The Flip effect: How DHBW connects all employees

Since January 1st 2021, the management program of the Consumer Goods Trade Program at DHBW Heilbronn, led by Prof. Dr. Stephan Rüschen, has been communicating with all first-year students exclusively via Flip.

Private messengers and tons of emails have been replaced by the clear and intuitive app. Before, a lot of information got lost, and the management program had to communicate several times via different channels to reach and inform all students. In a comparative study with a student group that communicated without the Flip App, significant improvements and facilitations in communication were found. Among other things, the study showed that 100 % of the respondents fully agreed that they were able to reach their course director well (only 77.78 % in the comparison group without the app).

"The app has significantly improved and sped up communication. It ist so intuitive, you didn't even have to look at the manual for it."
