34. BOW-Forum in Bielefeld: Shaping Transformation Together
How can the working world in East Westphalia-Lippe remain future-proof when the shortage of skilled workers, digitalization, demographic change, and reduction in staff are simultaneously affecting companies? The 34th BOW-Forum brings together experts from science and industry at the IHK Bielefeld on November 10, 2026.
Between Skilled Labor Shortage and Staff Reductions
The focus is on transformation in the tension of contradictory developments. Companies must build new competencies, qualify employees for changed tasks, and simultaneously deal with structural changes. The forum looks at specific ways in which personnel development, organizational development, and strategic corporate management intersect.
Impulses from Science and Industry
With Prof. Dr. Jutta Rump, CLAAS, von Rundstedt & Partner, and Bielefeld University, the BOW-Forum brings together distinguished experts. The event combines scientific classification with experiences from the regional economy and creates space for practical perspectives on further education, resilience, adaptability, and job security.
An Event Experience for Decision Makers
The target audience particularly addresses entrepreneurs, executives, HR managers, and those responsible for training and further education. In the atmosphere of the large hall of the IHK Bielefeld, people who want to actively shape change processes and strengthen their organizations in the long term meet.
The event management of BOW combines expert lectures, impulses, and exchange into a compact forum for personnel and organizational development. The audience atmosphere thrives on direct dialogue, comparing different corporate perspectives, and the question of how transformation succeeds in everyday work.
Conclusion: Future Competence to Take Away
