KILL YOUR SILO
More us.More impact. How to master the future through collaboration
That’s what the lecture is about: More us.More impact.
Countless studies show that collaborative working leads to higher sales than traditional silo thinking: McKinsey & Company found in a study that effective team collaboration increases productivity by up to 25%. Which leads to better efficiency and higher sales.
The Harvard Business Review found that collaborative companies make 90% more successful decisions. The MIT Center for Digital Business made it clear in a study that collaboration in teams increases the speed of innovation by a factor of 2.5. And the Project Management Institute (PMI) showed that projects run by well-coordinated teams are 72% more likely to be completed successfully.
In his new presentation, Gerriet Danz explains how easy it is for you to implement this – and how you can benefit from it. With examples from international companies. Hands on. And easily adaptable for you.
EXPEDITION INNOVATION!
On the road in Silicon Valley – the success codes of the rule-breakers!
This is what the presentation is about: What can SMEs learn from Facebook, Google & Apple? How do corporations benefit from the strategies of fast-moving start-ups? Gerriet Danz took a look around Silicon Valley, spoke to renowned innovation experts and researched the success strategies of international innovation leaders. An inspiring innovation travelogue with many practical examples of what prevents and inspires the new – and how important the human factor is in all digitalization.

UTOPIA MAKES SALES!
Thinking the impossible to create the possible
This is what the lecture is about: The new and a former chancellor – does that go together? “If you have visions, you have to go to the doctor”, Helmut Schmidt is quoted as saying. But today, without a vision, you can go straight to the mortician. “Innovate or die” means that there is no alternative to constant reinvention. Find out why business models need to be regularly questioned, why market leaders in particular are in danger of missing the train of the future and why everyone should have a little bit of Starship Enterprise in their head.
INNOVATION
SILICON CHINA
How the Middle Kingdom is making us mediocre – and what we can do about it
This is what the lecture is about: For decades, the Chinese economy has mercilessly copied innovations. But now the Middle Kingdom is making us mediocre – with its flourishing innovative power in areas such as artificial intelligence, electromobility and mobile payment. An exciting journey through a country that has reinvented itself in just 50 years through speed and innovation.

Lunch & Learn: “Speak like a Speaker” – get fit for your own conference appearance! | Gerriet Danz
Well – as great as our speakers are, they are just as unpopular as pre-speakers. “This is going to be very difficult for me!” … is what many internal speakers from the host’s circle think. Managers, directors, board members – they often speak after our speakers and feel insecure in their role as speakers. They experience our professionals who captivate and inspire the audience. At the same time, you realize that your own presentation cannot do exactly that.

Thank you very much for your inspiring and motivating impulses at our entrepreneur evening at Linara in Kaufbeuren. Your presentation provided a lot of food for thought and created a refreshing atmosphere. It was a pleasure for us and for me to have you as a speaker. Many thanks again and best wishes from Kaufbeuren!
Curiosity led my husband and I to the entrepreneur evening in Kaufbeuren yesterday. We then took the liberty of going there. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed the evening yesterday, not least thanks to your captivating presentation.😊 We, Gerhard and Teresa Moser, have a small Allgäu family business that makes pasta from regional organic spelt and sells it throughout Germany (B2B and B2C).
Thank you very much for yesterday’s powerful presentation at Linara.
