The Digital Workplace The forum enters its fourth edition in 2026 and remains true to its format: open insights into practice, honest testimonials, and an exchange among peers.

 

The digital workplace is undergoing noticeable changes: AI agents are increasingly taking on tasks independently, employee expectations are rising, and issues such as security, compliance, and digital sovereignty are coming more into focus. In our client projects, we see that many organizations are facing similar questions: Which developments are truly relevant, and how can these be translated into a strategy that works in day-to-day operations? These are precisely the questions we address in the Digital Workplace Forum: Concrete and Practical.
