BUSINESS

V závěrečné části konference byly představeny prezentace jednotlivých společností – Hyundai, Kovona System a Siemens

– a jejich konkrétní příklady úspor. Společnost Hyundai například představila program pro zlepšování návrhů zaměstnanců

a také tým CFT zaměřený na úspory energie a snižování emisí CO2. ,,Zásadní je, aby

zaměstnanci vnímali, že jejich nápady jsou

vítány a mají reálný dopad,” komentuje za

společnost Hyundai vedoucí administrativní subdivize Petr Michník. Kovona System

se zaměřila na práci se zaměstnanci, efektivní investice do vzdělávání a celkovou

flexibilitu společnosti, včetně jejich komunikace: ,,Software a další nástroje jsou druhořadé. Nejprve je nutné rozhodnutí, že

digitalizaci a automatizaci myslíte vážně.

Následně je potřeba zajistit sběr dat, investovat čas a finance do aktivace projektu,”

zaznělo z úst Radomíra Mikoláše, vedoucího personálního oddělení.

Společnost Siemens předvedla účastníkům konference, jak lze využít inovace

a digitalizaci k propojení reálného světa

s digitálním prostředím.

The Success of IDEA FORUM 2023

The first ever IDEA Forum conference became an important event for companies and

entrepreneurs in the Moravian-Silesian region, at which they discussed current topics within

business and economic development. More specifically, debates were focused on cost saving

measures in companies, regional development, investment into human capital and making use of

new technologies such as artificial intelligence.

The two main speakers at the event,

Ivo Vondrák and Petr Janský, talked

about the development potential of

the Moravian-Silesian region and the state

of specific macroeconomic indicators in

the context of current global events. They

put special emphasis on public finances,

low unemployment rates and the decline

in real wages. They also mentioned

the recently presented savings package

and opened a discussion on property tax.

The panel discussion at the conference

brought together multiple important

Czech figures from various fields. Chief

economist for Generali CEE Holding and

former Governor of the Czech National

Bank, Miroslav Singer, CEO and major

shareholder of Kofola, Jannis Samaras,

entrepreneur and patron of the arts, Jan

Světlík, as well as former Governor of

the Moravian-Silesian region Ivo Vondrák

were all part of the panel. The discussion

revolved around the current economic

situation and an evaluation of the last

three years which were heavily affected by

the covid pandemic and war in Ukraine,

leading to the stunted economic growth

of companies. Other discussion topics

included digitalisation, artificial intelligence

and related processes within companies,

cost saving measures and the future

in general. The panel was directed by

the conference’s moderator, Jakub Železný.

Jan Světlík opened a gripping conversation

about the usage of hydrogen, where he

expressed concerns similar to the ones

he brought up in the discussion on

artificial intelligence, suggesting that

Europe has fallen behind Asian countries

such as Japan.

The final block of the conference consisted

of presentations from Hyundai, Kovona

System and Siemens, where they introduced

specific cost saving measures that worked

for them. Hyundai, for example, introduced

their employee suggestion system and

CFT team, which is focused on maximizing

energy savings and lowering CO2 emissions.

“Making sure employees know that their

ideas are welcomed and end up having a real

impact is important,” Petr Michlík, leader

of Hyundai’s administrative subdivision,

commented on behalf of the company.

Kovona System focused on working with

employees, effective investment into

education and the overall flexibility of

a company, including communication.

“The decision to take digitalisation and

automation seriously comes first. This

then needs to be followed by information

gathering and the investment of time and

money to realize the project. Software and

other tools come later,” Radomír Mikoláš,

director of the Personnel Department, said.

Finally, Siemens presented the attendees

with ways in which innovation and

digitalisation can be used to connect

the real world with a digital ecosystem.
