Leaders today face complex situations that require not only decision-making, but also reflection, perspective-taking, and thoughtful preparation. Recent advances in generative AI open up the possibility of developing systems that support leaders as a structured sparring partner – for example in making sense of difficult situations, preparing sensitive conversations, or reflecting on possible courses of action.

The aim of this master’s thesis is to conceptualize, prototypically implement, and evaluate an AI Sparring Partner for leadership practice. The central question is how such a system should be designed in order to be perceived as useful, trustworthy, and meaningful in practice.

Possible elements of the thesis:

- Analysis of relevant challenges in leadership practice

- Derivation of requirements for an AI Sparring Partner

- Conceptualization and prototypical implementation of a system

- Evaluation with leaders from serviceware

- Derivation of design implications for research and practice

Requirements

- Interest in generative artificial intelligence, digital innovation, and leadership

- Willingness to work conceptually as well as prototypically

This thesis offers the opportunity to work on a highly relevant topic with direct practical relevance and to actively contribute to the development of an innovative AI-based support system.
