TESTIMONIALS
„The DDI Workshop worked very well. Companies were satisfied and they all thought it was very relevant to define their business strategies.“
Diego López-de-Ipiña González-de-Artaza, PhD
„The DDI workshop we organized for the SMEs in Murcia was a great success. The expectation was very high and all available seats were booked within 24 hours after the workshop was published online. The participants appreciated very much to have a tool at hand that guides them in systematically analyzing new data-driven business ideas. After the workshop participants were looking forward to put the tool in practice in their companies.“
Tonny Velin
“The DDI Workshop was one of the highlights of the BDV PPP Riga Summit. It was skillfully managed to explain the methodology and to show its application on the basis of a real use case. The workshop was very practical and highly interactive, engaging everyone in the audience in active participation. This greatly helped to learn essentials of the method and to see the importance of all its elements for successful data-driven innovation.”
Andrejs Vasiljevs
„The DDI Workshop is a great workshop format that helped us tremendously to efficiently deep dive and structure both the supply as well as the demand side of a concrete prescriptive Siemens SCM Use Case.”
