Technological achievements in combination with other future trends are drastically shaping the way we work.

Furtheremore, the new generation thinks, acts and behaves differently based on new values causing challenges to companies in the private sector, public sector and civil society, which are changing at different pace. Hierarchies, antiquated business processes, outdated IT infrastructure and cross generational conflicts slow down development potentials and cause frustration and anxieties on both sides, the old guards and young potentials.
