Dynamic Shared Ownership – Catalyst for Innovation, Speed, Agility, and Performance

Look forward to exciting insights into the comprehensive transformation of Bayer AG—from a traditional, hierarchically structured “dinosaur” to an agile “octopus” organization. The focus is on the Dynamic Shared Ownership (DSO) model and how it reshapes structures, responsibilities, and decision-making processes. Learn what this change means for leadership culture, the pace of innovation, and day-to-day collaboration among employees. And discover the opportunities this presents for the company’s future.

Followed by: a moderated discussion led by Prof. Dr. René Sadowski, Faculty of Business Administration and Engineering Management, HSZG
