White paper: Agility in the management of small and medium-sized companies

The digital transformation is one, if not the biggest, challenge for companies in every industry (Laïfi & Josserand 2014). It is only a matter of time before it will find its way into every unit of companies (Lyytinen et al. 2016). Furthermore, trends such as big data and the fourth industrial revolution are being taken up by companies and, together with the digital transformation, pose further challenges for companies (Kaufmann 2015) such as greater complexity and dynamism in markets and companies (Pfläging & Hermann 2015). One approach to mastering this could be the “structural change” of companies (Gloger & Margetich 2014; Laloux 2015; Robertson 2015). The exact implementation of this “change” is currently a controversial topic. Several approaches for a “structural change” emerge in the literature. The basis of the considerations are the theoretical considerations of Laloux (2015), who interprets “evolutionary” structures as sustainable. Anderson & Uhlig (2015) and Nowotny…

What could agile or digital organizational development look like?

In times of digital transformation, the buzzword restructuring is on everyone’s lips. For the workforce, this means more pressure and fear of losing their job. “I was brought in to restructure here” is what many bosses say. Even I am currently experiencing constant change in my professional life. But change doesn’t have to be bad, because as in the 3. Round table has been said: People are not fundamentally against change. They just don’t want you to be changed. So it is not important to change people through cost savings or more pressure, but to adapt the organization to the workforce. Many magazines are currently talking about agile and digital organizational development. In the article I will try to describe both terms and see how such an organizational development could develop.

What is a #digitalfactory or a #digitalLab

When I got the current edition of the Handelsblatt opened, I saw the headline: “Deutsche Bank: Digital factory with 400 experts starts 2016 in Frankfurt”. At that moment, my first thoughts that crossed my mind were: What actually is a digital factory? The article itself provided the first approaches: the bank’s own research and development as well as investments of 750 million euros for digitization in private and corporate customer business by 2020. Digital factory = digital factory? At first I investigated whether there was a connection between these terms and actually couldn’t come up with a common denominator. A digital factory is: Generic term for a comprehensive network of digital models and methods, including simulation and 3D visualization. Its purpose is the holistic planning, implementation, control and continuous improvement of all essential factory processes and resources in connection with the product (Wikipedia). In the interests of the Deutsche Bank,…
