Bernhard Rohleder (Bitkom) outlines how digital and ecological transformation plus demographic change force organizations to adapt faster and build resilience. He highlights Germany’s IT skills shortage (137,000 unfilled IT jobs) as a brake on innovation and argues companies must raise workforce participation, upskill employees and career-changers, and attract domestic and international talent while taking social and environmental responsibility (e.g., health and diversity management).
