Design Thinking is a framework for developing innovative products and solutions and is often mistakenly interpreted as a creativity technique. In this workshop we will clarify what Design Thinking actually is and how it differs from classical product development.

The online seminar is part of the series "Designing the Digital Change", which is offered in cooperation with BIBA and Mittelstand 4.0-Kompetenzzentrum Bremen.

Within the scope of the training "Technologies of Logistics" you will learn about the possibilities and potentials of self-control for your company in our practice-oriented learning factory. Here you will actively deal with mobile technologies and products as well as the efficient planning and control of logistics processes and technical systems. Last but not least, we will look at adaptive systems for a changing environment and together we will consider the possibilities that the technologies and solutions presented will also bring for your company.

By participating in the training

• you will be supported in determining the potential for CPS in your company

• get to know precise conditions of use as well as advantages and disadvantages of decentralized and centralized control systems for your logistics tasks

• you will learn basic characteristics of the technologies taught and possibilities for your application

Durch die Digitalisierung eröffnen sich für Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft große Chancen. Doch wo Chancen sind, bestehen bekanntlich auch immer Risiken. Folglich brauchen wir einen verantwortungsvollen Umgang mit dem technischen Fortschritt, um diese Risiken zu minimieren. Wir alle sehen uns zunehmend mit zwei großen Veränderungen konfrontiert: Zum einen wird die Welt immer digitaler. Ob auf wirtschaftlicher oder gesellschaftlicher Ebene – in nahezu allen Bereichen unseres Lebens spielt die Digitalisierung bereits eine große Rolle und verändert unsere Art zu leben und zu wirtschaften. Zum anderen hat unser Handeln mitunter negative Auswirkungen auf unseren Planeten. Eines ist sicher: Wir alle tragen Verantwortung für unsere Zukunft in einer digitalen Welt. Unser Leben muss sich nachhaltig verändern, um allen Menschen in sozialer, ökonomischer und ökologischer Hinsicht die Möglichkeit auf eine gute Zukunft zu bieten.

Doch was bedeutet das konkret für Unternehmen? Wie verändert sich die unternehmerische Verantwortung in einer zunehmend digitalen Welt und wie lassen sich die Chancen der Digitalisierung für ein nachhaltiges Handeln nutzen? Diesen Fragen widmet sich die Regionalkonferenz des Mittelstand 4.0-Kompetenzzentrums Bremen. Bei der Veranstaltung steht im Fokus, wie Digitalisierung kleinen und mittleren Unternehmen dabei hilft, sich erfolgreich für die Zukunft aufzustellen und dabei den wichtigen Aspekt der Nachhaltigkeit mitzudenken. Freuen Sie sich auf eine Mischung aus Impulsvortrag und Projektvorstellungen sowie Diskussionsrunden und Demonstrationen.

Are you looking for new approaches and solutions to the problems of your customers? Just turn your problems upside down! How to do that? In this workshop we will present different creativity techniques (e.g. headstand method, 6-3-5, Scamper, Disney) to face problems with new creativity techniques. Use the methods taught in the practice groups in your next meetings to give them more structure and performance.

The online seminar is part of the series "Shaping the Digital Change", which is offered in cooperation with BIBA and Mittelstand 4.0-Kompetenzzentrum Bremen.

How can I make my transport chain more environmentally friendly? Which unused synergies are slumbering in my internal process flows? Do I have to rely more on artificial intelligence in order not to lose the connection to the current state of the art? In the future, the logistics sector in Bremen will be supported by scientific innovation ambassadors to solve its challenges.

The logistics sector - one of the most important driving forces for the Bremen economy - is characterized by small and medium-sized players. Aligning their organization to innovation presents SMEs with challenges that they often cannot meet. Even if potentials are known, companies are not necessarily able to exploit them on their own. The project BreLogIK (Bremer Logistik Transfer- und Innovationskultur), in which BIBA is involved as a partner, starts here in order to exploit so far unused possibilities in close cooperation between Bremen's science and logistics industry.

In this context, the BreLogIK project partners offer scientists in the state of Bremen an upgrade training course series to become scientific innovation ambassadors for the Bremen logistics industry. Start of the training is January 2021 and it will presumably end in July 2021.
