Learning objectives, skills, and support:

The objectives of the seminar are to understand and apply innovative approaches in the context of digitalization of finance. In the Digital Lab of Siemens Healthineers on site (or remote), the students will be trained in customer-centric problem solving (Design Thinking), gain insights in fundamental concepts of Business Planning (incl. Valsight) and present their business case to the management jury in a final pitch. In addition, the participants improve their digital skills with the planning software Valsight, which enables a value-driver-based valuation of specific business cases.
