Dr. Harald Neidhardt, a scientist in geoecology at the University of Tübingen, gives an insight into the work of the Futur/io institute in his keynote speech. His mission is to help organizations and a network of chief sustainability officers to develop their sustainable roadmaps by 2030. Using vivid examples and ideas for a new era of regenerative shaping of the future, he inspires others to replace linear thinking with moonshot thinking. He also calls for a different kind of transformation to achieve decisive changes in organizational development before the end of 2030 – through inspiration, ideas, and innovation. One of Harald Neidhardt’s passions is expressing natural processes as metaphors and conveying a sense of time and the future. One approach is to see metamorphosis as a symbol of change – in contrast to the much too slow (digital) transformation that has been going on at Deutschland AG for more than 30 years.

The human brain is a remarkable product of evolution. Unfortunately, the brain activity that has kept our species alive for millions of years is preventing us from achieving full equality today. At this introductory presentation, you will learn how the human brain reacts instinctively when faced with the unexpected – such as saber-toothed tigers or female leaders in the technology industry. It shows the effects and consequences of stereotyping and prejudice, and what a bias-free world could look like, for example, by becoming allies of disadvantaged people and working together to create a world of opportunity and diversity. The world can only change if we check our own behavior as soon as we are confronted with the unknown. Are you on board? Personal Development Stage P | 04:45 - 05:05 pm | Personal Development

Today, companies communicate with their customers on many different channels – Salesforce’s customer data platform (CDP) enables valuable insights from all touchpoints to be linked, analyzed and used for personalized campaigns.

Want to know what polar bears, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and a couple of shot glasses have to do with personal development in a consulting company like MHP? Then this introductory presentation is right for you. It not only gives you an insight into topics such as subjective and situational perception, you will also get to grips with different interpretations of a work-life balance. Not to mention, we discuss polar bears and their differences. All this is in no way a scientific evaluation – rather it is a subjective consideration of a multitude of experiences gained from 7 years of MHP, 15 years of business and 35 years of being the child of a psychologist. All these impressions are mixed with a little north German humor and the result is a self-conceived model, illustrated with a number of examples. So, expect well-founded insights delivered with a wink. Personal Development Stage P | 05:15 - 05:35 pm | Personal Development
