New Work enables companies to be future-proof and resilient by allowing them to adapt quickly to changing market conditions in order to remain successful in the long term. It promotes the use of the company's entire knowledge and skill base by creating spaces in which employees can follow their passion and make the most of their abilities.
What is New Work?
New Work describes the modern world of work, which is characterized by flexibility, collaboration and digital tools. The shift towards New Work is a response to increasing competitive pressure and the growing importance of knowledge work, which is being driven by automation and digitalization. Companies need to evolve quickly, which requires employees to think in a networked and cross-functional way, to be creative and innovative. New Work brings together these new corporate cultures and innovative forms of collaboration and enables more efficient and pleasant work processes. A central aspect of New Work is the possibility of working remotely and in hybrid form.
Added value through New Work
A dynamic set-up with fast coordination channels, efficient data management and innovative tools makes day-to-day work easier and faster. This makes it possible to attract, inspire and retain both qualified specialists and young talent, which is crucial in the "war for talent". This helps to save costs, as the loss of employees results in expensive replacements and a loss of skills.
Media disruptions are eliminated, data management becomes transparent and the traceability of the communication chain is simplified. This facilitates self-organization and accelerates decision-making, which sustainably increases the productivity of the team.
In addition, New Work reduces travel times and costs thanks to the option of remote and hybrid working, which helps to conserve resources and the environment. These comprehensive benefits help companies to adapt to the requirements of the modern working world and be successful in the long term.
As an IT company, we have a special focus on New Work concepts. It is no coincidence that the agile approach comes from software development. There is hardly any other industry where developments are as rapid as in software development and the need for innovation is as high. We are therefore happy to provide you with comprehensive advice on the topic of New Work and agile working.
Why Agile Transformation?
In today's fast-moving business world, adaptability is the key to success. Business agility enables companies to adapt quickly to market changes, drive innovation and effectively meet customer needs. Agile methods increase efficiency, employee satisfaction and long-term competitiveness.
The agile foundation
includes core values such as transparency, collaboration, self-organization, personal responsibility and continuous improvement. Principles such as customer focus, regular delivery of working solutions and continuous adaptation are important. Methods such as Scrum, Kanban and Lean integrate these values into everyday working life.
An agile vision and strategy
are crucial for long-term success. They define the company's goals and ensure that all employees work towards a common goal. Agility in vision and strategy means staying agile and continuously adapting to market and customer changes.
Agile delivery
refers to the application of agile methods in day-to-day business to effectively manage and realize solutions. This encourages iterative development, rapid feedback loops and close collaboration to complete high-quality solutions.
Alignment and balance between strategy and execution
are critical to the success of agile organizations. Long-term goals and daily activities must be aligned. Regular communication, transparency and feedback loops ensure that all teams are working towards the same goal and aligning their work with the strategic priorities of the organization.
