Gerhard Zeidler, Vorsitzender/Chairman of the Board DEKRA e.V.20.30 Festbankett/BanquetWho’s going to win theDEKRA Award 2003?On Wednesday 31 March 2004 theDEKRA Award will be presented for thefifth time in Ludwigsburg. As every yearthis international, cross-industry awardwill be presented to a company whichhas attained outstanding results in the implementationof a management system.Visitors are warmly welcome at theawards ceremony.Suspense right until the endThe jury will decide who has picked upthe DEKRA Award 2003 shortly beforethe announcement of the winner at theawards ceremony in the LudwigsburgForum am Schlosspark. Right until thevery end there will be lots of suspense forthe applicants and visitors alike therefore.Who came off best in the five evaluationareas Management & Strategy, StaffOrientation, Management System &Processes, Staff Satisfaction, and CustomerSatisfaction? And will the decision be asclose as it has been in past years?One thing has been confirmed time andtime again however: All the winnersand finalists are highly successful companies.Those who introduce a managementsystem not simply because theyfeel obliged to do so, but who activelyuse and further develop such a system,seemingly create a clear advantage forthemselves in their industry. Thus theDEKRA Award lives up to its claim ofbeing “the future standard”.Ethical models for the futureIt is not by chance that the topic of thefuture is also a point of focus at theawards ceremony. The host StephanBaus will make it clear that a sustainableand healthy development can onlytake place if the personal and entrepreneurialethics of the individual coincideto a significant degree. In “stakeholdervalue”, the well-being of those who contributemost to the company, managementconsultant Hans-Joachim Schneideralso sees a decisive driving force behindsustainable success.Franz-Josef Fischer has for many yearsbeen working on behalf of the youngeststakeholders in society, children andyoung people. He is presenting hisaward-winning “Strahlemann” project,which brokers apprenticeships andtraining courses (see page 24). A quitedifferent meeting of differing generationsis that between Josef Schmidt andDr. Dr. Cay von Fournier. The founderof the eponymous Schmidt Colleg andinventor of the successful managementmodel UnternehmerEnergie (“entrepreneurialenergy”) looks back at itsorigins before his successor offers anoverview of the ethical basis for futureentrepreneurial viability, thus bringingus full circles to the opening speech byStephan Baus.The full schedule of the award ceremonycan be found on the left.
