💡 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.

Setting the PACE – Pushing boundaries with our successful SAP transformation in finance and procurement at Porsche As part of the PACE project (Procurement, Accounting, Controlling, Excellence), we at MHP – A Porsche Company have raised the finance and procurement processes to a new level together with Porsche AG. With the introduction of SAP S/4HANA, we were able to significantly improve data quality, streamline processes and create a platform that supports Porsche in reacting flexibly to new market requirements. The complexity of the project lay primarily in the integration of numerous systems that are essential for the finance department. The positive impact is reflected in the results: standardized data sources, transparent processes and a noticeable increase in efficiency in daily workflows. The finance department is now future-ready and in the best position to actively contributing to Porsche's future success. I’m proud to say: The PACE project is proof of how innovative technologies can turn finance into a strategic driver of business success. https://lnkd.in/esuDfmYS

💡💡💡It would be so convenient if every bank would automatically pull the invoice from the merchant and add it to the digital bank statement. Accounting and even personal tax declaration would become a paperless bliss 🥰. I like that Germany is taking steps towards this, i.e. by creating opportunities for semi-banks and payment tools (like Moss and Spendesk) to add value to businesses already. Also - great summary Dr. V! & Moss 👍👍👍

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.

„Doing the right thing even if no-one is looking“ - that is a good definition of #integrity. How to improve your skills to be able to do so is one of many questions to be answered for a good corporate culture. It was a pleasure to share my experience and thoughts about it with some distance in this podcast. Thanks #BCG and Dr. Katharina Hefter for the opportunity.

Great thoughts on how to balance multiple target dimensions when realigning operations and (re)-building production sites. Nowadays investments and operating costs run beside resilience, ESG, digitization requirements. Finding the synergies to make conflicting targets into self-reinforcing ones needs a holistic approach!

🌟 Let's continue with the "E-Invoice ABC" – explained in a nutshell! In the appendix you will find the simply explained definitions of three technical terms for e-invoicing. Today we explain 3 important terms beginning with the letters D, E and F (in German :)) . 👇 The e-invoice is an invoice that, unlike the paper invoice, is based on a structured data format to make it machine-readable. From 1 January 2025, all companies in Germany must be able to receive e-invoices and – taking into account transitional regulations – also issue them themselves in the following years. Take a look and tell me in the comments which terms you would be interested in! 💡 E-invoicing – Let's go! 🌟 #ERechnung #ERechnungABC #Wachstumschancengesetz #VAT #EInvoicing #Digitalisierung #Deloitte #onedeloitte #ttc #einvoicing

Always asked myself, if I can be happy …always? As an entrepreneur you are in the natural habit of optimizing all aspects of a project so why don’t optimize your life? After many years of learning about what makes us happy, I think it is only a transient state. But maybe we can feel even better … when we are in Flow! Flow is the state of consciousness in which we forget space and time, are maximally happy, motivated and efficient. In this state, we feel our best and achieve the most. What do we need to achieve this flow? Why is it so important for founders and managers? I talk about this in the podcast with editor Elena Todeva Listen in and share your best flow moments. #flow #flowmoment #success #performance #motivation #alignment #leadership #newwork #startup #vc #entrepreneurship

🇩🇪 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲 𝗚𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆’𝘀 𝗙𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗕𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗹𝗲? 💶 Much is written about Germany’s (explicit) public debts. However, it is neglected that besides of considerable public liabilities, there are also considerable public assets. These assets could be used to finance the fiscal gap. 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗳𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘁𝘀: € 𝟲𝟴𝟴 𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 At the end of last year, the federal balance sheet showed assets of € 487 billion euros. An increase of € 44 billion since the beginning of the fiscal year 2023. Assets held by the Deutsche Bundesbank are not included. The 𝗴𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝘀 should be mentioned here in particular. The market value of gold stored in Frankfurt, New York and London amounted to almost € 201 billion at the end of last year. The federal government therefore has almost 700 billion euros in liquid funds at its disposal. 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗕𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁: 𝗡𝗼 𝗴𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 But the sale of the German gold reserves only remains a theoretical option. Deutsche Bundesbank President Joachim Nagel has already announced that no gold will be sold for solving the federal budget struggle. “Apart from small quantities for the usual collector coins, we are not selling anything,” says the central banker. “𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝘀𝘆𝗺𝗯𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲, 𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝗽𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.” In view of the long-term development of the gold price, it was right “for us to hold gold permanently”. 𝗔 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 (𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹) 𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 Even if Germany could go into debt, it depends on the 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘁𝘆 and the 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗲𝗯𝘁 whether Germany should divest of state assets or borrow money from the capital market. If Germany cannot go into debt, the trade-off remains. If the return on equity is lower than the 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 than asset stripping is an option. In the meantime, the price of gold has risen by almost 18% since the beginning of the year. If there is really a public investment opportunity that should yield a higher internal rate of return than 18% over a 6-month period, it should be possible to find funds in the regular budget. In a final step, PIVOT Public Policy & Economics will summarize all shown options in terms of 𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝘃𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 and 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 to adopt a compliant fiscal budget in 2025.
