Key note: Imagine the unimaginable
The future is closer than you think
- What is happening now in the field of technology and business.
- What is likely to happen in the next few years. What we can expect. What to be afraid of. What to hope for.

IBCS template for controlling processes
Using boxplots in production controlling at Rosenberger

- We should strive for an IBCS template for controlling (production) processes
