Rethinking work: Our path to modern work
The world of work has changed rapidly in recent years. As a company, we are faced with the task of actively shaping this change. The introduction of Modern Work was a strategic milestone for us. Not because we simply wanted to become more "digital", but because we understood that Sustainable work requires new structures, new ways of thinking and, above all, a different attitude.
More than technology: a change in collaboration
Meetings, short consultations or collaborative work on documents are all much easier and faster today. Departmental boundaries are becoming more permeable, information flows faster. Our teams work more networked, targeted and independent of location or hierarchy. At the same time, we give our employees a high degree of personal responsibility and flexibility. This strengthens trust, motivation and, not least, our attractiveness as an employer.
Freedom creates space for innovation
More efficient processes create scope for new ideas and continuous development at both an individual and organisational level. Modern tools relieve the teams from routine tasks and create Space for the essentialsCreativity, solution-orientation and innovation. Our experience shows: When people are given more freedom in their work, their innovative strength also increases.
What we have learnt from our Modern Work transformation
These three points have proven to be decisive for us in establishing Modern Work successfully and sustainably.
Technology follows culture, not the other way round.
New tools only realise their value when teams are prepared to take responsibility and share knowledge.
Communication is the key.
Open formats - from feedback rounds to cross-divisional project groups - promote transparency and acceptance.
Freedom needs orientation.
Clear goals and guidelines help to maintain a balance between flexibility and commitment.

In this way, we ensure that Modern Work is not just a buzzword, but brings real, measurable benefits for our customers, both on an organisational and individual level. We always focus on three aspects:

Empowering employees
Teams are given the freedom and orientation they need to work independently and with motivation.
Promoting innovation
By relieving us of routine tasks, there is room for creative solutions and continuous development.
Cultural change begins in the mind
Technological change only works if it is culturally supported. Modern work always means renewal and this begins not only with tools, but with attitude. Change takes time, communication and, above all, trust. Every day, we experience how much our working world is changing and how important it is to support this change. not only to accompany the process, but to actively shape it. The real change takes place in the mind and in the corporate culture. For us at LM IT, Modern Work is much more than a technical concept. It is a focal topic that we have realised in numerous projects with customers of all sizes and from all sectors. successfully realised have.
