In this blog post, I will first present the system of grid charges for electricity and gas grid operators in Germany and the influence that grid fees have on the price of gas for household customers. I will then explain why I believe that grid fees (and thus also the gas price) will rise. Finally, I will offer a prediction of what a financial relief package can and cannot provide and what consequences consumers and grid operators should take away from this.

Servant leadership is a modern leadership philosophy that focuses on the well-being of employees and achieving goals. It sees managers primarily pursue the idea of standing by their employees and supporting them in their development instead of relying solely on authority and control. I will explain exactly what this looks like in my blog post.

Personalised customer experiences have become a must for businesses and artificial intelligence (AI) can help them reach a whole new level.

When it comes to the digitalisation of sales and marketing processes, companies are now looking into the rollout of a marketing automation tool.

The transition from parental leave back to work is a challenging time for many young mothers.

Smartphones have been an integral part of our everyday lives for many years now. They are always there when we need them and make day-to-day life easier, whether at work or in our free time. For an app to gain users, it has to be promoted and downloaded. In this blog post, I will be taking a look at an example involving a real customer to show you which channels can be used to market an app and what advantages and disadvantages they each have.

Reports and key performance indicators (KPIs) create transparency that is of great use for many departments at a company. Using dashboards is recommended since they are a cost-effective tool for grid operators in view of the limited budgets available to them. In our blog post, we will be focusing on dashboards that provide grid operators with business and financial KPIs.

The new EU regulation to strengthen digital operational resilience aimed at financial entities – also known as DORA – has been in force since 17 July 2023, though firms will be given a two-year window to comply with its rules. This new regulation places heavy demands on many companies. In my blog post, I will explain which companies are affected and what they have to do now.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has started receiving bad publicity since Midjourney and ChatGPT came on to the scene. Not only are the ethical and economic implications of large-scale AI models the subject of much discussion, concerns about their environmental impact are getting louder, too. With that in mind, I will use this blog post to explore the question of how sustainable AI really is and – spoiler alert – what we need to do to make AI more sustainable. You will also learn why training the models is not the biggest problem from an environmental standpoint.
