Reducing gas consumption in the energy sector
In July 2022, an amendment to the Energy Industry Act (Energiewirtschaftsgesetz, EnWG) laid the groundwork for reducing gas consumption in the electricity sector, this being done in the backdrop of an impending natural gas shortage. Sections 50a to 50e of the Act seek to increase the amount of electricity generated with coal and oil, while Sections 50f to 50h introduce measures to reduce the amount of electricity produced using gas and increase flexibility in gas supplies. But how can this be achieved?

Self-service portals for the energy sector
The energy sector is in a constant state of cultural change.

From the mission statement with OKRs to everyday operations
In my last blog post, I summarised why a company should have a mission statement, my understanding of it and how you can use key questions to develop such a mission statement. Now it is a matter of operationalising the mission – in other words, taking specific action without losing focus. This is where the objectives and key results (OKRs) come into play. I will describe what all this is about in my blog post.

Navigation for your website
Do you remember when we did not have navigation devices? We would chart the route on a map or an atlas, but did not always end up where we wanted to go. Thankfully we now have services such as Google Maps. In most cases, we are shown many different route options, since there are many ways to reach your destination. This is the same case with websites. In this blog post, I would like to show you what different types of site navigation there are and what things you need to consider to ensure that your customers do not end up on another site.
