About

Afke did a great job engaging the participants in sharing their knowledge, experience, and challenges in AI projects. She guided the discussions well and where possible shared her own experience and great tips & tricks on how to make AI work in an organization. Her in depth knowledge of the industry helped us to put our own AI maturity in perspective. The course triggered us to take action in different areas, including introducing the role of analytics translator. The course is still discussed regularly internally, and it was a great inspiration for us. We are planning several next courses within our organization to bring the AI enabling to the next level

At our Innovation forum, Afke spoke about AI in a way that was easy to understand and made her talk personal, connecting to her own private life. She engaged the audience in an interactive way and helped us see how AI can be useful for us. She used her own experiences to explain things in a clear way. After listening to her, we all felt excited and ready to do more with AI in our company and embrace the topic in a positive way. If you want to learn about AI and how it can help, Afke is the person to talk to.

I have worked with Afke to generate AI Use Cases for Finance & Controlling of an SME (manufacturing Industry). The lean, structured process and the ability of Afke to ask the right questions were detrimental to successfully generate a large number of Use Cases. It did not stop there, as she also delivered clear guidance for next steps. If you do not know where to start with AI, I can strongly recommend to talk to Afke.

Afke moderated our committee retreat in April 2023. She helped us recognise the various things we want to do as a club, how we achieve them, the different roles needed to achieve them, and which roles are responsible for which achievement. She created an open, judgement-free environment where we were able to structure our thoughts and ideas. I felt highly appreciated in my view on things and can safely say that everyone felt the same way.

People enjoy listening to Afke's presentation. In her affable manner, she manages to distill complex matters into concise points using practical examples, and motivates the audience to question things.

At the FuW Insurance Broker forum hosted at the Gottlieb Duttweiller Institute, Afke gave a compelling impulse on the topic of ChatGPT. With a balanced view, she highlighted both the potential opportunities and challenges AI presents, especially in the insurance brokerage sector. Afke emphasized the importance of envisioning practical use cases, equipping our workforce with the right knowledge, and understanding AI's overarching impact on the workforce. It was an eye-opener for many of us, prompting critical thought about our current strategies and future directions. Anyone in the insurance sector looking to get a grasp on the evolving landscape of AI should undoubtedly engage in a conversation with Afke. She was eager to further engage with the community and answer questions after her presentation at the networking part. It was a pleasure to have her at the conference and I am looking forward to have her again at one of our events.
