How the DFB is Fueling Hype for the European Championship in Germany! ⚽ The recent announcement of the German National Team's squad for the upcoming European Championship took a surprising turn. Instead of the usual press conference, the DFB opted for a new approach: planned and widely distributed leaks.🎉 The names of the players were revealed gradually by a variety of "normal citizens" as well as celebrities. Participants included the TV channel RTL Group, the news program Ard Tagesschau pop stars like Nina Chuba, the museum Kunsthalle Frankfurt, and even a bakery in the Black Forest, all contributing to these strategically timed announcements.📢 The result? The campaign not only captured massive online attention and community engagement but also dominated media coverage, generating even more buzz. 🤯 This action is part of a series of unconventional measures by the DFB for this summer's home European Championship, including eye-catching pink jerseys and collectible NFTs. We are excited to see what else the DFB has in store this year to keep the hype for the European Championship alive in our country!🎉 Daniel Reto Philipp Roland Esterle Leonie Zeyen Inga-Målin Strohmeier Robert Waltke Sebastian Hicke Mario Walter Jung von Matt SPORTS UEFA #football #Europeanchampionship #marketing #innovation #leaks #NFT

💷 Success can not simply be "bought." Not meant to be a reference to Harry Kane - also pretty often applies to companies and economies. 👨🎓 Strategic #talent management pays out. 🥇 Successful team building - including looking into diversity and ultimately the right "chemistry" - is key for success. Brilliant article in the current issue of DER SPIEGEL - here`s a short excerpt which also deals with the question in how far the support of Bayer has been essential for this season`s awesome success of the #werkself. "For Simon Rolfes, work on the master plan began four years ago. At that time, Leverkusen sold the highly talented attacker Kai Havertz to London for an estimated 80 million euros. The club brought in a whole range of young talents in 2020 and 2021, including the high-flyer Florian Wirtz, now a national player, and planned their blossoming three years in advance. Last summer, striker Moussa Diaby went to Aston Villa for a reported €55 million. Rolfes says: "Kai Havertz's sale ensured that we were able to lay the foundation and build the ground floor; with Moussa it was then the roof and cladding. Of course, Leverkusen always benefited from support from the pharmaceutical company Bayer, which meant the club got through the Corona years better than many other clubs. But the football club owes the composition of the current squad primarily to its own foresight. In the past four years, Bayer 04 Leverkusen generated a transfer surplus of almost 15 million euros. Bayer 04 observed potential players to see how they behaved during training and warming up. Rolfes phoned those who had accompanied her on her journey. There were players who were a perfect fit physically, tactically or technically - but not personally, he says. In these cases, the club refrained from making a commitment." #teambayer https://lnkd.in/ei7rAxCS

The linking of combined transports is indispensable for an environment-friendly transport. A terminal is always also a hub. The supply of industry with raw materials, the transshipment of export goods, the basic supply of citizens with consumer goods. We present this mobility of goods togehter with the Port of Stuttgart. #tagderschiene #dpworld #sustainabletransportsolutions

Good news from Hamburg

Many thanks to Jean-Paul BERTEMES from Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR) for this great interview on how our prediction models for the EURO 2024 are built and what bigger purpose they serve. The interview, in German, allowed me to explain that the development of such prediction models, while extremely nice by themselves especially for me as football fan, also serve the bigger goal of having models that can be useful for issues in medicine or sustainability. Based on our original model for the World Cup 2018 with Andreas Groll, Gunther Schauberger and Hans Van Eetvelde, we have developed the concept of Statistically Enhanced Learning with my PhD student Florian F., Andreas Groll and Stéphane P.A. Bordas (FLSW) which is a general approach to enhance existing Machine Learning algorithms by means of statistically estimated covariates. The general increase in performance is quite significant.

Analysing, adopting and perfecting approaches and ideas. Focusing on the highest quality - with an extremely long-term approach that improves things step by step. And then, in the end, being virtually unbeatable with your own product as a close-knit team. These are approaches I know from Japanese companies. The following short documentary from German public television shows that this approach also works in Japanese football. Will they be world champions in 2050? I have little doubt that they will. ---

Football and Consulting have nothing in common... Or do they? ⚽️👩💻   At last week's Südwestmetall event in Stuttgart, the presentation by FIFA referee, Dr. Felix Brych, stood out. Despite our fields being worlds apart, his insights resonated with me. Here are my 3️⃣ takeaways:   1️⃣ "Partners on the Field": Just as in football, consultants often meet with individuals who hold more public and senior positions. Yet, for the success of the game or the project, it's essential to engage as equals.   2️⃣ "Courage to Move Forward": Stepping onto the field is no easy task for a referee. At this point, there's no turning back. Similarly, in crucial client meetings, the greatest value comes from having the courage to openly address sensitive topics, like challenges and risks.   3️⃣"Focus Brings Structure. Structure Brings Security. (…)": To make the right decisions, a referee needs 150% focus, tuning out distractions. Similarly, as a consultant, this focus is vital to avoid getting lost in analysis paralysis and concept work and instead deliver true client value.   Additionally, this event reaffirmed the importance of conversation and exchanging diverse perspectives. My thanks to Südwestmetall for connecting so many interesting people (Jens Schmitz Bernd Stockmann David Toczek @Bernd Hahn & others). And of course, thanks to Cem Özdemir, Federal Minister of Food and Agriculture, for your speech... and our selfie! 😉
