🎥 In the consulting landscape, family businesses are different. Why? Time for a look behind the scenes of Kienbaum. ❗ SMEs are the backbone of our economy. But who or what is actually behind this? 🏢 Although many family businesses are medium-sized companies, not all medium-sized companies are necessarily family businesses. But regardless of how you look at it, the figures stick: A good nine out of ten private companies in Germany belong to the family business category, in which almost 60 percent of private sector employees work. 💡 The fact that family businesses are a special feature in consulting for various reasons prompted us to provide insights into our everyday consulting work in a new documentary. 🎬 The series "The Mittelstand" has set itself the goal of making the importance of medium-sized companies as drivers of innovation and growth for our business location accessible to a broad audience. In addition to companies such as FRoSTA AG or HANSA-FLEX AG, we were accompanied for a year by a film team from the production company Kinescope Film GmbH under the direction of Leonard Geßner. 👉 CLICK HERE FOR THE DOCUMENTARY: https://lnkd.in/esaZzZBS

Der Glasfasertechnologie gehört eindeutig die Zukunft, aber wieso können die Verbraucher das nicht erkennen? Over the past decade, data volume on German landline networks has surged 14-fold, with monthly usage expected to double by next year. A reason for this is the increase in kids (and Adults) gaming, streaming videos on the web and a large majority of people working from home. In the marketing phases of the rollout, fibre providers have ramped up spending to reach a wider audience and get more households signed up for a fibre connection, but so far it's not been enough. How can fibre providers campaign more effectively and get more households connected? #HomesConnected #Glasfaserausbau #ftth #FiberOptics #Broadband #TechInnovation #Germany #InternetInfrastructure #ConsumerTech #SustainableTech #FutureOfConnectivity

Gestärkte Widerstandskraft dank Resilienz: https://lnkd.in/eXtEkp6E Unternehmen, die in unserer von zunehmender Volatilität, Unsicherheit, Komplexität und Ambivalenz (VUCA) geprägten Welt langfristig bestehen wollen, sollten eine hohe Resilienz haben oder diese jetzt aufbauen. Das gilt ebenso für Firmen und Organisationen mit ihren Systemen wie für deren Mitarbeitende, denn beide arbeiten Hand in Hand. Für Unternehmen bedeutet das eine Anpassung von Strukturen und Prozessen. Die Resilienz der Mitarbeitenden lässt sich durch die gezielte Förderung von Schutzfaktoren wie Optimismus, Selbstwirksamkeit und Achtsamkeit unterstützen. Das stärkt die Widerstandskraft sowie den konstruktiven Umgang mit Veränderungen und reduziert die Stressbelastung. 💡Mehr zum Thema Resilienz erfahren Sie am 18. September 2024 an der Nationalen Tagung für betriebliches Gesundheitsmanagement: www.bgm-tagung.ch #GesundheitsförderungSchweiz #Gesundheitsförderung #PublicHealth #PsychischeGesundheit #BetrieblichesGesundheitsmanagement #BGM #NewWork #HomeOffice

When we encounter people in our daily lives, it’s easy to make quick judgments based on surface-level impressions. However, every person carries a unique story, shaped by experiences, challenges, and dreams that we may never fully understand. What we know about someone’s life is often just a small fragment of their reality. We see the outer layer – their appearance, their job, their social interactions – but beneath lies a complex tapestry of emotions, histories, and aspirations. Each smile, each word, each action is influenced by factors we may never see: the struggles they've faced, the triumphs they've achieved, the losses they've endured. Empathy and kindness become crucial when we acknowledge the limited scope of our understanding. By recognizing that we only see a part of someone’s journey, we can approach others with greater compassion and patience. This mindset fosters deeper connections and a more supportive community, where people feel seen and valued beyond superficial judgments. Next time you interact with someone, take a moment to consider the vastness of their unseen world. A kind word, a listening ear, or a simple gesture of respect can make a profound difference. After all, everyone's life is a rich narrative, deserving of understanding and appreciation.

Karriere- und Leadership-Tipps vom besten CEO der Welt Frank Slootman hat mit Data Domain, Service Now und Snowflake drei milliardenschwere Softwarefirmen hochskaliert und an die Börse gebracht. Er gilt als bester Software-CEO der Welt. Das sind die top Karrieretips aus seinem Buch AMP IT UP. "We all need to be careful what “elevator” we get into early in our careers. Some go up, some go down, some don't move. It's largely beyond our control, so choose wisely. We have seen staggering examples of this phenomenon in Silicon Valley. Anybody who spent the last 20 years at Google, Amazon, or Apple would have done spectacularly well, regardless of their individual merit. And anyone who stayed with companies like IBM and HP would have stagnated during that period." "We coped in ways I have used ever since: hire people ahead of their own curve. Hire more for aptitude than experience and give people the career opportunity of a lifetime. They will be motivated and driven, with a cannot‐fail attitude. The good ones would grab the opportunity to accelerate their careers with us." "I would sometimes say in all‐hands meetings that I was personally committed to help each of our employees reach a different station in life as a function of the company's fortunes. In exchange, I was asking for the best they had to offer. That was the deal: we do the best we can for each other. People sometimes gave me an incredulous look: a CEO who is saying that his goal is to elevate our fortunes? Seriously? Yes, and our companies proved it. Sometimes years after a staffer had moved on, I would still receive an email expressing their appreciation for how much our company had changed their life's trajectory." "Not everyone has this visceral sense of contest, especially at companies that shield their people from the real stakes at hand. When leaders fail to explain the industry landscape, employees don't feel the cold winds of competition. Their jobs and paychecks feel secure, but that's an illusion. Good leaders explain that none of us are ever truly safe in our roles for any length of time. If this fact makes people uncomfortable, that's good."

📈📊 Second quarter brought further gains in equity markets. As we are heading into the summer break, we don’t expect much change given no exogenous event. The fall may bring new challenges especially as everyone will focus on the actions of Fed and the US elections. Further views in our quarterly investment report.

#doktorIP recommended read (in German language only) for anyone interested in German #tradesecret law by Stefan Maaßen and Melissa Widder. Same is true for Oliver Löffel's initial comment here on #LinkedIn https://lnkd.in/dgPhBj2h The question of how much information can be kept in human memory (w/o having to rely on any written notes and/or documentation) remains a recurring question in trade secret law. The German Federal Supreme Court may recently have added another piece of guidance to this riddle of trade secret law. Some quotes from the decision: "However, the factual instances did not clearly take into account the submission that not only three, but at least ten customer accounts were accessed from the computer of defendant 2 and that there were more than 300 individual accesses." "The use of 10 user names and passwords amounting to 80 random characters alone would suggest that there was a recording and not a simple memorization." See full text of decision (BGH, decision of 2 May 2024, case ref. I ZR 96/23) here: https://lnkd.in/da57M9tB However, the decision IMHO should overall not be misunderstood or overinterpreted as a generalized rule of thumb. The case constellation is rather special and the presentation in the civil proceedings is peppered with findings from parallel criminal investigations. Significantly more than many case constellations have to offer in practice... _______________________ We do #IntellectualProperty / #patent / #tech  #law and litigation as well as SoftIP (TM/design) prosecution at GvW Graf von Westphalen Dr. Gabriel Wittmann (doktorIP) Dr. Sebastian Heim Jörg Khöber, LL.M.
