Podcasts about Koller

In this episode, Tim Koller, co-author of Valuation and a leading authority on corporate finance, offers a substantive examination of capital allocation decisions under real-world constraints. The discussion moves beyond theory to explore how CEOs and CFOs should approach resource deployment in mature, capital-rich companies—where investment opportunities are limited not due to lack of ambition but due to economic reality. Key insights include: - Share Buybacks as Rational Policy: Many firms undertaking significant buybacks—particularly in tech, life sciences, and consumer products—do so because they generate more cash than they can reinvest profitably. Koller argues that, in such cases, returning excess capital to shareholders is not a sign of strategic failure but of disciplined decision-making. - The Fallacy of Diversification Without Advantage: Koller highlights repeated failures by capital-rich companies that expand into unrelated sectors to deploy cash, citing historical missteps in energy, utilities, and industrials. He emphasizes the need to assess whether the firm has a genuine competitive advantage before moving beyond its core business. - Granular Leadership in Resource Allocation: Effective CEOs are directly engaged with capital allocation at the business-unit level. Delegating such decisions without maintaining enterprise-wide oversight often leads to underinvestment in high-return growth areas and misaligned incentives at the divisional level. - The Perils of Uniform Cost-Cutting Mandates: Broad directives to improve margins often result in cuts to product development and customer experience—leading to long-term degradation despite short-term financial gains. Koller stresses the importance of distinguishing between cost efficiencies that enhance value and those that erode it. - Timing and Judgment in Capital Deployment: In cyclical, capital-intensive sectors such as chemicals and energy, building capacity in sync with competitors can destroy value. Koller calls for contrarian timing, grounded in independent analysis, even when boards and markets are predisposed to follow the cycle. Additional themes include the underuse of postmortems in capital projects, the misalignment between project planners and operators, and the distinction between executional and experimental failure. Throughout, Koller reiterates that sound capital allocation depends not only on financial modeling, but also on institutional learning, leadership judgment, and clarity of strategic intent. This conversation offers practical, senior-level guidance for executives, board members, and investors who must navigate capital planning amid structural constraints, investor pressures, and organizational complexity.   Get Tim's book here: https://shorturl.at/nk7Z9 Valuation: Measuring and Managing the Value of Companies   Claim your free gift: Free gift #1 McKinsey & BCG winning resume www.FIRMSconsulting.com/resumePDF Free gift #2 Breakthrough Decisions Guide with 25 AI Prompts www.FIRMSconsulting.com/decisions Free gift #3 Five Reasons Why People Ignore Somebody www.FIRMSconsulting.com/owntheroom Free gift #4 Access episode 1 from Build a Consulting Firm, Level 1 www.FIRMSconsulting.com/build Free gift #5 The Overall Approach used in well-managed strategy studies www.FIRMSconsulting.com/OverallApproach Free gift #6 Get a copy of Nine Leaders in Action, a book we co-authored with some of our clients: www.FIRMSconsulting.com/gift

On today's show, host Ali Muldrow speaks with Dionne Koller about her new book, More Than Play: How Law, Policy, and Politics Shape American Youth Sport. As a former athlete who signed her kids up for youth sports, Koller says she wrote the book to make the experience of youth sports more acceptable and accessible. Koller says that physical and emotional abuse are issues across sports, not just in the high-profile abuses in women's gymnastics. That's because hierarchies fuel our current approach to youth sports, hierarchies like parent-child and coach-athlete relationships. In both instances, kids aren't given rights. And this is a very American problem, as the US is the only nation not to sign on to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.  Our youth sports culture has internalized the idea that being yelled at and playing through pain are good for “character development,” despite all data to the contrary. And kids are harmed when their parents and other adults get swept up in the positive and negative emotions that come from competitive play. Koller says that we've given sports sponsors and coaches both social and policy gatekeeping authority and there's not enough regulation when it comes to youth sports.  We should have some minimum safety standards for youth sports, like coach background checks and other health standards. She observes that legislators are trying really hard all of a sudden to keep trans girls out of youth sports; meanwhile these same legislators aren't supporting the enforcement of Title IX regulations.  And they also discuss the emphasis on winning at all costs, the rise of youth sports gambling and AAU sports, the nefarious history of the term “student-athlete,” and how overtraining kids leads to preventable injuries. Koller wants to imagine sports as an equalizer, as athleticism has been a vehicle for upward mobility in the Black community. She says there's a lot more romance we can get out of youth sports, we just have to open doors and make youth sports more accessible.  Dionne Koller is Director of the Center for Sport and the Law at the University of Baltimore, where she also serves as a law professor. In 2021, she was appointed to co-chair the Commission on the State of US Olympic and Paralympics. She also has served as chair and a member of the executive board for the Sports Law Section of the Association of American Law Schools (AALS), is a member of the United States Anti-Doping Agency's Administrative Review Panel, and serves on the editorial board for the International Sports Law Journal. A graduate of Harvard Law School, Koller was awarded the AALS 2024 award for significant contributions to the field of sports law.

Winterzeit ist Leidenszeit – oder zumindest Zeit für absolute Härtefälle im Stall, wie Mira und Josi in dieser Episode feststellen. Die beiden analysieren herrlich ehrlich die typischen Stereotypen, die uns jetzt in der Halle begegnen: Von der Dressur-Diva, die Vorfahrt für ihre Lektionen beansprucht, bis zu den Springreitern, die einem fast in den Rücken hüpfen. Auch die kreativen Ausreden der Bodenarbeits-Fraktion, die „gar nicht longiert“, aber trotzdem massig Platz braucht, kriegen ihr Fett weg. Ein Appell für mehr Rücksichtnahme, damit niemand wegen der Angst-Reiterin Schnappatmung bekommt.Damit ihr nicht erfriert, gibt es Miras genialen Hack gegen Eisbeine. Hört rein und kommt gut durch den Winter!Ihr kriegt nicht genug? Dann schaut mal Instagram vorbei: @miraaams & @xosephinKnusprig unterstützt wird diese Folge von KoRo

Jak se píše hit? A co všechno to v praxi obnáší? To bylo téma šestého pokračování projektu Headliner půda 8.9. v Malostranské besedě. Hosty Honzy Vedrala byli David Koller, songwriter Jenda Vávra a Roman Strejček z Ochranného svazu autorského. V podcastovém záznamu z druhé části večera dojde na historky z devadesátek i umělou inteligenci. I písně, které dnes bereme jako samozřejmé, měly na krajíčku. Hned na začátku se Honza Vedral dotkne historky, která se týká dávného hitu Lucie, písně Sen, kterou David Koller nazpíval s Lenkou Dusilovou. „Vypráví se, že z vydavatelství chtěli, abys ji zpíval sám. A producent Ivan Král se proti tomu musel řekl, že ne,“ říká Kollerovi. Ten nad tím sice zavrtí hlavou, ale pak příběh jedné z nejhezčích písní své bývalé kapely odvypráví do detailu.O tom, jak těžké v takové semknuté skupině rozlišit, kdo je skutečný autor, se shodli všichni. „Někdy to nemá cenu rozebírat. Když jsme se v kapele hádali míň, podepsali jsme se všichni,“ vzpomíná Koller s úsměvem. Jenda Vávra tomu dal dnešní perspektivu: principy spolupráce a „popdisu“ hitu se zas tolik neliší – ať už jde o kapelu nebo songwriting camp.Projekt Headliner půda podpořili Ministerstvo kultury ČR, Ochranný svaz autorský a Městska část Praha 1.

Am 28. September 2025 entscheidet die Stimmbevölkerung über einen Systemwechsel bei der Besteuerung von Wohneigentum. Wird die kantonale Liegenschaftssteuer auf Zweitliegenschaften eingeführt, fällt der Eigenmietwert. Was bedeutet das für Eigentümerinnen und Mieter? Wer in seinem eigenen Haus oder in seiner eigenen Wohnung lebt, muss den Eigenmietwert versteuern. Dieser Wert orientiert sich am Betrag, der bei einer Vermietung der Liegenschaft eingenommen werden könnte. Diese Besteuerung soll nun abgeschafft werden. Im gleichen Schritt sollen die geltenden Abzugsmöglichkeiten – etwa bei Schuldzinsen oder beim Unterhalt – stark eingeschränkt werden. Im Gegenzug sollen die Kantone die Möglichkeit erhalten, eine Liegenschaftssteuer auf Zweitliegenschaften einzuführen. Dafür ist eine Verfassungsänderung nötig. Über diese stimmt die Bevölkerung am 28. September 2025 ab. Bei einem Ja tritt auch die damit verknüpfte Gesetzesvorlage zur Abschaffung der Besteuerung des Eigenmietwerts in Kraft. Wer profitiert, wer verliert? Die vom Parlament beschlossene Reform sorgt bereits im Vorfeld der Abstimmung für hitzige Diskussionen. Für die Befürworterinnen und Befürworter ist klar, dass mit dem Eigenmietwert die Eigentümer gegenüber den Mietenden benachteiligt werden. Die Abschaffung der Eigenmietwertbesteuerung vereinfache das Steuersystem und reduziere die Anreize zur privaten Verschuldung. Die Reform sei ausgewogen und fair. Die Gegnerinnen und Gegner der Vorlage warnen hingegen vor massiv weniger Steuereinnahmen für den Staat. Ausserdem komme die Abschaffung des Eigenmietwerts primär Eigenheimbesitzern zugute. Weil Hausbesitzerinnen ihre Unterhaltskosten und Energiesparmassnahmen kaum mehr von den Steuern abziehen könnten, sei zudem die Energiewende gefährdet. Welche Auswirkungen hätte die Abschaffung des Eigenmietwerts? Droht tatsächlich ein massiver Steuerausfall oder tritt genau das Gegenteil ein? Und was bedeutet die Vorlage für die Energiewende? Zu diesen Fragen begrüsst Mario Grossniklaus am 12. September 2025 in der «Abstimmungs-Arena» als Befürworterinnen und Befürworter der Vorlage: – Gregor Rutz, Nationalrat SVP/ZH und Präsident HEV Schweiz; – Brigitte Häberli-Koller, Ständerätin Die Mitte/TG und Vizepräsidentin HEV Schweiz; – Markus Ritter, Nationalrat Die Mitte/SG und Präsident Schweizer Bauernverband; und – Peter Schilliger, Nationalrat FDP/LU. Gegen die Vorlage treten an: – Eva Herzog, Ständerätin SP/BS; – Mathias Zopfi, Ständerat Grüne/GL und Präsident Schweizerischer Gemeindeverband; – Martin Bühler, Leitender Ausschuss Konferenz der Kantonsregierungen, Regierungsrat GR/FDP; und – Martin Wyss, Vorstand Schweizerischer Maler- und Gipserunternehmer-Verband.

Currently, 1,648 people in Slovakia are living with HIV. In 2024 alone, 63 new cases have been diagnosed. While proper treatment can ensure the virus poses no risk to others, including partners, societal stigma remains strong. Many people, including medical professionals, still lack sufficient knowledge about what it truly means to be HIV positive. Find out more in the interview with HIV/AIDS Slovensko director Ján Koller and deputy director Miroslav Krajčoviech. Another epiode of Slovak Sound Check is waiting for you, too.

Tens of millions of children in the United States participate in youth sport, a pastime widely believed to be part of a good childhood. Yet most children who enter youth sport are driven to quit by the time they enter adolescence, and many more are sidelined by its high financial burdens. Until now, there has been little legal scholarly attention paid to youth sport or its reform. In More Than Play: How Law, Policy, and Politics Shape American Youth Sport (University of California Press, 2025) Dr. Dionne Koller sets the stage for a different approach by illuminating the law and policy assumptions supporting a model that puts children's bodies to work in an activity that generates significant surplus value. In doing so, she identifies the wide array of beneficiaries who have a stake in a system that is much more than just play—and the political choices that protect these parties' interests at children's expense. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Tens of millions of children in the United States participate in youth sport, a pastime widely believed to be part of a good childhood. Yet most children who enter youth sport are driven to quit by the time they enter adolescence, and many more are sidelined by its high financial burdens. Until now, there has been little legal scholarly attention paid to youth sport or its reform. In More Than Play: How Law, Policy, and Politics Shape American Youth Sport (University of California Press, 2025) Dr. Dionne Koller sets the stage for a different approach by illuminating the law and policy assumptions supporting a model that puts children's bodies to work in an activity that generates significant surplus value. In doing so, she identifies the wide array of beneficiaries who have a stake in a system that is much more than just play—and the political choices that protect these parties' interests at children's expense. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Unser heutiger Gast hat ursprünglich Biologie und Humanmedizin studiert, er hat aber beides nicht beendet. Denn er hat sich für einen anderen Weg entschieden: den der Kreativität. Nach Stationen in Budapest, Köln, Berlin und München machte er sich einen Namen als Kreativdirektor, Stratege und Change Manager in der deutschen Medien-, Startup- und Werbebranche. Seit 2016 wirkt er maßgeblich an der Transformation der Seven.One AdFactory mit, dem Innovationshub der SevenOne Entertainment Group. Heute leitet er dort das Creative House und verantwortet als Director den Bereich Strategy, Content & Creation. Neben seiner beruflichen Arbeit hat er mehrfach ehrenamtliche Initiativen angestoßen, darunter Das Home Office, ein kreatives Kollektiv für gesellschaftlich relevante Kommunikation, und C_SR – Creative Social Responsibility, eine Plattform, die Kreativität in den Dienst des Gemeinwohls stellt. Mit Flutwein hat er ein weiteres ikonisches Projekt verantwortet.Aktuell arbeitet er an einem Projekt, das weit über seinen Beruf hinausgeht: Demokratie muss menschlich sein. In diesem so besonderen und ambitionierten Buchprojekt, unterstützt durch Crowdfunding, versammelt er Menschen, Stimmen und Perspektiven, die für den Wert unserer Demokratie einstehen. Das Buch wird mit einer eigens entwickelten Tinte gedruckt, als Symbol für Tiefe, Haltung und Menschlichkeit. Seit nun schon acht Jahren beschäftigen wir uns in diesem Podcast mit der Frage, wie Arbeit den Menschen stärkt, statt ihn zu schwächen. In über 480 Gesprächen haben wir mit mehr als 600 Persönlichkeiten darüber gesprochen, was sich für sie geändert hat und was sich weiter ändern muss. Was macht gute Kommunikation in Zeiten von Unsicherheit und Wandel aus? Warum muss Demokratie wieder menschlich gedacht und gestaltet werden? Und welche Verantwortung tragen Kreative in Zeiten wie diesen? In unserem Podcast sprechen wir mit Menschen, die sich auf den Weg gemacht haben, zu einer neuen Haltung gegenüber Arbeit, Leben und Gesellschaft. Es geht um Sinn, Verantwortung und die Frage, wie wir Arbeit und Leben besser miteinander verbinden können. Fest steht: „New Work“ wird heute oft verzwergt, viele denken dabei immer noch an bunte Sitzsäcke, Hunde im Büro, Obstkörbe und Home-Office. Ursprünglich jedoch wurde der New-Work-Gedanke in einer Krise geboren, als neuer Weg zwischen Kapitalismus und Sozialismus, um den Menschen Raum zur Entfaltung zu geben und die Chancen neuer Technologien für echte Problemlösungen zu nutzen. Genau deshalb suchen wir weiter nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näher bringen. Darüber hinaus beschäftigt uns von Anfang an die Frage, ob wirklich alle Menschen das finden und leben können, was sie im Innersten wirklich, wirklich wollen.Ihr seid bei „On the Way to New Work“ – heute mit Daniel Koller.

Shane Koller joined us on The Modern People Leader. We talked about adopting a product mindset in HR, how Ancestry's people team built their “product roadmap”, and why even great HR programs fall short when they're not connected.----
