Objective

Given a highly dynamic, complex environment, established practices and ways of doing are often no longer appropriate for tackling arising challenges. In this vein, Deutsche Bundesbank’s large-scale transformation programme aims at adapting day-to-day business conduct and implementing new approaches to strategy, agility and innovation. This expert panel will provide insights on transformation and touch upon the most important aspects of strategy, agility and innovation, giving participants the opportunity to discuss their own experiences.
