In deze aflevering van de podcast voor en door bedrijfsjuristen is Nienke Schroots te gast. Nienke ging rechten studeren met het idee de sociale advocatuur in te gaan. Maar dingen lopen soms zoals ze lopen, en Nienke rolde toch het bedrijfsleven in. In eerste instantie hield zij zich vooral bezig met arbeidsrecht, later richtte zij zich meer op commerciële contracten en IT. Maar toen zijn een aantal jaar geleden, zij was inmiddels Legal Director Consumer Audio EMEA bij HARMAN International, alle ESG-wetgeving op zich af zag komen ging haar sociaal juridische hart weer sneller kloppen. Dit gevoel werd versterkt door de totstandkoming van de Europese Green Deal én de klimaatzaak tegen Shell. Nienke besloot zich te gaan specialiseren in ESG en startte dit voorjaar als interim Legal Counsel ESG. Tijdens deze aflevering neemt Nienke ons mee in haar carrière, maar geeft zij ook haar visie op: de plaats van ESG binnen het bedrijf de rol van de bedrijfsjurist binnen ESG het implementeren van de ESG due diligence checklist climate conscious lawyering

When Samsung Electronics acquired Stamford, Connecticut-based Harman International for $8 billion in cash in 2017, it was not the first time that the South Korean company's appetite for convergence IP had intersected with the career path of Harman CFO Sandra Rowland. A little more than 7 years earlier, Samsung executives had sat across the table from Rowland when she was head of corporate FP&A for Eastman Kodak in Rochester, New York. At the time, Kodak was busily negotiating IP licensing deals with several smartphone manufacturers, including Samsung, that were eager to leverage what Kodak had amassed—an inventory of more than 1,000 digital-imaging patents. “Kodak was the inventor of the digital camera, and there was a real opportunity there to leverage the intellectual property and create a key funding source,” reports Rowland, who left Kodak in 2012 after a Harman board member recommended her for a top IR role. She would enter Harman's CFO office 2 years later. “There's a high correlation between investor relations and company strategy, and at Harman the CFO role covered the execution of M&A transactions as well as the corporate strategy,” comments Rowland, who adds that IR remained her primary focus for the first six months, after which point she took on a variety of corporate development activities. Not unlike the case during her years at Kodak, the winds of technology convergence were steadily blowing at Harman, a publicly held company specializing in designing and integrating in-vehicle technologies. Observes Rowland: “Whether it is automotive technologies or consumer technologies, there is a lot of convergence—and people want the same experience in their cars today that they have with smartphones at home.” Of course, Samsung's $8 billion in cash afforded the electronics giant something more than Harman's IP and technologies—it also acquired long-term relationships with most of the world's largest automakers. “As part of the transaction, the Samsung's team asked our key leaders to stay because they were new to the automotive space,” states Rowland, who as part of her agreement with Samsung remained as CFO of a newly formed Harman independent subsidiary for a period of 3 years.   It was less than 30 days beyond the expiration of her Samsung agreement that Rowland was named CFO of water technology company Xylem—thus opening a new CFO chapter for her with plenty of converging technologies to explore. Asked about parting from Samsung, Rowland admits, “I did want to go back and become a public company CFO once again.” –Jack Sweeney

Musik und Automobile gehören zusammen. Denn was macht mehr Spaß, als sich während der Fahrt mit Musik gute Laune zu generieren. Ein Grund für Lexus, seine langjährige und exklusive Partnerschaft mit Mark Levinson zu feiern. Der Premium-Audiospezialist garantiert perfekten Klanggenuss in Lexus Premium-Automodellen. Darum geht es diesmal!Wenn man in Bezug auf ein Auto davon spricht, dass da „Musik drin sei“, dann kann das unterschiedliche Bedeutungen haben. Meistens ist die „Musik unter der Haube“, also der kraftvolle Motor gemeint. Immer häufiger aber sind aber auch die Soundsysteme IM Wagen gemeint. Und je höherwertiger der Wagen, desto höherwertiger ist meist das Soundsystem. Beispiel: Lexus!  Seit mehr als 20 Jahren legen Lexus und die zu Harman International gehörende Prestigemarke Mark Levinson die Messlatte für automobile Audioqualität höher. Vor allem wird für jedes neue Lexus Modell ein maßgeschneidertes Soundsystem entwickelt: Immer ausgefeiltere Technologien ermöglichen Hörerlebnisse wie in einem großen Symphonie-Saal, einem intimen Jazz-Club oder auf einem Stadionkonzert – ganz nach den persönlichen Vorlieben und Musikgeschmäckern. Die jüngsten Früchte dieser Partnerschaft zeigen sich im Laufe dieses Jahres in zwei neuen SUV: der nächsten Generation des Lexus RX und dem neuen vollelektrischen RZ.     Eines der jüngsten Beispiele für die Zusammenarbeit ist das Audiosystem im Lexus NX 350h. Dank der neuen PurePlay-Architektur wird ein 7.1-Surround-Sound-Effekt erzeugt, der den Klang noch näher an das Ohr der Insassen bringt. Das Hörerlebnis geht über das hinaus, was man von einem automobilen Audiosystem erwartet. Damit trägt die Audioqualität zum Omotenashi-Prinzip der Gastfreundschaft von Lexus bei.    Die Entwicklung des Audiosystems begann etwa fünf Jahre vor der Markteinführung des Modells und umfasste eine genaue Prüfung der Größe und Form des Interieurs. „Platz ist immer ein wichtiges Kriterium, besonders in einem Fahrzeug der Größe des NX“, erklärt man bei Mark Levinson. „Für das perfekte Soundsystem waren monatelange Fahrzeugstudien, viele handgefertigte Prototypen, Simulationen, Messungen und Präsentationen erforderlich. Das Team nahm sogar das Fahrzeug bis auf das Blech auseinander und überarbeitete den Fertigungsprozess, um Platz für Innovationen zu schaffen. Da die Fahrzeughersteller die Produktion steigern und gleichzeitig weniger Ressourcen verbrauchen wollen, muss das Multimediasystem denselben Herausforderungen gerecht werden. Jeder Millimeter Platz und jedes Gramm Material muss einen klaren Mehrwert bieten.“ Lexus schätzt zu Recht die mit Mark Levinson verbundene Qualität und Attraktivität.  Alle Fotos: ©  Toyota Deutschland GmbH   Diesen Beitrag können Sie nachhören oder downloaden unter:

When it comes to our target audience, we think we know exactly what they want - but do we really? Or are we making assumptions based on past behavior? This may seem like a simple fix but the habit can be hard to break. And when 95% of all innovations fail, that leaves very little room for error. Warren Schirtzinger has been able to break that habit - and he's dishing out some major strategies on how to increase your chances of having your innovation adopted! Warren talks about assumptions and past behavior, understanding who the adopters (and innovators) are in the adoption cycle, and even the balance of benefit/cost. There's a lot to unpack in this episode. And we're planning on more with Warren, so get in on the first show and get ready to shore up your innovation adoption strategies so you can increase your chances of success. Here are the show highlights: Adoption of innovation and risk evaluation (6:31) This is why 95% of all innovations fail (8:40) Electric vehicles vs. COVID vaccinations - don't make assumptions (17:09) Understanding who the innovators and adopters are (20:09) Identifying the magic in word-of-mouth (28:42) For every benefit an innovation brings, there's a cost (33:00)  Guest Bio Warren Schirtzinger likes to refer to himself as the “luckiest business person alive” - and he very well may be! Currently the Managing Partner at High Tech Strategies, he has also built a long and successful career as a strategic advisor, VP of Sales and Marketing. Warren has also made significant contributions to emerging high-tech companies: Apple, Adobe, Harman International, Intermec, and many others.

The conversation with Harman CEO Dinesh Paliwal begins at 27:58.  Free speech is getting exhausting. It’s a game of online publishing whack-a-mole as wingnut Alex Jones, of Infowars fame, finally gets suspended from Twitter, only to direct his audience to Tumblr. How should those of us who still love America feel about the amount of crazy that’s going on in the media game these days?  MoviePass is testing its business model … on Solo. Borrowing a page from Darth Vader’s Cloud City book of negotiating tactics, movie theater subscription company MoviePass is altering the terms of your deal – pray they don’t alter it further.   And skinny bundles are the new skinny jeans. In further evidence of a trend I like to call “The Great Rebundling,” digital distributors and content companies are hooking up faster than you can say, “Ban Alex Jones.” The latest to swipe right on each other: Verizon doing a deal for free Apple Music and Samsung doing a deal to pre-load Spotify on all its devices.   Last but not least, for the Fortt Knox one-on-one this week I’ve got Dinesh Paliwal, CEO of Harman International, the high-end audio company Samsung bought for 8 billion dollars last year. He’s talking straight about the future of music formats and the right way to play business hardball with China.   Welcome to Fortt Knox, rich ideas and powerful people. I am Jon Fortt at the Nasdaq Marketsite in New York’s Times Square.   Joining me on the show today to break down the headlines: I’ve got Ed Lee of the New York Times.

Our guest today is John Absmeier. John has an interesting background, starting with his career with Delphi (the automotive technology company) where he worked his way up for over 17 years. While at Delphi he spent over 8 years in Shanghai, China. After his time overseas he came back to Silicon Valley for another 4 years at Delphi. Toward the end of 2015 he became VP of Smart Machines at Samsung. Thats about the time I met John. About 2 years after he joined Samsung they acquired Harman International and he is presently SVP of the Autonomous Business Unit at HARMAN & VP, Smart Machines at Samsung. John and I have had some interesting conversations about the future of automotive which usually ends with the love of cars we both share. So lets get right into our conversation with John Absmeier.

This week's episode is back to our usual format, with a News Roundup to kick things off, a Question of the Week, and a third segment, followed by a Weekly Pick. Our News Roundup covers three stories: firstly, Snap (nee Snapchat) released its Spectacles hardware and reportedly confidentially filed IPO documents with the SEC; secondly, Twitter introduced some muting options to help combat abuse and harassment, while also kicking several figures from the "alt-right" movement off the service'; and thirdly, the fake news story we discussed last week continued to evolve this week with Facebook and Google both making news. Our Question of the Week is "What are the implications of Samsung buying Harman International?" Aaron did some research this week into this acquisition and its implications, and answers questions about what exactly Samsung is buying, what Harman's connected car business does, and how the two companies might bring their assets together, and lastly how this is likely to impact consumers and the broader tech industry. (We also weigh in on the idea that Apple should have bought Harman instead). Our third segment combines a couple of Apple-related items: Jan shares a summary of his MacBook Pro review from earlier this week, and we also discuss the new coffee table book Apple launched this week about its design. We wrap up with our Weekly Pick, which this week is a movie recommended by Jan. As usual, you’ll find some links to related content as well as other ways to listen to the podcast on the website at podcast.beyonddevic.es.
