New Work

The world of work is changing, and not just due to globalization, digitalization and artificial intelligence. We are confronted with challenges that we can only solve through cooperation and working together. In the future, as now, human psychology will play a central role.

Inspired by Frithjof Bergmann’s idea of New Work, where people should do what they really want to do, we not only want to talk about this idea in the New Work working group, but also discuss the associated conflicts and hurdles together. In a regular 2-week cycle, there are not only impulses on alternative and flexible approaches to collaboration, on agile frameworks and models of self-organization, on dealing with uncertainties, conflicts and trust. Together, we want to clarify the question of what decent work should and can look like in our companies. We discuss the status quo and measure it against labor theory findings and best practices. It is a transformative exchange.
