Changing business strategies in the digital age will comprise part of his focus, along with the challenges presented by internet platforms and the impact of the internet on facility management service related processes, management issues and general working conditions.
Thomas Dietrich will challenge participants from Germany and abroad to work together at the congress toward finding answers to the questions their various enterprises pose concerning digitalisation. Among the topics addressed will be the question as to what consequences digitalisation will have upon service processes and performance, the extent to which the significance of knowledge acquisition and usage of stored data will continue to develop, but also the shape that working with clients might take in the future.
Two top-notch podium discussions led by esteemed practitioners from industrial, trade and service enterprises will address the implications of digitalisation for everyday business practices and the challenges the future presents.
The accompanying fringe events promise plenty of room for networking and lively exchange. Together with the Messe Berlin, the Federal Association of Guilds is inviting all participants to attend the opening ceremony at the Hotel InterContinental on September 17th, to take part in Premium Sponsors Night on September 18th following a boating excursion, to attend the Purus Innovation Awards ceremony at the CMS Evening on September 19th and to enjoy the crowning gala dinner at the Palais am Funkturm on September 20th.
