Robert Habeck, German Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, declared the early warning level of the Emergency Plan for Gas on 30 March 2022. In this blog post, we’d like to inform you of what this means for the security of supply in our country, what effects it can have on industry as well as private households, what the plan actually is and what processes it entails.

Sometimes people, organisations or companies that have gone through a long agile transition fall back into old habits. In our blog post, we will first define the term ‘agile regression’, identify the causes and triggers that can set off agile regression and then outline the signs that point to regression being imminent.

Above all, using green hydrogen as a sustainable and climate-neutral energy carrier may be the key to a more sustainable energy economy. In our blog post, you’ll find out why it’s more important than ever for policymakers to think beyond short-term actions.

For weeks, the issue of rising energy prices has been a constant presence in the media and the attack on Ukraine by Russian troops has now added to the urgency of the issue.

Digital twins are virtual duplicates of physical products. The use of such digital twins results in innovative ways to perform traditionally more time-consuming tasks, which has a direct impact on increasing the pace of innovation in the company. In my blog post, I explain how digital twins are already being used and what advantages these digital models have in mapping real processes.

The smart meter rollout has been causing some ambivalence in the energy sector for many years – a lot of hustle, a lot of work and, at the same time, a lot of standing still. If you believe the words of Arne Schönborn, President of the German Federal Office for Information Security (Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik, BSI), a milestone in the digitalisation of the energy transition has now been reached. In this blog post, we explain what this milestone is and what it means for the smart meter rollout seven years after the publication of the German Act on the Digitalisation of the Energy Transition (Gesetz zur Digitalisierung der Energiewende, GDEW).

If we know what our customers will want tomorrow, we can make them the perfect offer today. Unfortunately, this is rarely successful, and products are usually just ‘dumped’ on thousands of people at a time. In my blog post, I will explain how the next-best-action approach can help banks anticipate the needs of customers and the next steps that would be best for them.

In the first part of my blog post, I used a persona to derive the requirements of Generation Alpha for insurance providers. In this blog post, I will explain what the next generation of insurance customers values and how insurance providers can prepare for these demands and needs.
