Systemic Organizational Change for Sustainable Productivity

This P-Talk explores why transformation programs fail to deliver lasting productivity gains and how organizations can address these challenges by moving beyond typical linear change management toward a systemic, integrated approach.

Thomas Gebhardt, International Consultant and Managing Director at the Equilibrium Foundation, Germany, shows how people, processes, culture, and external dynamics must evolve together to create sustainable performance improvements. He introduces a systemic change management framework that combines new leadership practices, co-creation, adaptive learning cycles, digital enablement, and AI-supported decision-making. Real-world examples from different sectors illustrate how organizations can improve efficiency, engagement, and operational performance by linking structural redesign with cultural development, empowered teams, and data-driven insights. Join the talk to gain a clear understanding of how systemic organizational change strengthens resilience, accelerates implementation, and enables continuous, capability-driven productivity growth.
