Tanja Kewes and Handelsblatt reporting today on our 2024 analysis of German DAX Supervisory Boards. The 14th edition of this study by Russell Reynolds Associates shows that while in its first year female representation was at 7% now 40% have been achieved. It goes without saying that an ideal board composition needs to take many other aspects into account, but all considered, DAX Supervisory Boards improved over the years - still leaving some potential to be unlocked.

🌟 Get ready for our new LinkedIn series #EinvoicingABC #ERechnungABC Lukas Hechl and I would like to take you into the world of e-invoicing, week by week exploring important terms and concepts in a digestible way. True "e-invoices" have a structured data format, making them machine-readable... allowing automated #AP approvals and payments, but also enabling tech-assisted VAT audits by the tax authorities. This is in contrast to paper and PDF invoices. In Germany from 1 January 2025, all established VAT-payers must be able to receive e-invoices for domestic purchases. Then, taking into account transitional regulations, it will be mandatory for most VAT-payers to issue e-invoices for their domestic sales from 2027. Attached you will find simple explanations of three technical terms related to e-invoicing. Today, we start with the first three letters of the alphabet. 👇 Take a look and let us know in the comments which terms you would like to learn more about! 💡 🚀 let's dive into the world of e-invoicing – we look forward to sharing this exciting journey of discovery with you! E-Invoicing – Let’s go! 🌟 #ERechnung #ERechnungABC #GrowthOpportunitiesAct #VAT #EInvoicing #Digitalization #Deloitte #onedeloitte #einvoicing #vat #germany And a bump to Florian Escherle's #PillarTwoABC, which provided an overview of the global minimum taxation topic and inspired this series.

💡 Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to act as a catalyst for a wide variety of transaction types. Particularly, generative #AI possesses the power to disrupt entities ranging from corporate giants to startups, impacting sectors and even entire industries. Although generative AI is still in its infancy, its influence on business and society is already becoming significant. AI can drive substantial cost efficiencies, create new revenue streams, open new customer channels, and both enhance and commoditize value propositions. The forthcoming AI wave will compel companies to reassess their strategies, business models, markets, and competitors. This movement is likely to generate a spectrum of transactions, from traditional mergers and acquisitions (M&A) to partnerships, alliances, and innovative relationships previously unseen. Read the complete report below.

I attended a compelling keynote speech by Peter Drucker Society Europe on the topic "𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐧 - 𝐑𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤?" 💬 The starting point of our discussion was that the #EnergyTransition poses new challenges for location policy. What needs to be done? What needs to be considered? Here is a brief overview of the topics I addressed: 👉🏼Development of CO2 Emissions in Energy Production and Consumption: We examined how CO2 emissions have evolved and what this means for future energy strategies. 👉🏼#LandingPorts - Energy-Intensive Industries: We discussed the role of landing ports in supporting energy-intensive industries and how they can adapt to new energy standards. 👉🏼#Grid Access for Electrical Energy: Ensuring reliable and equitable access to the electrical grid is crucial for the energy transition. 👉🏼Grid Access for #Hydrogen: As hydrogen becomes a key player in sustainable energy, we explored the infrastructure and policies needed to support its integration. 👉🏼Future Perspectives: We looked at the long-term outlook of the energy transition and the strategic adjustments businesses must make to thrive in this new era. These topics are not just theoretical; they are actionable insights that can guide companies through the complexities of the energy transition. Big thanks to Winfried W. Weber, Klaus Weßing and Hermann Doppler! ▶️You can watch the entire talk on YouTube: https://lnkd.in/dHDpkiHY

Exciting Developments in the Net Neutrality Debate Yesterday’s #netneutrality decision by the #FCC will surely prompt another wave of research on this topic, which I believe is the right reaction to ensure that the issue continues to be debated on scientific grounds. A recent empirical research article by Wolfgang Dr. Briglauer et al. suggests decreased fiber investments, for example. [Link to the paper: https://lnkd.in/d2VBCn7n] Christopher Yoo 's article discusses the nuances of deviations from net neutrality before EU and US laws and compares their interpretations. [Link to the paper: https://lnkd.in/dumJNs9i] I believe the policy debate on this issue is likely to continue by dissecting and addressing the welfare implications of nuanced applications of deviations from net neutrality, such as throttling and paid prioritization. For more insights, here are my previous posts on the issue. https://lnkd.in/dHiaGvCP https://lnkd.in/dWXHgk8W #netneutrality #regulation #fcc #publicpolicy #antitrust  #telecomm #internetserviceprovider #contentprovider #streaming #LinkedInDiscussion #telecom

Cooperation makes us stronger in all aspects of life, whether in business or society. At Roland Berger, we champion the power of teamwork, drawing strength from diverse cultures and languages. Individually, we can achieve success, but it's through embracing diverse perspectives, backgrounds, and talent across borders that we truly thrive. Personally, I am grateful for the enriching experiences the European Union has offered me. From international youth exchanges to lasting friendships, these experiences have broadened my horizons and deepened my understanding of different approaches. Let's nurture that spirit of cooperation and unity! Together, let's make our voices heard by voting for peace and democracy in Europe. #UseYourVote #4Europe
