Supplementary program “ne(x)t work”

Overview

Digital transformation, new forms of networking, and the use of artificial intelligence are changing work processes, job profiles, and skill requirements in nearly all industries and fields of work: Today, in addition to subject-matter expertise, employers expect, above all, self-management, teamwork skills, problem-solving abilities, communication skills, and an understanding of organizational dynamics.
