Kommentar: Der blinde Fleck bei der Vergütung von Dax-Vorständen

In den Vergütungssystemen fehlt eine eigenständige, explizite Kennzahl. Das ist entlarvend. Es ist deshalb nun an den Aufsichtsräten der Dax-Konzerne zu handeln.

Kommentar: Der blinde Fleck bei der Vergütung von Dax-Vorständen

For three years now, discussions have centered on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its potential to transform businesses and augment human intelligence. Yet, an analysis of the compensation packages for DAX-40 executives reveals that there is no standalone, explicitly AI or digitalization-related metric with its own weighting in any of these systems.

Consequently, CEOs of the largest listed companies have no financial incentive to develop and implement comprehensive AI strategies. This lack of incentives has led to unclear and uncoordinated efforts across many companies, which is both unfortunate and revealing. These missing incentives illustrate the confusion and lack of coordination that still prevail in many organizations.

While everyone talks about AI, experiments with various applications have been conducted, and projects have been commissioned or even initiated internally. However, the outcomes are mostly extensive efforts and expenditures that have not led to significant benefits. Many instances have merely amounted to idle speculation, and the anticipated efficiency gains have yet to be realized or realized in full.
