We at Dr. Hauschka and many other entrepreneurs are waiting for the #neuerechtsform. Who else? Economy should serve people, profit should not be an end in itself. This is one of the principles at Dr. Hauschka, as founder Dr. Rudolf Hauschka was convinced that entrepreneurship is always linked to responsibility. Hence, Dr. Hauschka / WALA was transferred to a non-profit corporate foundation more than 35 years ago. Dr. Hauschka / WALA has been member of Stiftung Verantwortungseigentum (Foundation of Steward Ownership) since the beginning, supporting entrepreneurs in order to be able to secure the long-term independence of their companies without bureaucracy. 📃 There are proposals from the scientific community to the government on how this legal form could be implemented simply, without bureaucracy, and in an entrepreneurial manner – that's why we want to support and share the #neuerechtsform together with others. The #neuerechtsform provides a suitable legal basis for companies in 'steward-ownership' or 'trust ownership'. This means it... 👉guarantees a legally binding commitment of assets (profits remain within the company and are used for business development),   👉ensures entrepreneurial independence without bureaucracy, and   👉enables the transfer of ownership rights to capable successors, regardless of their financial strength and beyond the immediate family circle. ✏️ If you, as an entrepreneur, are also waiting for the #neuerechtsform support the initiative by adding your name to the waiting list: https://lnkd.in/dx2qjys5 #spreadtheword #warteliste #wirwarten #neuerechtsform #nachfolge #mittelstand #wirtschaftswende #diezukunftistjetzt #wennnichtjetztwanndann

Moin Moin. Was Geht? OMR24   A lot is going on, a lot of moving pieces – it’s exciting and fun! Answers to my question before going this year to OMR and my key take away to these: ⚡How to make best use of AI and ML? Other than the name “Artificial Intelligence” suggests, it is not intelligent, it cannot solve new problems (yet). But AI tools are extremely efficient in managing standard tasks, based on experience and data. Therefore, all indirect processes should be targeted asap: Supply Chain, Purchasing, Bookkeeping, Payroll, etc. You need these savings urgently to stay competitive. Get going. Use the Data you have. ⚡How best to manage risk and ops? It is as simple as this: The opportunity is - just f…. do it! Then you have the chance to stay in the business. The risk is - not do it or be too slow. You will lose out and get uncompetitive.   ⚡How to make your team fit for this future? Make AI a Boss Thing! Appoint an AI responsible reporting directly to you. Have an AI responsible in every department. Talk about the opportunities, give confidence that you will manage this and succeed. Invest in your people. Make them be part of something special – and driving AI within the company and for the benefit of the company if very special and very rewarding!   The key consequences for the practical work with my clients are: ✅ You need a clear objective and a road map for the next 12 months (these times you are not able to look out longer) – and then focus on max Top 3 priorities! Your resources and in particular your AI knowledge is still limited. To make a good decision you need to know where you want to be using AI in 12 months. Analyze your potential projects portfolio and decide what brings you the biggest bang for the buck $$$. Then – Focus, Focus, Focus - and - Execution, Execution, Execution! ✅ Don’t overcomplicate it – get going, get experience, learn, and adjust as you go. Speed is far more important than perfection. ✅ Be Technology open and flexible. The application you might choose today might not be there tomorrow or not the best solution for the next phase.   In addition, two hints that I liked very much: 💡Combine your Chatbots for Service, Sales, Technical Hotline etc. with ChatGPT. Significant improvements of customer satisfaction are measurable. 💡Use TikTok as a Sales Channel. For people under 30 years TikTok is already the No.1 search Engine. 53% of the users start the App with the search function. Be fast, take a risk, have fun – I am here to support you being successful for the long run!   #OMR24

Independence drives speed in #communication. Corporate and specialized PR are here to stay. However, due to the #talentshortage, #HRcommunication is becoming increasingly important, especially for companies not located in top metropolises like Berlin, Hamburg, or Munich. Martina Cohrs, Head of Press at Barmenia Versicherungen, discussed this with Mynewsdesk. Convincing #talent of the benefits of locations like Wuppertal is a long-distance run. Cohrs gladly accepts this challenge, particularly on social media. Key elements: solid arguments, speed, and frequency. And a tool that makes creating and distributing #PR content simple and straightforward. Barmenia uses Mynewsdesk because, as a #Cloud service, it makes PR work independent of their IT infrastructure, thus not adding tasks for their IT department. To maintain speed, #AI will play a role in Barmenia’s future. Its exact role is not yet defined, but internal trials are underway. Whether it's human or AI writing the PR texts, the quality must be high, and the Barmenia voice must remain recognizable. Cohrs' company is working on this.

Once again “XYZ company is THE Tesla killer”. No matter what you think of Tesla, none of the German brands can really shine. In terms of mindset, they are tin folders and exhaust sniffers. They have no idea about electrical, digital and SDV. This would require a transformation into a mobility tech company. What’s so “crass” about the numbers? 1 million since 2013 while selling a total of around 26 million vehicles, really now? This is more of an indictment. And how many are no longer usable like the 3G connected i3? While Tesla has opened a NEW market, now dominated by China, the traditional OEMs are only in the process of electrifying a portion of their sales. They are not expanding their market. Here are a few other numbers. https://lnkd.in/eacvXGnF Or here https://lnkd.in/eWEZuyfz BMW is the smallest of the three German “premiums” and has lost touch. Just the statement “E-cars look like classic BMWs” makes me laugh. If the "classic" ones become tanks like in the picture, then yes.

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

���� 𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐭 𝐚 𝐛𝐢𝐭 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲.. and just needed a break ⚡🪫🔌🔋 Since some of you already reached out in the past days asking if I'm fine - thanks for asking, I am good. 🙏 ➡ 𝐈 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐚 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚 𝐛𝐢𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐬! Being active here for 3 months daily, I not only gained in record speed almost 5k new followers through hundreds of thousands impressions, I also met so many amazing people, new customers and coachees, potential business partners and even new friends..but I also ended up investing way more energy and time than initially planned. That all made me think and wanting to share my key learnings with you: ➡ 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐩𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐧 (Investing more time and effort potentially leads to greater returns - This holds true to almost anything in life, yes, but specifically in Social Media.) ➡ 𝐃𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮  (Whenever you begin something new, some people will first laugh at you and these same exact people later then ask you how you did it - Screw them ;) ) ➡ 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 By pushing our boundaries and embracing challenges, we can achieve much more than we initially thought possible. Also, as much as LinkedIn is a damn great community, it's important to allow ourselves taking breaks from social media. This offers numerous benefits for your mental and emotional well-being. Let's remember not all the LinkedIn Guru juice is real nor healthy, so it's about finding a healthy balance that works for you and prioritizing your well-being.

50% people #BUY #THE #SAME 🚘 👁️ It is amazing to see that even the least loyal car customers buy the same #brand on average at least 50% of times. Branding is thus super #powerful in #automotive. 🔋 Also interesting to see is that most of the #German, hi-quality producers are among the least loyal customer base brands. EV cars have a bit of unfair advantage, because if you switch to electric cars mentally, there is less competing brands for EV-repurchase. But still impressive customer #retention figures from those.

I can't believe it, but it’s already been more than three years since Rolf Hermann 🤘🏻 asked me to participate in a podcast episode about Data Segmentation in Email Marketing. Listen to the episode 🎧: https://lnkd.in/eZ7q79Tg (German only). While we’re not in the midst of COVID anymore, many of the topics we discussed back in 2020 remain relevant when it comes to data management and segmentation to enhance email marketing. Agree or disagree? Also, it might have been three years already, but I remember like it was yesterday how nervous I was to speak and afraid of blurting out nonsense. It was, I believe, only the second podcast episode I ever recorded. #emailmarketing #emailstrategy #clv #segmentation #podcast #omr

🚀 Want Results? Stop Talking: The Silent Revolution in Team Workshops 🚀 I participated in a transformative workshop led by our brilliant Scale Up coach, Lorenz Hartung, at Internet Up GmbH (see video below). We delved into the critical processes within our rapidly growing company, employing the ingenious "How to Make Toast" method by Tom Wujec. Here’s a glimpse of what we did: 🔸 Silent Collaboration: For the first 30 minutes, we worked in complete silence using Post-its to outline our "Product Launch-to-Cash" process. No talking, just focused thinking and visualization. 🔸 Visualizing Processes: Each team member contributed to mapping out the entire process, identifying key touchpoints, responsibilities, gaps, and potential areas for implementing standards and checklists. 🔸 Remarkable Outcomes: The result was astonishing! Within just 40 minutes, we had a comprehensive visualization of this complex process. The silence forced us to think deeply and act decisively, leading to a level of efficiency and clarity we hadn't experienced before. The feedback from the team was unanimous: the absence of conversation was the game-changer. It drove us to action, ensuring we utilized every minute effectively. 🚀 Why You Should Try This: - Enhanced focus and productivity - Clearer understanding of processes - Rapid identification of improvement areas Curious to see how it's done? Check out Tom Wujec's video here:  Tom Wujec's Video > https://lnkd.in/e9DuvenH I can't stress enough how impactful this method was for us. If you’re looking to boost your team’s efficiency, give it a try and experience the magic of silent collaboration! 👉 Do you have any other tips for speeding up progress in team workshops?

You're right, Monika really did a great job of expressing the importance of Behavioral Elements. Behavioral Elements add depth to our understanding of the self and help us effectively navigate our relationships. Understanding the scientific principles underlying human behavior allows us to be more conscious and effective in both personal development and interactions. This understanding enables us to comprehend why people behave in certain ways, thus helping us build our relationships on a stronger foundation. Ultimately, understanding Behavioral Elements helps us better grasp the complex nature of humans and enables us to lead a more fulfilling life by applying this knowledge to our relationships and personal growth.
