Dear partners and colleagues! ”Reality and information are the same“ writes the famous Austrian quantum physicist Anton Zeilinger. It is indeed true that our subjective reality of information entering our humanistic “instrument for viewing the world” via the sense organs is construed and represented mentally in our consciousness. This means nothing more that the picture we create of the outside world is generated primarily by information. As a consequence, our actions are largely dependent on it and determine our life in the sense of success or lack of success, or “works“ or “does not work“.

The same applies to a company which, in line with corporate objectives, seeks to offer its customers optimal benefit through its services and, in turn, achieves success itself.

In this context, a company is nothing more than a human information network which is networked with its outside world, or better, contemporaries (customers, suppliers, consultants, markets, society – i.e. all manner of interaction partners). Information therefore plays a central role.

In the Komptech academy, we are aiming to address this issue by attempting to provide you with relevant information and, even more still, to generate new information in an interaction process on your feedback and to convert it into service innovation.

The content of this Komptech academy program is directed mainly at our sales partners, employees in Sales and Customer Service, at “opinion leaders“ amongst our customers and, lastly, at our own employees working in this area.

The emphasis of the information we hope to convey is placed on the following: • The Komptech company philosophy (fundamental content of the mission statement) • Product information (information on the customer benefit of our products and services) • Service training • Future issues (“Future Management“) I am confident that, in the Komptech Academy project, we have initiated a future-orientated program which will represent a decisive tool in the quick and purposeful communication of key information. It will enable us to make the entire network (you as our partner, customers and ourselves) more efficient in terms of higher levels of customer benefit.

Yours, Josef Heissenberger

The Komptech Academy “The aim is long-term and mutually successful partnerships.“ This is part of the Komptech mission statement and hence part of the fundamental company philosophy.

Well-informed partners satisfy the demands of Komptech in the marketplace.

This is why Komptech insists on highly qualitative products as well as the best trained customers, partners and employees.

The Komptech academy should contribute to the achieving of these goals.

The pillars of the Komptech academy

Academy for employees

The best trained employees represent the greatest capital within Komptech.

They form the foundations upon which the longterm objectives of Komptech can be achieved.

The employee academy identifies the weaknesses of every employee and provides support.

Academy for partners

Future Management

With its comprehensive training program, Komptech is contributing to ensuring partners and employees are kept fully up-todate.

Only wellinformed partners and employees guarantee Komptech sustainable success in the marketplace.

Komptech is continually addressing the issue of potential future developments and is attempting to assert influence in terms of sustainable development.

Komptech uses academy days and waste management/ biomass conferences as platforms to keep its partners, customers and employees informed.

Training programme Komptech is looking to use this training program to keep all of its partners fully up-to-date.

The “Komptech Philosophy“ base module provides all of our partners with a fundamental understanding of the company philosophy. Building on this, we train our partners in the “Sales“ and “Service“ base modules, with a possibility of more in-depth training on top of these.

The coming years will see additional and extended training content in these areas, incorporating as a matter of urgency any partner requirements and feedback.

We will also be glad to arrange with you any tailored training requirements.

From 2009 there is a cost contribution, which contains accommodation and travel costs (from airport/railway station Graz or in Germany from the nearest railway station), as well as all training documents and catering during the training program.

“Service” training plan Komptech Academy Service New machine concepts, continual development of the existing machine range and our permanent commitment to customer benefit necessitate (especially in service management) the documentation and, in an organised process, communication of information.

We understand communication of knowledge to be bilateral at all times. This means that Komptech attempts to impart information and knowledge within a professional environment on the functionality, possibilities and servicing of our machines. In return, a high level of knowledge and experience is of course shared within the group and with Komptech.

Our aim with the Komptech Academy trainings is the stimulation and use of this high level of knowledge potential.

We have decided to train certified service experts so as to allow as many service technicians to access this knowledge internationally. Equipped with Komptech documentation, these service experts can then hold trainings within their own companies in their respective language tailored to countryspecific requirements.

Building upon the training program, one service expert is kept continually up-to-date on technical machine developments and innovations in service support and is invited to take part in the program of continuous exchange of experiences.

A modular training program is offered for Service: • “Service Basic“ module • “Service Advanced” module • “Service Expert” module The training program can of course be tailored to the respective requirements of a partner/customer.
