Continuing Education

The digital revolution is fundamentally changing the way we work and placing new demands on managers and employees.

To successfully meet this challenge, a new understanding of leadership is required – one that views and shapes digital transformation not merely in terms of a technical shift but also as a cultural change. Managers must adapt to the evolving digital work environment by expanding their skills and redefining their roles – moving away from the image of a hierarchical, controlling figurehead to become supportive, empowering coaches.

This requires a positive and appreciative corporate culture based on shared values, goals and rules.

The training takes place online.

The number of participants is limited to 12. The duration will be between 3 and 6 hours.

Participation in the event is free of charge. You will be awarded a certificate of attendance.

This training is taken from the research project: ”DigiLead – Leadership in the Digital Working World.”

The research project examines how managers understand, adapt, and shape their roles within­ hybrid working models, identifying the key topics and objectives.

This seminar explores trends in the evolving structures and content of work and learning, examining both the current and potential future impact of New Work and New Learning in the field of education.

What sets this seminar apart is that it brings different areas of education into dialog with each other: by looking at educational staff in continuing vocational training, adult education, and higher education and reflecting on the similarities and differences in dealing with change that can be observed in different areas of education and whether these areas can learn from each other.

The training is designed as a seminar and, in addition to approx. 60-minute input from the trainer, offers the opportunity for an intensive and open exchange with the participants talking about their experiences of New Work and New Learning in their everyday working lives. The seminar takes place online and lasts approx. 2–2.5 hours.

The number of participants is limited to 10.

The training takes place online via Zoom.

Participation in the event is free of charge. You will be awarded a certificate of attendance.

The event is organized by the Center for Educational Professions and Organizational Research (ZeBOHagen) at the FernUniversität in Hagen. The ZeBOHagen aims to bolster the exchange between science and educational practice and to be a central point of contact that extends way beyond Hagen.

Hybrid collaboration in work teams combines the advantages of flexibility and direct exchange.

In a hybrid model, physical presence and virtual work come together. This makes it possible to adapt work to individual life circumstances and, at the same time, offers the opportunity for personal exchange. This working model requires clear communication and well-defined processes to avoid misunderstandings and ensure productivity. Teams must actively work together to recognize and balance different needs and expectations.

Consciously addressing these aspects promotes understanding and cohesion within the team, which is essential for long-term success.

In this online workshop, hybrid teams learn the basics and benefits of hybrid collaboration. By using interactive exchange methods, they identify optimization potential and jointly develop strategies to improve communication and processes. The workshop ends by creating an implementation plan and reflecting on how to promote the long-term efficiency and cohesion of the team.

The number of participants is limited to 12.

The training takes place online (3–4 hrs).

Participation in the event is free of charge. You will be awarded a certificate of attendance.

This training program has been developed by the research project “DigiTeam: Shaping Teams in Digital Working Environments.“

The research project aims to generate scientific insights and practical design guidelines for collaboration in hybrid work teams.

Our research focuses on the design and development of socio-technical information systems. “A socio-technical system is an organized set of people and technologies structured in a way to produce a specific outcome” (Cummings and Srivastva 1977, p. 55).

In this context, the chair focuses on analyzing digitalization in business and society and shaping its development through various methods and techniques. We primarily research and teach how people deal with IT in their everyday lives and how these IT systems can be designed.

The training takes place online.

The number of participants is limited to 12. The duration will be between 6 and 8 hours.

Participation in the event is free of charge. You will be awarded a certificate of attendance.

This training program has been developed from research carried out by the Chair of Business Administration, esp. Design of Socio-Technical Information Systems.
