  • Profession or vocation to the New Work Way

    "If you quit today, we'll pay you for the time you worked and offer you a $1,000 bonus." Unusual approaches like these have been shaping the new culture in our understanding of New Work, and not just since today.

  • Working World 4.0 in the New Work Context - Part 1: Workplace or Places

    In a time in which we are moving at an almost absurd speed due to the technical possibilities, 4 generations with different prerequisites and needs are coming together. For the companies, it is now time to finally "get going" and initiate a rethink, because the dusty "top-down" structures, insofar as they still function at all, will no longer be effective in the long term in terms of the economy and the labor market.

  • "New Healthcare Management" The Digital Health Revolution

    The goal is clear – the path and the speed to take are not: The (digital) transformation of the healthcare system in the German-speaking countries (Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein) is progressing rather slowly. Using Switzerland as an example, this article examines the root causes, useful best practices, and the contribution managers can make by following the New Healthcare Management approach.

  • From digital to X-Day - Analog meetings for community building

    The article takes as its starting point what the digital transformation is doing to society. The profound changes in which we find ourselves are hardly comprehensible for the individual. There is therefore a need for analog exchange and for learning from one another. Individuals are increasingly coming together in real places where they can meet and, in exchange with others, master the digital transformation and identify spaces for action. A spirit of openness characterizes exchange and learning from and with others. Simple and repeatable forms have emerged that can be applied without effort - for example, X-Days.

  • Era of great transformation - We are only at the beginning

    This is the first article in a series of articles dealing with the topic of the great transformation we are at the beginning of. The subject is complex, and the tasks to be solved are large and challenging. Not only because we are facing multiple changes that affect all areas of our lives. But also because there are so many of them (accumulation), which are coming at us at the same time, which have to be mastered under time pressure, and which are also closely related to one another (complexity). Digital transformation can support us in many ways in coping with the tasks ahead, but it is ultimately only one part of a larger and more comprehensive set of issues. As a first step, this article aims to show why this is the case and thus lay the foundation for further articles that propose concrete ways and approaches on how we can best prepare ourselves for the future that is not yet clearly defined. The path will ultimately be to not only anticipate our future as best we can, but also to actively help shape it based on this - as individuals, as companies and as a society.

  • Will my innovation be a success? - 3 Methods for evaluating innovations

    Innovations are one of the key drivers for the growth and survival of companies. However, as various studies show, there is a very high probability that an innovation idea will not fulfill the goals associated with it. For example, between 70 and 90% of all newly launched products fail. Almost 2/3 of all startup investments lose money. According to a recent study by CB Insights, one of the main reasons for the failure of startups is that there was no sufficient market need for the developed solution. In view of these figures, the following will first show why the classic approach of creating a business plan is not sufficient or can even be a waste of time and resources. Subsequently, the Bayes theorem, innovation options and Monte Carlo simulations are presented as three powerful but simple methods for evaluating the chances of success of innovations in the early development phases.
