Tink Tank Recap – April 3

At our last Think Tank, we had an engaging discussion about how Continuous Improvement (CI) can become an integral part of company culture. Two real-world examples — the 5S principle, where workplaces gradually slipped back into old habits, and an underused problem-solving whiteboard — made one point particularly clear:

The feeling of togetherness doesn’t happen by itself — it is the result of continuous effort and intentional team building.

Key to driving sustainable change are team spirit, communication, and individual accountability. One particularly inspiring insight was the realization that, as experts, we often forget how challenging it can be to grasp a topic for the first time. Becoming aware of this fosters understanding and helps create an open learning culture. A heartfelt thank you to all participants for their valuable contributions — we look forward to the next Think Tank!

What is the objective?

The goal of our Think Tank is to share experiences and learn from one another. The focus is on the challenges that companies face in their day-to-day operations. A wide range of issues are discussed openly — from operational difficulties and project execution and organization challenges to technical and subject-matter questions.
