Background and aims

acatech’s HR Working Group comprises prominent figures from industry and academia who engage in informal strategic discussions on how to secure the skills required for innovation in Germany and how to shape the digital transformation. The majority of the HR Working Group’s members are HR directors from leading technology companies and service providers. The meetings are hosted by acatech President Dieter Spath, Chairman of the acatech Board of Trustees Henning Kagermann, and Joh. Christian Jacobs, Managing Partner of Joh. Jacobs & Co. (AG & Co.) KG and member of the acatech Senate.

The Group’s HR experts discuss how the opportunities of digitalisation can be leveraged in the workplace, and how companies, employees, the social partners and government can work together to shape the digital transformation. The issues addressed include how to promote flexibility and autonomy, and how to create more freedom to experiment.
