According to Dr. Thomas Sattelberger, former Chief of Human Resources of Telekom, Germany is positioned between the 'engine house' China and the 'digital house' USA. He is convinced that this situation increase the pressure on German companies. In his Key Note speech, Sattelberger indicates the challenges for (digital) innovation and how the scenarios in the working environment need to be changed.
About 120 managers from various branches of business participated in the event at the Business Club in Hamburg on September 18th. During his lecture, Dr. Sattelberger presented his thesis that leadership and working culture have a significant impact on innovation processes:
Technological innovation does only come with social innovation: good companies are biotopes for talents rather than hierarchical machines or drill instructors.
Comprehensive and repeated research proves that organisations that attract, motivate and develop the right people outperform those that do not. Truly successful organisations build the right capabilities and talent at all levels – with people who can take the organisation into the future.
