How can companies fully leverage the advantages of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI)?   GenAI offers a lot of opportunities for democratizing AI by providing immediately easy-to-use solutions to people without the need for specific development. Philippe Rambach, Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer at Schneider Electric, shares his expertise on leveraging AI for organizational success:   ➡ Opportunities in GenAI: Tools such as ChatGPT and Claude ai enhance man-machine interactions and knowledge access. However, a careful assessment before using GenAI is always key.   ➡ Aligning AI with business strategy: Start with the business need, not the technology. Ensure continuous alignment from strategy to execution for effective AI integration.   ➡ Preparing for the future: Educate and demystify AI for your team. Understanding AI's capabilities and limitations can relieve concerns and manage expectations.   Find out more and read the full interview on how organizations can make effective use of GenAI: https://lnkd.in/eKz_W7rV   #AI #Innovation #Strategy #GenAI #FutureReady

How can you successfully balance a consulting career and parenthood?🔄   As part of our Training Week, we hosted a special community event: our parents’ breakfast. This gathering provided an opportunity for the parents on our team, future parents or anyone interested, to connect and exchange insights on combining the passion for consulting work with the joys and challenges of parenthood.   In a supportive and open environment, our colleagues shared experiences, offered advice, and discussed strategies for successfully navigating the dual responsibilities of career and family.   We recognize the importance of maintaining a healthy work-life balance and are committed to supporting our team members in the best way possible so that they can thrive both professionally and personally.   #TrainingWeek #TeamSpirit #WorkLifeBalance

How can sustainability be firmly anchored in the corporate culture and made tangible throughout an entire company? 🌱 For Duravit AG, one of the world’s leading producers of designer bathrooms, sustainability has been an integral part of its DNA for two centuries now. Long-lasting products, careful use of resources, especially of water, and avoidance of carbon emissions are all part of everyday practice at the family-owned company. But that alone is not enough for Stephan Patrick Tahy, CEO at Duravit. In order to advance sustainability in the future and to make it the guiding principle for all the company’s actions and future challenges, he has anchored it in Duravit’s strategic corporate goals and brand values. The company’s sustainability strategy stands on the four pillars: water, climate, resources, and people. The CEO has set an ambitious target with regard to climate protection. Duravit wants to be entirely carbon neutral along its entire value chain by 2045. This is no small matter, because production plants for ceramics are still heavily dependent on gas as the fuel for heating their kilns. “Carbon neutrality by 2045 might not look very ambitious at first glance,” says Stephan Patrick Tahy. “But in fact it is, because reaching this goal requires a major technological advance. We have to define new ways of firing ceramics, and are in the process of putting a quantum leap into practice.” Find out more about Duravit’s sustainability efforts in the latest article in Porsche Consulting Magazine: https://lnkd.in/ef-XajWV #Sustainable #Ceramics #SustainableFuture #CO2 #CarbonNeutral

The battery sector is undergoing a revolutionary transformation into a €550 billion market by 2030, marking a significant increase from current levels with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 30-40%. 🔋   This growth will impact all aspects of the value chain and significantly influence the industry. The battery sector consists of interconnected players, including cell manufacturers, equipment and component makers, module and pack experts, materials suppliers, and other related companies. A pivotal success factor lies in horizontal integration, seamlessly connecting mining to cell production. The battery cluster thrives on the close collaboration among its diverse players, creating an ecosystem where innovation in materials and systems flourishes. The machinery & equipment industry plays a central role as the enabler, driving the entire cluster forward. European equipment manufacturers stand poised with relevant competencies, extensive know-how, robust capacities, and an enviable international reputation. Yet, their current global market share stands at a modest 8%. The key to unlocking exponential growth lies in seizing new opportunities, particularly in machinery for module and pack assembly. A targeted approach could catapult them to a market share of 20% or more by the end of the decade.

Affordable living is a priority for many governments around the world, and they have set ambitious targets to achieve it. However, the construction of real estate is too slow, too expensive and often doesn’t meet the demands of the customers. 🏗   The challenges of the construction industry range from an inefficient operating system to a high amount of material waste and emissions. They are rooted in a segmented and small-scale structure with low customer focus, old-fashioned ways of collaborating, and low adaption of digitalization and automation. In its analysis of the challenges and opportunities for innovating the construction sector, Porsche Consulting highlights 3 key learnings:    🌟 While other industries are scaling their productivity, the construction industry is still stuck in 1990.   🌟 Construction and operation of real estate are responsible for 37% of CO2 emissions globally. 🌟 Industrialized construction offers a way to meet demand in a sustainable way, not only in terms of cost, quality and time, but also as regards value for the tenants and investors. Find out more about how customer focus, AI, and automation can help to overcome challenges in the construction industry in the Porsche Consulting Impulse “Faster, Cheaper, Superior”: https://lnkd.in/eyctGrMY #Construction #Automation #Robotics #AI #CustomerFocus

Biosimilars mimic approved biologics with no significant safety or potency differences and are used for drugs based on living sources. They are usually cheaper and can be launched after the patent of the originator expires, creating a promising opportunity for pharma companies and reducing the cost pressure on healthcare systems.   In the last year, a wave of patents expired, including nine blockbuster drugs with a combined annual peak sales value exceeding $50 billion USD. This creates a vast opportunity for biosimilars. By 2030, the market is projected to reach a volume of $74 billion USD, with a CAGR of 18.5%. As patents continue to expire, the key biosimilars players are driving the exponential growth of the market. With an expanding portfolio of high-quality alternatives, they empower patients and healthcare providers to explore new horizons in treatment options. With a compound market share of 90%, the EU and the US are the core markets for this class of drugs. Japan takes the lead in the Asian market with additional 4% market share.    🔭 Looking ahead, the biosimilars market holds immense promise. It is projected to witness substantial growth, opening doors to enhanced patient access, cost savings, and continued advancements in healthcare. Biosimilars revolutionize the approach for treatments and pave the way for a more inclusive and sustainable healthcare ecosystem.   #Biosimilars #Healthcare #Innovation #LifeSciences #Pharma

Successful implementation of an ESG strategy requires an understanding of key factors. While there are many different influencing factors, 4 topics have emerged as particularly important. 🍃 ✅   🚀 Management board sponsorship It is fundamental for all companies to have board-level sponsorship for their ESG strategy: successful implementation must be reflected in the entire corporate culture, starting right at the highest management level. Therefore, clear communication of the importance of ESG to the organization is crucial.   👷♀️ Stakeholder engagement & cross-functional ESG team Engaging with stakeholders, such as investors, employees, customers, and suppliers, is important to understand expectations and concerns about ESG and to collectively achieve a shared vision. Further, it is not only about sustainability: due to the interdisciplinary nature of ESG, the commitment and involvement of all stakeholders is essential.   🌎 Material ESG issues & alignment to the business strategy Focus on company-relevant and material ESG issues, set ambitious targets and conduct KPI-based ESG management: concentrate on key areas where a real impact is possible and set ambitious targets in line with the corporate sustainability strategy. A tracking process via dedicated KPIs enables consistent ESG management and communication to the capital market and general public.   🧩 Data infrastructure, transparency & accountability To adequately assess a company's ESG status quo, the highest level of transparency is crucial: Companies need to report in a correct and consistent manner, which requires transparent communication of ESG targets, underlying metrics, and progress to the public. As companies are directly held accountable for achieving their ESG targets, a high level of KPI assurance is key.   #ESG #Sustainability #CorporateSocialResponsibility #ESGReporting
