New Work - successfully shaping the new world of work

Find your bearings, take realistic steps, avoid excessive demands

Training
This training is held in German.
The world of work is changing faster than ever: AI-powered tools, hybrid working models, skills shortages, new expectations from Gen Z – and at the same time, everything is supposed to become more productive, agile, and meaningful. Many people in leadership roles feel torn between these demands: which of these things are really important? Where do I start? And how can I implement change without overwhelming my team? This training does not training you ready-made solutions, but practical guidance. You will develop a realistic view of your company's potential for change – depending on your product, market, employees, and culture. You will learn proven methods for gradually introducing new forms of collaboration without having to turn everything upside down at once. The focus is on concrete first steps that provide stability and orientation even in challenging times – instead of additional overload.

Contents

Self-reflection

  • Change begins with you: What gives you stability in uncertain times?
  • "Are you doing what you really want to do?" – Meaning as a driver for change.
  • What role do you want to play as a designer of New Work?

The basics of New Work

  • What is behind New Work? Understanding its history and core values.
  • Current drivers: BANI world, AI and automation, demographic change, generational change.
  • What is hype, and what is relevant for your company?
  • Stages of corporate development and the importance of culture vs. structure.
  • Recognize practical aspects for your own context.

Assessing the current status of "New Work"

  • Cultural analysis: Recognize values and practices in your company.
  • What are the biggest levers for change? 
  • Realistic assessment: what is possible now, what later?

New forms of leadership and work: concrete rather than abstract

  • From hierarchy to greater self-organization—small experiments instead of major upheavals.
  • Agile leadership: Leadership in uncertainty and with participatory decisions.
  • How is leadership changing as a result of AI tools?
  • Practical examples: Sociocracy, holacracy, collegial leadership—which one is right for you?

Shaping transformation: the journey is the destination

  • A step-by-step approach instead of a major change program.
  • The transformation team: Who should be involved?
  • Security in transition: balancing stability and experimentation.
  • Success factors and common stumbling blocks.

Transfer: concrete next steps

  • Be realistic: Where does your company really stand? What are the cultural and structural conditions—and how do you deal with them?
  • Apply modern methods: try out proven tools such as participatory decision-making processes, agile management approaches, and self-organization models in a protected environment.
  • Arguing for change: Justifying New Work convincingly to management, the works council, or skeptical executives.
