“It’s on me to role model using AI for my team. I invest money in it because I want employees to learn how to use it. This is our responsibility at Siemens, to bring everyone on the AI journey.”
Alexander Senn is Head of People & Organization at Siemens Smart Infrastructure. And in this episode, Alex and host Nicole Alvino discuss employee engagement and organizational culture. Alex shares insights about his role overseeing people and organizational development within Siemens’ smart infrastructure division. Key topics include employee segmentation for improved experience, the role of leadership in transformation journeys, and the use of AI for productivity and innovation. Alex also shares the concept of the ‘Rhino View’ to highlight different perspectives in decision-making, and stresses the importance of open communication and continuous leadership development. Lastly, the conversation touches on balancing technological tools with human interaction to foster a high-performing and engaged workforce at Siemens.
” We’re in the midst of a transformation journey to become one tech company. And we want to work with the people together to create the best Siemens for the future. And now we’re working with the people close to the topics. We take them on board, we listen, and they can also co-create with us together the new Siemens. This is also a new way of empowering, taking people on board early.”

”[During transformations,] communicating is really important. Keep your ears and eyes open and create platforms where people can then give feedback, share what they have read and what they’ve heard. We need to listen to people who are concerned but also to the people who are positive and looking into the change and helping.”
