Digital Pioneers: How German Companies Are Paving the Way to the Future Through Innovative Skill Development

German companies must digitalize their business models to remain competitive. This requires a realignment of thinking and an expansion of existing competencies. Employees should actively develop new digital business models from their everyday tasks.

In a special project, a competency model was developed that enables employees to co-create digital business models. Internal platforms for idea development and supporting structures for the implementation of these models were created. A toolkit was developed to support the digital transformation.

The project began with the definition and development of digital business models. Employee competencies were captured and improved, culminating in a digital training tool, the iAccelerator. An additional tool, the iCourious, was developed to teach basic digital skills.

In the end, two tools were established: the iCourious for imparting basic digital skills and the iAccelerator for advanced project work to develop new digital business models.
