While the global Covid-19 pandemic is currently leaving its trace around the world, the challenge of climate change has by no means disappeared. The Covid-19 crisis has accelerated trends that require fast actions to reduce carbon emissions. Shifting consumer demand, changing regulations and the rise of ESG investing make CO2 an imperative for corporations. The green economic recovery programs offer a chance to transform companies into CO2-resilient organisations. In this webinar, we will explain why the inherent CO2 complexity requires going beyond the classical management toolbox to reduce emissions. Using award-winning economic concepts, we will introduce some practical solutions to carbon emissions and provide an insight into a price-driven internal marketplace for CO2.

The automotive industry is suffering from declining sales of combustion engines, a ramp-down driven by electromobility, the Diesel scandal and the Covid-19 crisis. For the first time, this industry - where growth has always been taken for granted - can no longer play the old tunes of "better, faster, and alway more". Instead, everyone is now bein faced with decreasing numbers, struggling suppliers and the collective transformation of an entire industry. And the consequences of Covid-19 are fuelling this development, leading to the build-up of a true Tsunami of insolvencies. At the same time, we observe that many players in the market have not yet adapted their strategies and on the contrary seem to follow the beaten path. In this webinar, we will share our observations, analyse the unpromising conventional strategies and line out a ramp-down management programme using Market Design.

The Covid-19 lock-down brought a sudden change to working culture and transformed office life into a home office one. Even though we, as consultants, were travelling a lot and working very flexibly before, the lock-down was and, to some extent, still is a challenge for us as well. In this webinar, we will share our five strategies to maintain efficiency and team spirit during lock-down. We will also share background on why these strategies work from a research perspective to give you even more reasons to adopt them yourselves. And of course, we will spice it up with our very own experiences and stories.
