CompIIT (101082806): Competences for International Innovation Projects
The way people work and live is changing due to two significant trends: the digital era and the organizational shift towards projects. We live in a projectized and digitalized world. The adaptation of organizations (e.g. companies, but also universities), processes, and technologies is forcing a change process with a tremendous pace on people, companies and nations. The digital transformation is one of major challenges for companies, society and education. Consequently, it requires new forms of management. In order to cope with disruptive elements and jump innovations, projects have proven to be a good tool and a major organizational pattern. Innovations are driven by projects and start-ups are emerging from such projects. An agile and entrepreneurial mindset develops in projects. Another relevant aspect are the international, intercultural and interdisciplinary competencies that are indispensable in a project. Innovation happens in global, cosmopolitan communities. Communication and respective language competences are needed.
