We are shaping the future of collaboration between humans and technology. Organizations harness the potential of technology responsibly, productively, and with a consistent focus on people, thereby creating sustainable innovation. The Lab serves as a connecting platform for this purpose, bringing together academia, business, and society to enable new forms of collaboration.
We investigate how digital technologies transform work, decision-making, and organizations. We make these effects visible and develop concrete approaches for successful integration, covering everything from skills and leadership to trust and responsibility.
Together with partners from practice and academia, we pilot solutions, translate insights into practical application, and implement them within organizations.
We analyze how digital technologies reshape work, roles, and organizational processes, particularly through the interplay of automation, data-driven decision-making, and human-technology interaction.
Our focus lies on the resulting tensions such as those between efficiency and fairness, automation and human autonomy, and technical feasibility and organizational purpose. We investigate how organizations can manage these tensions productively.
Our goal is to develop insights and practical approaches that help organizations not merely implement technological transformation, but shape it consciously and sustainably. In doing so, we concentrate on practical, actionable solutions that deliver genuine added value to our partners.
Digital technologies open up new avenues for creativity and innovation. We are exploring how AI and digital tools function as creative partners—they inspire ideas, broaden perspectives, and enable new approaches to problem-solving. Technology thus becomes a catalyst for creative work, learning, and collaboration.
At the same time, it challenges organizations to rethink their approaches and develop a culture of experimentation. Innovation arises where people and technology jointly unleash their creative potential.
Our applied human-technology research is grounded in sound insights from psychology, sociology, ethics, and organizational science. Technology exerts its impact through the interplay of the individual, the organization, and culture.
We bring together science, technology development, and corporate practice to enable people and organizations to achieve greater success in their interaction with technology.
