Our companies and the entire economy are currently undergoing a massive process of transformation and change. Covid-19 has greatly accelerated these changes and ruthlessly exposed weaknesses in existing structures. Further crises have intensified this trend. Overall, this process of change is leading to completely new demands on companies and the entire economy. The pressure to innovate and its dynamics have increased significantly, accompanied by changing ecosystems and, consequently, value chains as well as production and work processes. Novel products, services, and thus also new business models are both the drivers and the result of this transformation. The pandemic has forced us to adopt new ways of working and significantly altered leadership and decision-making mechanisms and processes. During the pandemic, working from home became the “new normal.” Traditional leadership styles are reaching their limits under these changed conditions and must be rethought. In summary, we must come to terms with the fact that uncertainties and unknowns will shape both our professional and private lives in the near future. As a result, experiences from the past lose their validity and applicability—at least in part. For companies, this creates the necessity for new decision-making and thinking patterns, as well as a significantly altered shift in perspective. Specifically, companies must learn to operate successfully in a dynamic and highly volatile environment and thus manage risks effectively. Digital technologies can help us successfully manage this process of change. At the same time, however, they are also drivers of change. Their usefulness was demonstrated during the pandemic (for example, in the form of communication solutions). Without them, continuing to work from home would have been impossible.
