Future of Work

If a robot does my job, am I unemployed or on vacation?

65 percent of primary school children will one day work in jobs we don't know yet. With the emergence of new occupational fields, however, those we know are increasingly disappearing. Digitisation is thus putting the existing economic and social system to the test. This has implications not only for education but also for social security. Is it realistic that everyone can make this transition? Do new working models such as the gig-economy lead to more freedom through flexibilisation, or to more dependency? Do we need to change our social relationship to wage-dependent work?

Ting

A new solidarity system for the 21st century

Digitization and the resulting automation are leading to major upheavals in our work environment. Ting meets this change with a community that allows its members time for further development. Through a joint account, members share more than a quarter of a million Swiss francs every year in order to secure themselves financially during personal advancement.

Together Now

Bridging Income for Self-employed

Together with wemakeit and the association Dein Grundeinkommen (your basic income), the Dezentrum has launched the project Together Now. This initiative started only days after it became clear that the measures to contain the Covid-19 virus would have serious financial consequences for countless people. Together Now is raising money to help these people by providing them with a bridging income.

Developing desirable future scenarios

On basis of scenario planning, we formulate desirable future scenarios and, on this basis, develop options for action for the present. For us, working with future scenarios forms the basis for not only reacting to technological and social developments, but also proactively responding to changes. We offer scenario workshops or train you in the application of scenario planning.

Testing desired future scenarios in a short time

Experimenting with new ideas and approaches is a central aspect in order to position oneself as an organisation successfully in the context of automated society. With the first prototypes, for example, valuable knowledge can be gained in a short time and possible courses of action explored. We are happy to support you in this project!

Project partnerships and consulting

Our project partnerships range from one-day workshops to collaborations lasting several years. We bring in our expertise on questions concerning the topic of automated and actively help you to implement your projects.
