We at the IT-Personalberatung Dr. Dienst & Wenzel GmbH & Co.KG were deeply touched by the voluntary work of the association “Gänseblümchen-Voerde e. V. (Lower Rhine Region)” to support children with cancer. This is why we decided that this year’s donation goes to this association in the hope that our generous donation will bring joy to the children.

Instead of sending Christmas presents to our clients, the IT-Personalberatung decided to support needy children and adolescents in the local environment of our company or its subsidiaries, in this case in the Lower Rhine Region.

The EHI Technology Days have been offering a glimpse into the future of trade every year for over 15 years. The IT-Personalberatung, represented by its managing director Manfred Wenzel, is a welcome, regular participant in this event, as many customers in IT retail rely on the services offered by the IT-Personalberatung.

Mr. Wenzel always considers the EHI Technology Days a worthwhile event, not only because IT retail is like “one big family”. It is also worthwhile because it is always a pleasure to meet long-standing, cherished, business partners and to establish new, interesting contacts with decision-makers in trade. Last but not least, it is also worthwhile to stay on top of the current technologies and trends in trade.

The Stuttgart Knowledge Forum is an event we at the IT-Personalberatung – as Top 100 Entrepreneurs chosen by Speakers Excellence – have been attending for many years and one which we are always looking forward to with great anticipation.

This year, Philip Keil (pilot, non-fiction writer, aviation expert, trainer and consultant) dazzled us with his gripping storytelling and expert knowledge in the fields of change management, leadership and teamwork. In the air, you have to rely on yourself and your team and sometimes, unfortunately, highly critical situations arise that require decisiveness. Mr. Keil has encountered this kind of situation himself in his over 8.000 flying hours.

Modern recruiting needs digitization to meet the applicants' expectations for a quick and result-oriented application process. However, our main focus should be on the individual that needs to be approached and engaged on a personal level.

At the Monster Symposium 2019, more than 300 participants from the HR sector explored the changes and challenges brought about by the digitization of recruitment processes and work environments.

Our impressions and pictures of the events

With around 200 participants, this year's German Personnel Consultants' Day in Bonn, organized by the Federal Association of German Management Consultants (BDU), was once again a highlight for all personnel consultants and headhunters active in this sector!

In view of the predominant theme of digital revolution and digital transformation, all challenges and change processes are clearly centered around the human being and the human capital.

This year the IT-Personalberatung once again attended this event.

Our impressions of the event

The IT-Personalberatung is focused on information technology and high-tech topics. However, most consultants choose to specialize in additional sectors or areas of technology. Viktoria Roenick and Manfred Wenzel, for example, specialize in IT in retail and logistics. Visiting the EuroShop trade fair is therefore a "must" for Ms. Roenick and Mr. Wenzel to keep track of the latest technological developments, to recognize trends, to strengthen our customer network and to gain the special and valuable access to the IT retail candidate market.

As we were able to witness first hand how our donation has helped ease the burden of children with cancer and their families in need last year, we decided to make another donation this year to the "Förderkreis krebskranke Kinder Stuttgart e.V.", putting the money we would have spent on Christmas gifts for our clients and partners towards a good cause.

The "Förderkreis krebskranke Kinder Stuttgart e.V." supports children and their parents in need during their treatment and therapy. The project "Blaues Haus" offers families and their sick children a temporal home away from home. Affected families can stay there during their child's inpatient treatment, find some rest and, most importantly, be very near to their children as the "Blaue Haus" is located in the immediate vicinity of the new Olgahospital children's clinic.

As a specialist in the retail industry, we consider the EuroCIS to be one of the most important events of the year. This time, it turned out to be a particularly exciting and highly motivating "excursion" into the latest developments in retail technology.

The battle for customers by means of new realms of experience based on sophisticated IT technologies faces retail with major challenges. Innovative shopping technologies offer more and more services and take even industry insiders by surprise.

This past year, we got into contact with the "Förderkreis krebskranke Kinder Stuttgart e.V." and their patient family housing program "Das Blaue Haus", a home from home where parents can stay during their child's treatment, and were deeply moved by the activities of this institution. You can find more information under: http://www.foerderkreis-krebskranke-kinder.de.

We would also like to express our warm thanks to our clients and partners, who indirectly contributed to this donation.

A different kind of networking: 50 businessmen - 50 different sports cars!

Social networking platforms like Xing, LinkedIn, or Facebook have their merits and provide a valuable source of contact and information.But to be honest, how often have they really helped you gain new customers and contracts?

I am firmly convinced that nothing can compete with live events, and I have numerous examples that prove my point.
