Additive Snack

Join host Fabian Alefeld as he speaks with Markus Seibold, Vice President of Additive Manufacturing at Siemens Energy and Material Solutions, to discuss why a working culture focused on growth and a shared sense of purpose is far more effective than a culture focused strictly on performance, best practices for creating and nurturing a growth mindset for teams, and how to successfully enable innovation through additive manufacturing.

Show Notes

Host Fabian Alefeld speaks with Markus Seibold, Vice President of Additive Manufacturing at Siemens Energy and Material Solutions, two of the most advanced users of Additive Manufacturing (AM) consumer production. Markus and Fabian discuss why a working culture focused on growth and a shared sense of purpose is far more effective than a culture focused strictly on performance, best practices for creating and nurturing a growth mindset for teams, the bold moves Siemens Energy has made to successfully enable innovation through Additive Manufacturing, and why AM engineers and designers don't get enough credit.

“I fundamentally believe in the mid-to-long run, a growth culture totally outperforms a performance culture.” — Markus Seibold, VP of AM, Siemens Energy & Material Solutions on The Additive Snack Podcast
 
“If we really want to accelerate the additive application development, we said, we need to, on purpose, put budget and headcount against additive applications. So, we created 30 new headcount requisitions.” — Markus Seibold, VP of AM, Siemens Energy & Material Solutions on The Additive Snack Podcast
 
“I can truthfully now claim that we [Siemens Energy] are the tipping point where additive is not only a technology push from a few but where it is getting toward a technology pull from many.” — Markus Seibold, VP of AM, Siemens Energy & Material Solutions on The Additive Snack Podcast
