TED follows the mission of "ideas worth spreading and has teamed up with RWTH Aachen University, one of Europe's premier educational and research institutions.

The invited keynote with the title "Be aware of the Chair" elaborates on organizational transformation combining theory with narratives from practical real-world settings. The conference attracted 350 participants (physical presence). The speech was embedded in the overall conference theme "The Art of Progress". The contribution is characterized by a methodologically rigorous focus and a basis in empirical research data that is conveyed in an emotionally engaging way through story-telling.
