And action! 🎬 … Was the motto last week while recording new videos for my KION-internal video series during IT Circle 2024 in cooperation with VOLLBILD FILM GmbH. This time, we had quite interesting tech-savy topics that contain huge potential and contribute to improving our everyday working life!   As Generative AI currently is a hot topic in our company, we recorded a video with Tim Kappel and Thomas Kuehne – our inhouse AI experts – on how our employees can include AI profitably to work on their tasks and how AI will shape the future of work at the KION Group.   Another interesting topic was vehicle development with VR glasses with my interviewees Stefan Hafner, Jan Eisenkrätzer und Steffen Andres – I didn’t even know that VR projects exist in our corporate environment before. The project is currently still in its infancy but implies enormous long-term potential to save time and money in the development process of our industrial trucks.   We also recorded an exciting video regarding our call-center solution “Genesys” with Patrik Eberwein and Randeep Assi, to shape the awareness why such a solution is necessary for us and which benefits it offers to our company. Lastly, we want to promote our KION Group IT-internal High Potential Program, which offers huge development possibilities to people with great talents, which was launched by Dominik Bachmann. Thanks to Kinga Stojda-Kątska, Deepanshu Dhamija and Aleksander Sroka for your insights into your perception of the program!   It was great fun working with all of you! Can’t wait to see the results and I feel grateful for the opportunity to work on such cool projects in my job! 🤗 #KIONGroupIT #ITCircle2024 #waytoexcellence #international #collaboration #teamwork #tech #industry #GenAI #VR #Genesys #HighPotentialProgram #videorecording #storytelling #fun

Here you point to a very important topic The distribution, something that tourist boards are usually less strong on Tha fews that work on building offers, fails in distribution or they must give in to OTA rates. Distribution is the main Topic in tourism

🔋🔌 Have you ever navigated to a charging station, only to find out, that the location wasn't quite accurate? With swarm data, we can change that! ☝🤓 Here’s how: today's navigation systems use "Points of Interest" (POIs) to guide you to a destinations. 💬 “At CARIAD, the POI Management brings together various data sources for Points of Interest, combines them with the navigation applications, and continuously updates and improves the database,” explains Volker Remuß, Product Manager, POI Management. 💡 One dedicated team focuses on "Charging Points of Interest" (cPOIs). Their accuracy can be improved with the Charging Feedback solution. This solution uses swarm data to refine the accuracy of charging stations and ensures that the POI database is always up to date. Here’s how it works: 1️⃣ When you start a charging session at a public cPOI, your vehicle shares the location to the POI Management database. 2️⃣ The Charging Feedback solution then validates the location or identifies potential improvements for the cPOI. 3️⃣ The enhanced data is merged with the existing database and updated in the system. Around 78,000 charging points locations have already been enhanced, improving the charging experience for Volkswagen, AUDI AG, Škoda Auto, CUPRA, SEAT S.A., and Porsche AG drivers! This also benefits users of our brand-specific smartphone apps, such as My Porsche and MyAudi.

Final presentation of the first day of this years Lufthansa Systems Developer Conference by two colleagues from Lufthansa’s Digital Hangar. It is all about AI today, so I was really looking forward to learn how LLMs are already being used to optimize real-life airline processes, in this case customer claims. #LufthansaSystems #LSY #LSYDeveloperConference24

🇩🇪 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐰! 🚀 The extensive overhaul of Deutsche Bahn, the energy transition, the modernization of the education system, and the reinforcement of the Bundeswehr pose massive challenges to society, politics, and the economy. In the Anglo-Saxon sphere, these are referred to as "Herculean tasks"; endeavors that can only be tackled with the deployment of "super powers." The societal discourse in the media and political forums on these "Herculean tasks" is characterized - not entirely surprisingly - by German traits. An endless stream of smarty pants, highly qualified in critical thinking, dominate the public discussion and tends to paint bleak pictures of the future (or simply nitpicks around). Risks & negativity coupled with perceived failures take center stage. Opportunities give way to respective ideologies or the infamous "German angst." The urgently needed societal consensus for a successful, gradual implementation of each transformation is drifting further away! However, we must begin the transformation now! "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." — Lao Tzu The massive change may overwhelm individuals and groups. Much needed collaboration across political and ideological boundaries is being resented. Who will articulate the vision and the opportunities that arise from a successful transformation!? Our politicians evidently cannot get this job done. Where are unbiased Leaders & Thinkers who can engage and inspire GenZs, Baby Boomers, and every generation in between!? Leadership is the need of the hour, devoid of authoritarian power fantasies or hippie romanticism! The future starts now! Time to overcome German timidity and anxiety.

Very interesting. You can see this as one of the components which is better done with focus - similar to the journey that automotive goes since 100 years - remember that Ford build an own city “Fordlandia” in Brazil to harvest rubber for the tires in absence of a delivery chain. On the other hand side- was there really a lot of innovation for CarPlay in the last years? And using MBUX Zero Layer at the moment makes it a hard battle deciding between native manufacturer software and CarPlay every ride. For sure it is a great example that it is not enough to build a mediocre software and call it “Entertainment platform strategy” - it requires own ecosystem attributes. One example is openness & standardization - how your ecosystem partners are able to integrate? As app developer it is way easier to integrate into CarPlay than into 30 automotive manufacturers. A common standard connector / API strategy agreed between the manufacturers might solve here one of the issues… Until then - having Teams meetings in the car > CarPlay; listening to Spotify > CarPlay, just have a smooth ride,…

𝗔 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. It helps your environment and yourself. On Thursday, I wanted to take the train back to Frankfurt from the customer. Once again, there was huge train chaos - this time at Cologne station. Crowds of people, all trains to Frankfurt were cancelled within seconds. The nice thing about situations like this is that you get to meet exciting people that you would not have met because of your own lifestyle and environment (half of my circle of friends are management consultants): fellow sufferers. You get new perspectives, new professional realities and have entertaining conversations. In my opinion, you should take advantage of these opportunities. Otherwise, you will be drawn into an emotional downward spiral by the unpleasant situation, get into a bad mood, and perhaps even pass it on to the people (usually direct reports/ employees) around you. This helps neither the people around you nor yourself. In my example, I met a journalist and an investor relations employee and had some very entertaining conversations. I also arrived in Frankfurt before midnight. Had I been stranded anywhere other than Frankfurt, my mood and perspective would certainly have been different. Thus, make the best of the situation. What does this mean in practical terms? 1.   Remaining flexible and looking for alternatives immediately. In this case, alternative trains that at least run in that direction. 2.   Keeping moving. In this case, covering the distance. 3.   Choosing the next best alternative. In this case, in terms of time as later trains can be cancelled. 4.   Staying hydrated. It always helps to buy something to drink a snack so that you do not get hangry. 5.   Trying to make the best of the situation. Getting to know new people. Reading a book (online) or streaming a new series if you prefer to keep to yourself. 👉 Which ones did I miss? Happy Saturday! ⬇️ Save this for later. 📧 Send this post to a friend. ❤️ Follow me for more tips. #leadership #leader #femaleleadership #mitarbeiterführung

Do you need to design a software product or service and get it quick on production to get real user feedback? Additionally you need to keep your infra costs on prem or in the cloud under control, scale up&down on demand, automate whole ci and cd to let your people do more important work, satisfy your ITSec with regular and ondemand reporting about the security vulnerabilities, get all that stuff signed, auditable, and observable also giving your dozens of dev teams freedom of tech stack choice, independency and some fun at work? I forgot to add that if all is burned to the ground you can restore it from your repo in very easy way on another infrastructure of your choice... Then ask Jordi Olivé Calderón or Cansu Kavılı Örnek or me from #RedHat how to start the adventure. #people #process # technolog #automation #openshift #gitops #opensource.

Dear MüWü Dr. Michael Müller-Wünsch, fellow 𝐂𝐈𝐎s. First of all, I wish everyone impacted a speedy restoration of operational capabilities. I do disagree with the below post. Discussions we must have now are around 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐝 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐲 𝐑𝐢𝐬𝐤 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 and 𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞. Technology is ubiquitous, and 𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐫 𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 is not really of relevance here. A server in Germany (pick your layer and location!) will not protect any of us from outages nor from disruptions. ⚡️Lest not forget. No tech is infallible, and it is in our power to facilitate informed decisions around 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞, 𝐂𝐨𝐬𝐭 and 𝐑𝐢𝐬𝐤 related to 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲.
