Die aktuellen Automobilkurznachrichten mit Michael Weyland  Thema heute:  Die Tankstelle der Zukunft  Von der Evolution zur Revolution - eine Branche im Wandel      Letzte Ausfahrt Transformation oder auf der Überholspur zu mehr Innovation? Wie Tankstellen ihre Zukunft in einem sich wandelnden Mobilitätsökosystem sichern, hat die Management- und Technologieberatung BearingPoint in einer Studie untersucht. Die klassische Tankstelle steht vor einem tiefgreifenden Wandel. Die Untersuchung "Die Tankstelle der Zukunft" der Management- und Technologieberatung BearingPoint zeigt, wie sich das traditionelle Geschäftsmodell durch Elektromobilität, veränderte Kundenbedürfnisse und regulatorischen Druck grundlegend transformieren wird. Für die Studie wurden über 1.000 Verbraucherinnen und Verbraucher befragt und zahlreiche Experteninterviews mit Branchenvertretern geführt. Die Ergebnisse zeichnen ein klares Bild: Bis 2035 wird sich die Tankstelle evolutionär weiterentwickeln - gefolgt von einer revolutionären Umgestaltung des gesamten Konzepts ab 2040. Vom Kraftstoffverkauf zum Mobilitäts-Hub Die Tankstelle der Zukunft wird nicht mehr primär vom Kraftstoffverkauf leben. Während dieser heute noch 60 bis 70 Prozent des Umsatzes ausmacht, gewinnt das bereits heute margenträchtige Shop und Service-Geschäft zunehmend an Bedeutung. Der prognostizierte Rückgang fossiler Kraftstoffe und der Hochlauf der Elektromobilität erfordern eine grundlegende Neuausrichtung. "Die Frage ist nicht mehr, ob sich die Tankstelle verändern muss, sondern wie schnell und in welche Richtung", erklärt Nina London, Partnerin bei BearingPoint. "Erfolgreiche Betreiber werden sich vom reinen Kraftstoffanbieter zum integrierten Mobilitätsdienstleister entwickeln, der Ladeinfrastruktur, digitale Services und neue Geschäftsmodelle intelligent kombiniert." Drei Zukunftsszenarien je nach Standort Die Studie identifiziert drei unterschiedliche Entwicklungspfade, abhängig vom Standort: Stadt: In urbanen Räumen entwickelt sich die Tankstelle zum multimodalen Mobilitätsknoten mit Fokus auf Elektromobilität, digitale Services und Convenience-Angebote. Die Tankstelle wird zur Plattform für verschiedene Verkehrsmittel und Dienstleistungen. Land: Im ländlichen Raum droht vielen klassischen Tankstellen das Aus. Heimladen und sinkende Frequenz führen zu einem schleichenden Rückbau. Nur spezialisierte Anbieter mit lokalen Zusatzservices können überleben. Autobahn: An Fernstraßen transformieren sich Tankstellen zu hochwertigen Verweilstationen mit Schnellladetechnologie, gastronomischen Angeboten und Erlebnischarakter. Der Fokus verschiebt sich vom schnellen Tankstopp zur qualitativ hochwertigen Pause. Foto: BearingPoint   Diesen Beitrag können Sie nachhören oder downloaden unter:

This episode we are joined by Emile Naus, a partner at management and technology consultancy, BearingPoint. We discussed Emile's 30+ years of experience in logistics and supply chain management, including his time as a long-term planning manager at Tesco, why retailers should not just focus on unit cost when making supply chain decisions and what he thinks will separate the winners and losers in terms of logistics over the upcoming years.

Four years later, I'm still here, knowing that persistence shapes both leaders and the organizations they guide.” When Purpose Pays Better Than Paychecks “Our team can't match the salaries of big tech giants, but what we offer is purpose.

Die Themen im heutigen Versicherungsfunk Update sind: Gericht erklärt Stornoabzug der Debeka für rechtswidrig Das Oberlandesgericht Koblenz hat entschieden, dass die Stornoklausel der Debeka Lebensversicherung bei privaten Renten- und Kapitallebensversicherungen rechtswidrig ist. Die Verbraucherzentrale Hamburg hatte die Klausel erfolgreich angefochten, da sie die Versicherten unangemessen benachteiligen würde. Kunden, die hohe Abzüge bei vorzeitigen Kündigungen hinnehmen mussten, empfiehlt sie eine unabhängige Prüfung ihrer Verträge. BarmeniaGothaer verzeichnet 2024 überdurchschnittliches Wachstum Die BarmeniaGothaer hat im Jahr 2024 ein überdurchschnittliches Wachstum erzielt. Die Beitragseinnahmen stiegen um 6,1 Prozent auf 8,5 Milliarden Euro. Besonders stark war das Wachstum in der Kompositversicherung mit rund 10 Prozent. Im Geschäftsfeld Gesundheit erreichte das Unternehmen 3,5 Milliarden Euro Beitragseinnahmen. Auch im Segment Leben konnte die BarmeniaGothaer mit einem Plus von 2,0 Prozent entgegen dem Markttrend zulegen. Neuer COO bei Canada Life Europe Canada Life Europe hat Dr. David Stachon zum Chief Operating Officer (COO) ernannt, vorbehaltlich der behördlichen Zustimmung. Ab Januar 2025 wird er von Neu-Isenburg aus die Geschäftsabläufe und IT des Lebensversicherers leiten sowie digitale Innovationen und Servicequalität für Kunden und Makler vorantreiben. Dr. Stachon bringt knapp 30 Jahre Erfahrung in der Versicherungsbranche mit, darunter Führungspositionen bei Wefox, Generali und ERGO. Kfz-Versicherung 43 Prozent teurer als vor zwei Jahren Seit dem letzten Jahr sehen sich Autofahrer mit massiven Preiserhöhungen in der Kfz-Versicherung konfrontiert. Im Vergleich zu November 2022 sind die Prämien über alle Versicherungsarten hinweg im Mittel um 43 Prozent gestiegen. Vollkasko-Tarife verteuerten sich mit einem Plus von 44 Prozent am stärksten. Das zeigt der Kfz-Versicherungsindex des Vergleichsportals Verivox. -Kfz-Werkstätten erzielen Umsatzplus Kfz-Werkstätten in Deutschland haben in den ersten neun Monaten dieses Jahres ein Umsatzplus erzielt. Mit der Instandhaltung und Reparatur von Kraftwagen machten sie von Januar bis September 2024 preisbereinigt 2,5 % mehr Umsatz als im Vorjahreszeitraum. Der Handel mit Kraftwagen hat hingegen real 1,3 % weniger Umsatz erwirtschaftet als im Vorjahreszeitraum, wie das Statistische Bundesamt (Destatis) mitteilt. Ein Grund für das Umsatzplus der Kfz-Werkstätten und den Umsatzrückgang im Autohandel dürfte die Zurückhaltung beim Kauf von Neu- und Gebrauchtwagen sein. Öffentliche Versicherung Braunschweig setzt auf Marketing Automation mit BSI CX Die Öffentliche Versicherung Braunschweig setzt künftig auf die Marketing Automation-Software BSI CX.

Management and technology consultancy BearingPoint, has launched an in-depth study on artificial intelligence (AI), emphasising the critical need for organisations to transition into augmented organisations to stay competitive in the rapidly evolving market landscape. The research reveals a notable scepticism towards AI among executives in Ireland and the UK, potentially delaying the necessary transformation. An augmented organisation leverages AI and other emerging technologies to enhance capabilities and operational efficiency, reinventing customer and employee experiences and, ultimately, disrupting its value chain to stay relevant in the market. The study, titled 'AI-driven transformation: Becoming an augmented organisation,' underscores AI adoption as a strategic imperative for long-term success. The research, which surveyed 700 C-suite executives across Europe (including 170 from Ireland and the UK), the US, and Asia, revealed key strategies and challenges in AI adoption. Notably, there is scepticism towards AI among executives in Ireland and the UK, with 43% adopting a 'wait and see' approach. The study also found that only 38% of respondents in Ireland and the UK are directly involved in AI-related decision-making, but a significant portion is well-informed about AI initiatives. Governance remains a focus area for Ireland and UK respondents, with 46% still contemplating the best approach to AI governance. 82% of these respondents believe that establishing an effective AI cross-functional task force is crucial for becoming an augmented organisation. Worryingly, the study highlights that only 19% of C-suite executives in Ireland and the UK are actively adopting AI technologies with almost one in three organisations either having no AI implementations or have not started considering AI technologies. This is despite that fact that data readiness among UK&I respondents is relatively high, with only 1% unsure about their data readiness, 42% mostly ready, and 24% fully ready. "AI is a present-day necessity, and the pace of AI innovation and its adoption by competitors and consumers is accelerating," said Stephen Redmond, director, head of data analytics & AI at BearingPoint. "Our study indicates that organisations that fail to integrate AI effectively are at significant risk of falling behind competitors already leveraging AI to enhance productivity, drive innovation, and deliver superior market experiences. AI should be seen not just as a tool, but as a strategic asset that drives new value propositions and market differentiation." Despite prioritising training, findings from the BearingPoint study indicate that only 38% of organisations in Ireland and the UK have a strategy for adopting Al and managing the changes it brings. Four pillars for transitioning to an augmented organisation The study serves as a comprehensive guide for C-suite executives, detailing how to strategically organise and equip their organisations to harness the full potential of emerging technologies. It underscores the importance of acquiring new skills and implementing innovative processes to adopt AI at a competitive market pace. Four key pillars are central to transitioning to an augmented organisation. 1. Establishing effective AI governance: For C-suite executives, establishing AI governance is vital for becoming an augmented organisation, and nearly half of the organisations surveyed are still thinking about the best approach to governance and decision-making for AI. According to the study, cross-functional governance framework is essential to align AI initiatives with business objectives and ensure ethical use. It involves setting up a dedicated AI oversight committee to monitor and guide AI deployments across various departments. It also includes establishing clear policies and protocols to manage data privacy, security, and compliance, ensuring that AI applications are not only effective but also responsible and transparent. 1. Optimising A...

In this episode of Fintech Daydreaming, Pål and Ville are joined by Jani Ristimäki from BearingPoint to dive deep into one of the buzzwords of the moment—embedded finance. Spoiler alert: it's already here, and it's changing the game for banks, fintechs, and consumers alike. From payments baked seamlessly into apps to financial services appearing in places you'd never expect, we break down what embedded finance really means and why it's the future. Will banks survive this shift, or are fintechs taking over the new customer touchpoints? And how does it all impact you—the everyday user who just wants to sustainably and intelligently finance your next purchase without thinking about it too much? If you find yourself sometimes wondering whether banking will become entirely invisible or if banks are going to lose touch with their customers as a result - this might be an episode for you. Tune in for a lively discussion packed with smart insights, terrible humor, and plenty of speculation about what's next in the world of fintech. - Email us on Hello@FintechDaydreaming.com - Fintech Daydreaming home page - https://www.FintechDaydreaming.com - Fintech Daydreaming on Twitter - https://twitter.com/FintechDaydream - Fintech Daydreaming on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/fintech-daydreaming - Pål Krogdahl - https://www.linkedin.com/in/krogdahl/ - Ville Sointu - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ville-sointu-54682b/

The digital euro has entered a two-year preparation phase which will lay the foundations for potentially issuing the digital euro across Europe. According to a new survey conducted by management and technology consultancy BearingPoint in seven countries across Europe, 40% of respondents in Ireland have not heard of the digital euro, a planned digital version of physical euro bank notes and coins. So, whilst knowledge of the digital euro is relatively widespread across Europe, in Ireland, further communication and education is required to ensure acceptance of the digital euro as a supplement to cash. According to official communications of the European Central Bank, the digital euro is not intended to replace cash but to complement it, which is also reflected in the survey results. On average, around 26% of respondents expect the digital euro to be used as a supplement to existing payment methods. Information on the digital euro is most pronounced in Austria, with only 27% of respondents having not heard of it. High awareness in Austria could be due to the intensive political discussion on the digital euro there. On the other hand, 43% of respondents in France had not heard of the digital euro. In the countries with the highest cash use, Austria and Germany, the expectation is that the digital euro will be used less frequently than cash. In Finland, the country with the lowest cash use, the digital euro is expected to be used more frequently than cash. Of the respondents aware of the digital euro, across all age groups, Irish respondents are the most likely to believe that it will replace cash. Expectations of the critical characteristics of the digital euro are consistent across countries, these being: fast, secure, and accepted everywhere, closely followed by availability at all times. Anonymity as a characteristic was by far the least important. Respondents said their preferred use of the digital euro would be for online shopping, with one in two in Ireland saying they would use it there. In all countries surveyed, the digital euro would also be used frequently in daily shopping, such as at the supermarket. The criteria of free to use and accepted everywhere 24/7 (online and offline) would encourage respondents to use the digital euro the most. Trust in data security is seen as a more important criterion for usage than a great user experience. Results of the survey show that the personal bank receives the highest trust for digital euro transaction data. With an average of 4% across all countries, very few respondents would want to entrust their transaction data to technology companies such as Apple, Google, or Amazon. Christian Bruck, Partner and Payments Expert at BearingPoint: "Cash is by far the most popular payment method in Europe. It is so high partly due to the fact that in uncertain times, cash is perceived as particularly familiar and secure. Cash remains highly valued, reflected in the strong majority favouring cash in the next five to ten years. It is interesting to note that, despite the differences in today's use of cash, an average of one in five people would use the digital euro several times a week. This underlines the potential of the digital euro. Gillian O'Sullivan, Partner and Ireland Country Lead at BearingPoint: "Although knowledge of the digital euro is now relatively widespread across Europe, Ireland is lagging with 40% of respondents in Ireland never having heard of it. The findings of our survey highlight that further communication and education is required in Ireland to ensure acceptance of the digital euro as a supplement to cash. In Germany (71%) and Austria (79%), cash use is significantly higher than in other European countries. Respondents from Switzerland (63%), Ireland (61%), the Netherlands (57%), and France (55%) also show a relatively high level of cash use but are well behind Germany and Austria. Finland has a significantly lower cash usage pattern at 43%. The popularity of cash is al...

Alles anders bei „Was mich bewegt“: Diese Woche spricht Yannick mit Redakteurin Ronja Schmiedchen über zwei spannende Entwicklungen, die die Digitalisierung der Automobilindustrie mit sich bringt. Zum einen die Evolution des Crashtests: Während jahrzehntelang noch reale Fahrzeuge gegen Wände prallten, wird die Fahrzeugsicherheit heute immer häufiger in virtuellen Welten getestet – der digitale Zwilling macht's möglich. Wie weit die Autobranche beim Thema Agilität vorangekommen ist, diskutieren Ronja und Yannick anhand einer neuen Studie von BearingPoint. Dabei steht die Frage im Raum: Haben die Unternehmen wirklich begriffen, was agile Organisation bedeutet und wie man sie sinnvoll umsetzt? Alles zum Thema digitaler Zwilling in der Autobranche: https://www.automobil-produktion.de/produktion/smart-factory/fuer-wen-lohnt-sich-der-digital-twin-606.html Die Details zur Studie von BearingPoint: https://www.bearingpoint.com/de-de/ueber-uns/pressemitteilungen-und-medienberichte/pressemitteilungen/studie-agilitaet-pm/ Mehr zu Ronja und Yannick findet ihr auf LinkedIn: Ronja Schmiedchen: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ronja-schmiedchen-56147a236/ Yannick Tiedemann: https://www.linkedin.com/in/yannick-tiedemann-8a8a83a0/ Spannende Hintergründe und Interviews rund um die Automobilindustrie auf: www.automotiveIT.eu www.automobil-produktion.de Hinweis: Die im Podcast getätigten Aussagen spiegeln die Privatmeinung der Gesprächspartner wider und entsprechen nicht zwingend den Darstellungen des jeweiligen Arbeitgebers.

Programme Les diplômés de NEOMA Alumni et les professeurs de la faculté de NEOMA BS s'associent pour publier un 18e livre aux éditions Pearson. Enjeu majeur pour les entreprises et en constante évolution, comment la valorisation des actifs s'estelle, en quelques décennies, adaptée aux évolutions technologiques et à la montée en puissance de nouveaux types d'actifs ?  Cet ouvrage, construit en deux temps, offre un panorama clair, riche et détaillé sur un sujet complexe. Dans un premier temps, il propose d'étudier les actifs traditionnels – eux-mêmes soumis à de perpétuels changements – de la généralisation de l'intelligence artificielle à l'évolution des marchés boursiers en passant par les crises, financières ou sanitaires. Dans un second temps, l'ouvrage analyse plus en détail les actifs immatériels , dont l'importance dans la valorisation est croissante, mais dont la mesure reste difficile. Pour cela, il parcourt des sujets aussi variés que la biodiversité, la transition climatique, les NFT, la raison d'être, le capital humain… L'étude d'un aussi vaste champs permet, d'une part, d'appréhender la diversité des actifs immatériels et, d'autre part, de révéler leur importance dans la valorisation et la façon dont ils peuvent être appréciés.

Survival in the banking industry requires change. Currently, 70% of projects fail, making it evident that success lies not with big, renowned banks but with those that adapt swiftly to customer needs. In today's episode, we therefore delve into the challenges faced by banks, including evolving regulations, emerging technologies, and the urgency for transformation. The primary strategic shift revolves around prioritizing the customer and comprehending their desires. In addition, we touch on the radical changes banks need to undergo and how to make those change long-lastin, by ensuring that everyone comprehends the purpose and goals behind the transformation. By this, projects shift from 70% failure  to 70% success rates. Furthermore, we explore how OKRs can enhance customer focus and their implementation in new product/service development within the banking industry and how finance leaders can successfully work with OKRs.

In dieser Folge des Digital Insurance Podcast spreche ich mit Thorsten Vogel, Berater bei BearingPoint und Bernhard Kraft, CIO bei ERGO Digital Ventures. BearingPoint berät Unternehmen auf den Gebieten Management und Technologie. Im Fokus steht die Entwicklung individueller Lösungen. Unternehmensstrategien werden mit moderner Technik verknüpft. Die ERGO Group ist als Versicherungskonzern in Europa und Asien tätig und kommt insgesamt auf rund 20 Milliarden Euro Umsatz pro Jahr. Sie hat ihren Sitz in Düsseldorf und verfügt über 37.000 Mitarbeiter. Versicherer und Nachhaltigkeit: Bevor es an konkrete Maßnahmen geht, gilt es, ein allgemeines Bewusstsein für die Lage zu erhalten. Der Klimawandel wird auch vor Versicherungsunternehmen nicht Halt machen. Thorsten meint gar, es könnte das Entwickeln gänzlich neuer Produkte vonnöten werden. Versicherer haben daher ein ganz intrinsisches Interesse am Thema Nachhaltigkeit. Doch es bleibt viel zu tun. Thorsten zitiert eine Umfrage, wonach knapp die Hälfte der befragten Unternehmen nicht einmal eine einzige Person besitzen, die sich dem Thema Nachhaltigkeit annimmt. Bernhard gibt zu, dass er erst in den vergangenen 1-2 Jahren viel zum Thema IT und Nachhaltigkeit gelernt hat. Er zählt einige Maßnahmen auf, die unternommen werden können: effizientes Kühlen und das Nutzen der Abwärme aus Rechenzentren sowie Recycling von Elektrogeräten.

The Cognitive Crucible is a forum that presents different perspectives and emerging thought leadership related to the information environment. The opinions expressed by guests are their own, and do not necessarily reflect the views of or endorsement by the Information Professionals Association. During this episode, Dr. Sean McFate discusses his influential book, The New Rules of War. Sean describes how the Westphalian state system is changing, consequences for conventional war, the rise of mercenaries and international mega-corporations, and information operations. Plus, the Cognitive Crucible gets not only one–but two–Monty Python references. Research Question: Sean asks several questions worthy of examination. First, how can a democracy fight secretive wars without losing its democratic soul? Second, strategic culture can eclipse strategic IQ; so, how can a strong strategic culture be broken? Finally, what is strategic thinking, and how are good strategic thinkers created?

"You cannot restrain the heartless except via enforcement."37:50 On lessons for directors in frauds of private companies. "I use Theranos as a warning case for students in accounting: it's the canary in the coalmine in case the audit profession doesn't evolve." There were three audit firms involved in the Theranos case: EY at the beginning but then walked away, then KPMG until they had a dispute about stock option valuations (staying only to do consulting), and PwC did forensic work winding down the company. None of them audited the firm, they only provided services. "They [the audit firms] made more money, with less liability, by providing other services [actively choosing not to provide auditing services.]" "Private companies avoiding going public [the deeper scrutiny] is the shape of things to come." How the JOBS Act stripped away some of the scrutiny over emerging growth companies [EGCs]. Some, like SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce, are in favor of this lighter regulatory approach.47:22 On whether unicorns require a stricter regulatory framework. "We are seeing this [laissez-faire] attitude to the max in the crypto industry."50:00 On whether Sarbanes Oxley had a negative effect on the US IPO market. "We should not have marginal/shady companies in the public markets." On the negative effect of relaxing the rules in the JOBS Act. "We should be talking about the quality of companies, not the quantity of listings."55:26 On the difference between valuations (in private companies) and marketcap (in public companies). "I'm a big believer in the power of short sellers and activist investors to highlight [price inefficiencies and fraud] because they put their money where their mouth is." "The SEC has been very disappointing in both Republican and Democratic administrations in terms of actually calling accounting fraud by its name." On the role of whistleblowers.01:04:02 On the rise (and increasing political polarization) of ESG. "I'm cynical towards it, firms are looking to get a piece of clients' wallets." "The trend first emerged in Europe with firms providing side audits like carbon emissions." "My head is tainted with the idea that it's all a big marketing ploy." The audit mandate in the proposed SEC's climate change disclosure rules. On the proxy proposals (like Exxon's) and greenwashing.01:10:28 - Three books that have greatly influenced her life: Siddartha, by Hermann Hesse (1922)The Road Less Traveled, by M.

Guest Debbie Cameron, Build Consultant's newest Partner, and Build Consulting's Kyle Haines had an informal discussion on what the upcoming few years will probably bring to the nonprofit IT ecosystem, changes to expect and the value of change management in nonprofit IT projects. Their conversation also touches on the importance of planning for 3-5 years out instead of trying to plan for 10 years out when making a software selection, how best-of-breed models allow greater flexibility to pivot but require greater emphasis on keeping clean export-able data, and observes that being the planner and cheerleader for nonprofit tech projects complements being the planner and cheerleader of an active family. Debbie led the development of Build Consulting's change management practice before joining the leadership team. Prior to joining Build Consulting, Debbie led the multi-year constituent relationship management transformation at the World Wildlife Fund that brought together diverse stakeholders ranging from data scientists to relationship managers. Debbie began her career at Anderson Consulting in the Enterprise Technology practice and then worked for Bearingpoint as an Engagement Manager in the State, Local and Education practice. She is a graduate of Virginia Tech. Our Fireside Chats are designed for audiences with varied experiences with technology.

Russ Berland is back on this episode of The Compliance Life to share how he uses creative communication to change compliance culture.  Changing Culture at BearingPoint Tom Fox credits Russ with being one of the first persons to come up with a compliance movie. Russ relates that the lack of an integrated culture was one of the biggest issues at BearingPoint in 2007. His goal was to build company culture, and expectations around the same. Research suggested that they should start with their training, so Russ and his team came up with the idea of a series of videos - a “mockumentary” - similar to The Office. The team gathered stories from employees, which became inspiration for the script.  The first series of videos about the fictional Agreva Group was a phenomenal success. Russ relates that the “magic for us was that because they were our own stories, the people at BearingPoint recognized them and empathized with them…” After each six minute episode, a senior official would talk about the policies that applied to the situation portrayed in the video, and what the characters should have done. Russ comments that the training was the talk of the company: people eagerly looked forward to the release of the next episode, and diagnostic surveys showed marked cultural change as a result. One of their employees even became a local celebrity from acting in the series. They subsequently created a column and a second series of videos. Tom comments that using the employees' stories not only made them more targeted and engaged in the series, but also allowed Russ to gather information. Their post-diagnostic surveys helped them to measure the effectiveness of the training. Russ adds that engaging the senior leadership to talk on the videos made them the mouthpiece for the culture they were trying to create, while setting the tone from the top.
