Balancing Innovation and Risk Management
Markus believes that innovation is a crucial factor in organizational decision-making. He emphasizes the importance of nding a balance between promoting innovations and managing risks, while also ensuring stability and protability. Encouraging a culture that values calculated risks is essential, along with providing resources for research, development, and learning from failures. Maintaining stability requires effective risk management and the push for business and operational efciency. Open communication within the leadership team helps align these efforts with business goals for the future growth. Markus promotes a systematic approach to decision-making which is typically a longer process than off-the-cuff decisions. He focuses on identifying risks and implementing mitigation strategies such as avoidance, reduction, sharing, and acceptance. He also promotes collaboration among teams for thorough risk assessment and adaptation to changing circumstances, even though the results cause a change or adjustment of initial ideation stages.

Technology is making breakthrough inventions, one such invention is 3D printing. 3D printing has been used to make various day-to-day necessities such as toothpaste squeezers, keychains, and Phone holders. 3D Printing has its major conveniences.
If you want to learn 3D printing, you have come to the right place. Here we will show you what is 3D printing and the 15 coolest 3D printing ideas for beginners.
What is 3D Printing?
3D printing is the process of creating a threedimensional object. The printing is carried out by placing the material layer by layer on top of itself. The printer reads the le in the computer which guides the printer on how to implement the material layer by layer.
