***🔗 Link to registration: [https://luma.com/s8mfiusl](https://luma.com/s8mfiusl)*** We’re excited to invite you to a special edition of our next meetup - for the first time ever, Product Management Society Berlin is teaming up with Miro 🤝 This session will explore a timely topic: the future of the design process in an era of rapidly increasing production speed. While some chief designers at major companies have declared the design process “dead” or no longer fit for today’s pace, others strongly disagree. What changes when prototypes can be created in minutes? What are the limits? What remains essential? In the first part, we’ll open the floor to different perspectives from across the room. In the second part, we’ll work together to explore and shape ideas for a more resilient design process. Whether you're a PM, designer, or simply curious, you’re very welcome to join the discussion and contribute your ideas. 👉 Spots are limited - register on Luma using the link above ^ Looking forward to seeing you there!

Wie auf dem Bild bereits ersichtlich "streckt" sich das Café, was uns eine besonders geeignete Basis für intensiven Austausch zwischen den Teilnehmern ermöglicht. Darüber hinaus gibt es hervorragenden Kaffee sowie Gebäck- und Kuchen-Spezialitäten, vielleicht sogar in einem besonderen Combo-Deal für BNB-Teilnehmer. ;-) Vor Ort gibt es wie gewohnt frische Geschäftskontakte, neue Denkansätze und interessante Kooperationsmöglichkeiten. Wir stoßen dies durch eine moderierte Kontaktrunde an, in der sich jeder Teilnehmer kurz vorstellen (ca. 1 Minute) und anschließend intensiven Austausch mit den anderen Teilnehmern betreiben kann. Bringt bitte nach Möglichkeiten **Visitenkarten** mit, da diese uns das Netzwerken erleichtern. Zu Beginn der Veranstaltung gibt es üblicherweise einen Impulsvortrag. Solltest du Interesse haben, einen Impulsvortrag zu halten, so schreib uns sehr gerne.

Wir freuen uns darauf, auch dich persönlich kennenzulernen und dir bei der Entwicklung deines Geschäfts zu helfen! P.S.: Es werden mitunter Bilder auf den Events gemacht.

**ESMT Insight Hour with Paul M. Achleitner** **Schedule:** 5:30 p.m. - Registration opens 6:00 p.m. - Welcome from host, ESMT Berlin 6:05 p.m. - Talk of Paul M. Achleitner 6:30 p.m. - Discussion and Q&A 7:00 p.m. - Networking, drinks and nibbles will be provided 8:30 p.m. - Close Experience used to accumulate slowly. Today, decisions travel instantly, legitimacy can evaporate overnight, and leaders operate under permanent public scrutiny. So how do you lead and stay legitimate in a world that no longer feels stable? In this ESMT Insight Hour, **[Paul M. Achleitner](https://www.linkedin.com/in/paul-achleitner/)** joins us for a moderated conversation on leadership, corporate legitimacy, and performance in times of geopolitical disruption, digital transparency, and shifting societal expectations. Drawing on more than four decades across Goldman Sachs, Allianz, Deutsche Bank, and multiple supervisory boards, and reflecting the themes of his recent book, *Accelerate Your Experience: Principles for Success in a Fluid World*, Achleitner proposes three interconnected dimensions of modern management: * **Legitimacy** – why companies must earn their place in society beyond financial performance * **Performance** – how sustained value creation requires focus, discipline, and strategic clarity * **Leadership** – what integrity, intellectual humility, and judgment mean in an era of permanent visibility Rather than offering prescriptions, he distills experience into principles on stakeholder dynamics, public attention, geopolitical disruption, AI, crisis management, and the realities of “muddling through.” The conversation will explore: * Why legitimacy has become the decisive constraint for corporations * How leaders balance long-term value creation with short-term scrutiny * What performance really means when underperformance becomes normalized * The evolving role of boards in turbulent environments * Whether experience can, in fact, be “accelerated” Join us for an hour of reflection on leadership under pressure and on what it takes to remain effective, credible, and resilient. Moderated by **[Jörg Rocholl](https://esmt.berlin/person/jorg-rocholl)**[,](https://esmt.berlin/person/jorg-rocholl) President, ESMT Berlin. **About the speaker** **[Paul M.
