Did you know that bathrooms and showers – particularly in shared spaces – are a veritable breeding ground for pathogen, some of which we see in the form of mold and the build-up of toxic bio films on surfaces. Body fats and soap scums provide a rich food sauce for micro-organisms such as airborne bacteria Serratia Marcescens, which thrive in humid conditions. We know that people with weakened immune systems are so much more vulnerable to the illnesses associated with infection and let's face it, none of us go into the shower with an expectation that we might get sick. So how do we keep those shower walls clean? Well let's think big – BIG TILES. Porcelanosa have developed XXL Hygienic Ceramic Tiles that are 5 feet long - which means just one piece fits the wall of a shower or tub surround. XTONE Porcelain slabs are 10 feet high which means a floor to ceiling surface with no joints. Why does this matter? Well hygienic glaze will not harbor pathogen and surface impurities are easily removed to prevent build up – it is reassuring to know the evidence - INTERNATONAL STANDARDS Test ISO 10545 - Resistance to Stains -  has determined these surfaces can be easily cleaned and the most difficult contaminants washed away, greatly reducing the need for aggressive chemicals. Think about this. When we unload our dishwasher our ceramic tableware is sparkling clean, sanitized and fresh to use - again and again. The principle is the same with large ceramic walls - So, when planning the shower surrounds for your facilities please reach out to Porcelanosa. The designer in you will love the incredible options and your specification will deliver the longest & best lifecycle value bar none.

Duurzaamheid is een thema dat niet meer is weg te denken. Ook binnen de – internationale - wereld van de fiscalist. Wereldwijd wordt gewerkt de Sustainable Development Goals en in EU-verband is er de ESG-richtlijn die niet alleen van invloed is op de fiscaliteit, maar ook vraagt om meer transparantie. Daarnaast is in Nederland door VNO-NCW de Taks Governance Code opgezet, met als doel meer inzicht te geven in de belastingstrategie van grote internationale ondernemingen en wat zij betalen in de landen waar ze actief zijn. Maar daarbij zien we ook een verschuiving van het (internationale) auditplichtige kader naar het MKB. En dus is van belang ook déze ontwikkeling onder de loep te nemen in een RB Podcast. Samen met Arjan Mulders, jurist en fiscalist, Associate Partner bij Newtone, lid van de RB Commissie internationaal en verbonden aan de fiscale faculteit aan de Universiteit van Tilburg. In gesprek met Sylvester Schenk, de directeur fiscale zaken van het RB en de vaste host van de RB Podcast.Regelmatige luisteraar van de RB Podcast?

Welcome back to the Alt Goes Mainstream podcast.Today's episode is with a founder who is building mission-critical software for private equity firms.I sat down in Citywire's London studio with Venkat Subramaniam, the Co-Founder of DealsPlus, to discuss why he has built a digital solution to streamline, digitize, and automate the management of complex holding and capital structures for private equity firms.Historically, private equity firms have relied on humans and manual processes to manage and track cap tables, transactions, and entities. This process has required significant human intervention and has often been rife with errors, making deals harder to consummate and transactions. Venkat has taken his 15 years of experience advising private equity managers on cross-border transactions, most recently as an Associate Partner at EY UK, to build DealsPlus to create a single source of truth for capital structures for private equity firms. DealsPlus works with a number of industry-leading private equity firms and is backed by a private equity firm with $38B in AUM.Venkat and I had a fascinating conversation about the challenges private equity firms face with managing and tracking transactions and portfolio companies. We discussed:Why it's been so hard to create a cap table management solution for private equity.Why it's much harder to build software for private equity firms than venture capital firms.How private markets can move from the Excel Age to the Digital Age.How to build software that provides a single source of truth.The atomic unit of value in private markets.Building an end-to-end platform versus building a point solution.What's next in post-investment ops tech innovation?Thanks Venkat for coming on the show to share your thoughts and wisdom on private markets tech.A word from AGM podcast sponsor, Ultimus Fund SolutionsThis episode of Alt Goes Mainstream is brought to you by Ultimus Fund Solutions, a leading full-service fund administrator for asset managers in private and public markets.

In this episode of the SaaS Revolution Show our host Alex Theuma is joined by Marton Medveczky, Associate Partner at Flashpoint Venture Capital, who shares what exactly makes a founder investable in 2025. "There is always a huge difference between talking to the founder and then doing your own desktop research versus talking to a customer. So if you can do that, that's basically the best way to understand what people value about the product. And it also will help you to draw further conclusions about where to look or, like, what is actually the real paper that it solves. And oftentimes it's actually not what the founders think it is, right? Which is very funny, I think. And that's why customer calls are sort of like a super vital component for us to invest." Marton shares: • The key characteristics he looks for in a founder before investing • Nailing value propositions and pain points: the one thing founders *need* to be doing • What the next 12 months look like and if fewer companies are moving into venture • How his initial VC journey started versus what it looks like now • Winning the market and becoming a category leader: what can SaaS companies do to succeed? • Why net revenue retention is the most important metric and more!

Many of the buildings in the UK are classified legally as ‘listed' – which means they're legally protected due to their historic or architectural significance. Managing, preserving and improving these listed buildings requires adherence to strict regulations surrounding something called LBC (Listed Building Consent). Thomas Blake, Partner at Fisher German, is joined by Scott O'Dell, Associate Partner at Fisher German and guest Hannah Hamilton-Rutter, Heritage Director at Marrons, to explore the unique set of challenges and complexities that listed buildings can present for owners, sellers and developers. Hannah and Scott discuss the importance of talking with local authorities before applying for planning permission to handle challenges better and build good relationships with conservation officers. How do government policies and economic factors affect listed buildings? Where should property owners go to get the best advice? What's the best use of a heritage property to ensure its long-term maintenance and preservation? Listen to find out.

Amir Kassaeis Geschichte startet in den Minenfeldern des Irak-Iran-Kriegs: Nach 18 Monaten an der Front macht sich der 15-jährige ganz allein auf den Weg über die Türkei nach Österreich. Mit viel Einsatz und – wie er selbst sagt – „deutschen“ Tugenden lernt er innerhalb von vier Monaten Deutsch, macht sein Abitur und geht zum BWL-Studium nach Frankreich. Es folgt eine Bilderbuchkarriere in der Werbewelt in der er auch zum Enfant terrible wird. Über drei Jahrzehnte in der Branche wird er nicht nur Chief Creative Officer und Associate Partner bei DBB Deutschland und DBB Worldwide mit über 14.000 Mitarbeitern, sondern räumt auch mehr als 2.000 nationale und internationale Werbepreise ab und verwaltet die richtig großen Budgets. In seiner Autobiographie "Vom Unsinn des Lebens" blickt er nun auf diese Zeit zurück und inspiriert uns Leser zu einem selbstbestimmten Leben entgegen aller äußeren Umstände. In dieser Folge sprachen wir unter anderem über: • einen sehr prägenden Moment während der Zivildienszeit • Amirs unglaublichen Weg vom Kindersoldaten bis hin zum Kreativchef von DDB Worldwide • warum wir Risiken in Kauf nehmen sollten, wenn wir an uns / unsere Ideen glauben • warum es ihm immer egal war, was andere von ihm denken • Sicherheit versus Risiko • seine Kritik an der Werbebranche • was er über den Trend von Nachhaltigkeits-Labels bei Agenturen denkt • wie es für ihn war, die Reissleine zu ziehen und aus der Branche auszusteigen • seinen Weg der Persönlichkeitsentwicklung • warum wir jeden Tag aus der Perspektive eines Kindes leben sollten • die Entwicklung, dass Personen des öffentlichen Lebens kaum noch anecken • über den Mythos des Self-Made Man und vieles mehr...

Today, I am pleased to welcome Peter Vogel, Professor of Family Business and Entrepreneurship and holder of the Debiopharm Chair for Family Philanthropy at IMD Business School in Lausanne, Switzerland. He is also the Director of the Global Family Business Center and the Global Family Business Award and founder and Chairman of Delta Venture Partners and an Associate Partner of the Cambridge Family Enterprise Group. Peter works with families, owners, boards, and executives of family enterprises and family offices around the world, focusing on transformations, governance, ownership and leadership succession, entrepreneurship, wealth management, and establishing professional boards and leadership teams. Peter has dedicated his distinguished career to serving multigenerational enterprise families and he shares some of the major themes and most common challenges that families are facing, both historically and right now. Peter is the author of two celebrated books: Family Philanthropy Navigator and the recently published Family Office Navigator. He describes the purpose behind these books and how they are addressing the challenges confronting enterprising families today. For multigenerational families focused on either creating or operating their family office, Peter offers some of the practical tools and frameworks detailed in his new book. He unpacks the “Five Stone Model,” which is introduced early in the book, and explains the concept behind this model and how families should think about or apply it to their family enterprises. He also outlines the “Family Office Strategy House” framework, which serves as the backbone of several highly instructive chapters of his book, and delves into the practical aspects of this framework, covering what its uses are and how families and family office executives can utilize it to organize their thinking, design, and planning related to their family office. This is a must-hear conversation with one of the world's most renowned academics, practitioners, and thought leaders in the family business and family office space.

A majority of organizations are facing challenges to industrialize and scale, with data being one of the biggest inhibitors. Organizations need to strengthen their data foundations given that among leading organizations, 72% noted managing data among the top challenges preventing them from scaling impact.

Phil Kirschner, Senior Expert and Associate Partner, Real Estate & People and Organizational Performance at McKinsey where he advises executive teams on the future of work, employee experience, organizational health, and workplace strategies. Phil discusses systemic changes, expected rebounds in cities' commercial real estate, and organizational health. He shares insights about workplace utilization, the critical emphasis on ‘how' we work and change management to evolve behaviors, and the new retail-oriented perception of work. KEY TAKEAWAYS   [02:25] Phil calls himself an accidental work strategist, starting out in banking.   [03:37] Phil starts in the efficiency management group looking to save money in real estate.   [04:40] How workplace innovation by Google and Microsoft caught public attention.   [05:23] Competition for talent from other industries drives investment to improve work ‘place'.   [06:30] Balancing not having your own desk with other amenities to improve the experience.   [08:06] Trying to reduce office-based friction with shared environments.   [09:00] Most managers absorbed a bit more pain to give team members a better experience.   [10:00] The loss factor and importance of change management to establish new behaviors.   [11:32] Where managers set the example carefully, the highest satisfaction is reported.   [14:02] These are not real estate projects, but culture projects—requiring a cultural shift.   [16:21] Ten years ago, productivity at the bank was measured through self-attestation and surveys.   [17:00] Team dynamics, people's ability to focus, and overall engagement all increased significantly.   [19:57] McKinsey's Organizational Health Framework and Index helps analyze work practices and how these tie to performance.   [21:04] Studying fully remote companies to isolate specific variables, Phil finds them to be top decile performers.   [23:20] Organizational practice surveys show if you give someone flexibility, they are much more likely to report positive outcomes for the organization.   [25:25] You have to teach people how to use new environments and tools differently.   [27:15] The four ways companies are showing up in the world nowadays.   [28:35] Building facilities for very specific purposes rather than trying to solve all needs all the time.   [30:10] Clearly defining the purposes of a workspace unlocks better outcomes.   [32:37] Progressive companies with flexible hybrid policies are working hard to figure out how to adapt fully to all the new ways of working.   [36:45] Most companies need to be focusing on ways of working and responsive spaces.   [40:27] Technology is undoubtedly driving the change in how we work, Phil touches on how AI may change this further.   [44:22] Phil explains the increasing retail nature of our work choices and some of the implications of this when it comes to competition.   [46:56] The HR/IT/Real Estate stool now needs a seat to bridge the gap in employee and customer experience.   [51:10] RTO is not sustainable; Phil explains why and what RTO focused companies can expect.   [55:47] Phil breaks down what commercial real estate issues and positive trends to watch for in the coming years.   [59:05] IMMEDIATE ACTION TIP: Stop thinking about inputs, the days in the office, or “what's the right hybrid?” Focus on outputs and the impact on organizational health. Study work practices and outcomes across your organization based on how people work and collaborate to figure out the secret sauce, then pilot, test, learn, and scale those behaviors, and keep evolving.     RESOURCES   Phil Kirschner on LinkedIn McKinsey.com     QUOTES (edited)   "Those work environments with the bean bags, the beautiful amenities, and the campus also have a desk for each employee. We didn't have the means for that, so to give you a better experience, you had to make a trade with us: give up your assigned seat."   "We found that where you had the managers who were willing to be sitting in the open having calls or conversations in the open, those zones by far were the ones where people would report the highest satisfaction."   "These are not real estate projects, they are change projects. They are culture projects that happen to manifest in space."   "When you've created a culture where lots of work can happen in the open, it eases demand for the formal spaces."   "Fully remote companies that have never had an office, who were born remote and not forcibly remote are top quartile, if not top decile performers against McKinsey's 20-year experience of measuring Organizational Health."   "If you give someone a choice in where they work, either in the office or home or when they're working their hours, we find that they're about one and a half times as likely to report positive outcomes for the organization."   "I am fully a believer that the ways of working are far more powerful as a tool for organizational performance and experience than where we happen to be working. And I wish I knew that 10 years ago."   "For a city like New York, we have to make it compelling and affordable for people to want to live here, even if they're not working for someone who is here."   "I will go back for experiences that I enjoy, back to the same restaurant, same bar, same shows. We like that our customers are repeat customers. We can be repeat workers, and that's going to be a huge unlock in the coming years."   "Changing the way we work is hard, no matter the best tools in the world. It's still hand-to-hand combat group by group, culture by culture, process by process. It's hard, so instead of doing the hard thing, we do the easy thing and there is a call to all go back to the office."
