Luigi Pedrocchi
ex-CEO, Mibelle Group
«I had the opportunity to be member of the BMI Think Tank right from the beginning, many years ago. After all the many events that I participated in I always got home very inspired by the people I met and talked to and by the topics presented. In some instances I even found direct solutions to problems I dragged along in my daily work as CEO of a highly innovative company for a long time without really finding a way out.
One of the useful tools I learned of during our membership is the business model navigator which has become a standard tool in our company life. We like it because it forces us to think radically in the consumer perspective.»
Hans Kespohl
VP, IT & Digitalization - Governance & Strategy, Covestro
«The BMI Think Tank is the go-to-place to receive latest information on business model innovation from theory and applied research and to meet real practitioners in a professional and trusted environment.
The Focus Group Seminars are a good mix of getting actual and relevant inputs from leading businesses research, combined with action-based learning, where we apply and discuss the newly developed frameworks. I personally use some of the evidence-based and profound methods in my daily work, which enables me to systematically steer my work and make current projects more effective by helping teams to professionalize their approach.
The highlights of the Think Tank membership are the Study Trips. We always gained new impulses and contacts from the US, Israel, China or Estonia. The immersion into new ecosystems and cultures is always enriching. From each study trip, we had concrete follow-ups and action plans. Topics reach from new digital solutions to new technologies and many more.
I definitely recommend the BMI Think Tank participation to executives.»
