Bucerius Innovation Day 2021
We – my Innovation Partner Sandra Thiel, my Regional Technology Director Christiane Müller-Haye and Daniel Wilkus from the ITSC – have been at the Bucerius Innovation Day in Hamburg.
All around Platform Economics – is it more of a chance or risk for the legal industry?
Sandra and I introduced the legal industry part with the general thought process of law firms around platform economics, our expectations and experiences.

Andrew Klein from Reynen Court touched on all the beauty of the platform, how it can drive business value and embrace technology within the legal community. Dierk Schindler from Bosch took us through the ride of DIKE, part of the Common Legal Plattform which will hopefully materialise with funding from the GAIA/X budgets.
Marcus Trapp and Claudia Nass from Fraunhofer IESE entertained us with their amazing presentation about chances and challenges of digital ecosystems and platform economy.

On Tuesday I enjoyed my first business ride on a train since March 2020, followed by a nice 2G* networking dinner, including an overnight stay in a hotel.

Weeks #22 to #24: Time flies, we still have so much to do. For DAC6, we have introduced an interim process just in time and selected in parallel a tool that has been configured and trained over the last few weeks and will soon go live. Many thanks, Olaf Scholz.
