BA BPE 2.4 - Quality and knowledge management

Time: Wednesdays 12 - 14 o'clock

Room: BS 036

Due to rapid technological development and globalization, the transfer and successful communication of knowledge is an indispensable prerequisite for the competitiveness of organizations. The efficient handling of information and knowledge is therefore a key qualification in the information and knowledge society. The demands on the presentation and communication of knowledge are constantly increasing. If an organization wants to remain competitive in the long term, it must make greater use of information and knowledge management methods and tools.

BA BPE 3.2 - Personnel consulting

Time: Tuesdays 12 - 14 hrs / Thursdays 10 - 12 hrs

Room BS 036

Organizations are confronted with constant change in their environment (e.g. changing customer needs, new technologies). In order to operate successfully on the market, organizations must adapt to changing environmental conditions and act proactively. Therefore, changes such as mergers, reorganization of processes, strategic realignment, etc. are always present in organizations. Professional consultants systematically manage and accompany these change processes. In this course, we will look at different forms of consulting, the phases of a consulting process, intervention techniques and the consultant profile.

We work with theoretical inputs and practical exercises (group work, case studies, role plays, etc.).
