Our economies and societies are changing, with significant effects on each individual, as they have to cope with increasingly complex and unpredictable working lives. Therefore, innovative digital learning applications that respond to their end user's needs and desires become inevitable. Whilst relying on user-centered design structures, the participatory design methodology provides a promising approach towards the creation of such a new generation of digital learning applications. After thoroughly outlining the research undertaking's rationale and following to a theoretical discussion, the author gives insights into the results of problem-centered interviews with digital learning and user experience experts that build the basis for the creation for a prototypical participatory design process. These findings primarily confirm the recent literature and provide, complemented by the created process, a sound basis for further theory-oriented, scientific discussions but application in practice as well.
Andragogical leadership is a term yet to be coined. The evidence from four interviews with experts indicates that it might be a promising solution to grasp the fast and disruptive transformation processes companies are currently facing. Based on the research results, the author argues that andragogical leadership is a set of responsibilities that might at best be taken over by passionate experts in a shared leadership approach. The genuine implementation of andragogical leadership either requires or goes hand in hand with a transformation toward self-directedness, a participatory culture, and the democratization of an organization. Future research requires theoretical discussions and practical experiences contributed by experts from business studies, humanities, and psychology. The relevance of andragogical leadership and its potential to be a solution to urgent questions was proven within this chapter.
