Browser - team neusta original Podcast

What is it all about?

Another podcast about digitalization! As inflationary as the term is used, the topic has so much significance for the development of companies, jobs, people and relationships. It's easy to lose track of what's really relevant. That's why we talk about it with entrepreneurs, leaders and opinion leaders: How is digitalization changing processes? How are new business models emerging? How can change succeed in companies and minds? Using technologies, but how? To get to the bottom of these and many other exciting questions, Leonard Geßner talks to his guests for a good half hour every two weeks and engages in controversial discussions. We want to promote entrepreneurial spirit and inspire further development and progress. That is BROWSER!

BROWSER is an original from team neusta GmbH, produced by Kinescope Film Hamburg GmbH and ContentFlash.
