BIOGRAPHY
Since early childhood Peter Maskus was
fascinated by nature and technology. In his early years he already met Dr. Prinz (later CEO
of Mercedes-Benz) and Prof. Fiala (C.Res.O. of Volkswagen) privately and
got his first direct impressions about car industry technology and management in a quite intense and unique way,
especially taking his age at that time into account. After finishing school at the age of 17 he started studying
engineering, economy and bionics in Aachen, Karlsruhe and Berlin. In 1990
he was hired by Porsche in Stuttgart. He met Ferry and Alexander Porsche in person
and in 1993 he already personally explained to them how future cars should look
like and underlined, that bionics and efficient design should play a much
more significant role. In 1995, Peter Maskus was hired by Masaaki Imai's
Kaizen Institute - a top lean production and continuous improvement
consultancy in Tokyo, and became one of the key experts in Toyota
production system and Kaizen. He ran Kaizen- and lean production-projects
at several leading companies around the world. In 1997, he founded his own
consulting group, leading Kaizen- and innovation-projects in Japan, Italy,
England, the USA, China and Germany, especially a very intense and
long-term improvement project with the Mercedes-Benz car group. Other
contacts were made with General Electric, NASA, GM, Ford, Honda, Toyota
and Ferrari as well as industries like heavy industry, pharmacy or
electronics. To bring commonly known management systems to a next higher
level, he initiated personal high rank contacts to people like Nobel prize
winner Prof. Manfred Eigen (evolution strategy) or Prof. Ingo Rechenberg
(Bionics). After these contacts, within five years Peter Maskus summarized
all known successful management approaches and harmonized them under the
roof of evolutionary strategy. Additionally he sees bionics as the
essential key to high-potential and environmental friendly technical
solutions. Parallel to his consulting career, in 1986 he started working
on true innovations for the 21st Century. One result are his new global
traffic concepts, which took four generations of constantly improving
revolutionary crafts, meanwhile achieving airplane speed in an
environmentally friendly way.
