Megatrends
We believe the future will be shaped in large measure by four megatrends irreversible, global developments that will have an impact on everyone for decades to come. We are convinced Siemens is better placed than any of our competitors to meet these challenges.
URBANISATION Half of the worlds population now lives in cities, a proportion likely to grow to 60% by 2030, and to 70% by 2050. The growth rate is particularly rapid in many of the so-called megacities (cities with more than 10 million inhabitants). They contribute an ever-increasing share of their respective national economies Tokyo, for example, provides 40% of Japans gross domestic product. As these cities and economies grow, they will place an increasing burden on urban infrastructures. OUR ANSWER: We have the technologies to create more sustainable urban infrastructures, giving city residents the world over clean air to breathe, safe water to drink, reliable electricity supplies, security, mobility and a good quality of life. DEMOGRAPHIC CHANGE The worlds population will grow to more than eight billion by 2025, and to more than nine billion by 2050. Average life expectancy worldwide will increase to 72 years by 2025; up to half of children born in the UK today can expect to live to 100 years old. The proportion of the global population aged over 65 will nearly double to 12% by 2030. A growing, ageing population and lengthening lifespans mean demand for healthcare will soar, increasing pressure on technology and resources. OUR ANSWER: We are one of the worlds largest suppliers of healthcare technology, contributing many important advances in medical research and development that will help to identify diseases earlier and improve patient treatment, while still keeping costs under control. CLIMATE CHANGE Greenhouse gas emissions have risen dramatically since the industrialisation of the 20th century. Today, the concentration of CO2 in the earths atmosphere is the highest it has been for 350,000 years. Eleven of the 12 years between 1994 and 2005 were among the 12 warmest recorded since weather observations began. By 2030, global power consumption is forecast to double, risking further climate change.

INNOVATIVE
Industry Energy
OUR ANSWER: Our innovations are boosting the efciency of power generation and transmission technologies while substantially reducing CO2 emissions. Our wind power solutions are the preferred choice for some of Britains biggest projects. GLOBALISATION Increasing globalisation means increasing competition for industry. Consumers want products that are more unique at the lowest possible prices and technologies keep developing at breakneck speed. For manufacturers, this means plants and machinery must be adapted to meet new requirements ever faster and with maximum efciency. OUR ANSWER: We combine virtual product planning with automation technologies to create intelligent factories with highly exible production processes that make the manufacture of even customised products cost-effective.

Our values responsible, excellent, innovative provide the foundation for our efforts. To reach these targets and create lasting value for our shareholders and customers, we cannot just rely on the strengths of the individual businesses. We have to unleash the full potential of Siemens as an integrated technology company. To turn this aspiration into reality, Fit42010 has four key strategies: 1. FIT42010 PEOPLE EXCELLENCE The success of a company lies in the sum of the successes of its employees. People Excellence stands for a corporate culture in which all individuals strive for peak performance, know their goals precisely, and are able to contribute their full potential. 2. FIT42010 PORTFOLIO The goal of our portfolio strategy is to generate sustainable, protable growth by capturing leading positions with our products and services in high-growth markets worldwide, focusing on our strengths in the industry, energy and healthcare sectors.

Siemens One
Siemens One, which stands for customer focus and account management, is an integral part of the company and its key differentiating factor
The Siemens One idea is not a programme or an extra layer of internal bureaucracy. It is a vision, an attitude and a culture. It drives protable growth by encouraging a more co-ordinated approach to account management and by exploiting crossbusiness selling opportunities. It encourages Siemens businesses to think, act and behave as one entity. Supported by senior management, more than 40 countries around the world are formally engaged in Siemens One. One of its main elements is the focus on top customers, relationships with whom are handled by nominated account managers and executive sponsors. Siemens One also co-ordinates the response of Siemens businesses to opportunities arising out of major sporting and cultural events. In the UK, efforts are targeted on the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games and the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games. Another area of activity is city account management, positioning Siemens with key stakeholders in cities, such as London, to inuence and drive future business. Two incentive schemes, Make it Happen and Pass it On, support the Siemens One approach. An employee who passes a valid sales lead to a Siemens business (other than the one they work for), or actively supports a colleague in another business to secure a new contract, could be eligible for a nancial reward.

Excellence programmes
Siemens runs three key company-wide programmes to promote business excellence and reward the individuals and teams who practise it
TOP+ The top+ business improvement programme is one of the main drivers of Operational Excellence, a pillar of the Fit42010 strategy. It is a selection of programmes and tools designed to help Siemens keep ahead of the competition, concentrating on topics that will make the most impact for the business, such as value, innovation and customer focus. Many successful projects have been honoured with top+ awards in the past few years. THINK CUSTOMER The goal of the Think Customer initiative is to make Siemens in the UK as well known for customer service excellence as it is for innovation and technology. Think Customer aims to create an organisation where the customer is seen as both the starting point and end point of all activities, and where everyone is accountable and empowered, and sees their job as supporting the front line.
3i 3i representing Ideas, Initiatives and Innovations is an award scheme that encourages the collection, sharing and implementation of good ideas at all levels throughout Siemens. The ultimate aim is to achieve a stronger, more competitive company through creative thinking. Employee ownership is also linked to continuous improvement, either by individual or team problem solving.

Rough Guide The history of Siemens in the UK
Industry
Our founder, Sir William Siemens

Siemens has been at the forefront of technological change and social progress in the UK since 1843. That was the year William Siemens, a 19-year-old engineer from Hamburg, arrived in London with just a few pounds in his pocket. He soon achieved his rst success by selling a patent for a revolutionary electroplating process. In the following 40 years, Williams inventiveness, entrepreneurial spirit, shrewd business sense and love of turning scientic principles into practical solutions led him to achieve many notable rsts in engineering. He not only became one of the leading industrialists of the Victorian age, he was also one of the rst environmentalists and was concerned about waste and pollution. William established the UK subsidiary of Siemens and the company grew rapidly under his leadership. Its early successes included the laying of the rst undersea telegraph cable between Britain and the United States, the installation of the rst electric street lighting, the development of the rst water meter, and the construction of the rst public electric railway. In recognition of his contributions to science, Queen Victoria awarded William a knighthood in April 1883. He died in November 1883, aged 60, and was buried at Kensal Green cemetery in London, following a funeral service held at Westminster Abbey. In the 21st century, Siemens continues to make a valuable contribution to the economy and society of the UK, guided by the philosophies and traditions pioneered by Sir William.
