Design thinking is an approach that we embrace here at Excelsior. We believe that this mindset helps us create products and experiences that truly meet the needs of our users.

At its core, design thinking is about empathy and understanding. We start by seeking to understand our users' needs and pain points, and we use this information to guide our design decisions. This means that our designs are not just based on assumptions but are grounded in real-world user behavior.

One of the key benefits of design thinking is its focus on iteration. We know that creating a successful product is not a one-and-done process. Instead, we approach our designs with a mindset of constant iteration and improvement. This allows us to test and refine our designs until we are confident that they will deliver the best possible user experience.

Design thinking is also a collaborative process. We encourage cross-functional teams to work together and share their perspectives, allowing us to create designs that are well-rounded and thoughtful. We believe that this collaborative approach leads to more innovative and effective solutions.

Overall, we believe that design thinking is a powerful approach that helps us create products that truly meet the needs of our users. We are committed to using this approach in all of our design work and are always looking for ways to improve and refine our process.

⁣Too often decisions regarding what features to develop for a banking app are done by trusting a gut feeling or by roughly copying what is seen on the market. ⠀


Sometimes this seems to work ok - but too often, and this is what we see in real applications, this leads to wasted investments on features that do not impact customer satisfaction or earning potential. ⠀


We at Excelsior have developed a method that not only does a deep analysis of a banking Apps feature set, but also calculates precisely what features are missing to reach the desired customer satisfaction and what the implementation of said features will cost you. With this method the investments in mobile feature development can be optimized strategically based on the profit/loss calculation.

We feel so lucky to work alongside someone as impressive as Timo Kuttenkeuler. He started his career as an electrician, but with hard work and determination, he made his way into the world of IT and programming. He worked his way up the ranks at DresdnerBank and Commerzbank, eventually becoming a senior product manager and product owner.

In his free time, Timo is always exploring new things, from machine learning and AI to cooking up delicious pizza and waffle creations for his colleagues at Excelsior. He even hosts cookouts for his project teams to try out new recipes. And when he's not busy in the kitchen, you might find him playing multiplayer online games with colleagues or dabbling in golf.

But what truly sets Timo apart is his love for working with people. He thrives on diversity and the chance to investigate ideas from different angles. At Excelsior, he's found a community of colleagues that he truly cherishes.

Thank you for being an inspiration to us all, Timo. We're lucky to have you on our team!

One of the special challenges facing HR in a modern company is to adapt the operational structures to the company and to ensure that they grow with the company. In software development - as in many other areas - agile methods are the central management tool. The emphasis is on flexibility, collaboration, and the ability to rapid iteration.

For HR, this development results in the need to evolve from conventional, often ponderous processes to agile human resource management. For those responsible for HR, this results in new challenges. For example, supporting cross-functional teams gains in importance: Agile teams are often cross-functional, bringing together individuals from different disciplines to work towards a common goal. HR professionals need to be able to identify the right talent for these teams and create processes that support collaboration and communication. Also, increasingly important becomes continuous learning: Agility requires a culture of continuous learning and improvement. HR professionals can support this by providing training and development opportunities that help employees stay current and adapt to changing circumstances. HR must also be open-minded regarding embracing new technologies and fostering a culture of innovation: Agile methodologies often rely on new technologies, such as project management software or collaboration tools. HR professionals need to be comfortable with these tools and able to help employees use them effectively. Furthermore, agile teams thrive on innovation, and HR professionals can help create an environment that encourages experimentation and risk-taking.

Finally, the necessity to manage change remains to be mentioned. Agility means being able to adapt quickly to new circumstances. HR professionals need to be able to manage change effectively, whether it's changes to team structures or shifts in project priorities. Overall, an agile work environment demands a more strategic and adaptive approach to HR management. By embracing this new approach, businesses can create a more dynamic and responsive workforce that is better equipped to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing world.

Communicating effectively within a team made up of individuals from different companies can be challenging, but it is essential for the success of the project. One key strategy is to establish clear lines of communication from the beginning of the project. This may involve setting up regular meetings or check-ins, as well as identifying key points of contact for different aspects of the project. These regular touchpoints can help ensure that everyone is on the same page and that any issues or concerns can be addressed in a timely manner.

Another important aspect of communication is to establish a shared understanding of the project's goals and objectives, as well as the roles and responsibilities of each team member. This can be achieved through regular team meetings, team building activities and clearly defined project plans. Additionally, it is important to be mindful of any cultural differences or communication styles that may exist among team members from different companies and to make adjustments as needed. This can include providing translations or making sure that key information is communicated in multiple languages if necessary.

It is also crucial to create a culture of trust and respect within the team. This can be done by promoting open and transparent communication, actively listening to team members and valuing their contributions, and being open to feedback. Trust and respect are essential for creating a positive and productive working environment that encourages collaboration.

Finally, it is important to establish clear communication channels, such as shared documents, chat platforms or project management tools, to ensure that all team members are able to access and share important information in a timely and organized manner. By taking a proactive approach to communication and working to build trust and a sense of shared purpose among team members, it is possible to effectively collaborate and achieve success despite the challenges that may arise when working with individuals from different companies.

⁣For Product development there is a need for immersive sprint demos in agile development. This is a more Hands on demonstration of the work completed during a sprint, where team members showcase their progress and accomplishments to stakeholders, including customers, product owners, and other members of the development team. ⠀

The goal of the immersive demo is to provide a hands-on, interactive experience that allows stakeholders to engage with the work and provide feedback. The demo also helps to build trust and alignment among team members and stakeholders, and it can help to identify and address any issues or roadblocks in the development process. Overall, immersive sprint demos are an important aspect of agile development, as they help to ensure that the team is moving in the right direction and that the end product will meet the needs of customers and stakeholders. ⠀

Following this plan we showcased the progress of our Menu Ordering App to the company today by creating a made-up Restaurant that served Waffles with different selectable toppings. The Demo Guests had to use the App to order their individual Waffle, showcasing the interaction between Frontend App, Backend Cloud service and Restaurant Hardware End-2-End. Our Product Owner volunteered to be the Chef and used it to get hands on experience with the Devices.⠀
