16th Leadership MeetUp: Red and blue make purple

Focus: Contemporary leadership in an increasingly complex and dynamic environment

At the 16th Leadership MeetUp, discuss how contemporary leadership provides guidance under growing pressure, creates motivation from the "why" and "what for" and empowers people to actively shape change.

Our series of events for managers provides you with in-depth insights into key aspects of leadership and change in Germany's two largest banking groups - the savings banks and cooperative banks. Use this platform to share knowledge, learn from each other and take a valuable look at the bigger picture.

The 16th Leadership MeetUp will focus on the question of how contemporary leadership provides guidance in an increasingly complex and dynamic environment, motivates people and uses change as an opportunity for a successful future.

Join us for these two presentations:

Diamonds are formed under pressure – but so is apple puree!

Stephanie Volle | Head of Digital Ecosystems Division | Finanz Informatik GmbH & Co. KG

At a time when skills shortages, growing complexity and rapid market pace are pushing our leadership models to their limits, it is essential for managers to constantly adapt and develop. My career has had a significant influence on my current leadership motto: ‘The 3Bs – Be Inspiring, Be Empowering, Be Accompanying’. I would like to invite you to join me on my personal journey, where questions about ‘why’ and ‘what for’ are more motivating than traditional benefits. Using practical examples, I would like to show how leadership works for me in this highly complex environment and what successes and experiences we have already gained as a result.

Sparkasse – a hidden fintech? What we can learn from FAANG…

Uwe Burkert | Chairman of the Board | Kreissparkasse Waiblingen

What does the future hold? What do our customers really want? The truth is, the future is already here. And as regional banks, we are in a very good starting position. At the same time, it is clear that we must continue to evolve. We must actively shape change and consistently strengthen our strengths. Proximity, trust and regional roots are our foundation – that is what we build on. Let yourself be surprised by what is possible when we see change as an opportunity.

The Leadership MeetUps are aimed exclusively at managers of all hierarchies and from all specialist areas of savings banks and cooperative banks as well as data centres (Atruvia/FI), preferably “ambassadors” from both financial groups.
