Die nächste Organisation: Management auf dem Weg in die digitale Moderne

Von Thomas Wendt

Organisation ist eine spezifische Form der Zeitbindung. Zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts wurden dazu jene Konzepte entwickelt, die bis in die digitalisierte Gegenwart den Diskurs bestimmen: Messung, Berechnung, Visualisierung und Rechaotisierung. Thomas Wendt erschließt die Geschichte des praxisorientierten Nachdenkens über Organisation am Beispiel exemplarischer Managementtheorien und verschränkt sie mit gegenwärtigen Theoriemodellen. Damit liefert er nicht nur die Grundlage für ein besseres Verständnis der Digitalisierung und ihrer Effekte auf Organisationen und Subjekte, sondern bricht eine Lanze für die Organisationspädagogik als zentrale Disziplin zur Untersuchung digitalisierungsbedingter Veränderungen.

Thomas Wendt

Thomas Wendt is an independent design strategist, author, facilitator, activist, educator, and speaker based in New York City. He splits his time between client engagements and independent scholarship. His client work includes building sustainable human-centered design capabilities through workshops, training programs, and coaching, along with projects encompassing early stage design research, co-design, and service design. Thomas has worked with clients ranging from large companies to nonprofits and activist groups. Thomas’s first book, Design for Dasein, deals with the relationship between experience design and practical philosophy. It explores the emerging practice of designing experiences through the lens of phenomenology, a philosophical perspective concerned with how humans experience the world. His second book, Persistent Fools: Cunning Intelligence and the Politics of Design, explores the role of cunning intelligence and deception to make more socially, culturally, and ecologically sustainable design decisions, as well as a means of resisting oppressive design. Thomas speaks at conferences across the world and is published in both academic journals and practitioner publications on topics such as philosophy of design, design theory, sustainability, design research, design thinking, and the politics of design. He also enjoys escaping to a remote cabin in the woods whenever possible, single malt scotch, and practicing yoga.
