Content
The megatrend of digitization poses major challenges for many companies in order to keep up with the high pace of innovation in the digital realm. The event deals with the basics of successful leadership in the digital age and how this can increase the innovative power of companies. Against the background of classic and modern leadership concepts (e.g. transactional, transformational and entrepreneurial leadership), students will be taught the concept of "Digital Leadership", in particular with its following four central elements:
- Digital Skillset
- Digital Mindset
- Digital Execution
- Digital Vision
On the basis of this fundamental knowledge, students then take on the role of the lecturer themselves (flipped classroom) and develop in-depth detailed knowledge on how managers can navigate their companies through today's volatile and dynamic environment. The analysis is carried out holistically from different perspectives with a focus on individuals, teams, organizations, the environment and artificial intelligence (AI). The resulting implications for companies' ability to innovate (e.g. ambidexterity) and the innovation process (e.g. open innovation) are highlighted and linked with current examples and best practices (practice). Supplementary guest lectures also offer interesting impulses from practice. The accompanying exercise serves to deepen the content by actively working on the presentations and case studies in groups.
