    #Congratulations to Martin Jende, Member Executive Board Deutsche Bahn Fernverkehr AG ("Employees are the company's most valuable asset") on being inducted into the Roll of Future and honored by the #HallofFuture - the non-profit organization shaping the future of business. 👏 Since November 2023, the Hall of Future has celebrated five dozen exceptional individuals. The organization is committed to driving Quality Economy forward - a new economic paradigm that complements traditional quantitative approaches in macroeconomics, microeconomics, and business economics by emphasizing sustainable and meaningful growth. It was a pleasure to recognize outstanding individuals - most analog, all digital - who typically view the award not as the culmination of a life’s work, but as a new beginning. In the coming days, I’ll be introducing more honorees. 💪 Together, the member companies represented by these individuals employ nearly two million people across over 150 countries and generate close to one trillion euros in annual revenue. 🎆 ABOUT THE FOUNDATION The Hall of Future is a charitable non-profit organization dedicated to shaping the economy of tomorrow. It promotes the Quality Economy, that unites visionary goals with practical implementation expertise. 🎆 ABOUT QUALITY ECONOMY The Quality Economy is a new form of growth economy - one that fosters not only economic performance, but also human development, environmental responsibility, and sustainable prosperity. By focusing on this, Qualitative Economists achieve stronger quantitative outcomes: Not in spite of their mindset, but because of it! 🎆 ABOUT THE MEMBERS Membership is granted exclusively by being honored. Qualitative Economists are success-driven and value-based, visionary and pragmatic, optimistic and grounded.

    #QualityEconomy is an emerging, forward-thinking field. It broadens the traditionally quantitative focus of economics by introducing new perspectives -people-centered, ethically grounded, and oriented toward long-term sustainability. Not despite, but precisely because of this mindset, qualitative economists generate better quantitative key figures. This #book brings together diverse voices from academia, business, politics, society, technology, and law. Each contribution offers a distinct #perspective on what defines Quality Economy - one that seeks growth and shared prosperity, ecological balance, and human development. A unifying element - the #Thread of Quality Economy - runs throughout the book. It serves as a source of reflection, a platform for dialogue, and a guiding thread through the complexities of our time. More than a mere compilation, this volume is a call for new economic thinking -and a contribution to shaping a #future-ready, life-centered economy. The book concludes with a series of interviews with renowned #personalities, offering additional depth and inspiration: Tim Meyerjürgens Dr. Brigitte Mohn Tina Müller Dr. Andreas Nauerz Andreas Ronken Belgin Rudack Sebastian Schels Astrid Schulte  Dr. Tobias #Schulz-Isenbeck Peter #Schwarzenbauer Frank #Seipelt Dr. Florian Stetter Thomas Stewens Frank Theis Frank Thelen Christian Thess Dr. Michael Trautmann Gert Waltenbauer Nicola Winter Thomas Wuensche Read more

    #Wasserstoffwirtschaft – Deutsche und japanische Geschäftsmodelle für die Zukunft: Heute bin ich auf dem #WirtschaftstagJapan in #Düsseldorf. Die engen wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Beziehungen zwischen NRW (vor allem Düsseldorf) und Japan sind faszinierend. Das Handelsvolumen zwischen NRW und Japan wird auf 8,8 Mrd. Euro geschätzt. Düsseldorf ist Top-Investitionsstandort für japanische Unternehmen in Kontinentaleuropa und die rund 650 japanischen Unternehmen in Nordrhein-Westfalen beschäftigen fast 50.000 Arbeitnehmer und Arbeitnehmerinnen. Diese Austauschformate sind immer wieder wichtig, um gegenseitiges Verständnis zu schaffen.

Questions from our
CEO's daughter.

Prof. Bernd Thomsen regularly glimpses the future with his young daughter for the Handelsblatt. She was only three years old when our CEO began answering her probing questions (which she asked when she wasn't playing hide-and-seek with her friend) within the business and financial newspaper.

They assist us in acquiring the knowledge of tomorrow for the success of our clients today.

Metaversity.

Interest in a digital parallel world, in real time.

Digital clones of everyone and everything. Fashionable as RayBan, these glasses will not only replace smartphones, but also blur reality and fiction: The metaverse will revolutionize the world and shape a new one: Students will be able to talk to Caesar, colleagues will appear as holograms in meetings, and designers will help you shop from the comfort of your own home.

Lifelong, practice-oriented, granular-level education.

In the future, people won’t pursue a singular profession, but five or more. Skills and abilities will become paramount, replacing the necessity of diplomas. Education will be more holistic and oriented towards practical knowledge. Concentrating on concise, specialized training meets economic requirements, but does it foster personal development? (Important for a complex world.)

Abilitization.
Moved Life.

Almost everything happens in motion.

From turning pages to scrolling: This changed the primary movement of the hand. In the future, though, it will be normal for the whole body to be in motion. As mobility increases, movement will become a peripheral concern. Cars are an important consideration – Many are still drawn to their outward appearance. In the future, however, their interior function will take priority. Coffee cars (instead of Starbucks on the corner) is just one example.

Skills associated with femininity are essential leadership competencies.

Our ever-changing world requires new competencies, skill, and abilities: particularly collaboration and conflict resolution. Pro-social tendencies, such as empathy, are still cultivated through gender-specific upbringing. Regardless of gender, these skills are becoming increasingly important in management.

Shebility.
Iconic Health.

Health is the new religion.

The most intangible commodity is becoming more and more important. And holistic approaches are gaining popularity. The top five: Fresh air (5), nutrition (4), interest in and knowledge of health (3), exercise (2), and happiness (1). Health creates a sense of purpose. From repairing medicine to, on a personal level, generating empowerment and proaction.

Responsibility is on the rise.

More and more people are adopting a change in attitude – seeing the importance of individual action and how it affects the greater good. Responsibility has gained a more prominent position in the value chain. Companies solely invested in their own self-interest and internal growth will face problems down the line. Those who commit to positive change will come out on top.
