The continuing education course "Psychology of Digital Change" offers comprehensive insights into the psychological foundations and effects of digitalization on people. You learn the consequences of digitalization for individuals and engage with the interests, motivations, and typical emotions triggered by digital change. A special focus is on identifying fears and challenges that employees recognize in the course of digitalization, and on developing coping strategies against digital stress. Another important aspect is avoiding reactance to preserve freedom and self-determination.
A central component of the continuing education course is digital reflection using practical examples. You analyze challenges of digital transformation in your everyday work, recognize and classify decision and behavior patterns, and learn to overcome typical resistance in digital change. This way, you can identify your own resources to successfully accompany digital change and discuss solution approaches with your own case studies.
Another focus is the transition to digitally-affine thinking and behavior patterns. You learn how past experiences influence learning and unlearning, and how the two-system theories work between intuition and consciousness. You learn the limits of objectivity and how our thoughts influence reality, as well as how to evaluate the stability of our thinking and behavior patterns. The continuing education course also illuminates the neuroplasticity of the brain and offers tips to promote adaptability and new, digitally-affine behaviors.
This continuing education course is aimed particularly at professionals and executives from IT, research and development, HR, strategy, business development, management, and consulting who want to position themselves as change agents. You benefit from a solid understanding of the psychological mechanisms of digital change and gain a toolbox for promoting digital behaviors. You reflect on your role in digital change and identify valuable fields of action.
