**INNOtalk #18** presents "**Vom Unternehmens-Pain Point zur Lösung: Abschlussarbeiten mit Business Impact mit Studyond & Kühne+Nagel**" *«Wenn Abschlussarbeiten echten Business Impact schaffen»* Jährlich entstehen rund 95’000 Abschlussarbeiten an Schweizer Hochschulen – jedes Mal mehrere Monate Forschung, Analyse und Lösungsentwicklung. Und doch bleibt der grösste Teil dieses Wissens ungenutzt. Dabei bieten Abschlussarbeiten Unternehmen einen direkten Zugang zu Top-Talenten, aktuellem Fachwissen und neuen Lösungsansätzen. Richtig aufgesetzt, werden sie zu konkreten Innovationsprojekten – ohne klassische Projektbudgets und mit minimalem Vorlauf. Der INNOtalk #18 zeigt diesen Weg anhand eines konkreten Studyond-Projekts mit Kühne + Nagel: \- wie aus einem realen Unternehmens\-Pain Point eine wirksame Abschlussarbeit entsteht – und welche Learnings andere Unternehmen daraus mitnehmen können\. Moderiert wird die Diskussion von Viktoria Mauz, Active Member der swissICT Fachgruppe Innovation. **Worum geht es im Panel konkret?** Anhand eines realen Projekts mit Kühne+Nagel diskutiert das Panel, wie verlässlich daten- und KI-gestützte Prognosen in hochdynamischen Märkten tatsächlich sind. Im Fokus steht die Frage, wo wirtschaftliche Erklärbarkeit endet und wo Prognosemodelle unter realistischen Markt- und Schockbedingungen an ihre Grenzen stossen – und welche Konsequenzen dies für unternehmerische Entscheidungen hat. **Warum sollten Sie an diesem INNOtalk teilnehmen?** * ***Abschlussarbeiten neu denken***: Warum sie ein unterschätzter Innovationshebel sind - und wie daraus echter Business-Impact entsteht. * **Vom Pain Point zur Lösung**: Wie Unternehmen konkrete Herausforderungen in erfolgreiche Studierendenprojekte übersetzen. * **Zusammenarbeit konkret umsetzen**: Wie Themenfindung, Betreuung und Ergebnissicherung zwischen Unternehmen, Hochschulen und Studierenden funktionieren. * ***Innovation skalierbar machen***: Welche Rolle Plattformen wie Studyond dabei spielen, Zufall durch Struktur zu ersetzen. **REFERENT:INNEN & PANEL** **[Dr. Alexandra Allgaier](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexandra-allgaier/)** Mitgründerin bei ***[Studyond](https://studyond.com/)*** **[Jonas Bläser](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonasblaehser/)** Global Head of Sea Logistics Business Intelligence bei ***[Kuehne+Nagel](https://www.kuehne-nagel.com/de)*** **[Lino Reye](https://www.linkedin.com/in/lino-reye/)** Masterstudent Business Innovation, ***[Universität St. Gallen (HSG)](https://www.unisg.ch/de/)***[ ](https://www.unisg.ch/de/) **MODERATION** **[Dr. Viktoria Mauz](https://www.linkedin.com/in/viktoria-mauz/)** Active Member der ***[swissICT Fachgruppe Innovation](https://www.swissict.ch/professional-group/innovation/)*** Campus Sales Manager bei ***[Nokia](https://www.nokia.com/)*** **DETAILS** 🗓️ Datum und Uhrzeit: **Donnerstag, 12.

Join us for a live (private) session of **Mäng (offline in Zürich or online worldwide)**, a powerful self-exploration game that helps uncover hidden mental scripts and rewire the way you think, feel and act. Mäng is a modernized version of an ancient contemplative practice — reimagined as a transformational tool based on psychological insight, symbolic logic, and inner strategy. It is not therapy or coaching in the traditional sense. Instead, it’s an immersive deep-dive into the unconscious mind through metaphor and archetype with a game spirit. 💡 **How it works:** Mäng is built on four stages of real, lasting change: 1. **Discovery** – Identify limiting beliefs and internal programs 2. **Uninstallation** – Let go of outdated patterns 3. **Design** – Create new mental strategies 4. **Integration** – Embed them into your deeper awareness You’ll be guided through this process by the **Master of Mäng**, who offers structure, questions, and insight — while you remain the one making all decisions and discoveries. 🌿 **Who is this for?** * People feeling stuck or unsure of their next steps * Those tired of repeating the same emotional patterns and looking for inspiration and clarity * Anyone curious about deeper transformation without spending years on it 🧭 No prior experience needed — just bring your question or theme. 🕒 **Important:** This is a deep game. A full session lasts **4 hours**. Time slots are defined individually. Contact me directly to get an appointment. Price for newbies: 250 CHF

Sundays, 2pm-3pm. Trial class: CHF 20 Drop-in: CHF 35 "I'll never be able to handstand". You kick at the wall but see no progress. Your wrists hurt. You don't know how to improve... It doesn't have to be this way. Progress doesn't come from trying harder — it comes from practicing smarter. Handstands are a skill, and when you train them as such, they begin to click in a way that feels almost magical. This class builds the foundations (strength, alignment and technique) that make handstands feel achievable and fun. Through clear progressions and personalized drills, you'll discover how capable your body truly is, and how handstands start to feel within reach when you train with intention and support. Because drills are tailored to you, the class welcomes all levels — from "I've never kicked up before" to confident freestanding balancers who want to develop greater control. If the class is full on MeetUp, you'll find more spots here: www.balancewithale.com/zurich/handstand

Hello dear Challengers, if you wish to join the Limmat swim and strengthen your body, join me to that swim. I will give you a short introduction on the "why" you should do it and then you will tell me if you want to do it. I am a trained lifeguard (SLRG), I did also the Hypothermia Module and I am swimming in the cold since 2015. Take with you all the necessary to swim, flip/flop, safe buoy (something like the orange donut here below, if you have it) and a Thermos. https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/a/a/7/5/600_466843637.jpeg See you there!

**Fear is a Gift Waiting to be Unwrapped** Many of us find ourselves stuck in situations that drain our happiness, yet we can’t seem to gather the momentum to break free. It could be an unhealthy relationship, a job that leaves you unfulfilled, social anxiety, or the relentless grip of worry. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone—millions, if not billions, of people face the same struggles. But here’s the interesting part—fear loses its grip the moment you confront it. The more closely you examine it, the weaker it becomes. Fear thrives in the shadows, and once exposed to light, it begins to dissolve. I invite you to join me for a few hours of practical learning where we’ll explore techniques to help you take charge of your fears. Together, we’ll fast-track your progress by sharing tools and insights that I’ve gathered through personal experience—lessons learned the hard way. **Fearless Living** was created as a space for us to tackle our fears head-on. Through regular workshops, we teach participants how to recognize, manage, and reduce the impact of fear so it no longer stands in the way of living fully. Let me be clear—I’m not a therapist, psychologist, or any kind of professional “-ist.” I’m simply someone who has wrestled with fear and come out the other side with insights to share. This event isn’t designed for those dealing with severe trauma or crisis, but for those ready to take that first step toward breaking free from the everyday fears that hold us back. If you’re ready to loosen fear’s hold on your life, I’d love for you to join us. **Feedback from previous workshop attendees:** [https://www.meetup.com/living-without-fear/feedback-overview/](https://www.meetup.com/living-without-fear/feedback-overview/) **Jafar** \- "Rocco embodies a wealth of practical experiences in truly living life\. In this event\, he explores one of the most fundamental human emotions: fear\, and inspires us on how to live fearlessly\.

It started like any other creative meeting\- whiteboard markers in hand\. The goal? The ideas felt safe\. We started asking real questions\. The brainstorm turned into a kind of therapy\. Vulnerability became the source of our most powerful ideas\. What made that brainstorm unforgettable wasn‘t the outcome\- it was the shift\. Sometimes\, solving the problem means confronting what we never thought to name\." **Mark** \- "I really connected to Rocco and he helped in giving me tools to face my fears\. A great workshop\." **Kenny** \- "The workshop truly empowered me to analyze my fear of public speaking and provided strategies for overcoming it\." **Nico** \- "Thanks for doing this\. I perceived your workshop as very useful with practical techniques that participants can apply without any prior knowledge\. Also\, you are clearly very passionate and competent about fear and ways to deal with it\. I'm looking forward to applying your techniques\!" **Kai** \- "Rocco knows his stuff\. He is able to create an atmosphere where it feels natural to talk about such an intimate topic as your personal fear\. I learned a lot\, about fear and about myself\!" **J.K.** \- "The topics we discussed resonated with me and I felt totally safe and relaxed to hear what bothered me\. Helpful and gives that kick to start acting for the better"\. **J. Zhu** \- "Everything you said in the workshop resonated with me\."\. **Alex** \- "You don't know what you walk into but it doesn't disappoint\. Rocco provides a unique atmosphere that encourages self\-reflection and taking action\." **Agi** \- "Thank you for providing us a great workshop\!

START TELLING Have you ever sat in the audience at a StorySLAM and thought, “I have a story like that, but I have no idea how to tell it”? Or maybe you have the idea, but you just don’t know how to make a 20-minute anecdote fit into an emotionally moving, 5-minute StorySLAM winner. Storytelling is a skill, not a secret gift. Whether you’re an aspiring newcomer looking to debut at our next StorySLAM, a professional wanting to have more impact in meetings, or a creator explaining your mission—this 3-hour intensive is the roadmap you've been waiting for. ### THE ROADMAP: THE 1-2-3 OF A GREAT STORY We strip away the jargon and focus on the purpose of you telling your story that actually touches people’s emotions: 1. **CONTEXT** (The Foundation): Setting the scene so we know where we are and who you were before everything changed. 2. **STAKES** (The Why): Why does this matter? What was at risk? Stakes are the tension you wind up that makes an audience lean into your story. 3. **CHANGE** (The Transformation): A story isn’t just a thing that happened; it’s how that thing changed you. We help you find your "Aha!" moment. ### **WHAT YOUR INVESTMENT DELIVERS:** * **20% Insight** / 80% Practice: We don’t just talk; we help you build, iterate and empower you to tell your story. * **Memory Mining**: We’ll help you dig for the "silver and gold" experiences, people and places - and shape them into a moving personal story. * **1-on-1 Coaching:** Direct feedback from Maria and Joel to polish your rough edges - plus reactions of fellow attendees. * **The Video:** Receive a high-quality video of your performance—perfect for self-review or your personal highlight reel. **Small Group Alert**: We limit this workshop to 10 spots to ensure everyone gets the "Olympic Coach" treatment. Don’t let your best stories stay locked away. Come for the camaraderie (and coffee), stay for the transformation. Secure your seat (and your croissant) now! **Story Workshop Programme** **10:00 - 11:00 Part 1 - 20% INSIGHT** * Foundations of storytelling * A process for story design * Mining memories for silver and gold **11:00 - 12:00 Part 2 - 80% PRACTICE** * First build - drafts with peer participant reviews * 1:1 coaching with Maria and Joel * Final drafts - practice round with fellow participants **12:00 - 12:10 Short drink break** **12:10 - 13:00 Part 3 - StorySLAM mini-Show** * Draw names from the story-sorting hat * Deliver 5-min StorySLAM on stage * Celebrate! our accomplishments! **13:00 Wrap up and goodbyes** **Secure your spot ON [EVENTFROG](https://eventfrog.ch/en/p/courses-seminars/other-courses-seminars/storytelling-workshop-transform-with-story-7430362970046118645.html) \- limited availability** PS Check out what workshop attendees have to say about their expereince in this **[1:45 min YT video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULcZ49FIDxs&t=2s))**

This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships. Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

One of the most valuable parts of this community is the opportunity to think out loud with other product professionals. This session is built for exactly that.

Join fellow product professionals for a focused, interactive conversation designed to help you recalibrate for the next quarter.

We’ll gather at 8:00AM, with discussion starting promptly at 8:15AM. 📍 First Watch - 7227 N High St Located in: The Shops at Worthington Ample parking is available.
