RIM Academy
The RIM Academy
Since 2017, we have been operating our Youtube channel.
The goal was to make parts of our knowledge available to the general public.
Do you know this? You want to penetrate complex digitalization topics from within your company. Now you are dependent on consulting a software vendor or a consulting firm. It is in the nature of things that their first intention is to sell the software or the service and only in second place to provide you with precise knowledge. It is therefore often difficult to obtain valid, neutral knowledge about digitization. This is where our YouTube channel comes in.
We wanted to convey the essence of knowledge on the topics of digitization, PLM, ERP, configuration, etc. in a condensed form. The success of our channel proved us right. Behind the channel is what we call the RIM High Performing Method and Knowledge Machine, our steadily growing toolbox of methods and knowledge.
With the initiation of the RIM Academy, we have decided to make this available to the public in different teaching and learning formats. All our formats can be certified on request. In doing so, we work with the Steinbeis+Academy together.
The special feature of the RIM Academy
When we speak of the RIM Academy, we sometimes use the Shaolin Monastery term for digitization. This analogy derives from the specificity of our view of digitization, much like the specificity of the Shaolin monks' martial art. We know from our projects and the feedback from our clients that there is great strength in our viewpoints and methods, and that they combine theory and practice with extraordinary precision. Of course, we also share the humility of the Shaolin monks. There are many views on the topic of digitization and many competitors in the market who, like us, offer exceptional teaching and consulting concepts.
Just as the teaching in Shaolin Monastery is based on the techniques of Shaolin Kung Fu, the RIM Academy is based on a set of concepts and principles that give it its uniqueness in the context of knowledge transfer.
The language system of the RIM-High Performing Method and Knowledge Machine
Within the framework of our RIM-High Performing Method and Knowledge Machine, we have created a language and explanation level that abstracts the complex interrelationships of reality in an understandable and technology-neutral way. It is a naturally usable language system which is sufficiently formalized in the focused subject areas (the system enterprise) to be able to speak precisely. This creates a completely new discussability of the most complex contents around the Digitization. From our level of language and explanation, a system of precise maps has emerged for a basic orientation of digitization in companies that has not existed before. Our methodologies are reality extracted. We have crystallized the associated knowledge extracts with our methods of ontology contouring and reality extracted categorization from the exact application in operational reality.
Prima Inter Pares Principle of Digitization Knowledge
Digitizing companies means digitally mapping corporate reality in order to then prospectively simulate real (business) processes, digitally automate them or technically support their execution. For this purpose, information architectures are mapped in IT systems. These have special information and structure semantics suitable for the respective purpose. Information and structure semantics thus form the skeleton or framework through which business processes are handled. The desired behavior to be mapped in the IT system is anchored in their objects. This means that information and structure semantics play a key role in the transfer of digitization knowledge (prima inter pares). The RIM-Prima Inter Pares principle picks up on this insight and thus places information and structure semantics as Prima Inter Pares at the center of all RIM Academy teaching concepts.
Project Competence Principle
The Steinbeis Project Competence Concept is based on a consistent practical orientation with a solid scientific foundation.
With this concept, we are breaking new ground in terms of both content and organization:
This is because the projects carried out by our students, as integral transfer instruments, ensure that students acquire the necessary competence during as part of their courses to transfer the knowledge they have acquired through practical application in a company. At the same time, the projects associated with the courses ensure that the practical orientation in terms of the student's learning objectives is consistently pursued and promoted throughout the entire duration of the studies
