tural transformation will be key .”
“ To make this cultural transformation real at Technology & Innovation , we massively invest in enabling our employees to work in a more agile and cross-functional way where suitable . This includes structural adjustments , trainings and new working methods and tools ,” he explains . “ In the area of innovation for instance , we start into a pool organisation , the so-called Innovation Hub , where people can
work flexibly in projects , less hierarchical . In IT , we started a programme called ‘ IT @ Motion ’, which is a bottom-up program for the reorganisation of our IT division .”
“ The motivation behind the restructuring is to give more power to employees and the creators throughout the company . Innovation is not limited to the board ; it ’ s not limited to any department . It ’ s a mindset rather than an organisation .”
Innovation runs deep at Deutsche Telekom and with savvy financial thinking to back it up , it seems the German telecom is ready for any hurdle that comes its way .
