How do you design for the end of the world? What does the future hold for the automotive industry and which innovation markets will we open up in the coming years?
In addition to lectures and insights from speakers from Porsche Digital, Rasa, BCG Digital Ventures and Futures Space, hands-on workshops will be offered on the topics of growth management, business model innovation and innovation profiling. The Startup network SUN in cooperation with BCG Digital Ventures is organizing a future conference in Berlin on October 19, 2019.
As a board member of the Startup-Network I will moderate the day and also present two workshops together with Geoffrey Hildbrand on the potentials of technologies and disruptive thinking. Here is an insight into the program:

1. “Startup Scaling Strategies with Simple Rules”
Philipp Engelhardt (Groupon’s former CFO for Central Europe, Researcher @University St. Gallen)
How to move from start-up to scale-up? A central challenge is to bridge your strategy and your team’s daily actions. Scaling strategies must be clear to provide focus, but flexible enough to reflect operational learnings. See how Airbnb, Cisco, Google or Netflix overcame this challenge. Learn how to craft your scaling strategy with simple rules.
2. “Business Model Attack”
Jonas Nietschke (Founder Business Attack)
Why are pop songs getting shorter and shorter? Why is it a hole in the wall and not a drill? And why does a turbine manufacturer only calculate in hours? And what does the whole thing have to do with the DNA of your start-up?
The analysis of business models offers a structured and methodical approach to identify opportunities in one’s own business at an early stage, use them systematically and reduce the associated risks at an early stage.
The aim of the workshop is to provide an introduction into business models and to use concrete examples to make a simple application to your own business possible.

Alexander Pinker (Innovation Profiler and Future Strategist) & Geoffrey Hildbrand (Brand and Innovation Strategist)
