Inspiring keynote speeches

Lively keynote speeches for internal events & functions

Keynote speech: “Those up there and those down there“

Some companies are divided within themselves: the old and the young, the good and the bad, the new and the placeholders, the tie wearers and the blue men, the silos that can’t get along…here the WE and the team spirit are missing, a fruitful cooperation and appreciation, the prerequisite for collective corporate development. The merging of supposedly different camps through common goals, attitudes and benefits is an enormous lever for productivity, effectiveness and efficiency in such companies. The presentation highlights challenges, examples and development perspectives that can serve as guidelines,
to optimize cooperation.

Duration: approx. 45 min.
Objectives: Inspiration, thought-provoking and awareness-raising
Option: followed by a moderated discussion with the participants

Keynote speech: “Corporate resilience – a new quality”

Unternehmen müssen heute anpassungsfähiger sein, als je zuvor. Doch sind sie das wirklich? Woran erkennt man ein anpassungsfähiges- und veränderungsfähiges Unternehmen? Was sind Voraussetzungen und Merkmale für eine widerstandsfähige Organisation? The lecture explores these questions and highlights new challenges and alternative courses of action on the basis of positive and negative examples. Die Teilnehmer können sich auf dieser Basis ein eigenes Bild machen und reflektieren, wo sie als Führungskräfte stehen, bzw. wo die Organisation steht und wo gezielte Maßnahmen erforderlich und zielführend wären.

Duration: approx. 60 min.
Objectives: Need for increased adaptability
Option: Follow-up workshop to jointly develop suitable measures for greater resilience

Impulse lecture: “Making is more blatant”

The change from “working according to instructions” to self-responsibility and self-organization or proactive action associated with agile working methods is a 180-degree turnaround for many employees. Was kulturell über Jahrzehnte gewachsen ist, soll jetzt im Handumdrehen anders sein – für viele ein Kraftakt mit unbekanntem Ausgang. The lecture creates the breeding ground for a new attitude and active behavior in the sense of open participation. Er zeigt zudem die Vorteile für das Unternehmen aber vor allem für die Mitarbeitenden auf und schafft Akzeptanz für Veränderung und eine gemeinsam gewollte Aufbruchstimmung.

Duration: 45 min.
Objectives: Activating the workforce for more openness, freedom and self-responsibility
Options: Presentation of case studies, moderated discussion with participants

Keynote speech: “The transformers”

In order to master the challenges of transformation (digitalization, shortage of skilled workers, supply bottlenecks, agile working, etc.), a number of prerequisites are required. These include a clear target system and level of ambition, defined change requirements, change capabilities, clear roles and responsibilities, etc. Transformations can only succeed once the breeding ground for change and improvement has been created. The presentation takes up current challenges from many companies and shows on the one hand the importance of attitude and prerequisites, but also the cultural development and scaling of changes on the basis of examples.

Duration: 45 min.
Objectives: Creating the conditions for successful transformation, how are changes successfully scaled?
Option: Followed by a moderated discussion with the participants
