Digital Qualifier - Ludwigshafen University of Business and Society LUBS

The program "Design Thinking" takes place in cooperation with Prof. Dr. Martin Selchert of the University of Applied Sciences Ludwigshafen and in cooperation with SAP Next-Gen. Within the framework of this program, we want to network the University of Applied Sciences for Business and Society in Ludwigshafen and the business community.

This year, six teams from the first and second semesters of the Master's program in Business Information Systems will work on real-life tasks from companies from mid-March to mid-June 2019.

BASF, Camelot, SAP and Valantic have defined six different tasks that are intended to make work processes more innovative and digital.

The students apply the entire methodology of design thinking, an iterative-experimental and user-centered approach, to creatively develop innovative solutions for non-trivial challenges. The result can be, for example, applications, processes, products or services, new forms of customer, employee or supplier interaction, knowledge management. Crucial to success is the user's perspective - which is why students work directly with business users. They are supported by a project sponsor from the respective company and Prof. Dr. Martin Selchert. The feedback so far has shown that valuable results can be achieved for the companies, the students gain important experience and further contacts between companies and students are established.

The "Design Thinking" program takes place annually from March to June.

We plan to conduct the 5-HT Digital Qualifier in the future also with universities in the fields of health, chemistry, engineering and industrial engineering.

You will benefit from:

• Innovative solutions from students

• Contact to young talents

• Increase of your visibility

• Uncomplicated processing of your own challenges

• Collaboration with other companies and research institutions.
