Ottmar Kling (1990)

Ottmar Kling (born March 28, 1926 in Gelsenkirchen ; † October 31, 2005 in Aalen ) was a German physical chemist and a pioneer in the field of ideas management .

Life

During the Second World War he passed the secondary school diploma in 1943 . He was seriously wounded and lost a leg at the age of 18 in 1944. In 1946 he came to the prisoner of war in the supply hospital Bad Pyrmont , where he the regular High School caught up.

Education

From 1948 he studied chemistry at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main . After graduating as a qualified chemist in 1955, Kling worked for the Society for Chemical Technology and Biotechnology e. V. (DECHEMA). After receiving his doctorate in 1957, he worked as a research assistant at the Institute for Physical Chemistry at Goethe University in Frankfurt until 1961 . During this time he completed a 1960-61 scholarship of the German Research Foundation (DFG) at Technical University of Denmark (then: Danmarks tekniske Højskole , DtH) in Copenhagen .

Physical chemistry

Kling worked at Carl Zeiss in Oberkochen from 1962 to 1990 . Initially, he was head of application technology for optical analysis devices. This was combined with lectures, courses and consultancy in the field of optical analytics at home and abroad. He was a member of several committees and associations for chemical-analytical questions.

From 1974 he also worked as a lecturer for instrumental analysis at Aalen University.

Idea management

In 1980, Kling took over the management of the company suggestion scheme (BVW) at Carl Zeiss. He ensured a significant increase in suggestions for improvement (VV) and gave lectures at seminars at the German Institute for Business Administration. V. (dib) in Frankfurt am Main and at Haus der Technik e. V. in Essen about its tried and tested procedures. As early as 1984 he recognized the possibilities of the personal computer for the BVW. The very first software on a personal computer ran at Carl Zeiss and was the basis for later BVW standard software.

He recognized early on that only the combination of BVW with spontaneous brainstorming and a team-oriented variant with systematic brainstorming would result in holistic ideas management . Therefore he worked at Carl Zeiss in the management group for quality circles (QZ) and was coordinator of the QZ from 1985. These QZ were forerunners of what is now practiced in many companies under the designation CIP teams.
