Resilient Supply Chain and Resilient IT

CIOs must step out of the comfort zone and take a strategic lead. The world is changing fast. Paradigms which were true few years ago have shown to be most vulnerable and changing. Corona made us painfully aware of the dependency in international supply chains, and the war in Ukraine made clear that anything can change within a few months.

Our host in Porto will be CIO Martin Kolbe.

12:00 pm Deep Dive Discussions II at eDreams ODIGEO, R. dos Heróis e dos Mártires de Angola 49, 4000-285 Porto.

The Metaverse – or: Why the Future Needs Partnerships

The Metaverse is much talked about. In fact, it is already present in many areas – even if it is not a buzzword. Ultimately, the metaverse may be about much more than individual  technologies.

Our host in Porto will be the group CTO Carsten Bernhard.

eDreams ODIGEO is an online travel agency operating in 44 markets. Globally it is the 2nd largest flight retailer and the largest in Europe. eDreams runs offices on Mallorca, in Milano, in Madrid and in Porto. It is headquartered in Barcelona, where it hosted the CIOmove of 2016. Our host in Porto will be the group CTO Carsten Bernhard.

Towards an Automated – and Autonomous – Organisation

AI-generated picture by David Marx.

David Marx is one of the pioneers using AI for his work. In Portugal, we will have the opportunity to get a richly illustrated insight into David’s work, his tools and the philosophy behind his work.

Afterwards, things will get practical: Berlin-based artist Anushka Anushka lives in Lisbon and is very well known for her mattress art, which ties in with the tradition of disposing of one’s sleeping pads on the open street. Anushka decorates the mattresses with poetic sayings using her spray can and then photographs them. Anushka will create an interactive artwork live on site with the CIOmove participants.

An example of Anushka Anushka’s work.

Please choose between 4 different activities: 

The canyoning tour in the Chli Schliere near Alpbach is one of the most beautiful and interesting canyoning tours in German-speaking Switzerland.

The highest rappelling point is at 18 meters. The whole tour will take 2-3 hours.

Challenge your team spirit together with other participants. Here at the rafting tour through the Reuss river, the interaction of the group is required. After a short introduction by our guides, the 20 km tour leads us through beautiful scenery.

If you like to be out in nature, hiking is your activity. The hike leads us from Lucerne, along the Reuss river, to a viewpoint with a beautiful view over the city. In addition, experts will explain us the local flowers, herbs and their effects in medicine. We will gain insights into the fascinating world of plants and the treasures of nature will be revealed on this discovery tour.

If you are interested in culture and history, choose the Lucerne city tour and discover hidden alleys and treasures of Lucerne together with our guide.

AI is taking the world at a storm. We are all increasingly surrounded by these astonishing technologies that regularly outperform humans in many tasks. At the same time, some of these algorithms have been said to be the harbinger of disaster manipulating societies and discriminating its members. In this talk you will hear about groundbreaking research explaining on how we develop trust in AI and how AI can prove to be trustworthy to uphold our societal norms.

Please choose between 4 different activities: 

The canyoning tour in the Chli Schliere near Alpbach is one of the most beautiful and interesting canyoning tours in German-speaking Switzerland. We will try jumps of different heights and long slides, but there is always a way to  get around difficult spots by roping down, if one of the participants does not feel comfortable. The highest rappelling point is at 18 meters. The whole tour will take 2-3 hours.

Challenge your team spirit together with other participants. Here at the rafting tour through the Reuss river, the interaction of the group is required. After a short introduction by our guides, the 20 km tour leads us through beautiful scenery.

If you like to be out in nature, hiking is your activity. The hike leads us from Lucerne, along the Reuss river, to a viewpoint with a beautiful view over the city. In addition, experts will explain us the local flowers, herbs and their effects in medicine. We will gain insights into the fascinating world of plants and the treasures of nature will be revealed on this discovery tour.

10:00 a.m.: Mattias Ulbrich, CIO of Porsche
Change is the new normal: The Taycan is just the beginning!
Both in its product portfolio and in its digital strategy, Porsche is living the change: electrification, digital products and the redesign of internal processes with AI are becoming reality.
Mattias Ulbrich, CIO Porsche AG and CEO Porsche Digital GmbH provides insights into how the digital strategy is being implemented in practice and the role played by Porsche IT and the subsidiary Porsche Digital.

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.
