How to Find Innovate Solutions for Wicked Problems - Entwicklertag 2013Tobias Schimmer
Wo kommen eigentlich die wirklich guten Ideen her? Die, die das Leben von Menschen bereichern und erleichtern? Ideen, die die Welt auf den Kopf stellen? Ideen, die Menschen zu Millionären gemacht haben?
Viele dieser Ideen umgeben uns tagtäglich und gehören für uns wie selbstverständlich zum Alltag. Und doch sind sie von Menschen gemacht – das heißt, jemand hat entschieden, dass die aus ihnen entstandenen Produkte, Services oder Erlebnisse genau so funktionieren und sich so anfühlen wie sie es tun. Sie sind das Ergebnis von Designprozessen.
Design wird oft als „Dinge schön(er) machen“ missverstanden, dabei geht es um weit mehr als das. Denn Design bedeutet kreative Lösungen für komplexe Probleme zu finden.
Kreative Problemlösungen sind dabei meist kein Zufallsprodukt und nur selten das Ergebnis von „Heureka“-Momenten einzelner Genies. Der klassische Erfinder, den man sich als einsamen Kauz in seinem Labor vorstellt, ist bei näherer Betrachtung doch meist Mitglied einer ganzen Gruppe, deren Mitglieder sich gegenseitig inspirieren. Denken wir an Thomas A. Edison, der mit über 1000 Patenten als verdienter Erfinder in die Geschichte eingegangen ist. Edisons Produktivität war aber kein Zufall, sondern das Ergebnis einer strukturierten Herangehensweise, Probleme gemeinsam mit einer bunten Truppe aus Ingenieuren, Handwerkern und Wissenschaftlern zu lösen.
Innovation ist also sehr wohl planbar und kann bewusst gefördert werden.
Design Thinking ist eine Arbeitsmethode, die verschiedene Werkzeuge verbindet, um Innovation und Ideenfindung zu unterstützen. Egal ob Sie in einem Unternehmen arbeiten, selbstständig sind oder einfach im Privaten Dinge „neu erfinden“ möchten: Design Thinking kann helfen, Problemstellungen strukturiert und mit Spaß zu bearbeiten und zu Lösungsideen zu gelangen, die wir heute noch gar nicht kennen. Echte Innovationen eben.
Ziel dieses Vortrages ist eine Einführung in Design Thinking. Woher kommt die Methode, was sind die Kernelemente, wie kan sie im Unternehmensalltag angewand werden?

After going through several rounds of transition, e.g. lean management and agile engineering, design thinking and business model innovation, customer-centered innovation is the gist of it: be it feasibility and efficiency, desirability on the end user side or economic viability, SAP's development cycles revolves around our customers. The talk also outlines different innovation strategies and examples.
Supplier management is in many ways like the art of motorcycle maintenance – hands on, requiring discipline, and you can't leave anything to chance. Your suppliers have a deep impact on your sourcing and procurement process, and managing them effectively is the missing link between finalizing a strategic sourcing deal and realizing those benefits on the ground. This session will explore how the coming together of scalable supplier onboarding, effective supplier performance, and a host of best practices can help you manage your suppliers strategically.

Artificial intelligence (AI) offers new opportunities to radically reinvent the way we do business. This study explores how CEOs and top decision makers around the world are responding to the transformative potential of AI.
The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
