“Customers increasingly see themselves as self-determined individuals. They inform themselves, buy on the Internet and shape brand and product perceptions through self-created content and reviews “(Karl Heinz Land). We understand “digital Darwinsmus” when technology and society change faster than companies are able to adapt to them (Kreutzer / Land). Adapt or die Survival of the fittest: Darwin’s theory can best be transferred to the digitization of companies. Because the struggle for survival also takes place there. The strongest is the one who manages to react quickly to technological changes, adapts his business model to customer expectations, uses knowledge profitably and outperforms his opponent (start-up scene).So the success factor seems to be the speed of your own digitization. Kreutzer and Land speak of a change from CEO to CDO (see figure). According to the two authors, a modern CDO should aim to “destroy” what already exists in order to make room…

Many students and professionals dream of a vertical leadership career. Even when studying or training, the vertical career was often preferred to the horizontal career and many dreamed of one day leading their own employees as a team or department manager.

In addition to the technical requirements such as VPN and software tools such as Jira and video conferencing, collaboration on a human level was…
