I am naive. A “do-gooder” daydreamer. A trivializer. My somewhat too quick and direct answer after a presentation to the question of how I would assess the new right-wing populism got me a lot of flak. It felt like I got more emails and messages afterwards than there were people in the room that evening.
In the twilight of the electric car era, the discussion about electric cars is slowly but surely shifting to the wider public. At the same time, the discussion is heating up. The debate is driven by vested interests, misconceptions and assumptions. What many do not know: This debate is completely normal. Technological paradigm shifts have…
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. It…
Electromobility is developing rapidly almost everywhere on the planet. Only Germany, measured against its size, is lagging behind. As a result, the shift towards simpler and more cost-effective individual mobility is not being recognized in Germany. On the other hand, despite their international orientation, this is deceiving German car manufacturers. However, there are very simple…
For some time now, I have been observing an increasingly negative attitude towards digital conferences among many people. 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…

The resulting debate about the role of the traditional media could not be more absurd and…
If you are on social media, you may have noticed it in passing. On Tuesday this week, a small event called #unerhoert took place. As many people have asked me and my colleagues about it over the last two days, it makes sense to tell the unspectacular story behind it here.
Every week I get requests from companies: Ms. XY, the assistant to CEO XZ, would like to politely ask if an interview with him would be a great thing for you, my readers. You would of course pay me. Or, for example, “Tom”, who constantly sends me invitations to some paid events for weeks, which…
I struggled with myself to even write this article. Because political articles don’t belong in this blog. Not because I don’t want to offend one political party or another, no. But because I consider politics to be considerably disruptive to social development. What follows could be seen as a political article. However, it is once…
Admittedly, the title is a little too pointed. Recently, I have often been asked by representatives of the insurance industry what impact digitalization will have on them. On the one hand, there is the mandatory range of online tools and communication channels that need to be digitized. On the other hand, I believe that the…
