Speech topics (to be continued)

In order to be able to shape the future, it is necessary to be able to retrieve tried and tested solutions efficiently and to break new ground time and again. This requires a high level of collective problem-solving ability within the team. When it comes to developing and implementing this potential, which is also genetically determined, people have a lot in their own hands. As a consequence of the digital transformation, machines will ultimately take over everything that they can do better than humans in the professional world of the day after tomorrow. This will create space and time for people to use their greatest strength – their ability to find solutions based on empathy.
