The German Civil Status Act (Personenstandsgesetz, PStG) was rewritten with effect from 1 January 2019. People who identify as non-binary must not be subjected to discrimination, and companies are obliged to implement the legal requirements set out in the legislation.

In this blog post, I will explain what exactly these legal requirements are, and which questions companies should be looking to answer.

Building an employer brand is mission-critical, especially when the job market is tight. In this blog post, I explain what you need to consider when it comes to employer branding and how a (fast-growing) company can take measures to remain competitive.

In order to be able to answer this and many other questions concerning the topic of agility in a company together with our customers, a working group from adesso’s ‘Agile’ Community of Practice has developed an interactive format for tracking agile teams and organisations – adesso’s Agile Assessment.

Are ecosystems that are described as such actually ecosystems, or are they rather platforms? In my blog post, I will first define the term ‘ecosystem’, present different ecosystems and describe what must be done to meet customers’ needs.

One solution to mitigate the energy crisis in Germany is its Ordinance on Securing the Energy Supply via Measures Effective in the Short Term (Verordnung über kurzfristige Energieeinsparmaßnahmen, EnSikuMaV). The purpose of the ordinance is to implement short-term energy-saving measures, particularly in residential and non-residential buildings. These regulations affect public enterprises, the energy, real estate and tourism industries as well as trade. We will explain the specifics of what this entails in our blog post.
