WUEconomics podcast

In this chapter we try to show practical examples of how digital change and new technologies are changing organizations and industries and discuss the opportunities and challenges.

We talk about the opportunities of data-driven decision making and the question why so many are struggling with the processes of digital Transformation? There is a need for an open and digital mindset. The current COVID-19 crisis doesn`t change this fact, but accelerates the need for adaption.

Enjoy the following content and tell me what your thoughts and experiences are! Take care!

The transition process of athletes from sports to work is in most cases tougher than expect – Christoph Henneberger, former professional basketball player at Wuerzburg Gemany, described his way – a path that has been set and defined very early – although it was very challenging he had a clear vision of where he would end up afterwards – playing professional sports and studying at the university – his transition path went from basketball court to the class room, where he became a teacher. Enjoy the talk.

There are plenty of parallels between professional sports and business – but what most people do not consider is the fact, that athletes often struggle and underestimate the transition from sports to their second career at work life. Here are some very honest and important thoughts on this topic.

Finally, Prof. Bipp and I picked up a topic that should be on the agenda of every organization and HR department. According to positive personality traits, there are also so-called dark personality traits – here we talk about narcissism and others. It can be very harmful if organizations have leaders and decision makers that have these traits. Therefore, the big question is, how can organizations / HR identify those – at best already in the recruitment process, in order to prevent negative effects.

Great topic and very interesting insights. Enjoy and leave us a feedback.
