Study of the month: October
In an increasingly globalized world, small and medium-sized enterprises – which are often still traditionally and regionally rooted – are confronted with growing challenges. In order to remain competitive, there is a need to have qualified, capable and motivated managers in the company’s own ranks.Strametz [&] Associates has conducted a study against this backdrop that looks at the management development of medium-sized companies.
Agile leadership – buzzword or future trend?
There is currently no getting around the topic of “agility” – and it is particularly worthwhile to turn the agile gaze to the topic of “leadership”. Because agile leadership combines methods and values, process management and people management, techniques and ideas.
In our free whitepaper, we devote ourselves entirely to the topic of agility and answer the question of why agile leadership can only work with an agile corporate culture.
Why resumes, interviews and gut feelings are no longer enough when it comes to personnel decisions
Experienced GmbH managing directors like to rely on their knowledge of human nature when selecting suitable candidates. However, anyone who relies solely on likeability, gut feeling and biographical key points when making personnel decisions will not receive a valid statement about how successfully a candidate will fill the new position. How can modern personnel diagnostics help to identify talents, record competencies and potentials and secure personnel decisions?
What is the value of the sense?
Corporate Purpose – a key HR trend that not only reflects a company’s “soft facts” but also delivers economic added value, as Kienbaum and Human Unlimited can demonstrate in their latest study. Changing value frameworks lead to an increasing understanding of organizations as part of society, which in turn leads to the greater importance of developing a corporate purpose (CP). What is meant here is the raison d’être of an organization – beyond profit-making. Companies “should create environmental and social value.”
The future belongs to (management) systems ‘,with people”.
In his latest study, Guido Bosbach examines how burdens can be reduced, how system conflicts can be resolved, and how a human-centered management system can enable a better new start after the pandemic. For this purpose, 93 companies were surveyed online between mid-December 2020 and the end of February 2021. We highlight the key findings and recommendations for action in our “Study of the Month” section.

Innovative potential and competence management with the affinity profile
Last year, the book “Innovative Potential and Competence Management” by Manuel Schuchna was published. It addresses a newly designed model for sound topic- and subject-specific personnel and aptitude diagnostics and provides the basis for personnel decisions based on affinity profiles.
We asked the author how he came up with the idea for this novel concept and why it has great significance for the field of diagnostics.
