Get inspired by the spirit and entrepreneurial culture of Silicon Valley and become part of the LeadershipGarage Experience – a three day program of learning how digitalization changes the workplace, exploring the driving factors of growth and innovation, and networking with company representatives and scientists in Silicon Valley as well as with German digital entrepreneurs.
Digitalization is one of the biggest challenges facing companies today. The shift to digital effects company structures and processes, and creates new procedures and interfaces. Becoming a digital organization requires more than just technological investments. The transformation entails a big cultural shift, one in which key actors will be needed to promote disruption and innovation, and create dialogue across the organization. Innovation and collaboration are prerequisites for secure company growth.
The LeadershipGarage Experience kickstarts personal ambitions, provides the tools for enterprise transformations and triggers the first steps to becoming digital.
The San Francisco Bay Area is seen as the epitome of innovation, productivity and inventiveness, and a role model for the future. Google, Facebook, Apple, etc., and a tremendous number of startups in Silicon Valley have led a rapid economic expansion for more than 60 years. This economic trend is still growing, and has increased the pace of innovation in the world. Silicon Valley shows how to work and live digitally, how to utilize big data, and how to be extremely successful.
Silicon Valley’s special culture includes an open attitude, disruptive thinking, speed and willingness to take risks, which in turn is reflected in a richness of product and process innovations. The success story of Silicon Valley is well researched: Driving factors are digital networks, human engagement, and close relationships between business and universities. In particular, the creative interface between science and industry leads to innovation and continuous improvement.
Facing digital transformation, companies must constantly innovate to keep up and succeed. Digital technology creates new possibilities for work flexibility, time management, collaboration over distance and access to knowledge. However, these opportunities also represent challenges that companies have to deal with. This transformation requires a cultural shift, change agents, and leaders with a mission.

Co-creation means partners from different knowledge and experience fields come together to create value they could not master alone. In this way, resources are combined and focused on innovative solutions, competitiveness, and growth.
For Leuphana University of Lüneburg and the Haufe corporation co-creation specifically means linking different perspectives from science and business, exchanging ideas, and bundling competencies of the two actors.
The two partners jointly investigate the opportunities and challenges of digitalization, exchange knowledge, provide practical solutions, and implement networks and partnerships for companies that face similar challenges.
We help companies measurably improve their performance and reach new benchmarks through digital transformation and innovation culture.

“In the first place the digital transformation is a cultural change. To understand this, one must experience and feel it. You cannot learn the dimensions of change at conferences or on PowerPoint slides of strategy consultants. The best experience is when we go into the digital wild and talk to the people who create the change. So far, every one of our customers has been enthusiastic about our innovation journey.”
