Natural BI Summit 2019

The mathematician, long-standing IBM innovator and bestselling author (Swarm Stupid) has made a name for himself as the "Wild Duck" (lateral thinker). Professor Dueck concerns himself with such topics as the future of the workplace, management and digitisation. He interferes, challenges and urges people to rethink: there's no such thing as impossible. It is, after all, a question of making the world a little better, one step at a time. And what he calls "swarm stupidity" won't be of much use to us in doing that. Gunter Dueck will explain why we are only so stupid in a collective and how we can escape from this trap.

The experienced manager and BI expert is on a mission to enhance reports and dashboards by applying consistent design standards. Dr Faisst is Managing Partner at the Hichert+Faisst IBCS Institute, Managing Director of the IBCS Association and co-author of the 2019 bestseller Solid, outlined, hatched: how visual consistency helps better understand reports, presentations and dashboards. At #NBIS20 he will explain the relevance of consistent report design and show what financial controllers can learn from musicians.

The consultant, trainer and partner at CA controller akademie has been promoting the development of modern business management for many years with his training courses, talks and projects. Mr Ropers supports financial controllers, specialists and executive staff in change processes and advises businesses on developing qualification strategies as part of digital transformation. His motto is: "Those who wish to predict the future must shape it." And he will reveal how to do that at the Natural BI Summit in Cologne.
