Overview of the InnoPeer AVM Training Modules

Let’s take a closer look at what belongs to Advanced Trainings.

The basic training is the first training in the InnoPeer AVM Qualification Programme and has the goal to introduce the topic of AVM (AdVanced Manufacturing = Industrie 4.0) in general as well as the three knowledge dimensions AVM-rel. technology, human resource and org. mgmt. as well as business model development & strategy. The basic training has a duration of three days and will be held as a local course in each region.

Regarding the advanced trainings, five trainings are held with a duration of two days each. There will be two trainings for technology, one training for human resource management (HRM), one for organisational management and one for business model development in conjunction with business strategy. These trainings will be held as webinar. In the advanced trainings, 1-2 teaching cases per training will be used to further impart the knowledge on the different topics.

Under the "Documents" label you can find the project partners' summery about the 1st round of basic trainings. 

The next steps are :

  • the organization of the second round of basic trainings
  • the preparation of the advanced training materials.


Let’s take a closer look at what belongs to Advanced Trainings.

3.1  Identification of Opportunities for New or Changing Business Models Made Possible by I4.0
In the past years, many different methods in developing Business models have been carried out by consulting companies. The most common methods in developing business models in terms of digitalisation are the following:

  1. Business Model Canvas: (BMC) is a strategic management template for developing new or documenting existing business models. Including: Customer segments, Value Propositions, Channels, Customer Relationships, Revenue Streams, Key resources, Key Activities, Key Partnerships, Cost Structure )
  2. Design Thinking : Design thinking is an innovation method for working with predominantly interdisciplinary teams. Design thinking process is divided into three major phases of development: inspiration and user research, creative idea development, prototyping and testing. This approach is further enhanced by the further strategic design of the solutions developed and their implementation in the company.
     

3.2  Describing different new I4.0-Business Models

This section is giving a recap of already mentioned aspects of opportunities to develop digital business models. There are 3 approaches for business development.

  1. The first one aims to optimise an existing business model
  2. The second approach is to conquer neighboring business models
  3. The third approach aims to build entirely new business models - and here, in particular, digitalisation has drastically lowered entry barriers.
