Radical change – not a threat, but an opportunity for companies

Sometime “Will machines do our jobs?” – a widespread fear that is hindering technological change in many German companies. Digitization and automation are seen less as an opportunity and more as a threat. The result: especially in companies, so-called [missing word - likely "inadequacies" or "inadequacies"] are emerging. „heilige Kühe“This refers to customs and structures within the company that are declared unchangeable and that no one is allowed to challenge. Some managers act as if these sacred cows are like a child's candy cupboard – absolutely taboo! 

Change = transformation = reducing sacred cows

But why are people so afraid of technology and its potential? According to management consultant and speaker Dr. Stephan Meyer, it's not the technology itself that people and companies fear. It's the radical change and paradigm shift that often accompanies it. In his presentation „Almabtrieb der heiligen Kühe – freier Blick auf die Zukunft“ diskutiert er, warum Sie die heiligen Kühe Ihres Unternehmens rigoros schlachten sollten und welche Chancen sich daraus für Ihr Unternehmen ergeben.
