Canon Inspiration Days 2023
The Canon Inspiration Days 2023 were all about visions of the future. FUTURE CANDY had the chance to talk about the visionary ideas we need in order to achieve great things in future.
The Challenge.
The task
we faced.
How do we get back to big, visionary goals with the resources available to us? Visions and goals that look unreachable at first glance, yet awaken the motivation and willingness to take risks and turn visions into reality.
The Solution.
Was wir daraus
gemacht haben.
Keynote: Fly me to the Moonshot
This year the Canon Inspiration Days revolved around forward-looking topics such as digitalisation, IT security, customer experience and future trends. Over these days various speakers presented new developments and visions from different fields for the Digital Printing & Solutions division. The inspiring events ran under the motto "Into the future together with Canon". Nick Sohnemann and Roman Weishäupl gave keynotes on moonshots in Dresden, Munich, Berlin and Hamburg. These moonshots first shine a light on current trends and encourage visionary thinking. At best, those two components give rise to the business models that change the future. Our world faces complex problems, whether climate change, digitalisation or economic uncertainty. To tackle them we need a new way of thinking that goes beyond incremental improvement. We have to develop visions that inspire and activate. In their talks, Nick and Roman gave concrete examples of such moonshots – bold ideas that can change the world for the better. Small steps are no longer enough; moonshots are needed. Their keynotes made the case that we have to stop thinking only in problems and act in a far more solution-oriented way again. Roles have to be redefined – from passive spectator to active shaper of the future. Only then can the challenges of our time be mastered. Only then can we achieve what still seems impossible today! At the Canon Inspiration Days, Nick and Roman used their inspiring keynotes to make clear that a rethink is needed if we are all to achieve great things again.
What stuck
in the end.
Participants gained examples and lines of thinking for going beyond conventional limits and setting themselves ambitious goals, so they can take bold steps to tackle big challenges.
