DisruptHR Hamburg is a Breakfast Edition of the world-known and licensed DisruptHR format, coming to Hamburg for the first time and hosted by KLU. You could call it the “TedX for the future of work”: While the format originated in the HR space, the content itself goes beyond traditional HR topics. The talks focus more broadly on the future of work, the human side of organizations, and how people experience work, careers, and change, rather than on technical or operational aspects. After the 5-minute talks, a fast-paced format, we will offer interactive workshops / breakout sessions with limited capacity.
DisruptHR is a thought-provoking event designed to energize, inform, and to challenge how we think about work - and a great way to start the New Year!
Who is invited?
The event is intentionally open and broad: HR professionals, leaders, and anyone interested in the future of work. KLU also invites students, professors and staff to join.

Our traditional idea of ambition still rewards visibility and speed, but the modern workplace demands something more of leadership.
In fast-changing work environments, the ability to make timely decisions has become a key driver of productivity.
