The magazine for employees of ZEISS Medical Technology

Dear MED TEAM,

Imagining what the future will be like is exciting. How will we live, work and travel? What will medical offices look like in the future? Or operating rooms? There are some people who try to predict the future with cards or crystal balls. At ZEISS, we prefer to place our trust in so-called "megatrends", which we analyze regularly so that we can derive recommended courses of action from them. And this is something we did again recently as part of #agenda25. So which megatrends did we look at, you ask? The infographic here¹ provides a glimpse: As you'll see, demographic data and technological developments played a role.

In this issue of ZOOM MED, you'll find plenty of other future-related ZEISS Medical Technology topics, as well as examples of how we are implementing #agenda25.

On behalf of my colleagues in G5 Management, I wish you an enjoyable and informative read.

I turn to this course when I need to up my presentation game. There’s so much more to learn about presentations than just how to break up a slide full of bullets.

I would recommend the 'First Leadership Experience' course. I've heard people say the "live" version is even better, but the digital version is still very good. Hossam did an amazing job organizing the course and making it interactive! Ideal for future leaders!
