The welfare system in Germany is based on solidarity and self-responsibility. It originated in the 1800s with early health funds and general health insurance. The system expanded after World War I and was codified in German law after World War II. Today, the social system provides various benefits like unemployment pay, welfare aids, pensions, health insurance, and parental money through taxes and insurance contributions from citizens. Benefits vary but include on average 400 euros per month for unemployment pay II and 1176 euros per month for pensions.
The German tax system consists of two main taxes: the personal income tax and value-added tax (VAT). The personal income tax applies different tax rates depending on an individual's taxable income and tax class. Income up to 8,652 euros is tax exempt. VAT is charged on all goods and services at a standard 19% rate, with some items taxed at a reduced 7% rate. For VAT, businesses can claim refunds on taxes paid for goods used in production, so the final burden is paid by the end consumer.

With thousands of vendors in the marketplace, organizations are overwhelmed with choices around building their marketing technology stack. By evaluating tool choices according to a customer experience maturity model and aligning the results of that evaluation with the customer journey, organizations can make more intelligent choices around process gaps and acquire appropriate technologies to fill those gaps by relying on thoughtful analysis and fitness to purpose rather than being hijacked by slick vendor demonstrations. Using hands-on exercises, Seth Earley and Steve Walker will guide participants through the steps to understanding customer lifecycles and aligning stages with classes of technology in order to improve engagement. Attendees will leave with an approach for developing their own marketing technology blueprint.

How can we leverage digital technologies to ensure business continuity now?
The success of implementing technology and dealing business changes across the enterprise has never been more critical to a company’s market relevance, financial growth and employee productivity. As companies grow in either size, service and product offerings or complexity, the increased demand to deliver consistent high quality support becomes more and more challenging.

Organizations continuing to struggle with measuring sustainable business benefits from implementing technology and business change will benefit greatly from the industry lessons learned from successful KM implementations. Peter McGarahan, a support industry analyst and expert, will share his experiences and thought leadership on successfully implementing KM to support and enable technology and business change across the enterprise. Peter will provide lessons learned and recommended practices from his Service Delivery and Knowledge Management (KM) consulting experience that will change your perspective on how to do Knowledge right! Attendees will gain valuable insights into the following aspects of the topic:
• How Service leaders can best position and leverage knowledge for any technology and business change

national scope
• As demand grows, must
manage user expectations
• Highly visible, full service
capability
• In and out of scope tasks
must be clearly defined
• Provides permanence,
stability and formality to
function with senior
management endorsement
• If staff / budget grow, may be
perceived as over-funded
• Creates central knowledge
base
• Questions of value add may
arise
• Creates several position
levels for staff development
and growth
• High visibility can cultivate
an arrogant attitude among
staff
• All elements of operation housed within single

defense
• Requires 3-5 people in
collection and analytic roles +
director
• Best model for early warning • Multiple simultaneous
projects makes director’s job
more complex
• More functional for larger,
more complex companies
• Juggling strategic / tactical
demands from different units
can decrease client
satisfaction
• Because CI professionals are

more effective and efficient
• Develops pool of candidates
