"Who disrupts, is right."
The relationship with creative knowledge work in Germany is complex. Yet, it is precisely the Creative Economy that significantly influences innovation and transformative capabilities in international competition. We often struggle to make the most of creative individuals, prompting prominent managers to suggest that these capable employees in terms of innovation and transformation should operate within "protected spaces of the organization", so they do not get ground down by the grind of routine.
However, this is not acceptable. It is not the "disturbed" that hinder progress, but the "inhibited" who want to stick with what they have. The consequences are evident: today, we lack skilled professionals who do not just follow routines but can apply independent, individual knowledge to solve problems.
Wolf Lotter tells us where the old and the new work worlds clash and what creative knowledge work actually is – the standard form of work in the future. What do the "disturbed" need? What are the common patterns of exclusion? Which organizations help us overcome this exclusion? Wolf Lotter discovers promising models for this all around the world.
