Steinbeis: Steinbeis CLOE - Center for Learning & Organizational Enablement

In an increasingly dynamic and technology-driven economy, the ability of organizations to learn, evolve, and actively shape change is becoming a key factor for success. The Steinbeis Transfer Center CLOE – Center for Learning & Organizational Enablement helps organizations empower people, structures, technology, and learning systems in a targeted manner to embed learning, innovation, and change in a sustainable way. Based on research in industrial and organizational psychology, we work with companies to develop evidence-based solutions for human resources and organizational development. Our goal is to translate scientific findings into effective strategies and concrete implementation projects.
