"Change with Joy" provides impetus for the future viability of companies
"Change with Joy" is both an invitation and a source of inspiration - 22 authors from business, science and practice share experiences and food for thought for a future that is not only digital and innovative, but also human and sustainable.

Heilbronn, September 2025. The reference book "Change with Joy – Impulses for the Future Sustainability of Companies" (Springer Gabler Verlag, 2025) brings together 22 contributions from business, science and practice. The authors shed light on key topics such as digital transformation, sustainability, diversity, leadership and communication. By combining company examples, scientific insights and personal experience reports, a practical overview is created that shows how people and organizations can build resilience and ensure their future viability.

Climate crisis, AI, shortage of skilled workers, volatile markets: companies are facing massive changes today. But what if change is not seen as a threat, but as an invitation to growth, innovation and responsibility? It is precisely this perspective that opens up the new book "Change with Joy – Impulses for the Future Sustainability of Companies" (Springer Gabler Verlag, 2025).

Change is inevitable – the only question is how we deal with it. The newly published book understands change not as a threat, but as an invitation. While many books on transformation analyze risks or describe threats, this book takes a different approach: it takes the heaviness out of the topic and gives courage. He relies on an attitude that combines transformation with confidence and humanity. This positive framing is rare – and powerful because it describes the future not as a "burden" but as a "pleasure".

What also makes the book special is the diversity of its voices: 22 authors with backgrounds from business, science, leadership and the creative industries share their perspectives. The spectrum ranges from renowned voices – such as company representatives from RENOLIT, Ziehl-Abegg or the Dieter Schwarz Foundation – to very personal experience reports, such as that of Jörg Zuber on resilience after a stroke of fate. Each contribution sheds light on change from a different perspective – from hard business questions to intimate reflections. It is precisely this mixture that makes the book convincing and unique.

The work is divided into five thematic areas that are crucial for the future viability of companies:

• Future Support & Transformation
• Diversity & Innovation
• Sustainability & Responsibility
• Digital Transformation & Communication
• Leadership & Personality

The contributions shed light on today's challenges from different perspectives – practical, inspiring and interdisciplinary. The book is thus aimed at entrepreneurs, managing directors, decision-makers in organizations and all those who not only want to accompany change, but also drive it forward.

In addition, "Wandel mit Freude" is not an isolated project, but an expression of the Zukunftszeichner network – a community of experts, entrepreneurs and creatives who are actively working on future and transformation processes themselves.

"Change is inevitable. We decide for ourselves whether it is enjoyable," says publisher Stefan Lingner. "With this book, we want to whet the appetite for transformation – and the courage to take action and break new ground."

"The contributions in this book show that transformation is not a technical project, but a human journey. Only when values, identity and responsibility interact can change develop power and lead to real sustainability," adds publisher Carolin Winz.

About the authors

The book brings together 22 authors from very different backgrounds – from entrepreneurs and scientists to creatives and communicators. It is precisely this diversity that makes "Wandel mit Freude" special: Each voice brings its own perspective on the future viability of companies – practical, interdisciplinary and inspired by very personal experiences.

Topics such as digital transformation, sustainability, diversity, leadership, innovation, brand development or new forms of communication are examined from different perspectives:

Practitioners from companies such as RENOLIT SE or ZIEHL-ABEGG describe how sustainability and digital communication can be implemented in concrete terms.

The science and foundation work of the Dieter Schwarz Foundation show how education, research and entrepreneurship develop innovative power.

Creative thinkers from architecture, communication and culture make visible how beauty, storytelling and identity become drivers of change.

Personal experience reports – for example on resilience after a stroke of fate – make it clear that transformation always begins in people themselves.

Despite their differences, the authors are united by a common attitude: to understand change not as a threat, but as an invitation and opportunity to actively and joyfully shape the future today.
