I often discuss digitization with experts and am always amazed at how complicated digitization is approached. It's clear what needs to be done ... But then there's always this one argument: that people aren't behind it at all! But even the supposed resistance is - actually - quite simple and can be transformed into approval and motivated participation in one fell swoop.

Future-oriented leadership means providing optimum support for employees in all phases of their lives. It is about attractive working conditions and skills development.

Investing in sustainability and for sustainable projects: This is one of the big megatrends among business angels and investors. It is about the good feeling of having invested "sensibly". But it is also about achieving a financial return in addition to a positive ecological and social impact. This is because many want to incorporate their values and life goals into their investments. Generation Y and projects or startups are in the sights of investors.

"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.

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.

Looking back at the Covid response, the industry will have a wealth of recommendations and lessons to offer on how to avoid future failures in crises of this magnitude. But will companies also address the root cause of the problem: that supply chains themselves are no longer fit for purpose?

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.

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.

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.

There is a palpable desire for meaningful jobs that will still exist, emerge, develop and be in demand in the working world of the future. Many conversations and interviews with (trend) scouts from the world of work and with futurologists have resulted in this list of ten trend jobs of the immediate future, which is of course not exhaustive:

The concept of digital literacy combines skills in dealing with digital media with responsible action on the Internet. Everyone should be empowered at an early stage and in the long term to move confidently in the digital space. Only by teaching critical thinking can politics and business secure social prosperity in the long term by enabling innovation.
