Description

"Rethinking the future" - Günther Wagner can be described succinctly with this statement.

His columns and articles, which often seem provocative, are thought-provoking and invite people to act and rethink old-fashioned structures and systems. At the same time, he always maintains a positive outlook despite all the circumstances and resistance.

Especially in the past few months, due to the global tectonic shifts in all areas of life, it has probably reached even the last long-established "manager": "just keep doing what you're doing" is no longer an option!

The search for sustainable business models is occupying companies like never before.

What we need are far-reaching changes in the thinking and actions of each individual; and beyond that, resilient solutions to not only survive the crises and pandemics of the future (battered) but to master them with confidence!

That's why, in this episode, we join Günther in his future workshop and try our hand together at the future company 2023.

The tools we need: courage, foresight, openness, and will.
