Disrupt: Wozu braucht es sprechende Bushaltestellen, Anna-Theresa Korbutt?
Die HVV-Chefin plant einen Sprachassistenten für den Nahverkehr und fragt ungern nach Erlaubnis. Im Podcast geht es um Technikskepsis, Führung und die Misere der Bahn.
The Hamburg public transportation authority HVV is developing a speech-enabled assistant that can find connections, book tickets, and provide departure times - a sort of Siri or Alexa for local transit. Why is this important? Public entities are rarely suspected of being particularly innovative. However, the HVV is different: For its CEO Anna-Theresa Korbutt, transformation and technology skepticism mean "it can't be done, there's no way."
She declares, "I no longer ask my supervisory board. I just do it." In a lively podcast conversation with Larissa Holzki, the CEO and former professional athlete speaks frankly about a newfound aversion to the performance concept, dealing with cautionists, and the bungle at Deutsche Bahn. Her criticism does not expressly target the new CEO Evelyn Palla.
