Presentations & press: Share knowledge. Shaping the future.

Zukunft? Ja. Aber bitte in der richtigen Reihenfolge

Der Vortrag zeigt Baugeräteherstellern, warum nicht einzelne Technologien entscheidend sind, sondern die Frage, welche Rolle sie in den digital organisierten Baustellen ihrer Kunden bis 2035 spielen wollen – vom reinen Maschinenlieferanten bis zum Mitgestalter vernetzter Systeme. Im Mittelpunkt stehen Geschäftsmodelle rund um datenbasierte Services, Plattformlogiken und neue Bauverfahren – und die Konsequenz, Zukunftsthemen in klarer Reihenfolge anzugehen: Transparenz schaffen, ein Fokus‑Investment wählen, Organisation und Partnerschaften nachziehen.

Defense als Identitätsentscheidung – Wie Unternehmer in der Zeitenwende Zukunft gestalten

Der Vortrag zeigt Unternehmern: Der Einstieg in die Verteidigungsindustrie ist keine reine Marktentscheidung, sondern eine strategische Führungs- und Identitätsfrage. Wer seine Haltung klar definiert und ein überzeugendes Narrativ entwickelt, schafft Orientierung für Mitarbeiter, Kunden und Öffentlichkeit – und macht aus einer Chance eine tragfähige Strategie.

Diesen Vortrag habe ich mit einem Kurz-Workshop verbunden

Trust connects — How software providers in mechanical engineering are shaping the future

The presentation shows mechanical engineering software providers: Manufacturing X-Readiness is not achieved through technology alone, but through clear management decisions and strategic positioning.

Trust — in market presence, data sharing and product — is the new currency. Anyone who helps shape standards and sets clear limits becomes part of the infrastructure of networked ecosystems instead of just a software supplier.
