Thoughts-Numbers-Facts

Basically, we are in a revolution right now.

A sentence that raises question marks. A statement that has many perspectives. Digitalization is changing the way we live and work. Is the digital revolution then actually a cultural revolution? Questioning and questioning is in the DNA of Denkwerkstatt. We do that a lot and with pleasure. We would like to share these thoughts, the questioning with our readers.

We find special company stories that are sources of inspiration. We present courageous managers who have already set out to move something new.

How powerful is top management and why is measuring excellence and top performance a rather sensitive topic in this context?

Denkwerkstatt provides empirically evaluated and tailor-made instruments for measuring culture and top performance in companies.
