Podcasts about young professionals

In wenigen Tagen erscheint im Controller Magazin ein ausführliches Interview mit Peter Bluhm – 29.600 Zeichen über ein Thema, das in den Projekten bei ATVISIO oft eine zentrale und erfolgsentscheidende Rolle spielt: die Zusammenarbeit zwischen Controlling und IT. Regelmäßig erleben die Consultants von ATVISIO in Kick-off-Meetings für neue BI-Projekte typische Spannungen zwischen den beiden Bereichen. Der Controlling-Leiter fordert schnelle Ergebnisse – „Wir brauchen das Dashboard bis Monatsende!" – während der IT-Leiter auf klare Spezifikationen besteht: „Ohne vernünftige Spezifikation läuft hier gar nichts." Im Interview berichtet Peter Bluhm aus über 20 Jahren Beratungserfahrung in Business Intelligence und Data Management. Eine Situation beschreibt er besonders eindrücklich: Ein Controlling-Leiter spricht von einer „IT-Diktatur", während der IT-Leiter im selben Unternehmen vom „Excel-Chaos" im Controlling spricht. Für Peter Bluhm ist das kein Einzelfall, sondern ein systematisches Muster – und genau darüber spricht er im Interview mit dem Controller Magazin.

Zu Gast im Performance Manager Podcast: Prof. Dr. Verena Rock von der Technischen Hochschule Aschaffenburg. Im Mittelpunkt steht die aktuelle Studie “Transform to Succeed 2025”, die sie zusammen mit Drees & Sommer durchgeführt hat. Stillstand im digitalen Reifegrad Die Untersuchung zeigt: Der digitale Reifegrad der Immobilienbranche stagniert nahezu. Gleichzeitig sind die Investitionen deutlich zurückgegangen – nur noch 7 % der Unternehmen investieren mehr als 20 % ihres Umsatzes in Digitalisierung, im Vorjahr waren es noch 19 % der Unternehmen. Hindernisse und neue Treiber Mentalität, Widerstände und organisatorische Strukturen bremsen viele Unternehmen weiterhin aus. Gleichzeitig gewinnt Künstliche Intelligenz an Bedeutung, während ESG an Relevanz verliert. Best Practices und Handlungsempfehlungen Erfolgreiche Beispiele kommen u. a. von GAG Köln, BUWOG und STRABAG.

1952 löste Grace Hopper ein Problem, das heute in jedem Unternehmen existiert. Die IT spricht von ETL-Prozessen und Data Warehouses. Das Controlling denkt in KPIs und Forecasts. Das Marketing fokussiert sich auf Conversion-Rates. Alle sprechen eine andere „Datensprache“ - genau wie damals die unverständlichen Maschinencodes. Grace Hoppers Lösung? Der Compiler - ein Übersetzer zwischen Mensch und Maschine. Was Unternehmen heute brauchen: Einen Compiler für ihre BI-Projekte. Jemanden, der zwischen den Abteilungen dolmetscht und aus scheinbar gegensätzlichen Anforderungen eine gemeinsame Lösung entwickelt. Im aktuellen Podcast zeige ich, woran Sie echte BI-Kompetenz erkennen - und warum die meisten Berater zu schnell mit Softwarevorschlägen kommen.

„Daten sind das neue Öl“ – diese Metapher ist längst abgenutzt. Die eigentliche Frage ist: Wie schaffen es Unternehmen, aus ihren Datenbeständen echten Wert zu schöpfen? Und welche Rolle spielen Controller dabei?  Die neue Ausgabe 5/2025 der Fachzeitschrift Controlling zeigt vier unterschiedliche Wege zur datengesteuerten Organisation. Von systematischen Use Case-Bewertungen, die Subjektivität bei Daten-Projekten vermeiden, über modulare Data Mesh-Architekturen, die zentralisierte Data Warehouses herausfordern bis hin zu Knowledge Graphs, die neue Möglichkeiten der Unternehmenssteuerung eröffnen. Dazu kommt ein oft übersehener Aspekt: Controller sollen lernen, ihre Zahlen zu erzählen – Data Storytelling als Brücke zwischen komplexen Analysen und verständlicher Kommunikation.  Die zentrale Erkenntnis: Controller werden nicht zu reinen Datenexperten, sondern müssen ihre bewährte Rolle als Business Partner um technische Kompetenzen erweitern. Doch wo liegt die Balance zwischen Effizienz und organisatorischen Herausforderungen?  Darüber spricht ATVISIO-Geschäftsführer Peter Bluhm im Performance Manager Podcast mit Prof. Dr. Ulrike Baumöl von der Universität St. Gallen, Mitherausgeberin der Zeitschrift Controlling. 

Künstliche Intelligenz muss nicht komplex und teuer sein, um echten Mehrwert zu schaffen. Das beweist die Mehrer Compression GmbH eindrucksvoll: Das traditionsreiche Industrieunternehmen hat sein Servicegeschäft durch clevere KI-Anwendungen grundlegend transformiert – ohne teure Sensoren oder komplizierte Automatisierung. Mehrer Compression ist ein über 130 Jahre alter Spezialist für Kompressoren in Industrieanwendungen. Das Servicegeschäft macht die Hälfte des Umsatzes aus – war aber bisher rein reaktiv organisiert und damit nicht mehr zukunftsfähig. Anstatt auf vollautomatische Systeme zu setzen, wählte Mehrer einen schrittweisen Ansatz: Mit intelligenten Prognosemodellen können sie heute Service- und Ersatzteilbedarf vorhersagen. Das Ergebnis: deutlich bessere Lagerhaltung und optimierter Kundenservice. Jens Elfert, Bereichsleiter Finanzen und Personal bei der Mehrer Compression, berichtet über eine praxisnahe Geschichte digitaler Transformation im Mittelstand – ohne Buzzwords und mit konkreten Learnings für CFOs, Controller und IT-Verantwortliche.

Mexiko 1968: Dick Fosbury revolutioniert den Hochsprung, springt rückwärts – und gewinnt Gold. Was damals radikal neu war, ist heute Standard. Genau das Muster zeigt sich auch in der Business Intelligence (BI): Viele setzen noch auf alte Methoden – und scheitern an den heutigen Anforderungen. Wer mit BI wirklich Wirkung erzielen will, braucht: eine durchdachte Architektur echte Integration Klarheit bei Rollen, Kennzahlen und Prozessen  BI braucht einen Fosbury-Moment: Nicht höher springen – sondern völlig neu denken.

ATVISIO-Geschäftsführer Peter Bluhm hatte die Gelegenheit, mit einem der weltweit einflussreichsten Managementdenker zu sprechen: Prof. Dr. Hermann Simon, der einzige Deutsche in der „Thinkers50 Hall of Fame“. In der neuesten Folge des Performance Manager Podcasts diskutiert Peter Bluhm mit dem Chairman von Simon-Kucher & Partners über dessen neues Werk „Simon sagt! Was im Management wirklich zählt“ und erhält exklusive Einblicke in vier Jahrzehnten Beratungspraxis.  Das Buch hinter dem Gespräch  „Simon sagt!“ ist kein klassisches Managementbuch. Es entstand aus Notizen, die Hermann Simon über Jahrzehnte in Hotelzimmern, an Flughäfen und zwischen Beratungsterminen gesammelt hat. Das 352-seitige Werk behandelt 23 verschiedene Managementthemen. Von Führung über Digitalisierung bis hin zu Preisstrategien.  Führung bleibt ein Rätsel  Warum bleibt Führung trotz unzähliger Seminare und Bücher „ein mysteriöses Phänomen“? Hermann Simon erklärt sein Konzept der „zweimal geborenen“ Führer. Das sind Menschen, die zwar in Organisationen arbeiten, aber „nicht wirklich dazugehören“. Diese bewusste Distanz hilft ihnen dabei, Veränderungen anzustoßen, wo andere alles beim Alten lassen.  Bemerkenswert: Seine 10 Führungsthesen aus dem Jahr 2000 könnte er heute „nahezu unverändert“ vortragen. Eine davon sagte voraus, dass „Unternehmensführung der Führung in Freiwilligenorganisationen ähnlicher“ wird. Das war eine gewagte Prognose, die sich heute bestätigt hat - junge Talente suchen nach Purpose und Sinn in ihrer Arbeit.  Visionen versus Prognosen  Simon zeigt einen interessanten Widerspruch auf: Nur 15 Prozent aller Prognosen treffen ein, die Hälfte liegt „völlig daneben“. Trotzdem betont er die Macht von Visionen – wenn man sie aufschreibt, werden sie eher verwirklicht. Sind Visionen also etwas anderes als Prognosen? Simon erklärt dies am Beispiel von Werner Siemens, der als 17-Jähriger von „einem Weltgeschäfte à la Fugger“ träumte und diesen Traum später verwirklichte. Für Business Intelligence-Experten wie ATVISIO zeigt sich hier: Daten liefern Fakten, aber Visionen schaffen Zukunft.  Digitalisierung und verschenkte Chancen  Die Corona-Pandemie zeigte ein erstaunliches Phänomen: Technologien, die 20 Jahre lang ungenutzt blieben, wurden plötzlich zum Standard. Remote Work, digitale Zusammenarbeit, virtuelle Meetings – all das war längst verfügbar. Aber erst ein externer Schock führte dazu, dass alle diese Tools nutzen. Die Parallele zu Business Intelligence-Projekten ist offensichtlich: Wie viele andere technische Möglichkeiten lassen wir heute ungenutzt?  Besonders schwierig wird es bei künstlicher Intelligenz. CFOs und IT-Verantwortliche müssen heute Millionen in KI-Systeme investieren. Aber selbst Experten geben zu: „Es ist unmöglich zu sagen, wo wir in fünf oder zehn Jahren stehen.“ Simon beschreibt Experimente, bei denen ChatGPT Preisanalysen für Zahnpasta erstellt – mit durchaus brauchbaren Ergebnissen. Revolutioniert KI die Marktforschung oder ist das naive Technik-Euphorie?  Pricing als Königsdisziplin  Hermann Simon ist weltweiter Pricing-Experte und erklärt die Geheimnisse kontinuierlicher Preissteigerungen. Gillette schaffte es, mit jeder neuen Rasierergeneration deutlich höhere Preise durchzusetzen – für im Grunde dieselbe Funktion. Das Geheimnis liegt in der geschickten Kombination aus Innovation, Marketing und Wertkommunikation.  Gleichzeitig stellt Simon fest: Unternehmen kennen zwar die Weisheit „Den Preis vergisst man, die Qualität bleibt“. Trotzdem haben sie oft Schwierigkeiten, höhere Preise für höhere Qualität durchzusetzen. Aus vier Jahrzehnten Beratungspraxis hat Simon universelle Pricing-Prinzipien entwickelt – von der Kunst der Basarhändler bis hin zur BahnCard als Meisterstück der Preisdifferenzierung.  Das ewige Dilemma  Simon nennt das „ewige Dilemma zwischen Preis und Wachstum“ die „unternehmerische Herausforderung schlechthin“. Höhere Preise steigern den Gewinn, bremsen aber das Wachstum. Niedrigere Preise fördern das Wachstum, schaden aber der Marge. Die Lösung liegt in „raffinierteren Vorgehensweisen“ oder „extremer Kostenorientierung wie bei Ryanair“. Aber warum schaffen es so wenige Unternehmen, beides zu erreichen – profitabel zu wachsen?  Ein Buch für Praktiker  „Simon sagt!“ richtet sich an erfahrene Manager, Controller und Führungskräfte, die über Rezeptbücher hinausgewachsen sind.

(00:00) Exploring Careers at Golf Courses This chapter explores the appealing prospect of working at a golf course, especially for retirees seeking a productive yet enjoyable way to spend their time. We discuss the various roles available, from mowing fairways to managing the finer details around the course, and highlight the perks like free golf and a sense of pride in maintaining the greens. The conversation touches on the types of tasks that retirees might find rewarding, emphasizing their reliability and attention to detail. Personal anecdotes illustrate how retirees, like my father, have found fulfillment and joy in such roles, demonstrating how a part-time job at a golf course can blend work and play seamlessly. (09:44) Hiring and Training at Golf Courses This chapter addresses both job seekers and golf course operators, providing valuable insights into working at a golf course. We highlight the importance of personality and charisma for roles such as starters, who not only manage tee times but also serve as ambassadors for the club, creating memorable experiences for golfers. We share an entertaining anecdote about a former army drill sergeant turned starter, whose unique style made him unforgettable. Additionally, we emphasize the value of hiring personable marshals and player services staff who can enhance the golfing experience by assisting players and maintaining the pace of play. By prioritizing individuals with strong interpersonal skills, golf courses can foster a welcoming and engaging atmosphere that encourages repeat visits. (20:54) Enhancing Golf Course Culture This chapter explores innovative approaches to hiring and utilizing golf course employees, especially in light of regulations surrounding volunteer work and minimum wage standards. We share insights on how golf enthusiasts can engage in roles such as starters, marshals, and clubhouse staff, while enjoying the benefits of discounted or even free golf. The conversation highlights the importance of creating a welcoming culture at the golf course by employing personable and knowledgeable retirees and young professionals who interact directly with clients. Additionally, we discuss the operational efficiencies of separating the pro shop from the snack bar or restaurant, ensuring specialized and attentive service in both areas. Through these strategies, golf courses can enhance customer experiences and foster a friendly and efficient environment. (33:52) Tailoring Skills to Golf Course Roles This chapter explores the intricacies of working at a golf course and highlights the importance of matching personalities to roles within the golf industry. We emphasize that while skills are essential, a personable and affable demeanor is crucial for customer-facing positions, as golf courses are part of the entertainment business. We discuss how retirees with specific skill sets, such as math or organizational skills, can find valuable roles behind the scenes, allowing more personable employees to shine in customer interactions. Additionally, we provide insights on how individuals can approach potential employers by showcasing their unique strengths and suggesting how they can fill gaps in the existing team. We highlight the benefits of flexibility and availability, particularly for retirees, in ensuring that a golf course operates smoothly, even during less desirable hours. Ultimately, it's about creating a win-win situation for the staff, the customers, and the golf course itself. (42:53) Selling Yourself for Golf Course Jobs This chapter explores the importance of being an asset to a golf course when seeking employment. I emphasize the need for a positive attitude and a willingness to engage with people, as these are key to encouraging golfers to return, even if they experience minor irritations. We discuss how showcasing your personality and skills to a head pro can open doors, and I share the value of focusing on what you can contribute to the golf course rather than just what you can gain. The chapter highlights the social benefits of working at a golf course and encourages an approach centered on community and connection rather than self-interest.
