which insights can support better decision-making?
How do you deal with uncertainty and complexity?
What can we learn from the experiences of other organizations?

Our talks combine current developments with real-world examples and new perspectives. Participants gain not only new knowledge, but also inspiration to look at their own challenges differently.

45+ years of experience

Working with AI, statistics, and optimization since 1979

In-depth expertise

Academic knowledge combined with extensive domain experience

Real-world examples

Cases from projects in Supply Chain & Logistics and Industry & Innovation

From models to real-world impact

What happens when organizations use AI without a clear objective?

Why do some optimization projects deliver immediate results while others fail to get off the ground?

And how do you deal with uncertainty in a world where markets, raw materials, customer behavior, and technology are constantly changing?

Our consultants share insights gained from decades of real-world projects. Not only what worked, but also the decisions that had to be made and the lessons learned along the way.

It is this combination of subject-matter expertise and practical experience that makes a CQM Talk relevant to both management and specialists.
