In order to find an optimal introduction to the topic of Industry 4.0, we should first clarify the terminology. After that, I will give you a brief outlook of the possibilities with short examples and their already existing applications. The goal should be to understand how far progress has already changed everyday life in many companies. Through this understanding, I want to take away your fear of these changes and encourage you to start with your own digital strategy for your company.
The digitization of business processes should lead to them offering a better experience and becoming more efficient. However, these benefits often also lead to stakeholders becoming more and more dependent on the IT systems used. In this article, I therefore highlight the increasingly important, but always often forgotten or only technically addressed topic of business continuity.
Companies need a vision, a mission and the corresponding strategy to make society and the environment better. This should always have been the case. But now it is assumed by customers.
That's why it makes sense in marketing to use the terms "vision", "mission", "strategy" or even ... "purpose" as a clear semantic convention.

With the digital transformation of procurement processes, entirely new workflows become possible that change the way ordered products are handled - and open up further savings potential, for example in merchandise management.
Indirect procurement is often given only low priority. But it is precisely the unfavorable relationship between price and process costs that actually forces us to exploit all available savings potential here. And there are several of these along the process chain.
In a world full of buzzwords, it's important to separate hype from reality with some structure and lay out a practical, usable path to purchasing modernization.
After leading virtual or decentralized teams comes the new challenge for post-pandemic leaders: hybrid leadership. The last two years have shown that home office is a construct that can work. And that more workplaces are suitable for it than thought. But how will this affect the world of work in 2022? Will everyone return? Hybrid we become the model of the future.
Will you still be needed as an employee, manager or even your company in five years? Because the following figures are currently being passed around: "60% of all jobs will disappear by 2025". Some even speak of 80%.
