Elly Oldenbourg is Pioneer of the WORKSHIFT movement, making real change possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This story is a bit funny. Because Elly Oldenbourg and I know each other from a much earlier working life at American Express. Back then, I would have thought – and Elly perhaps not either – that I would one day write a blog post about her, because she would be one of the most important German-speaking voices in thinking about and implementing a new world of work and business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that’s exactly what happened.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here it is, the blog post about ex-Google manager Elly Oldenbourg, who has just quit her job there after almost 13 years. In case you were wondering: She has no plans to retire. Quite the opposite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elly Oldenbourg – Author, Sidepreneur & Keynote Speaker<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Her new and first book has just been published by Campus Verlag. It bears the intriguing title: “Workshift<\/a><\/em>“ <\/em>Subtitle: “Why we need to work differently today to save our tomorrow.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In it, the mother of two argues for a new start for people and the economy and for an urgently needed new understanding of work – one that is based on quality rather than quantity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her main question is provocative and thought-provoking:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Why do we measure the value of our work and our contribution to society by the number of hours we work?<\/strong>“<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Celebrated for her first book, author and speaker Elly Oldenbourg breaks with convention and sets new standards for success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her own life journey, her convictions and her commitment to diversity and social change are not only inspiring. They show what becomes possible when someone dares to think and act differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a speaker and author, Elly Oldenbourg speaks and writes as passionately as she is approachable. With a holistic view, she repeatedly draws attention to the current situation on the labor market based on facts. Keywords are brain drain and skills shortage, climate catastrophe and the AI revolution. The economy is feeling stressed, and probably a little helpless; a new way of working will be inevitable anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elly Oldenbourg is positive about the turbulent future. She is convinced that it will make our lives richer, democracies more resilient and the planet healthier.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Concrete and true to life<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Her book and her keynotes are never merely descriptive or even pessimistic, but repeatedly show how individuals and decision-makers can build bridges to the future NOW:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
