Österreichs wirtschaftliche Lage spitzt sich zu: Die Inflation zieht erneut an, die Konjunktur lahmt, und die Staatsschulden erreichen ein besorgniserregendes Niveau. Nun hat die EU ein Defizitverfahren gegen Österreich eingeleitet. Die Dreierregierung aus ÖVP, SPÖ und Neos zieht dennoch zufrieden Bilanz über ihre eigenen Leistungen und Vizekanzler Andreas Babler würde der Regierung sogar ein „Ausgezeichnet“ im Betragen geben. Dürfen die Österreicher auch so zufrieden sein mit ihrer Regierung? Kann sie den negativen Trend noch umkehren – oder genügt es ihr, die Legislaturperiode bis zur nächsten Nationalratswahl 2029 abzusitzen? Hat Brüssel der Koalition mit dem Defizitverfahren das Ruder ohnehin schon aus der Hand genommen? Schneller Staatsbürger: Kommen so die Richtigen?Der Anteil der arbeitenden Österreicher schrumpft: Schon 2060 könnten mehr Menschen im Ruhestand sein als im Berufsleben. Unser Wohlfahrtsstaat wird spätestens dann an seine Grenzen kommen, und unsere Wirtschaft ächzt schon jetzt unter dem Fachkräftemangel. Entweder wir arbeiten alle länger – oder wir forcieren den Zuzug aus dem Ausland. In Italien und anderen europäischen Staaten will man deshalb den Zugang zu Staatsbürgerschaften erleichtern. Führt daran auch in Österreich kein Weg vorbei? Oder ist das nur ein weiterer Pull-Faktor, der die Migration in den Sozialstaat weiter befeuert? Darüber diskutiert Katrin Prähauser mit diesen Gästen: Peter Westenthaler, FPÖ-nahe Stiftungsrat des ORF Eric Frey, Redakteur beim „Standard“ Gudula Walterskirchen, Herausgeberin des „Libratus“-Magazins Katharina Körber-Risak, Unternehmerin und Juristin Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on GTM Live, Carolyn sits down with Dave Boyce, Executive Chair at Winning by Design and longtime SaaS builder, to explore why GTM systems are breaking, and what modern companies must do differently to build for predictable, customer-centered growth.They dive into what Dave calls “the layers of sediment” that have built up over time, e.g. commissions, org design, reporting structures, and outdated dashboards, and why those legacy systems are misaligned with today's buying behavior.They also talk about the real challenges CROs are facing right now: Deals are harder to win, old tactics aren't working, and most GTM teams are stuck optimizing for the wrong outcomes.You'll hear practical examples of what high-performing companies like Atlassian are doing differently, the importance of empathy in system design, and why the CEO—not just Sales or Marketing—needs to own this transformation.Together, they unpack why most GTM strategies break down. And it's not because of effort, but because they lack system design.Key topics in this episode:The broken layers of GTM measurement, and why that era is overWhy commissions often reinforce short-term, self-interested behaviorWhy visibility across the full funnel/bowtie is essential for accountability and improvementThe "Andon Cord" concept from Toyota and what GTM can learn from itWhy the CEO must own GTM system design (and why FP&A is the ideal quarterback)What Atlassian does differently to align around the customer
