The Self-Driving Company

Florian Schnitzhofer - ReqPool

In this lecture, Mr. Florian Schnitzhofer presents his economic thought model and a realistic vision of the future of self-driving companies. The time of human-controlled, linear processes is over: The self-driving company adapts to new requirements in a holistic, automated manner, keeps learning, never loses focus, does not get tired and knows the state of all organs in its agile organism at all times. It takes over routine processes, while people primarily carry out creative and interpersonal, empathetic activities. The technology for this already exists today.

This lecture presents the vision of the self-driving company in 2035, shows the way there and illustrates it with numerous practical examples.

Why a perfect product owner needs to be a mix of requirements engineer & digital designer

Mladen Stefanovic, Clemens Cornelius - BearingPoint

It has long been debated whether a PO needs support from a RE & a digital designer. Isn’t it much more the case that the PO needs to be the perfect blend of both? Or is it even impossible to combine all these skills in one person? We will present that it is necessary for the employee to evolve from an I-shaped person to an E-shaped person. This will show why the RE needs to develop further and, above all, why he needs to be involved in the blue print phase of the project in the future.

In this phase of the project, it will become necessary to develop a functional design tailored to the business of the future. To do this, the RE must acquire skills that he did not need before in this way. The role of the RE changes into a designer role, but must not lose the specialisation in requirements engineering. Thus, we will show that in the future the PO has to be the perfect mix of an RE and a digital designer and has to be involved much earlier in the projects.

Panel Discussion - in cooperation with TraineeNet

Data Science in Practice

Johannes Husinsky - Bank Austria    |    Thomas Laber - Rewe Group    |    Donal O'Farrell - Siemens

Hosted by Georg Höller - TraineeNet

The panel discussion, in which three sponsors of TraineeNet take part explores practical, strategic and managerial aspects of data science when applied in practice. The panel discutants from REWE, Bank Austria and Siemens discuss first the context in which they operate, i.e. the specificities of their respective industries, especially since banking, manufacturing and REWE as retailer face different regulatory demands. The complex interplay of competition, capabilities and priority setting will be discussed, while trying to embed this interplay into the different contexts the discutants are in. Data science in practice faces several bottlenecks, especially in which way people see data. Sometimes the transformational potential of data is not envisioned and therefore too few resources are allocated to making data science feasible.

A different aspect is the strategic one. How should data science be conducted to best support the strategic goals of the company? From a managerial perspective what kind of strategy does it need to best employ data science and especially what problems ought to be solved? Before methods from the realm of data science can be used, proper data is needed. A key question which is discussed, is if there is a concise data strategy which gives answers as to how to change the structure of data to best serve the needs of data science in the dimensions of organizational capabilities and culture

ABOUT

IT.talk connects like-minded students interested in IT with speakers from the industry and science. You get the chance to listen to exciting talks and learn how certain technologies are being applied in practice. After the talks you can get in touch with the speakers and other students while enjoying free food and drinks at our buffet.
We, Fachschaft Wirtschaftsinformatik und Data Science, founded IT.talk in 2018 and held the first event in March with great speakers from Google, Elastic and Allianz. In 2019, we could carry on with talks from Accenture, Zühlke, Frauscher and Eric Steinberger. In 2020, due to the Coronavirus pandemic, we had to postpone the event until autumn and also then could not do it in person but had to carry out the event via online-only live stream. We had great speakers from SAP, Grassfish, AIT and Prodyna. In 2021, also due to the pandemic, we could not go through with our IT.talk at all. That’s why we are glad to have you back in 2022!

See you at IT.talk 2022!

When? 20 October 2022 at 18:30
