☕ Is it possible to learn without a cup of coffee? My wife would say absolutely not, but I believe it is. 😊   Deutsche Bank has introduced 'Mystery Coffee' as a component of its Learning & Development portfolio, where an algorithm has successfully matched over 48,000 'coffee drinkers'. This initiative serves as an excellent example of informal and social learning.   📖 For more details, check out our feature on learning organizations in the September 2024 issue of 'Personalführung'.   What are your favorite learning formats?   Happy reading!   #LearningAndDevelopment #SocialLearning #MysteryCoffee #DeutscheBank #InformalLearning #ContinuousImprovement #ProfessionalGrowth

The Panel on x-industry collaboration in the culture and creative sector, is about to start. Thank you Kompetenzzentrum Kultur- und Kreativwirtschaft des Bundes for hosting the 8th Creative Lab, this time focussing on Cross Innovation. In order to tackle the waste problem of today and resource scarcity of tomorrow, cross-industrial collaboration is a key approach. Because One persons waste is another persons treasure.

A new enlightening episode of the Handelsblatt Disrupt podcast with Sebastian Matthes interviewing Yuval Noah Harari (The podcast is in English). Fits in perfectly with the crazy state of the world between AI everywhere, Musk's robots and Trump's divisive politics. The two discuss where we go from here - interesting thoughts, but not much cause for optimism. Here are a few quotes from Harari: „I read many times in history books about societies that destroy themselves, about societies that are taken over by these mass delusions and mass psychosis. But then to find myself living, actually living inside such a process, this is really terrifying.“ „It's very, very simple. If you have order and you attack this order and you don't put anything in its place, what you get is chaos. It's as simple as that. And we now have chaos agents in more and more areas around the world.“ „The few AI superpowers, they will have the ability to conquer and exploit the rest of the world in a different way. You know, in the 19th century, to dominate a colony, you needed to send in the soldiers. Now, to dominate a colony, you need to take out the data. If you control the digital infrastructure of a country and if you collect all the information on the people in that country and you also control their attention, you control that country. Imagine a situation in 20 years when somebody in China or in the US has the entire personal records, medical records, every joke people ever told, every medical test they did, every Love affair they had throughout their lives, of every journalist, every politician, every judge. (..) This country would be independent in theory, but in reality, just a data colony.“ „When you flood humans with too much information, they collapse. When you flood AI with a lot of information, it becomes better. So there are people in different places around the world today that say, this is now the golden age of totalitarianism. One hub, one center will decide everything.“ Sounds fun, doesn't it? 😳 Link down in the comments...

One of the biggest challenges for working parents in Germany is the lack of childcare facilities. This issue is even more pressing for skilled professionals relocating here, as they lack local support systems. These professionals often bring their highly qualified partners, both expecting to work, only to face the shock of limited daycare and after-school options for their children. And as we all in the relocation industry know, companies that support relocating families benefit long-term by improving employee retention and reducing turnover. Wouldn't it be ridiculous to expect their international workforce to live alone?! In my opinion, the German industry can do more to change this situation and create a family-friendly environment for everyone – for example, by promoting more daycare spots at their locations, advocating for better pay for childcare workers, or establishing more company-run daycares, etc. (Not new 💡, but I still want to highlight them here!) If you are looking to discuss challenges and solutions facing onboarding international professionals, do join us at „Best Practices aus unterschiedlichen (Arbeits-) Kulturen“ 📍 Hospitalhof in Stuttgart for an interesting evening on the 🗓 16.10.2024 18:30 👉🏾 Register here: https://lnkd.in/eF8Q_bRQ All are welcome!

You: Building #circular is impossible! ❌ Me: Meet #woodii ♾️ Last Friday, I attended the #klimafestival of the Heinze GmbH at #stationberlin. The WoodenValley gGmbH team (thx for the invitation) showcased that circularity is not only big words but can be reality in the building sector today. For their #cradletocradle inspired #tinyhouse woodii they only used circular, healthy materials. What I like most about it: #woodii will be used for educational purposes, eg in elementary schools, to spread the message of circularity and make it tangible even for the youngest minds in society. Still, circularity is indeed a big #challenge to many of the company representatives I talked to. Here are some learnings: 🧠 Take-back systems seem to be the gold standard. For many taking back products is only possible if we establish systems that go beyond one company. Pioneers like Tarkett prove that it’s not impossible though. Also product-as-a-service solutions could help with that but tenders need to include that possibility. 🧠 Circularity is often claimed even if that „only“ means using recycled materials. Expending a material’s lifecycle by recycling is nice, don’t get me wrong, but we need more than downcycling and slowing down waste production. 🧠 If your basic product - like rockwool - is very energy intense, companies can try to go green by using green hydrogen instead of fossils. Still, it might be better to look into alternative materials like mycelium (e.g. MycoLutions or Morgenmaterials) or wood (Akustikwerke GmbH). 🧠 Many companies I talked to (hansgrohe REGUPOL PL Polycare) have to deal with the high standards and regulations, not only by the legislator but also others like sport committees that make the use of new materials harder. The building type E could offer new ways for innovations to enter the market legally compliant. 🧠 There must be #clarity about which materials are used in products, even if these come from cooperation partners. Otherwise, full circularity is impossible. 🧠 #Monopolies in material procurement and processing make competition difficult for start-ups. 🧠 TRIQBRIQ, Polycare with #sembla, #concluto, Fundermax, ClayTec – Lehmbaustoffe and others rethink the way we are buidling walls - lets start using reusable bricks and organic materials like #straw and #clay 🧠 Circular enablers like Concular and Madaster offer the infrastructure we need for #urbanmining For a lot of the challenges implementing the #CradleToCradle design can be part of the solution. And with the #ECGT and the upcoming #GreenClaimsDirective the C2C certificate can help to prove that circularity is indeed not only a buzzword for your company.

The topic of leadership goes well beyond companies and politics - which I address in B3 - but is also highly sensitive in NGO’s from my own experience. James Crowley is THE expert on that theme, from his long NGO experience (as well as excellent consulting background). Worth reading and beyond!

Should we leave the transformation to a circular economy to voluntary, unpaid workers? 🧐 For a couple of months, we’ve been trying to secure funding for a non-profit, community-supported circular business model. Our goal? To bring share and repair infrastructure to Berlin's half-empty shopping centers, making the circular economy accessible to everyone. While we received some positive feedback and interest, Cléo Mieulet and I were surprised by this response: "Funding is unlikely as the service is offered by other providers on a voluntary basis, e.g. at repair cafés." This got me thinking: Do we really want to rely on voluntary, unpaid workers to transform from a linear to a circular economy? Or should we heavily fund those business models and nonprofits to drive this change and ensure it creates jobs people can live from? We can all agree that establishing the circular economy within our still mostly linear world is more cost-intensive and labor-intensive. As such, it requires serious investment, not just market forces. Here’s what we need: 💰 Sustainable funding: To support circular services and ensure they are viable. 🌟 Recognition of value: Acknowledging the importance of professional, funded initiatives. 🤲 Community support: Engaging and educating the public on the benefits of a circular economy. We can’t leave this transformation to chance. So here's the question: Do you have any ideas for funding opportunities? Or could a Crowdfunding campaign be the key to getting the starting capital we need? - - - - I'm a designer, strategist, and consultant.

Practical exercise in what “exponential growth” / “phase shift” / “tipping points” look like. We can’t afford NOT to act on #climatecrisis. Luckily. On 2/3 of the problem, equally we have passed #tippingpoints: economic ones - where solutions have surpassed the point of price competitiveness, scale ability and technical maturity that they can now be scaled at break neck speed. These are in particular: #BEV, #Batteries, #SolarPV, #Windpower #Renewables. They are now cheaper and superior to their fossil counterparts essentially anywhere in the world. Buckle in as we will see #fossil industries collapse in the coming two decades, as their continued operation (opex) start exceeding the levelized cost of building new (capex) near- #zerocarbon tech. Pray that we haven’t quite crossed natural tipping points in #climate and #biodiversity yet by the point we drop our total emissions…

🤦‍♂️ We have an official #public holiday 🤦‍♀️ Spend at least 40 hours a week at work say #work-#life balance, although it should be called #life-#work #balance and still don't know #why we do exactly what we do. More and more bullshit jobs, burn out, illnesses and technology. Doesn't make that much sense, does it? What really, really makes sense is what Frithjof and other scientists, including myself, believe. We can change the world of work, and we can finally think differently. New Work is a feeling, and people show other people what they are really good at. This is the core a of New Work Wave, and we will show you how to understand New Work for yourself. 🌊We can't stop the waves, but we can start surfing them. 🌊 Are you brave enough? https://lnkd.in/dQdcs4Gx Work can really be what strengthens people instead of weakening them. #labourday #newwork #newworkisafeeling ‍‍

BERlean IN Circle 𝗕𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗣𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗘𝗺𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗟𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗖𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 The Lean In evening on burnout at Scout24 SE wasn’t just informative—it was a reality check. It wasn’t the usual conversation about stress; it dove deep into what burnout looks like when it’s lived, and how we, as a society, need to do better. Fabienne opened with a clear breakdown of burnout’s stages, but what hit hardest were Kazia's and 🥙Abdo’s personal stories. They didn’t just describe burnout—they showed us what it feels like. Kazia’s analogy stuck with me: “If your leg is broken, you rest and let it heal. But with mental health, we push through until we completely break.” It made me realize how different we treat mental pain from physical pain—often ignoring it until we’re too far gone. Abdo’s story mirrored this struggle. He was deeply frightened to be seen by his work as "a broken man" who is no longer capable of handling his previous responsibilities. "You are not a broken human if you suffer from mental health issues." But what was most relieving, especially as a people leader, was Fabienne’s candid explanation of who is truly responsible for addressing burnout in organizations. It’s not just on managers or team leaders, but the responsibility of those 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗼𝗽. “The responsibility lies with the owners and shareholders because they are the ones making the key decisions. It’s their job to ensure that healthy systems are in place from day one—because healthy is sustainable, and ultimately more profitable. If the CEO doesn’t buy into it, or the shareholders don’t care, nothing will get realized that actually matters.” People leaders can do everything in their power to support their teams, but if the company’s structures and values don’t align with promoting employee well-being, change will never take root. Fabienne also pointed out that companies often treat people like machines, planning workloads as if humans can perform at 100% every day. “We are cyclical creatures,” she said. Some days we perform at our peak, and other days we need rest—it’s simply part of being human. Yet, organizations often don’t account for this natural rhythm. Budgets and capacity plans are created with the assumption that people won’t get sick or need breaks. It’s this kind of thinking that drives burnout. Julia’s moderation let the conversation breathe, creating space for the raw emotions in the room. We didn’t just talk about burnout as a concept—we felt it, and that built a deep sense of empathy. Oliver S.’s BE LIGHT Now GmbH mediation app demo was brilliant, but what touched me most was seeing him later at the train station, quietly handing out leftover food to the homeless. No big announcements—just kindness in action. It was a reminder that compassion should always have a place in our busy lives. #MentalHealth
