  • The multi-talent chatbot: Satisfied customers and rising sales figures

    A study by the ZHAW School of Management and Law and PIDAS shows: In Switzerland, the acceptance of chatbots has increased. This can basically be explained by three overarching trends. On the one hand, the popularity of messenger apps is increasing more and more. Over 4 billion users actively use the Whatsapp, Facebook Messenger, WeChat and Viber channels. On the other hand, artificial intelligence is becoming more and more present in our society and is being used by more and more companies - including for chatbots.

  • How companies invest well in times of crisis

    "Never let a good crisis go to waste." This sentence, addressed by former Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel to then U.S. President Barack Obama, makes it clear that crises are not only a threat, but also offer special opportunities. Crises can expose weaknesses in companies that were not visible in good times or whose elimination was not important. A sense of urgency is created to address large and small change processes.

  • Five theses for successful digital transformation

    The example of GKB shows well that a digital transformation is only successful if it is accompanied by a cultural transformation. GKB is the pioneer of digital transformation in the industry. And this is no coincidence. Rather, through a systematic development of leadership and culture, the bank has developed a commitment, trust and change capability that now enables it to implement digitalization at speed. This also shows that for successful digitization, no cultural measures can take effect as fringe or superficial ad hoc actions. Rather, digitization is only successful if it takes into account the deep structures of the company and goes beneath the surface. It is also important to strengthen the digital skills of employees. If all this happens, the digital transformation will quickly become a success. However, all companies that quickly "buy in" to a cultural transformation on the surface or with a few measures will not have this success. The decisive factor is a process of authentic transformation and the right cultural mindset in the company.
