Now we are at the stage where they need to validate the needs with their customers as well as the value propositions. In our workshop together we prepared the team to meet their customers. As is often the case, we noticed a lot of people struggled to understand how to have real, meaningful conversations with their customers (i.e. NOT “do you like this idea?”. What’s more, many of the people in the workshop were nervous about getting out of the building to meet their customers in the real world.

Work in Progress
DB Schenker X GAMBA
July 30, 2019
There is enormous momentum around the Future of Work: companies have understood that product innovation and corporate transformation can only be successful when the employee is part of the process. C-level Executives are more than ever concerned with identifying and recruiting the right people, and developing them for their jobs that rapidly evolve with increased automation & digitization.
One of the most broadly discussed topics is automating the cumbersome process of recruiting. Solutions and platforms are flooding the market, with the promise to significantly enhance application screening and to identify the best fit for the role - more effectively than ever before.
As a positive side effect, companies gain a much better understanding of their job requirements, as well as the corresponding ideal skills and capabilities. This in turn benefits every company employee who seeks to progress and advance their career – which can be guided and supported by HR departments by utilizing data based on labor market intelligence to identify skill gaps and provide development opportunities.
Enriched decision-making based on actual data was never as easy for corporations as it is today. The Future of Work is here, and we just begin to reap its benefits.
