My new German newsletter will be out in the next few days! For me, too, the topic of sustainability in business is taking a back seat. Russia’s brutal war of aggression against innocent Ukraine moves us all. This had far-reaching consequences for me: I resigned from my posts as co-chairman of the German Agribusiness Alliance,… Continue reading Perspectives on sustainable business: A newsletter with added value

On April 5th, I want to dare: I throw myself into the crowd at the exhibition center in Berlin, but with an FFP2 mask!

The Russian Federation’s war of aggression against Ukraine means a fundamental paradigm shift for us.

As part of my honorary posts as co-chair of the German Agribusiness Alliance and Russia spokesman for German agriculture, I was a member of the high-ranking delegation of the Eastern Committee of German Business in 2017 and 2019 in dialogue with President Putin and large parts of the Russian government.

My interlocutor can also look back on an unbelievable… Continue reading Generational change: Supporting the letting go of the founding senior with coaching?

I am pleased that I can once again accompany a start-up company. This time not as the founder’s coach, but as a strategy consultant in market and organizational development.

Now it… Continue reading Strategy development for start-ups: Does the good old SWOT process work if nothing exists?

The German Future Commission of Agriculture (FCA), with its members from all sectors of agriculture, NGOs and science, recommends that chemical plant protection will be eliminated in the medium term and replaced. The Industrieverband-Agrar, the association of the pesticide manufacturers, also publicly supports this statement.   It would be presumptuous to give the multi-nationals, that… Continue reading The future of crop protection: FCA sets standards

The time has come next week: my third newsletter will be published! The topic of sustainability in business is on everyone’s lips. The focus of the discussion is the implementation of the content. But what does it do to people when a farm or a company changes its economy sustainably? In the newsletter I’ll report… Continue reading Perspectives on sustainable business: A newsletter with added value

Yes, the statements of the Future Commission for Agriculture (FCA) on the future of plant nutrition are headlines. If you consider that these were decided unanimously by the commissioners from all interest groups in our agricultural sector, then the statements are groundbreaking for the future of our soils! The visionary goals of everyone in our… Continue reading Future of the fertilizer industry: Does the German Future Commission Agriculture show the industry the way?
