10:45 a.m.: Martin Hofmann, Consultant for Strategic Customers, Salesforce
Transformation needs culture – and platforms
During his time as Group CIO at Volkswagen, Martin Hofmann established four platforms (SAP, Azure, AWS and Salesforce). His opinion: “Digital transformation doesn’t work at all without platforms.” Further theses:
- We will not get out of “small-small thinking” if we do not offer an IT architecture for permanent change – i.e., platforms.
- Anyone who has digital transformation as a goal will never get there. If you give your employees a goal as big as digitization, you force them to think in long-term cycles. This means they can no longer deliver in the short term. As a result, acceptance for IT falls away.
- Live a corporate culture where employees look at the next three years – not their remaining lifetime.
11:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.: Neckar bike tour
From the riding hall, we continue on bicycles. We cycle along the Neckar to Marbach (11 kilometers) or for the sporty ones: to Besigheim (+27 kilometers). If the fresh air on the way is too much for you, you can take a walk through Marbach before a shuttle takes you to Besigheim for lunch.
