Get-to-Know Workshop (2024, April 12th and 13th)

On April 11th, fourteen members of our work group met at Ljubljana - with a loud "hello" - the first evening we spent in the nice restaurant "Guliver" with lots of hugs, laughing and chatting...

dinner at Guliver with all work group members

The next day we drove to schwarzmann in Polhov Gradec, 20 km away from Ljubljana.

First action after saying hello had been a tour around, followed by defining the topics for the four teams, consisting of ICV-work group members and staff members of schwarzmann.

The topics are:
1. Process and capacity management for projects
2. Project management, process, communication and learnings
3. Identify and analyse cost/profitability variances in projects
4. Cost of flexibility - worth or not worth?

The mixed teams:

Team 1 (Process and capacity management) - team leader Olga Rudenko

Team 2 ( Project management) - team leader Borut Kadunc

Team 3 (cost/profitability) - team leader Roger Maurer

Team 4 (Cost of flexibility) - team leader Edyta Szarska

Discussion in the teams...

All the ICV internationale work group members and the schwarzmann collegues - having had an interesting day.

In the evening we have been invited by schwarzmann to the restaurant "Hisa Jamnik" in Ljubljana - great food, great talks...

Final presentation on Saturday afternoon

Saturday afternoon, back in Ljubljana: walking around and enjoying nice city - and in the evening dinner all together.

On Sunday all work group members travelled back home...
Now there is a lot of work for the teams, many meetings via Teams or Zoom - and in September we will see us again...

Exchange Workshop in Frankfurt/Oder (september 28th 2024)

On saturday in september 28th we have presented and discussed the results of our four team-works. Lots of discussion, many learnings...
The day before, we met in the evening, visited the "Oderturm" (Odertower) and had a great view upon the Oder, being flooded with very very much water. This flood caused extensive damage in Czechia and southern Poland. Afterwards we have been enjoying italian dinner nearby our hotel.
On saturday afternoon we walked along the Oder, still being impressed by the flood, crossing the Europe-bridge to Slubice, the polish neighbouring town of Frankfurt/O. A very fine italian dinner in Slubice finished our meeting.

As you can see we used MS-Teams to connect two members from Slovenia to our discussion...
