Volksbank Mittweida

Cybersecurity Workshop

How to raise awareness for a B2B service?

Volksbank Mittweida resides in one of the most innovative regions in
Germany. Its partner, Mittweida University of Applied Sciences, runs a
Forensic Science Investigation Lab (FoSIL) dedicated to cybersecurity in
cooperation with the renowned Fraunhofer Society. German Federal Police
and the Ministry of the Interior are regular clients.

Yet despite its scientific excellence the lab would like to cater to more
high level industry clients. Therefore we designed a new communications
format for them going by the title of a “bank hold-up”. By demonstrating
hands-on to a selected group of industry leaders what social and technical
hacking actually mean, we created a lively discussion and long-lasting interest
into the lab´s service offerings with the industry contacts we largely provided
through personal recommendation.

applied methods:

  • Futures Thinking
    Futures Thinking offers ways of addressing, even helping to shape, the future; but it is not about gazing into a crystal ball. It illuminates how policy, strategy, and action can promote desirable futures and help prevent those we consider undesirable. It stimulates strategic dialogue, widens our understanding of the possible, strengthens leadership, and informs decision-making.

    Futures Thinking is a method for informed reflection on the major changes that will occur in the next 10, 20, or more years in all areas of social life, including education. Futures Thinking uses a multidisciplinary approach to pierce the veil of received opinion and identify the dynamics creating the future.

    While the future cannot be reliably predicted, we can foresee a range of possible futures and ask which are the most desirable for particular groups and societies. A variety of methods – qualitative, quantitative, normative, and exploratory – help to illuminate the possibilities, outline policy choices, and assess the alternatives.
  • Radical Openness
    How people connect and collaborate is transforming. By shunning old, secretive practices and embracing transparency, smart organisations share intellectual property within themselves and the community. Through this practice they gain speed and interaction productivity that reconnects them to the pace of change happening around them.

applied services:

  • Presentation
    Given that you and your organisation have a solid, desirable story to tell and require a presenter deeply rooted in the European business and cultural framework for your message, you can book our presentation services to support your roadshow, interest representation, or public appearance. Do you have a concrete occasion that you'd like to discuss with us?
  • Moderation
    You produce a conference, trade exhibition, panel, or show to foster your business and need a serious, well reputed moderator? We’re here to support you with our carefully selected team of moderators from subtle, elegant and smart journalists to straight-forward, canny business guys. Please drop us a line to express your interest here.    
  • Assessments
    You're comfortable with your core business. Now you're going for a new market or are simply interested in getting a professional, external opinion on your innovative idea? We assess it quickly, to the point, and based on cutting-edge expertise. As a result you get a personal presentation face to face and a brief evaluation in writing. Some exemplary causes for assessments usually are: - Market Opportunities - Digital Fitness - Organisational Innovation Culture - (Dark) Data Potential
  • Match Making
    We've been running our business for more than 15 years. Since the first day, we've placed special emphasis on our network of high potential thought leaders, change makers, and multiplicators. Once you've comprehensibly explained your specific interest to us, there's a high likelihood that we have some very capable human beings for you who you should get to know to foster your interest. We do this based on trust and high moral standards, so you might hear us answer “no” as well if we feel we shouldn't act. But please: try us. The people we like to match with you typically are of the following kind (globally): - Innovation Thought Leaders - Change Makers - Strategic Investors - Substantial Entrepreneurs
  • Advisory
    For a decent amount of time and – much more importantly – with intense practical experience we have specialised in change and innovation culture across industries, cultures, and generations. So, once you think you should get some seriously senior expertise aboard for your project, we're happy to look into your request.   Typically, moments that involve the following topics suggest the need to talk to us. Yet, this list is not exclusive. Basically, if you've read through this and made it to this point: we're happy to hear from you - even if it's about your wedding. - Innovation Formats - Intercultural Diplomacy - Creative Direction
  • Design
    Innovation and change needs the participation of the people on whom you rely to make things happen. This is where the art of design comes into play. Because without a professional, desirable design, all communication is wasted (aka nothing). If your change or innovation project is no fun - it's basically dead before you have even begun to activate it. So, may we encourage you to make things attractive, even “sexy”? Please. We support you with: - Ideation - Art Direction - Creative Direction
