Berlin (GER), September 2013 - The HTW Berlin University of Applied Sciences will host a conference on 02 October 2013. The event will convene experts to discuss and experience the most recent findings in digital work and online collaboration.
The conference addresses thinkers interested in digital work: scientists, managers, consultants, and students will discuss the status quo of digital work and develop scenarios for the future. The aim is to spark a discourse and observe current trends in this ever-changing context through keynotes and workshops.
It is necessary to think about working processes. What are the differences between digital work and traditional work relationships? And what kinds of online work environments make virtual groups successful? The speakers will share their insights from both the academic and entrepreneurial points of view regarding success factors, challenges, and implementation in organizations.
The conference has been jointly organized by the eLearning Competence Center at HTW Berlin and its business partners intercultures, learning.de (Berlin) and Perform Globally (Stuttgart) to offer both the academic and business perspectives. International experts will come together online and offline to participate in specialist keynotes, interactive workshops, and networking on 02 October 2013. Main points will include various strategies on how to prepare leaders, employees, and students for a global work experience and business insights of successful implementation.
