„The Future Model: The strategic business levers of the future“

In the midst of multiple crises and profound transformations, companies face a key challenge: How can the system of ‘the future’ be understood – and actively shaped? Prof. Dr. Stefan Tewes’ keynote speech introduces the Future Model – a structured approach that provides orientation in times of change. The focus is on the twelve most relevant central challenges for companies as a strategic early indicator of relevant dynamics and new business opportunities. On this basis, the model shows how companies can develop forward-looking business models. Because the future cannot be predicted, but it can be tapped into – if you understand the logic of change.

Keynote: Prof. Dr. Stefan Tewes

Prof. Dr. Stefan Tewes is one of the leading minds in the field of future business and strategic foresight in the German-speaking world. As Professor of Digital Transformation & Innovation at FOM University of Applied Sciences for Economics & Management and CEO of the Future Business Group and Future Listening Group, he combines scientific excellence with entrepreneurial impact. With over 150 publications and articles in media outlets such as WirtschaftsWoche, Süddeutsche Zeitung, BILD and BILD am Sonntag, he is a sought-after expert on strategic future competence, digital business models and transformative innovation processes.

Sneak peek at the rooms

Following extensive modernisation, the second floor now features three high-quality, flexibly combinable rooms. Ideal for plenary sessions with up to 580 people, exhibitions, workshops or networking events – and embedded in the CCD’s powerful infrastructure and service network with a total of 42 rooms covering 45,500 m².
