<p>Senior Strategic Director</p><p><br/></p><p>»From carmaker to digital service provider« || Joint presentation with Matthias Schröer || The world of the automobile industry has changed more in the past 10 years than in the century before that.

<p>Managing Director || CEO</p><p><br/></p><p>»Digitalisation brings a shift in focus’« || Joint presentation with Christian Wendrock-Prechtl || As we enter the era of the Internet of Things, an era in which the boundaries between products, brands and digital technology are becoming increasingly blurred, now is the time to ask ourselves: what defines a brand? Where does it start, and where does it end? How far does a brand and its corporate design need to go, what impact does digitalisation have on a brand?

<p>Innovation Specialist</p><p><br/></p><p>»Spirit of discovery – Embracing change« || Change is something we have to deal with every day – and often in a negative sense. We’re constantly hearing about digitalisation and globalisation, about blockchain and various platforms, and how all of these things are putting pressure on our businesses.

No, it would not – not from our point of view.

Multiple studies show that nobody reads online contracts, terms of service or privacy policies, yet they contain information that are important to everyday people and overall societal welfare. Why is law so poorly communicated?

<p>Head of Research &amp; Trend Scout</p><p><br/></p><p>»THE ART OF CONSTANTLY REINVENTING ONE’S FUTURE« || Were we to liken the economic environment of the industrial age to a game of Ludo, then what lies ahead is more akin to the modern Xbox or PS4 type of gaming. From this perspective, the discrepancies become obvious and they demonstrate that our daily lives will be heavily influenced by a new reality.
