DIGITIZATION

what is digitization?

Digitization is not a future topic, it is already happening today. In many debates, the participants in the discussion focus on the supposed risks and much less on the associated opportunities. INTERNATIONAL SOLUTIONS wants to emphasize the positive impulses and developments, because from a systemic point of view, digitalization offers incredible economic, ecological and socially relevant potential.

The so-called digital revolution, like all revolutions before it, is leading to profound changes. This applies to the technical development, of course, but also to the major social challenges that accompany it. With the use or rejection of the new technical possibilities, societal rifts are opened up

The digital revolution, like all revolutions before it, is leading to profound changes. This applies to the technical development, of course, but also to the major social challenges that accompany it. With the use or rejection of the new technical possibilities, social divides are opened up. 

After all, do we have to divide society into winners and losers of the digital revolution? We think not! Complex issues always offer opportunities and risks. But in the digitalization of our world, the advantages clearly outweigh the risks. Communication can be faster. So can trade and the delivery of services. 

Digital assistance systems support employees at work as well as older people in coping with everyday life. Intelligent energy management systems help to save energy and in medicine, an operation can save lives over thousands of kilometres via transmission technology and information transfer. 

What we must not forget is that people and their living environment are always at the centre of this and that digitalisation should serve people.

  • Social networks connect millions of people around the world
  • Information is transmitted to all points on earth in the shortest possible time
  • Companies arrange services worldwide
  • Online services network users and make services available virtually, such as leasing exchanges.
  • Leisure time behaviour is changing into the virtual world
  • Altered Reality connects the virtual world with the actual world, such as in travel or medicine.
  • Greater customer centricity increases creativity and innovation
  • Big Data techniques enable the analysis of large cumulative data sets and determine much more accurate forecasts of future user behavior and new customer needs.
  • Networking of individual stages of the value chain is differentiated into even smaller parts
  • In the future, industrial companies will no longer have to own products and means of production, but will be able to use them temporarily.

INTERNATIONAL SOLUTIONS supports you in recognising and exploiting digital opportunities. Whether philosophically or in the implementation of IT systems. We tell you which means you can use to automate your processes and ensure a better work-life balance.

Hybridization is already a hallmark of digitization today and will demand an increase in technical and digital skills. Traditional job profiles and sectoral boundaries will dissolve and enable, but also require, employees to switch careers between sectors.

How will society deal with these fundamental changes when old patterns suddenly no longer apply? If, in the future, working people will work in changing teams and in changing places, work and its prestige will lose its social and identity-forming function. In addition, older people who have grown up in a different socialisation will no longer be able to understand or evaluate this world.

However, the disappearance of old professions and jobs is also being offset by new job profiles. The Green Economy already provides jobs for more than 1.5 million people in environmental technology. That is already about twice as many as in the automotive industry. Companies in the electrical or mechanical engineering industries have a great deal of know-how at their disposal. Energy and energy management will follow. Energy-saving systems in the extraction and processing of raw materials as well as the development of materials and their refinement provide great scope for investment. In addition, there is the energy turnaround. Smart energy systems can be used to examine material and energy consumption and optimize production chains.

Let's not forget the constant evolution of personal computers and mobile devices. There are still undreamed-of opportunities for further development here. The use of e-technology in vehicle traffic is not a flash in the pan and will revolutionize automotive technology. Software developers can already find jobs all over the world. The world speaks English in this industry.

The labour market and society will have to adapt to dramatic changes.

  • Agile leadership and projects
  • Digital Overload Management
  • Knowledge management at the push of a button
  • Communication 4.0 and the transformation of language
  • Personnel development in the digital world
  • digital transformation
  • Interim management in times of change
  • Effects on service and purchasing behaviour


Are you and your company prepared for these new times?

INTERNATIONAL SOLUTIONS supports you in all areas and on all steps into the digital world.

Impact of digitalization

The effects of digitalization entail economic consequences. Our working environment will change significantly. Companies that remain stuck in production and performance may lose market share to start-ups with a high degree of automation. High flexibility of companies and employees will become an essential feature of digitalization. Employees will increasingly work in changing teams and projects in the future. 

Cooperation

Collaboration with freelancers will increase. Especially for highly and low-skilled workers, good self-marketing and self-organization will become mandatory in order to make themselves available to the changing labor market. Networking will also be in focus. However, lifelong learning is becoming of crucial importance for all. Changes in society, politics and the labour market must be taken into account.
