• The Infinite Game with Simon Sinek
  Thursday, Sep 9, 15:00

Simon Sinek believes in a bright future and our ability to build it together. Described as “a visionary thinker with a rare intellect,” Simon teaches leaders and organizations how to inspire people. Part of that inspiration comes from big-picture thinking and viewing your role in business as ever-evolving, or as Simon calls it: The Infinite Game. How can we win a game that has no end? The simple answer is; we can’t. However, that’s exactly what so many companies are trying to do. The problem is, there is no such thing as “winning business.” In a game with no finish line and no agreed upon rules or metrics it is impossible to “be number one,” “be the best” or “beat our competition.” In this Infinite Game, there is only ahead and behind. In his moderated discussion with Mendix CTO, Johan den Haan, Simon explores how understanding the rules of the Infinite Game and changing your perspective is essential for anyone who wants to stay ahead and outlast any competitor, forever.

• Untangle the Excel jungle: Solving the process problem with Data Hub and Workflow
  Georg Maureder, Product Manager at Mendix and Abel Verweg, Product Marketing Manager at Mendix
  Tuesday, Sep 7 16:50 – 17:10

Too many business processes run in a sub-optimal way, often due to a mismatch between the actual process and how it is supported with IT solutions. IT is too busy trying to fix the never-ending list of solutions built in Excel or .net that are breaking, and without the time or right tools, they can’t get around to delivering what the business needs. This forces business users to manage processes over email, Excel, paper, legacy systems – thus starting the cycle all over again. Mendix can reduce the complexity in creating critical workflow solutions, making it easier and faster to get the right app in place – while still keeping IT in control. In this session, Mendix experts will show you how to create a workflow in Mendix, integrate data through Data Hub, and how – as a leader – you can retain oversight into the entire process.
