Markus Reimer Lecture Topics:

 

Sustainability – STOP FAST! BUT FOLLOW! – Save this one our future with sustainability.

Sustainability is a term that is used inflationarily. But no one doubts its relevance. And yet far too little is done accordingly: not only in companies. This lecture motivates to get interested, to think and above all to act.

• Sustainability – what it is and what it is not
• Three typical problems of people
• Sustainability: Standards. Practice. Motivation.

True Innovation – Why and how we have to think differently.

Everyone is talking about agility. It is seen as a panacea for the organization of the future. It isn’t. But without it, it will also be difficult; we have to become wiser. And more dynamic. More decentralized. And we need to take care of business philosophies.

• At least six fragile challenges of the future
• Seven necessary conditions of agile organizations
• A central necessity for agility

Quality is everything – But what is the new everything?

„Made in Germany“ was no accident. But „quality“ is defined quite differently today. It is a challenge of the future to take into account the many facets of quality. Customer expectations continue to be the focus. But where is this focus and who else is there?

• The context, the future and the company in the middle of it all
• The philosophy, the goals and everyone is in on it
• The processes, the key figures and back to square one

True Innovation – Why and How We Need to Think Differently.

Innovations cannot be produced just like that. Even if this is promised again and again by tools and seminars. But the conditions can be created. This includes understanding why it is not as easy as it seems – and how innovation can still succeed.

• The six dramatic innovation killers
• The only true basis for innovation
• Ten practical innovation impulses

The digital challenge – What awaits us and why we can’t wait any longer.

Digitization and digital transformation have become empty buzzwords. But the challenge is greater than many think. Because networking stops at no one – and what that means must be understood – in order to be able to act.

• Eight core elements of digitization
• Five applications: From the present to the future
• Eight tips for digital transformation

Nice to know: Knowledge 4.0 – What we need to know about knowledge.

Knowledge is considered the resource of the present and even more so of the future. But knowledge management is much more than just databases. It is much more about a completely new understanding of collaboration in companies. And the more people involved, the better it will be.

• Four principles for a new understanding of knowledge
• Three essential tips for practical knowledge management
• Four essential soft skills for knowledge in the future

Markus Reimer presents his lectures at a superior level and yet in a very understandable language. In his presentations, which are also grounded in the fundamentals of philosophy, he uncovers the assumed boundaries of human thinking. He leads his astonished listeners through unimagined „thought-dimensions“, raises questions, sows doubt and in the final end reconciles his listeners with the fact that, when they leave the lecture, they know more, no – they actually understand more.

Markus Reimer convinces with brilliant rhetoric, spot-on data contents and an enormous dynamic. „An elemental power“ – as a listener described him. He does straight talking, he incites reflection and, guaranteed, he brings his listeners to marvel while he finds for his demanding thematic always the right channel to reach his target audience.
