Standards and Processes
Standards and Processes Seminar


The seminar is offered exclusively in German.
The seminar ‘Standards and Processes’ explains why standards, norms and structured processes form the foundation of modern industrial enterprises. In an age of digitalisation, automation, cybersecurity and artificial intelligence, it is clear that sustainable innovation does not begin with technology, but with clearly defined structures, responsibilities and procedures.
The focus is on understanding how standards, norms and processes interact and why they are crucial prerequisites for quality, safety, digitalisation and international competitiveness. The seminar demonstrates how companies can safeguard knowledge, reduce risks and lay the foundations for successful transformation projects.
