Christian’s main focus now is on the measurable added value and competitive advantage that CREM brings as a USP. – This is a topic close to his heart, to which he has already dedicated his dissertation. Now he is looking forward to successfully linking these insights with the practical know-how of the CoreNet community. We wish Christian a good start and above all: lots of fun and success.

Working in times of Covid19

The coronavirus pandemic changed how we live and work. More time at home prompted people to set up home offices, school desks and outdoor gathering spaces. Average monthly spending per person on home office furnishings rose 43% in May 2020. Many are hoping that the massive Covid-19 vaccination campaign will lead to millions of people returning to workplaces in 2021 after spending most of the pandemic working from home. But let us tell you: it isn’t going to be soon. The office world that will be reinhabited this year will look a lot different from the one that we knew before the first lockdown in March 2020. During an initial transition period, office density likely will be low, workers will wear masks and a range of other safety precautions will be followed. Long-term changes in the workplace will continue for years. Working from home and other remote locations, which became a necessity during the pandemic, will likely remain a major part of the workplace. And you know what? We love that. At gannaca, we were almost waiting for that „New Work“ wave. Because there is so much potential in working from home. And simplicity. And style.

Forum Zukunftsmedizin

Rheinische Post Forum

Im Forum Zukunftsmedizin der Rheinischen Post trafen sich am 27. November Experten aus den Bereichen Medizin, Pharmakologie, Theologie, Versicherung und Wirtschaft, um begleitet durch unseren CIO Christopher Peterka über KI in unserem Alltag und speziell in der Medizin zu diskutieren. Zentraler Schlüssel für KI-basierte Fortschritte in allen Bereichen des Lebens sind valide, strukturierte Daten. Gerade in der Medizin sind enorme Fortschritte vorstellbar – doch fehlt es oft an Datenmaterial für die Entwicklungsprozesse. Gerade die pharmazeutische Forschung erhält zurzeit keinen Zugriff auf Daten der „forschenden Versorgung“. Die Experten waren sich einig, dass eine intensivere Aufklärung der Bevölkerung notwendig sei, damit vermehrt Daten, auch anonymisiert, zugunsten einer besseren medizinischen Versorgung bereitgestellt würden. Das Video zur Veranstaltung finden Sie hier.

XING X-Mas Special

Impulsvortrag “IoT” – Christopher Peterka

Im Dezember war unser CIO Christopher Patrick Peterka Teil des XING Puls X-Mas Specials, nachdem er von der Digitalisierungs- und Tech Community in Köln und Düsseldorf unter die Top 3 Speaker des Jahres gewählt wurde und mithin am Best Of zum Jahresabschluss teilnehmen durfte. Die Themen für die Impulsvorträge wurden im Vorfeld als Wichtelgeschenk überreicht. Christopher durfte sich dem Thema #IoT (Internet of Things) annehmen. Eine besondere Qual für einen Futuristen, der den meisten Menschen ein bis zwei Jahrzehnte voraus ist und für den das Internet der Dinge schon vor 20 Jahren begreifbar gewesen ist. Was dabei herauskam, ist umso spannender und jetzt als Video zum flexiblen Nachschauen verfügbar.

Zum IoT Impulsvortrag.

Wohnraum Workshop

Transformation workshop – Kempten

Building bigger thinking – in practice. At the beginning of September, our team around Christopher Peterka, Pia Kemper, Daniel Knapp and Carlotta Simonis set off for Kempten to hold the first joint transformation workshop in the (impressive) own walls of WR Wohnraum AG. Two days of highly productive work helped to raise awareness of the importance of digital strategies and to jointly develop future-oriented solutions in order to lay the foundation for progress in the comparatively rather slow developing housing industry. We were particularly impressed by the motivation of the participants, which was palpable throughout: “Day in, day out, we are working on an indispensable commodity – LIVING. Here lies our motivation for innovation”.
