When it comes to designing a Better Tomorrow, there are few proponents and visionaries more inspiring than Marc Buckley. For years now, this advocate of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, regenerative futurist and expert advisor to the World Economic Forum has pursued one goal and European Union: motivating and empowering billions of people to Live an Adaptive Lifestyle of Health and Sustainability within the safe operating spaces of our planetary boundaries. For Marc Buckley, this can only be achieved via a holistic, systematic approach. Ecological Economics, Sustainable Development, Systems Thinking, Innovation, digitalization, climate change, agriculture, nutrition, waste – effective future fit models need to take all of these into equal consideration. In his keynote Marc Buckley spans a wide arc between the impact of international institutions and initiatives such as the EU, UN, WEF, and WGS to move towards SEVA as well as visionary concepts such as Leading by Nature and the ecological economy and on to the transformation to the Symbiocene. In other words: Marc Buckley presents paths to a Better Tomorrow that works for everyone. Definitely a highlight!

It is not often the case that simple pie charts succeed in provoking both laughter and contemplation. However, this is precisely what Katja Berlin achieves in her weekly “Pies of Truth” column (in German: “Torten der Wahrheit”) in acclaimed weekly DIE ZEIT. Since 2015 the best-selling author, podcaster and columnist has been using pointed yet entertaining pie charts to cast a spotlight on the contradictions and realities of our social, economic, and political life. Sure, the “Pies of Truth” are not to everyone’s taste – but they certainly serve to rouse people and stimulate discussion. We are delighted to have Katja Berlin deliver an exclusive keynote at the MHP FESTIVAL casting an eye over developments in Germany in recent years – particularly with regard to aspects such as digitalization, equality and climate protection. Illustrated with the aid of numerous “Pies of Truth,” naturally.

Data driven technologies determine our daily activities – whether these are social or in the world of business. Big data analytics and artificial intelligence play a key role in this. However, it is important to broaden the approach here and avoid focusing solely on purely technical aspects. Because in addition to debating the impact of AI on jobs, it is also necessary to discuss whether algorithms can contribute to increased fairness or discrimination. And the extent to which diversity is pursued in the tech sector for the development of inclusive technologies. These and other aspects will be addressed by Mina Saidze. The author of the book “FairTech” and founder of the acclaimed “Forbes 30 under 30” lists also utilizes examples from practice to illustrate her points.

Our towns and cities are undergoing a transition – the most far-reaching of the last fifty years or more. More than ever, urban centres are melting pots and catalysts for megatrends. This is where all of the transformations we are currently experiencing receive most of their impetus. Mobility is changing, the requirements of citizens are shifting, decision making is being reorganised, new players are arriving, competition is increasing. So how will this transition mould the future of our towns and cities? And what effect will it have on the economy? Let’s have a look. In this keynote Gerald Babel-Sutter – founder of the Urban Future conference and one of the most exciting experts on sustainable urban development – delivers a reality check for us!

Software-defined vehicles: China as technology leader for user-centric mobility

China is the world’s largest mobility market – and one of the most important regions for international car manufacturers. However, shifts are becoming apparent: foreign companies that have previously enjoyed success are recording clear falls in market share. Their current products no longer meet the requirements of Chinese customers, who want to see electric vehicles with comprehensive in-car infotainment – embedded into a digital ecosystem. Conversely, Chinese OEMs are expanding strongly into other traditional car markets and are leaders in areas such as artificial intelligence and connectivity. This lecture examines the current challenges facing automotive OEMs and presents possible solutions for companies that are active in China, Europe and the US

Automotive manufacturers are facing a tight transformation schedule in the coming years: nearly all OEMs are in the process of shifting from being purely a producer of cars to becoming a system provider for mobility. However, the risk of failing in this task is enormous and the level of ecosystem mobility achieved is soon overtaken by competitors. Today, the new ultimate benchmark is positioning as mobility services provider. This calls for the rethinking of strategies and working methods, deep into the life cycle. Systems engineering is the enabler for this. In this session we illustrate the challenges, solution modules and success factors for accelerating this transformation.

Immersive digital representations of manufacturing plants have long since left the realm of science fiction. Based on the NVIDIA Omniverse, the BMW iFactory provides an insight into what the so-called Industrial Metaverse already offers - and where the journey leads to from here. In this lecture you will learn more about what is currently the most advanced and comprehensive digital twin factory. In interaction with the SORDI.ai AI image dataset that builds upon it, this not only makes a key contribution to closing the reality gap, but also enables a groundbreaking degree of automation in the creation of AI-based industrial applications on a scale previously unseen. The Industrial Metaverse is consequently making a decisive contribution to shortening planning processes, saving resources, and improving the quality of results. Look forward to exciting insights into the digital factory.

Between megatrends and efficiency – why some yawn while others invest

The digital transformation is the driving force of our time – but what does it mean exactly? And what is its impact on business, society, and us at MHP? Whilst companies, and CIOs in particular, navigate their way through a thicket of technological solutions, expenditure management and the shortage of skilled personnel, things are already dialing up another notch. This will see innovation cycles shortened and barriers to market entry torn down. The continuous balancing act between megatrends and new realities, between the pressures of performance and efficiency calls for intelligent commercial and technological decisions. This is where MHP comes in. The session illustrates the challenges and potentials for our MHP service offering and reveals the influence of VUCA and BANI.

At a time in which once secure business models and revenues are dwindling and firms are being forced to cut costs, new opportunities and challenges are arising. Market dynamics have experienced a significant increase in speed. As part of their realignment, we are increasingly seeing companies divesting individual divisions and stakes while simultaneously acquiring new companies and expanding their portfolios. In our presentation, we provide exciting insights into the MHP success stories in which we have accompanied mergers & acquisitions. Together we take a look behind the scenes of the deal business and strive to find out why MHP, as a new player and current hidden champion in the M&A market, offers outstanding impulses and interdisciplinary perspectives for this emerging field.

Individually adapted shared services and BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) not only facilitate IT organizations with the rapid scaling of their project delivery and operations processes, they also help them achieve an enduring impact. Because close collaboration with a professional outsourcing partner means that companies are able to concentrate their full attention on their core activities. In this lecture we communicate further details on this subject, in cooperation with Thomas Wölker. Having played a key role in establishing one of our MHP shared services, today he works as CIO of DAW. In the process we also deliver input on how to seamlessly embed corporate culture into shared services and BPO, with mutual growth leading to success. In addition, you will be given an insight into how we at MHP are using suitable services to tackle current challenges such as the shortage of skilled personnel, increasing dynamics and the ever more complex requirements of customers, governance, and compliance. A top issue across all sectors.

The majority of things and innovations that we use and interact with on a daily basis have undergone a similar path of development – from the smartphone to the house in which we live. Everything begins with an idea and a concept, which is subsequently brought to life via diverse experiments and design processes. So far so good. However, what if we were able to access the same methods and tools to design our own lives, careers and social influences that are also used in the development of top products, services, and technologies? We would hold the key to a better tomorrow in our hands. This lecture illustrates why it is so important for us as individuals to be innovative, especially in the fast-changing world of today.

Metaphors and analogies possess a power that we use all too seldom in our daily activities. Because, much like pictures, these two rhetorical instruments often say more than a thousand words. As a result, in times of ever-increasing flows of information and shortening attention spans they are “worth their weight in gold.” But how can these linguistic images and comparisons help us gain a better understanding of the world? And which metaphors are especially well suited for this, and which analogies should you bite your tongue before using? This is what we will be examining in this lecture. This will the opening up of a new linguistic and visual diversity for both communication and the mindset.
