Change management in times of digitalization

Key competence for HR in the world of work 4.0

This training is held in German.
Digitalization is sweeping over companies like a tsunami! Whether it is a curse or a blessing depends on whether the change is managed successfully. Who, if not HR, should be involved as a change management professional? To do this, HR must first understand the changes caused by megatrends such as digitalization, VUCA/BANI, sustainability, agility and New Work and acquire methodological knowledge in order to carry out professional and pragmatic change management. The combination of these two elements will be the key competence of HR managers of the future. This training teaches tried-and-tested change management methods for shaping, in particular, digitalization in companies.
