Ricoh’s Connected Business Programme

The power of collaboration and partnership is core to Ricoh’s brand and the way we do business.

It is through collective imagination and knowledge sharing that Ricoh is able to continuously transform business processes and make them work better, together for everyone’s benefit.

We gain inspiration from our employees, customers and through the wider marketplace. That is why, Ricoh under the umbrella theme,  “Connected Business Programme” is partnering with leading business thinkers, academic and research organisations.

The Economist Conferences: Technology Frontiers

Ricoh is the founding sponsor of Technology Frontiers, a new concept for senior business decision makers that aims to better understand how business will operate in the future, as a result of the  impacts of technology.

We have already experienced more changes in the last decade, than any before us, as the digital revolution accelerated.   It has changed the way we work, communicate and process business critical transactions.  The Technology Frontiers conference will bring together leading business thinkers from across Europe to share and discuss their own thoughts and predictions for 2020 on the big questions such as:

• How will businesses be impacted by current and future changes in technology?  What are the opportunities?

• How are business models transforming themselves to adapt to future changes?

• What will be top of the agenda of the CIO and CTO in 2020?

Ricoh’s Academic Partnerships

Bocconi School of Management

In keeping with the ideals of its founders, Bocconi University seeks to address the research and education needs of the European and global economy, by favoring cultural progress, international exchange, and economic integration.  It was responsible for setting up the first, Ricoh sponsored, Document Management Academy to train business leaders of tomorrow on the need for effective business document processes. Ricoh experts in Italy play an active role in student lectures, and participate in the organising committee to ensure that course content reflects future business needs. 

Ricoh’s focus is to create a generation of business leaders that can transform business processes to be more profitable, efficient, react more quickly to workplace changes, meet customer needs and share knowledge more efficiently.
