Tom Lüthi will set the pace at the KMU SWISS Forum
At the business event on March 22, 2018, the "KMU SWISS Forum" presents an exciting selection of top-class speakers. Under the title "Dynamics - Flexibility of Action", motorcycle racer Tom Lüthi will be among those setting the pace.
The 16th KMU SWISS Forum will take place on Thursday, March 22, 2018 at the Trafo Baden Congress Center. Once again, well-known personalities, including Tom Lüthi, will discuss as speakers and interview partners, this year on the topic of "Dynamics - Flexibility of Action". Around 450 guests are expected to attend. "We live in a time of change. It takes rapid and flexible action to keep up with change," says Armin Baumann, CEO KMU SWISS AG, explaining the choice of topic.
Changing the tried and true takes courage
Companies are challenged to adapt to the rapidly changing market. Managers must make decisions quickly and react flexibly to new market conditions. Only those who tackle challenges, try out new ideas and are innovative are competitive. It takes courage and a certain amount of dynamism to abandon the tried and true and strike out on new paths. Legal frameworks and regulatory requirements, the lack of skilled workers, economic setbacks and the fear of digitization are slowing down the innovative power of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
Change is not just a matter for the boss
What strategies for success should an SME adopt in order to hold its own in today's changing business environment? What challenges are posed to management so that employees embrace new things and a culture of flexibility grows up? What are the prerequisites for the new corporate and working world? Personalities from different areas and industries present their strategies for success. They talk about their everyday lives and how they deal with the new challenges. This year's speakers are:
- Suzanne Grieger-Langer, Profiler
- Jürg Brand, President of Roll infratec (holding) ag
- Madeleine Stöckli, CEO B. Braun Medical AG
- Nils Planzer, CEO Planzer Transport AG
- Ruedi Matter, Director SRF
- Derek Brandt, CEO Sensile Medical AG
- Urs Kessler, CEO Jungfrau Railways
