Sharing knowledge and good practices is one of the core values of BiZZdesign. We regularly organize and contribute to online and offline seminars, conferences and round tables.

Agilität ist zu einer wichtigen Fähigkeit der Unternehmen geworden. Das Tempo, bei dem die Kunden sich verändern, bei dem neue Gesetze und Verordnungen ihre Dienstleistungen und Prozesse beeinflussen und die Schnelligkeit, mit der Wettbewerber, wie Google und Apple, sie herausfordern, führt allzu oft zu einem enormen Druck auf das Unternehmen. Dabei kann sich der Druck in unterschiedlicher Art und Weise bemerkbar machen, wie zum Beispiel Druck sich schnell zu verändert, oder neue Technologien einzuführen, Wachstum zu generieren oder Kosten zu reduzieren. In Folge dessen ist die Agilität schlichtweg notwendig, um überhaupt mit ständigen Innovationen schnell auf dem Markt agieren zu können. Beides, Innovation und Flexibilität, sind für eine nachhaltige Positionierung am Markt notwendig.
