These principles help to enhance operational efficiency and respond to changing market conditions.

Success Factor: Interim Management
Daniel Rolla, co-founder of Swiss Interim Management, shared his extensive experience in interim management. He emphasized how interim managers can strengthen the agility and adaptability of companies, highlighting the importance of these skills today. He also pointed out that interim managers can bring new impulses to companies through their external expertise. It is not just the quickly available and deep expertise in the respective field but also the right amount of "out-of-the-box thinking" that can initiate positive and long-term processes in companies.
Trends in Deployment Planning and Technology
Gianmario Dussin and Daniel Rolla discussed the deployment planning of interim managers with Urs Hefti. Among other things, they highlighted an innovative software from "Wilson" (a startup from Berlin) for efficient resource management. The modern workforce management software optimizes scheduling, improves operational processes, and increases employee and customer satisfaction. The "WILSON Share" variant is specifically developed for the railway sector, designed to optimize personnel deployment and collaboration with partners.
Office Tour
Daniel Rolla and Gianmario Dussin were given a tour of Trainbutlers' modern offices, located in the beautiful Freiburg city center near Colombipark. The inspiring work environment and innovative corporate culture were positively highlighted.
The paintings and photographs by Barbara Weber also stood out. Since January 2024, the renowned artist from Männedorf on Lake Zurich has been exhibiting her impressive works at Trainbutlers. The exhibition was generously provided as a free loan to the company in Freiburg i. B. Urs Hefti, CEO of Trainbutlers, an art lover and connoisseur, will oversee the works until further notice and make them accessible to the public. All interested parties are warmly invited to view Barbara Weber's works on-site.
The meeting concluded with a delicious lunch near the Freiburg Minster. Gianmario and Daniel enjoyed a fine ice cream as the crowning conclusion. All in all, it was a successful day in Freiburg.
Conclusion
The visit from Swiss Interim Management to Trainbutlers was an inspiring opportunity for knowledge exchange and strengthening business relationships. Both companies agree: Interim management is a key to success in today's increasingly dynamic business world.
