Continuing interest in the New Work theme was again reflected in the third edition of the NWX: Fifty national and international New Work pioneers and implementers presented their ideas on seven stages – including the halls of the Elbphilharmonie, the Hotel Westin meeting rooms, a launch and a floating home.
An informal approach was laid down right at the start at the initial event in the large hall. Then things became scientific: Gerald Hüther, one of Germany’s best-known brain researchers, came on stage to express optimism regarding the cultural shift in the world of work: “If we choose, we can continue to evolve at any time,” he said. A lot of fresh thinking is required: “People are looking for a new kind of ordering principle that is no longer called a hierarchy, but nevertheless ensures that people can work in collaboration,” Hüther continued.
