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. Hermann Simon bietet keine einfachen Antworten, sondern regt zum Nachdenken an. Das Werk verbindet die Erfahrung des Praktikers mit der Reflexion des Wissenschaftlers – eine seltene Kombination in der Managementliteratur.  Das Buch ist eine Fundgrube von Erkenntnissen, die nur jemand mit Simons einzigartiger Perspektive liefern kann. In einer Zeit schnelllebiger Management-Moden bietet "Simon sagt!" zeitlose Prinzipien aus einem halben Jahrhundert erfolgreicher Praxis.  Hier gelangen Sie zum Buch: https://www.murmann-verlag.de/products/hermann-simon-simon-sagt-was-im-management-wirklich-zahlt?srsltid=AfmBOoo295Qa87Pgj2ICv_7475L6sKkk1TjpYLlGv55J-LJwTKWUGD3z

In dieser Episode von "Expertise Unlocked" sprechen wir über den DAX Query View in Power BI und zeigen, wie dieses Werkzeug dabei hilft, Berichte gezielt zu analysieren und zu optimieren. Der DAX Query View ermöglicht es, die von Power BI automatisch erzeugten DAX-Abfragen hinter Visualisierungen einzusehen und so ein besseres Verständnis für die interne Arbeitsweise von Power BI zu gewinnen. Wir erläutern, wie die Analyse dieser Abfragen zur Verbesserung der Performance beitragen kann und welche Anpassungen – wie der Einsatz von Variablen oder strukturelle Änderungen in den Formeln – dabei besonders wirksam sind. Anhand eines Praxisbeispiels aus einem Kundenprojekt mit komplexen Lageranalysen zeigen wir konkret, wie der DAX Query View genutzt wurde, um Performance-Probleme zu identifizieren und gezielt zu beheben.  Darüber hinaus erfahren Sie, wie der gezielte Einsatz solcher Optimierungen nicht nur einzelne Berichte beschleunigt, sondern auch den Aufbau einer effizienten und zukunftsfähigen Power BI-Strategie unterstützt.

In dieser Folge von „Expertise Unlocked“ beleuchten wir, wie Excel und Power BI sich ideal ergänzen. Noch immer glauben viele, man müsse sich zwischen beiden Tools entscheiden – doch das ist überholt. Wir zeigen, wie bestehende Excel-Dateien als Datenquelle für Power BI-Dashboards genutzt werden können und warum bei wachsender Datenkomplexität ein alternatives Datenmanagement sinnvoll ist. Besonders spannend ist der umgekehrte Weg: Mit „verbundenen Tabellen“ visualisieren Sie Power BI-Daten in Excel. Die „Analyze in Excel“-Funktion erstellt eine Live-Verbindung zu Ihren Datasets. So nutzen Unternehmen ihre bestehenden Excel-Kompetenzen und erweitern sie um moderne Analyse- und Visualisierungsmöglichkeiten von Power BI.

(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.
