It has now reached the general public. The retail sector is in a profound crisis. Stores are closing, sales are falling and, once again, industry representatives are good at blaming all kinds of circumstances. In reality, the only ones to blame for the misery are themselves. And, this much in advance, one could have foreseen…
I have actually made it a rule not to write about the relevant topics in the run-up to votes. This time I’m making an exception, because the debate on a new energy law, which is intended to give Switzerland a roadmap for savings and the use of renewable energies, could not be more disappointing.

Just a few years ago, it was good form for every consultant to publish a list of the 10 or 20 most important trends for the coming year at the end of the year. The quality of these lists varied enormously. While some were extremely carefully weighed up and researched, others were a banal collection…
For a long time in my professional life, I thought I had no mentors. And I gradually realized that this is not the case at all. On the contrary.

Many people think they are boring, played by the same old phrase-mongers and yet they keep going back. Because you can meet people there that you otherwise only know from Twitter & LinkedIn. However, there are many…

I recently “bumped into” my son (6) in the hallway in the middle of the night. We both happened to get up at the same time to drink some water. Quirky enough in itself. Then he starts: “Dad, I’ve just had a wonderful dream”. Me: “Great, what did you dream?” He: “That I’d get my…
