The Objectives of the research paper are investigations in how a disruptive Mindset can have effects on interaction by representatives of German Authorities in times of crisis. The interdisciplinary focus of human transformative learning maybe sets linking options to machine learning approaches to speed up qualified decision making. The Approach is in addition to an introduction of implementation strategies for AI technology in the local governance of German Municipalities, what competencies of persons in charge are required to get use of technological possibilities. In this respect, the investigation bases on findings of three studies in field of “scenarios for AI in the public sector”, “AI as impact on competencies in the field of corporate finance” and “competencies in a digitalized working environment”.
