Beside my passion for driving operational excellence through deployment of our technologies (for our customers, but equally within our own operations), one of my other passions is cars. It is wonderful when both passions come together as in this example: In 2004, our team at Siemens Digital Industries Software started a technology partnership with Oracle Red Bull Racing & Red Bull Technology, providing their engineers with the digital tools to turn ideas into reality faster, to adapt and stay agile. This can make the difference between winning and losing, in Formula One™ and beyond. For 20 years, the digital backbone has helped to push limits season after season. From a newcomer (I remember the RB1 well) to a Formula One™ powerhouse – what a ride on the track in engineering, manufacturing, and efficiency! Whether it is using digital twin technology to transform car designs overnight, Teamcenter software to manage 10,000 unique car parts for optimal configuration, or generative design in NX to reduce design cycles from weeks to days – with the right vision, technology, talent, and teams, it’s possible to go far – and fast!

December 3rd is more than a date—it’s a call to action. The International Day of Persons with Disabilities challenges us to reflect, learn, and act toward creating a more inclusive world. At Siemens, diversity goes beyond recognizing differences, its also about embracing them as a source of strength and innovation.   I truly believe true inclusion isn’t achieved overnight, but built through small, purposeful actions. Championing accessibility, fostering equity, and nurturing a culture of belonging are steps we can all take. Each one of us has the power to contribute to this transformation. For me everybody with a disability is a hero, most of them are unsung heros and I want to applaud them here.   I encourage you to reflect today on how you can make your workplace more inclusive and accessible. Share your thoughts, support your colleagues, and be a catalyst for positive change.   Together, let’s learn from one another, and build a future where everyone belongs.   #AccessibilityForAll #TeamSiemens

New Year’s Greetings and Thoughts on Germany’s 2025 Federal Election As we step into the new year, we face great opportunities but also significant challenges. In February 2025, Germany will elect a new Bundestag—a critical moment for our democracy, our economy, and our future. As someone who closely observes economic developments, I see a strong connection between political stability and economic success. Democracy forms the foundation for innovation, fair competition, and long-term growth. However, election campaigns often test the resilience of democratic processes. Election Campaigns in the Age of Social Media The past years have shown us how social media can influence political opinion—for better or worse. But where do we draw the line when platform owners interfere in political processes? When economic interests and personal agendas impact democratic elections? Other democracies have experienced the destabilizing effects of disinformation and unfair campaigning. Germany must learn from these examples and remain vigilant. The 2025 federal election will reveal how well we are prepared to counter such influences. As business leaders and stakeholders, it is our responsibility to be especially attentive during this time. The Role of Business in Protecting Democracy Our economic environment is closely tied to political stability. That’s why I appeal to everyone shaping our economy: Let’s foster an environment based on fairness and competition, while safeguarding democratic values. Extremism—whether on the right or left—weakens our country and undermines our economic competitiveness. Established political parties already offer a broad spectrum of perspectives. It is up to them to define this space clearly and strengthen the political center. As Franz Josef Strauß famously said in 1987: “There must be no democratically legitimate party to the right of the CDU/CSU.” To this, I add: There must also be no room for left-wing radicalism. Now is the time to create clear profiles and put an end to ego-driven power plays. My Vision for 2025 Germany needs the courage to embrace change and the strength to focus on what truly matters: building a strong, stable, and democratic foundation for economic success. Each of us can contribute to this—as voters, as entrepreneurs, as leaders. Let us stay vigilant, question critically, and stand up for the values that define both our democracy and our economy. Long-term success starts with responsibility in the here and now. Wishing everyone a successful and healthy New Year!

🚀Increased revenue, lower operating costs, better customer satisfaction! Companies need to constantly transform to remain competitive and seize new business opportunities. How does #Siemens GBS enable our customers to accelerate their business transformation? As a global business service provider, we are focused on increasing productivity and generating value for the customers. We approach this from two perspectives. First, we drive productivity by performing our services more efficiently, which means for customers stable costs or below the input price development. Secondly, we create value by helping customers reduce their costs or optimize their assets. Let me dive deeper into productivity with the help of three examples: ➡️Digitalization & Automation: Our GBS organization delivers continuously high productivity gains through digitalization and automation with innovative technologies, like GenAI, far exceeding mere offset of inflation. This year alone, the genAI team at Siemens GBS developed 50 use cases and evaluated over 100 applications. ➡️International Footprint: Based on regular activity-split analyses, we are able to distribute further activities in our global delivery network, which means access to a more diverse talent pool. ➡️Value-Added Services: We are continuously expanding beyond transactional tasks to provide increasingly value-added services, like business consultancy or advanced analytics. Where do you see the highest potential for increasing productivity in your environment? #ValueCreation, #Productivity, #Digitalization

This week I had the pleasure to speak at the Mannheim Business School in a learning session with #MBA students. Thank you, Armin Heinzl, Prof. Dr. for hosting me!  We discussed three key questions and priorities for @Schneider Electric in the digital age: 1. How can we leverage digital #platforming and network effects to create value for our customers and partners? 2. How can we accelerate the energy transition and empower the rise of #prosumers, who both consume and produce energy? 3. How can we provision #AI sustainably in data centers, today and in the future? I was impressed by the curiosity, engagement, and all the thoughtful questions. Now, let me ask all of you a question: Which of these 3 topics do you find most interesting and why? Looking forward to your comments!

Entrepreneurship … … is sometimes also about working hard “in the trenches”. 😉 It was great being at Technical University of Munich Entrepreneurship Day (again). I did not only learn, that about 80 startups are founded every year within the TUM #ecosystem, but also that this makes TUM the largest B2B start-up hub in Germany! Of course, I took the opportunity to talk with Sebastian Wann Luca Fabiano Abdullah Ghazi from Muniqo Performante. Actually, they are now in a crucial phase. They passed the ideation phase and are leaving the trenches by validating their concept with customers. This includes not only technical questions, but even more importantly the #businessmodel and go-to-market. Results are really promising. 😀 BTW: Here is, what they are doing: Based their advanced technology, they are offering active damper systems (in contrast to classic passive systems), Besides much higher precision and speed, this allows for real-time data collection, which is of the essence for application e.g. in mobility and production.

Our plants and subsidiaries in India show an impressive development in using #AI (artificial intelligence) and #digitalization:   The Bosch Mobility plant in #Bidadi developed an AI-based camera system for the final optical inspection of CP4 pumps. Furthermore they grew impressively in their Lean Management Maturity, demonstrating convincing problem-solving skills within their Daily Shopfloor Management. Mobility Aftermarket and Mobility Electronic plants in #Naganathapura efficiently introduced digital AOI (automated optical inspection) solutions. With this they detect deviations in manufacturing processes and quality. Productivity projects in Bosch Global Software Technologies (BGSW) are focusing on automated coding as well as automation of the test processes, demonstrating substantial gains in time-to-market and cost efficiency while upgrading to new platforms.    The opportunities for local cooperation between plants and BGSW are impressive and the teams are eager to embrace #GenAI potentials as the next disruptive game changer.

How a smart approach to change management enables leadership by influencing As of this month, an internal expert for process standardization team has joined my team: Florian Kissel. He has a strong background in process mining and will drive process standardization for Global Business Support and beyond. Through his innovative approach to change management, he has already built a sizable number of followers across all functions who are ready to collaborate on process mining. So what are his tricks of the trade? · First question that gets addressed with his colleagues is “What´s in it for me?” In a recent initiative on duplicate vendor invoice checking, he explained to the Global Process Owner Purchase to Pay that this would help to prevent incorrect vendor payments and avoid the follow-on work of reversing them · Throughout the projects, he provides proactive support to all colleagues, so they feel well taken care of · With any avoided duplicate payment, the AP clerks can see their contribution to value realization immediately in SAP. Typically, he lets his colleagues sell such visible value realization as their success to upper management No wonder that the GPO P2P is ready for more collaboration, and we are currently building a plan for further rollout of this initiative across the company!
