30 Years – Christine Dworschak and the Human Side of Work
“SBB/UC4/Automic and ARGO – to me, they simply belong together. And honestly, it was probably the best time of my professional life. Year after year, Bernhard and I sat in my office in Wolfsgraben and planned the training program for the coming year. Together, we probably experienced everything the world of people development has to […]
30 Years – Mislav Spajic – Walking the Talk
“About 25 years ago, as I was finishing my studies, I was convinced that my days of learning were behind me. My plan was simple: to have no plan at all. I believed I knew everything I needed and would only need to brush up on my ‘vast knowledge.’ Nevertheless, I started improving my German […]
30 Years – Lucas Unger and the Polar Expedition
“I look back very fondly on my time at ARGO as a young trainer. There are many highlights and associations I could talk about.

Heinz Polsterer and the Odyssey of 2001 It was the year 2001 when our System Technology team—formerly max.system—set out for new horizons. Decades earlier, Stanley Kubrick had already foreseen the significance of the year 2001 when he made the film 2001: A Space Odyssey.

30 Years – Matthew Strauss – When the world opens
In April, 2010 I made my first trip from Budapest to Vienna as a new ARGOnaut, having recently joined the company as Managing Partner for Hungary and going then to the ARGO headquarters for a strategy session. To this day, I can remember very clearly the feeling, as I crossed the border heading “west” into […]
