Recently german automakers are having hard times: innnovation is stalling, electrification is not consequent enough – all in all: they will lose the race for future mobility, they say. But will they?
I’ve seen BMW from the inside from 2010 to 2015 when I was working on different digitalization projects for MINI and BMW (the still online webconfigurator was one of it). And even back then BMW was astonishing far ahead of many other big companies I knew, eg. in agility adoption. I think, there’s a difference in the „nerdy and cool“ Tesla attitude and the german engeneering art. Don’t underestimate the latter. I just stumbled upon a GUI for Element in picture recognition based on Tensorflow, written by BMW, released on Github.
I know, they are nailing it. And if they realese it – it just works. BMW thinks in quality above time. Their strategy to OpenSource AI components is part of their innovation program. Maybe they want to acquire new talent by this – maybe they just show a glimpse of the massive AI powered production line they have 😉
Somebody on the Twitterverse recently wrote „build notion for…“ will become a standard term. I usually don’t like these „uber for“ comparisons, but in this case there’s a point. notions power comes from its ever growing templates gallery. I see a market where you could say: „our working-template for…
is XXX. And you as a customer don’t need to reinvent the wheel anytime you start a campaign. Make these work-templates best in class by getting the „rockstars“ of that vertical on bord and there’s a shortpath to marketdomination.
Pro Tip: start implementing these work-templates by using virtual assistants from my-vpa 😉
Wie man es auch nennen mag, ob Remote Work, Mobiles Arbeiten oder Telearbeit. Dahinter steckt: ein oder mehrere Mitarbeiter, die räumlich und ggf. zeitlich ungebunden sind und in einem Team zusammenarbeiten (sollen). Der Klebstoff, der das zusammenhält ist Kommunikation.
Wir bei my-vpa sind ein 100% Remote Team und deswegen haben meine Kollegen*innen mal ein paar Best Practice Regeln in einem Guide für Remote Work Kommunikation aufgeschrieben. Finde ich lesenswert und echt hilfreich. Wer seine Email Adresse hinterlässt, kann sich das Whitepaper hier herunterladen und bekommt im Anschluss noch ein paar weitere Tips. Macht mal!

When it comes to company building, core questions to be answered are:
During my research for impulses to these questions, I found progression.fyi a valubale source of inspiration to different, yet transparent apporoaches.
Most notably, all represented companies offer an open-approach to your career path. I find that a smart move to show potential new colleagues their way through the companies „hierarchy“ even before they actually start.
For us I can imagine a kind of career matrix:
So this approach mainly values the contributions each collegaue adds to the company, being it as a simple contributor, but highly skilled, or being it at managing an integrated team, but on another technical skill level.
Meaning: a collegau ebeing pisitoined in square C3 adds a similar value to the company as a collegaue in square A3 and thus is being compensated in the same way.
„Technicial“ in this context can mean all disciplines, being it marekting, HR, finance or sales.
This is still work in progress and not yet implemented at my-vpa.
