Work and life in a digitalized world

Work and life in a digitalized world

One thing is already clear today: The living, working and customer worlds in the year 2028 will differ fundamentally from today’s! What are the underlying conditions for these ground-breaking changes, the effects of which will affect all industries in only ten years’ time? In his presentation “Work in a digitised world”, Global Topspeaker Stefan Jenzowsky, member of the advisory board of 2b AHEAD ThinkTank, Germany’s most innovative think tank, and expert for innovative product and market launches outlines numerous practical options, how trade, banks or the service sector can prepare for changing value concepts and working methods.

Stefan Jenzowsky is certain: Digitisation continues to be an essential, if not underestimated, driver for the working world of the future. It leads to the acceleration and simplification of production processes, changes traditionally anchored sales structures and, on to a large extent, the communication between companies and customers. Companies are faced with the challenge of constantly reviewing and improving their own availability, their response times to inquiries or complaints and in general, the fulfilment of individual customer needs. It is not uncommon that changed working and customer worlds induce the introduction of new product or services on the market, which might become an additional challenge for established corporate business models.

The number of enterprises, which successfully force present business models out of the market by means of target-oriented innovations and which are characterised by high agility and flexibility, is increasing. In particular companies that are in direct contact with end consumers are faced with massive changes and competition and will have to meet entirely new requirements.

In his presentation, Stefan Jenzowsky vividly illustrates the forces driving this change, which is already turning our working and living worlds upside down now, but even more so in the years to come. In this context, it is important to the consultant and manager to consider future working conditions and job expectations from both an economical and emotional point of view. For future generations of employees will not only expect an income that contributes to securing their livelihood but also personal fulfilment and a sense of purpose.

With his presentation, Stefan Jenzowsky will inspire you to make your company sustainable and effective, so that today’s customers will still be your customers in the digitally networked world of tomorrow.

In addition, his many years as a lecturer at various universities make him a fascinating and experienced speaker.

Currently, disruption is probably the most important buzzword to be heard in the Silicon Valley. In his presentation, Stefan Jenzowsky, expert on business model innovation and digital disruption, explains what it is all about. How will your business model be destroyed? And what will replace it in the future? – Only those who consistently question their own business model will also be successful in the future and will be one step ahead of their competitors.

In the course of his professional career, Stefan Jenzowsky, expert on innovative business models and new products, has already taken scores of new products and services to their market launch. In his fascinating presentation, he talks about ingenious business ideas, their implementation – and the stories behind them.

Future potential "made in germany"

What’s „in“ today may already be forgotten tomorrow. A nightmarish thought for many established companies. New technologies, new markets, new players – in the course of globalisation and technologisation, the world of business and production is moving faster and faster. Disruptive business models turn everything upside down. Companies are required to sustainably secure their market position by adapting to future developments and actively driving change. Is „Made in Germany“ in danger? Or do in particular business models „Made in Germany“ have the future potential necessary to meet these challenges?

Shaping your future

The future is full of uncertainty. How will markets and businesses develop? What business models will prevail in the long term? Will the customers of the future tick like they used to do? And: Will our jobs still exist at all? Global Topspeaker Stefan Jenzowsky is an expert on creative disruption and in his presentation „ Shaping your future“, he demonstrates that the courage to change and continuous further advancement do pay off. By getting involved in the inevitable change of our living and working worlds, you will have distinct competitive advantages in the world of tomorrow.

Allowing digital transformation and successfully shaping change

Our working world is undergoing a process of change, the serious consequences of which are already evident today. In ten years’ time, jobs and job requirements will have adapted to the technologies of digital transformation and the resulting process automation and optimisation.

In his lecture, innovation consultant and Global Topspeaker Stefan Jenzowsky presents examples of companies that actively allow transformation processes and even design them themselves, and thus are ready for future working conditions and employee requirements as well.

Autonomous driving - is there a chance for the automotive industry?

Stefan Jenzowsky´s picture of the future of the European automotive industry is a dark one if corporations don’t start acting and loosen their rule-based thinking patterns. The reason is that those thinking patterns won’t work in the digital era if the disruptive technologies on autonomous driving develop exponentially and if well-known business models will be destroyed. In his lecture the futurologist and rulebreaker shows why car drivers will not only hand over the steering wheel but also might lose the competition with new global players.
