Could you be a Siemens Community Catalyst?
We’re initiating the Siemens Community Catalysts (SCC) program to recognize and reward a select group of Siemens community members, who consistently distinguish themselves through contributions to the extended Siemens community.
Read on for you how you can participate in the selection process or become a Community Catalyst yourself!
Who are the SCCs?
Committed to manufacturing and engineering excellence, innovation and progress for themselves, their industry and their peers, Siemens Community Catalysts represent, serve and lead our global community in their own unique ways.
They’re the people you rely on, respect and admire because of their contributions and character.
SCCs are…
- Design, engineering and manufacturing experts, who are knowledgeable about Siemens Digital Industries Software products and constantly seek to improve, excel and innovate
- Motivated by helping peers and willing to dedicate their own time to do so out of their own goodwill
- Respected professionals who are active in their industry and invested in seeing it become more effective, innovative and socially responsible
- Noteworthy thought leaders who share their vision and expertise as speakers, presenters and writers across business, social and educational contexts (online and off)
- Passionate, as we are, about digitization, collaboration and what the future of work could be, and to that end, willing to give SISW feedback and guidance, as well as promote SISW products and solutions to peers
And last, perhaps most important, SCCs find personal satisfaction in helping others, solving problems, even sticky ones.
Maybe that’s you!
We appreciate all the ways that community members show up for each other, the industry and the ever-changing world.
With the launch of the SCC program, we seek to bring visibility to the impact that individuals are making, to strengthen the bonds among us, and to help members, like you, from all over the global Siemens community, to more effectively learn from each other and to excel in your respective and interconnected fields.
Ok, let’s get into the details of the program.

How do you become an SCC?
SCCs are nominated by Siemens staff and the community. You can self-nominate too! The Siemens Community Catalyst (SCC) award is valid for one year, with the opportunity to re-qualify each year or to be granted Alumni status.
Employees are not eligible for the award, and the SCC Program does not imply, create or represent an employment relationship, nor the expectation of compensation
We kicked off with a pilot program in January with 19 members who are playing a large role in helping shape and design the program to it’s final state.
Nominations have re-opened now through April 8, 2022. We are looking for the next SCCs to join the cohort in time for a full program launch around Realize Live.
To recap, as briefly as I can:
- We’re kicking off the SCCs program to recognize, reward and connect a select group of Siemens community members.
- SCCs are nominated by Siemens staff and the community via this Nomination Form.
- Nominations for the first cohort for the pilot program have closed.
- Nominations for the second cohort for the full program launch at Realize Live are open until April 8, 2022.
We’re really excited about this, and hope you are too! If you have any questions, please reply to this post or email the SCC team at communitycatalyst.sisw@siemens.com.
