MAXIMILIAN BÖGER

In this keynote, business model expert and founder of the world's largest platform for business model analysis Business Model Ideas, Dr. Maximilian Böger tells a story about why it is better to break the rules and cannibalize your own business model instead of being cannibalized yourself. In an entertaining way, he picks up various fun facts, historical incidents and clarifies, with the help of practical examples, about the biggest problems and mistakes in the development as well as implementation of past and current business models. As an advocate of market research and as PhD academic, he self-critically puts forward one or the other argument why "just do it" is better than "research for a long time". You're guaranteed that one thing will be clear to their audience at the end: "Netflix yourself before you get kodaked!"

This keynote provides information about tomorrow's hottest buzzwords and technological trends in an entertaining way. Have you often asked yourself the following questions: What is the Metaverse? What is actually the difference between the Metaverse and Virtual or Augmented Reality? What are NFT (Non-Fungible Token), Circularity and what is the exciting intersection between all these buzzwords? Dr. Maximilian Böger will answer these questions, sum up reality or hype and take your audience on an innovative trend journey into the year 202X.

Everyone is talking about sustainability and the so-called circular economy. In times of disrupted supply chains due to COVID-19 and shortage of raw materials due to the Ukraine conflict more than ever! But in most cases the mindset of most companies and operating individuals is short sighted. In his keynote on circular economy, Dr. Maximilian Böger's illuminates his opinion with practical examples why it will not be enough in the future to produce green products or to adorn oneself with "greenwashing". He provides a clear answer to why it can only be the own value creation that will give a company the legitimacy to exist in the future, inspire employees, win customers and earn money.

HELLO BOOMER & MANAGER! Do you find it challenging to find good employees or keep your best horses in the stable? Tired of constantly talking about "work-life balance" and "workation"? Dr. Maximilian Böger, with himself being a so-called millennial, talks about how to lead generations "WHY" & Z and sarcastically points out how they are different from previous generations. He shows the differences between both generations and explains why they want to know "why". Ultimately, he provides insights from his many years of experience as a leader of diverse groups of young digital junkies.

"No!""Don't make mistakes!" "Wrong!" "We must not tell anyone!" Almost all of us were raised with perfectionism and zero tolerance for mistakes. We prefer to keep quiet about mistakes and problems.

From being dyslexic and achieving poor grades at school to being a serial  founder (failed as well as successful), doctor at the University of St. Gallen, lecturer at several universities and globally booked expert for business models, platform and ecosystem strategies. Sounds like a fairy tale? It is not! In his emotional and highly personal keynote, Dr. Maximilian Böger speaks genuinely, with a pinch of self-irony about his difficult path to admitting to himself that mistakes, transparency and merciless honesty are positive. He also explains why a practiced culture of mistakes is essential for every organization, regardless of whether it is a kindergarten, a startup or a corporate group in the year 202X.
