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

#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

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.

🎨📏💡 "How can color measurement be compared to visual assessment?" As a general rule, instrumental color measurements and visual assessments should match. However, there are special cases in which instrumental color measurement is of limited use, e.g. for small samples, on small components, with unevenness of the surface, with different color mixtures, etc. We have explained this in the chapter "Material/Surfaces". On flat, flat, non-high-gloss surfaces, there should be only a slight difference between being measured by a device and the human eye. We look forward to discussing more questions and sharing insights! 🌟 #VisuelleBewertung #Farbmessung #Qualitätskontrolle

Dear battery community, In already turbulent times, we are facing global competition – especially with regard to battery technologies that enable us to achieve climate-friendly mobility and more. Shifting down a gear now would be a huge mistake that would set us back a long way in comparison with international research and development! Now is the time for our politicians to expand funding for battery research instead of restricting it. Does that mean money? Yes, of course. But being left behind would cause skills shortage, dependencies, and costs that will grow completely out of proportion. That’s why I call on the German government to change its course and invest more in our domestic battery research! Michael Krausa (Kompetenznetzwerk Lithium-Ionen-Batterien e. V. (KLiB)) Achim Kampker (PEM RWTH Aachen University, Fraunhofer-Einrichtung Forschungsfertigung Batteriezelle FFB

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

Brain fitness at it’s best 🤹‍♂️ ... #corporateinfluencing – what a great hobby 📣 My learning out of the last two years on this plattform: the main challenge is #storytelling. If you would like to be successful as a corporate influencer it is significantly guided by your talent to tell little stories 🖋 When I started to be more active here on LinkedIn it was indeed very uncertain where this journey will go to and what kind of influence this activity will have on my #personalbranding, on my #personality, on myself 🙋‍♂️ People who knowing me personally are aware about the fact that I’m a very reliable and structured person. I don’t like surprises that much - so always a proper preparation is key for me 📑 But we all know, the dance floor on this platform is something different. Surprises are self-evident and you need to learn to deal with this 🕺 The positive thing was, that I identified that the storytelling part suits me incredibly well. I neither have an issue to identify content ideas nor I have a topic to build a #story around. And along with this finding – the fun is also coming 📚 This means, that in the meantime quite frequently I’m also dealing with storytelling in my private life. Instead of a "must" it became more like a hobby. Of course, my #personalbrand is still mainly influenced by business topics as my strategy is to be seen as an expert within my business 👨‍🔧 But also, business topics could be enriched by a little story around and on top with pure authenticity 😀 What about you? Is it still hard business for you to post on #linkedin - or is it becoming more and more a hobby for you too? #filtrationambassador #linkedinbyjuergenjenner

Working with German OEMs on a Mobility (you still say Automobile) Strategy since 2008. They know since 15 years or more what they have to do: they just have to do it. The CxU has stood in the way of innovation in mobility and energy for over 16 years - transportation ministers and the VDA have torpedoed all chances of change: bringing us up to this point. And you continue to ask the wrong people for strategy, and have the wrong people to execute: and anyone aware and watching this sees that the VDA and yourself are complicit.

"Talent mobility needs to be redefined. Today, a role advertisement is more than just a full-time position for one person. It takes flexibility, understanding of projects and skills, as well as new approaches such as project-based work with freelance experts. The Future of Work calls for agile mobility and new solutions for (internal) talent development." - a great summary by Arusa Shireen Bhatti below (this quote is the translation from German). Arusa shares a portion of a panel discussion between Vidya Krishnan from Ericsson, Samantha Simmons from the LPGA, and myself, moderated by Sarah Leydon-Anand from LinkedIn from LinkedIn's #TalentConnect Show last week. Who makes up the teams working on your projects? Do they include people from other divisions and disciplines? Do they integrate external specialists filling in specific project skills needs? Your 'talent' encompasses more people now. 'Your team' can extend across and outside your organization. How are you meeting all the new skills needs on projects?
