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”.

Forum Flash 2020
Organic Garden AG
“We all have something our neighbors could use – and we all need something our neighbors already have.” – That sounds very much like the guiding principle of Organic Garden AG from Ingolstadt. They combine their expertise and experience from energy production, IT, industry, finance and project management in a convincing, digitalised cycle concept that integrates both Smart Farming and Industry 4.0: entirely in the spirit of resource-saving food production, valuable soil improvement and renewable energy supply. Yesterday, on 16.07.2020, our CIO Christopher Patrick Peterka had the honour of asking Organic Garden AG about these future-relevant – to all of us a little bit (!) – topics for the Münchener Merkur in a video interview during the “Forum Flash” in the lounge of Holger Stromberg in Munich. An exciting interview, which was extraordinary even for our experienced CIO, was followed by a lively discussion and, of course, a tasting.
We would like to thank…

The Future of Service Design
Six impulses for an alternative future
Service Design choreographs processes, technologies and interactions in complex systems to co-create value for relevant actors. The Köln International School of Design was the first university worldwide to put service design on the agenda of design education. Today KISD is the centre of an international service design network. Our CIO Christopher Peterka was part of the “Future of Service Design” conference at KISD in March this year with his talk “Dumb fucks – six impulses for an alternative future”.

Future. School. Digital.
We were really looking forward to the final presentations of the high school students on the big stage at the headquarters of our partner, the Fischer Group in Tumlingen. All the better that the online version of the final of the first “Future School Digital Prize” was nevertheless a complete success. Despite contact restrictions, the virtually presented results of the four partner high schools exceeded our expectations by far. The gannaca team around Christopher Peterka and Carlotta Simonis already got a first impression in February at a joint workshop – in the assumption that they would meet again in May for the big final day and the award ceremony. It is all the more impressive that the online final day was a 100% success and that the students were motivated and enthusiastic about the topics “Digitality & Education” and “Algorithmic Public Spheres” despite the circumstances, says jury member Christopher Peterka, who is already looking forward to the catch-up event for the award ceremony next year, the annual Fischer Abiturientenforum. We can´t wait and are pleased to be able to share some of the “digital results” soon. Those who are already curious can find the report on the final day here.
