How to Adapt to the Digital Age
summary
Claim: a 170‑year company must adapt or risk being gone in 10 years; digitalization will cut value chains in half across energy, mobility and healthcare. Plan: create innovation H, a company‑within‑a‑company for advanced robotics, mass storage and molecular diagnostics that pairs startup freedom with Siemens resources (255 patent lawyers, global market access). Example: a digital simulation tool makes a bespoke golf club at near mass‑production cost — lot size one sold at three times the price. Ownership culture and smart‑grid work follow.
