ULA News: Transformation starts in the Boardroom

Guest article in the 75th anniversary edition of ULA News

In the guest article by Prof. Manuela Rousseau and Prof. Dr. Julia Duwe it becomes clear: transformation is not solely the task of the executive board and management. Supervisory boards are also called upon to actively help shape the future.

Today, companies face the challenge of successfully continuing their core business while simultaneously setting the course for the future. Especially in times of crisis, climate change, and artificial intelligence, this balancing act is becoming increasingly demanding. Transformation is not solely the task of the executive board and management. Supervisory boards are also called upon to actively help shape the future.

The focus of the guest article in the anniversary edition of ULA News is the concept of ambidexterity – the ability to facilitate stability and change simultaneously. It is about preserving existing strengths while at the same time tapping into new business areas, technologies, and opportunities.
