Matching always needs self‐(er)knowledge and knowledge of human

measurable and assessable, such as personality structure,
competencies, and well-being. Because what you can measure
accurately, you can also do better - and in any top class, whether in
sports or in business, it often comes down to those tenths that make
the difference ahead of the competition. Without false modesty, I can
say that I succeed in doing this time and again - which is why, as a
successful racing driver (see www.scheelen-racing.com), I am also
referred to by some experts as "Germany's fastest entrepreneur".
In the context of measurability, the concept of telemetry plays a
central role: This technology is used in many places in our lives - for
example in medicine, motor sports, weather, animal and traffic
observations. Especially in motor sports, telemetry is the basis for
racing success - and can be transferred to the field of management
success and leadership development: There are parallels for the
analysis of success factors and the development of competencies
in the management field in general.
Telemetry comes from the Greek and means "remote
measurement". In concrete terms, it refers to the transmission of
measured values to a spatially distant location. This is done via
sensors at the measurement location. In motorsports, the
technology and its data provide racing drivers with a quasi-
permanent "all-round view": the fast and precise analysis of countless
data supplied in real time about the vehicle and driver shows
engineers and pit crew possible defects within seconds, transmits
central information for the driving style, and helps to recognize and
correct driving errors. The transfer to corporate management is:

Analogous to motorsport, companies must collect,
measure, analyze and data, measure it, analyze it and
implement optimizations and implement optimization
measures.

And that's exactly what the tools we're talking about below do!
