Presentation “In the Whirlwind of Digitalization” gives insight into the ambivalent impact of digitization on human and his ecosystem. These are pluses and minuses of digitization, which represent opportunities and threats. What are these challenges, and how to use them to gain the benefit of life and work of an individual and beyond? How to enrich business processes and wider social processes by digitizing, and not to stray? Examples are based on some stunning solutions of modern ICT, with an emphasis on artificial intelligence and the question of what is missing in these results. Everything from the perspective of a human who decides about himself/herself and society, and manages ecosystems in all dimensions. The presentation concludes with digital competencies with a special emphasizes on organizational sciences.
