#eu 🇪🇺#leaders 🦁♥️🌹Karsten vom Bruch Dr. Thomas Steinmüller Robert Habeck The german autoindustry is in the stage of the german coal mining industry in th 1970ies. A 100% transformation is required. Helmut Baumgarten would have seen and led it. #innovation #dsceglobal Political instruments can support this change but it needs leaders to lead the change. Strategies: The German Economy needs to change in value creation from individual technology extrems to society mobility innovations German industries need to rebuild infrastructure and productoffering to life value creating offers. German Industries need to become global industries in life value creating mobility Examples: Small semi automatic BEVs for 150 km distance ins sharing mode. Systems, solutions not individual oversized autos Infrastructure cross border solutions from Rome to Berlin and Berlin to Paris. No different license plates, trains or border checks, no different roads, integrates mobility solutions, better than Waze. Renewed fashion with integrated production and return digitized mobile solutions. The future is bright if do not allow to dictate the future by #dt or #elonmusk

The future starts here…..follow the progress of Roland….Think about it …projecting education through facial recognition, provide more efficient charge rates, add charging activity through image recognition and provide incentive programs through intelligent EV charging….EV charging stations will become more intelligent

I still consider this my best contribution to Knowledge Centered Service and the knowledge management general discourse. It's also a summary of my knowledge management experience in general. If your self-service portal is not working as you'd like it, but you have no resources to run an actual assessment, you can put this in your powerpoint and it will be accurate in ~85% of cases (not statistically validated).

The latest AllBright Report shows notable progress in gender diversity within Germany's 100 largest family companies. 🎉 In a significant shift, the representation of women in leadership roles is increasing. Although the current proportion stands at 12.6%, change is underway. Over the past two years, the proportion of women in executive positions has grown by 4 percentage points, nearly matching the growth seen in listed companies. Interestingly, nearly half of family businesses now include a woman in their management teams, a significant increase from just under a third two years ago. Yet, there's a stark difference between listed and non-listed family businesses. The proportion of women in leadership roles is almost double in listed companies (19.6%) compared to non-listed ones (10.6%). This suggests that transparency and external influence can drive gender diversity in management. Let's not overlook the fact that succession still remains male-dominated, particularly within owner families. However, as the Baby Boomer generation begins to retire, there's a golden opportunity for companies to diversify their leadership. Change is happening, and some companies are already leading the way. Let's keep this momentum going! For more detailed insights, check out the full #AllBright Report #genderdiversity #womeninleadership #changemakers

Don't trust any statistics that you haven't faked yourself. Angelika Niebler throws around numbers to spread panic. According to her figures, 14 million people work in the automotive industry (worldwide? Europe-wide? Germany-wide?). It's a myth spread by lobbyists that one in seven jobs depends on cars. Politicians seem to count as well registration offices, car insurance companies, janitors, maybe catering, traffic police and whatever else to coin a specific narrative. There are around 45 million employed people in Germany. If one in seven were employed in the automotive industry, that would have to be more than six and a half million. Source Statista: https://lnkd.in/ekGqRRGi In 2023, the number of employees in the german automotive supply industry was around 273,500. https://lnkd.in/eUFvN3iK After three years of continuous decline, in 2023 there were more employees in the automotive industry than in the previous year for the first time in Germany. However, with around 779,700 employees, the number only rose slightly. Even the BMWK website has the Statista figures: https://lnkd.in/ekTEmduB Across Europe, 2.4 million people work directly for OEMs and around 674,000 work indirectly for automotive suppliers. So where do you all find these numbers? In Kinder surprise?

The whole #cariad case shows beautifully that if you can’t build software in-house you probably can’t outsource it. If you can’t build up a software organization and unleash its potential within our software focused world. You probably can’t create a company that does it. Especially if you hard wire it to the incapable structures within the parent company.

It’s all about the data. As we move further into electrification and vehicles become part of not only our transport, but also our energy networks as both loads and generators, it’s all about managing the hardware according to specific consumer behaviour patterns. We have the duck curve, we have the traffic jams, so we know when the bulk of us drive, work and use our power at home. Data will help us to automate many of the control process which in turn optimise both price and availability of both electricity and/or transport according to demand. And sure, let’s bring in some advanced driver assistance and autonomy for the safety, optimisation and convenience of passenger transport as well. ⚡️⚡️🚗

Today we present another episode of our interview series "Mein Einstieg bei der PEC". Our colleague Michael from Detroit would like to give you some insights about his start at PEC. 😊 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗘𝗖? I was immediately impressed by the camaraderie among the team. There is shared sentiment that your challenges are our challenges, and everyone is willing and wanting to help each other in any way they can. 👏 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗳 𝘀𝗼, 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻? I was lucky enough to attend PEC’s yearly Summer Event shortly after joining the company. We traveled to Germany to network with our oversea colleagues and discuss the company vision. That trip was not only a great way to travel, meet people, and experience new cultures, but it was the most fun I’ve had at a work event ever. 🙌 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗣𝗘𝗖 𝘀𝗼 𝗳𝗮𝗿? Definitely the Summer Event, but that’s not fair to compare with the other great PEC activities. I enjoy the weekly meetings we have for PEC employees consulting at the same location. We can share knowledge, talk about the challenges of our projects, and just get to know each other better. 🚀 Thank you Michael for your insights! 😊 #startyourcareer #career #newjob #pec #bepartoftheteam #jointheteam #jetztbewerben #wearehiring #consulting #beruflichezukunft #workatpec

❗ Schaeffler and Vitesco have merged to become one of the largest automotive suppliers in the world 🔎 A few days ago, this news dominated the business press. Schaeffler has stated that the merger creates a company that is fit for the future and makes sense for all stakeholders, including suppliers, customers and employees. Schaeffler is investing in e-mobility without giving up its traditional business with combustion engines, and thereby wants to be flexible to respond to further developments in the automotive industry. In addition, the rise from the S-Dax to the M-Dax is a defined goal. 💡 However, what is required from a legal point of view to carry out a merger? The law inter alia provides for the possibility of a merger by way of absorption, through the transfer of the assets of the legal entity being acquired to the acquiring legal entity, whereby shares in the acquiring legal entity are allotted to the shareholders of the legal entity being acquired. To do this, the acquiring legal entity must resolve a capital increase and use these new shares for the exchange. The general meeting of Schaeffler on 25 April 2024 resolved and hereafter executed the share capital increase to carry out the merger. A merger then generally follows four steps: 1️⃣ The participating legal entities conclude a merger agreement in the form of a notarial deed. It obliges the parties to transfer their assets or to grant shares as consideration for this. Schaeffler and Vitesco concluded the merger agreement on 13 March 2024. 2️⃣ All participating legal entities must provide a detailed written report explaining the merger in detail from both a legal and an economic perspective, including the exchange ratio of the shares. 3️⃣ The approval of the shareholders of the parties is required for the merger agreement to be effective. The approval resolution of the Vitesco general meeting took place on 24 April 2024, and that of Schaeffler on 25 April 2024. 4️⃣ The decisive step for the merger is the entry of the merger in the commercial register. It takes place first with the legal entity being acquired, then with the acquiring legal entity. The entry at Vitesco occurred on 10 September 2024, and at Schaeffler on 1 October 2024 which made the merger effective. ✔️ With effectiveness, inter alia the assets of the legal entity being acquired, including contractual obligations, and all liabilities pass to the acquiring legal entity, the legal entity being acquired ceases to exist, and the shareholders of the legal entity being acquired receive shares in the acquiring legal entity. Schaeffler now holds the assets and liabilities of Vitesco which ceased to exist and the former shareholders of Vitesco now hold shares in Schaeffler. 📚 Connect for more professional insights on M&A and other legal content.

I read the translation but this is a very interesting case study on what contributes to double productivity. “Waste is everything that does not add value” is a nice primer to have on top of strategy.

FLUSS – a few days ago on Bahnhofstrasse 62? As we all know, everything is in a state of flow today, but is Bahnhofstrasse also in flux? Well, it always has been, and it still flows beneath Bahnhofstrasse. Did you know that Bahnhofstrasse between the main station and Paradeplatz used to be divided by the Fröschengraben? In 1854, this ditch was filled in, and the water had to continue flowing underground. But are the shops on Bahnhofstrasse in a state of flow today? I once learned that only dead fish go with the flow without resistance. For people, we might call this the comfort zone—a convenient way to muddle through and blend in with the crowd. This is not the case with Genesis. For our entry into the Swiss market, we have devised a unique sales structure that not only includes Genesis Personal Assistants (GPAs) for the personal care of our customers but also creates proximity to our customers in Switzerland through an impressive network of 5-star partner hotels. We are developing this solely with one goal in mind: to create customer experiences that preserve your most precious luxury—TIME!

Great to see that Siemens’ factories are our own reference case when it comes to the power of the digital twin. Nothing demonstrates the benefits of digital transformation better than numbers that positively impact your balance sheet.
