In February, Marand Consultants proudly hosted a workshop in collaboration with the Deutsch-Mazedonische Wirtschaftsvereinigung (DMWV) | Македонско-Германско стопанско здружение (МГСЗ).

The event focused on a highly relevant topic: reskilling for new roles created by the digital transformation of businesses.

The Impact of Digitalization on the Workplace

Digitalization is reshaping nearly every aspect of the working world. It brings immense opportunities for innovation, efficiency, and growth while also posing new challenges for businesses and employees alike.

During the workshop, 30 representatives from DMWV member companies engaged in thought-provoking discussions with a panel of industry experts. The event began with a welcome address by Antje Wandelt, Delegate of the German Economy in North Macedonia and Managing Director of the AHK Nordmazedonien.

Expert-Led Discussions

The workshop featured a diverse panel of professionals:

  • Marijana Andric, CEO of Marand Consultants, who shared valuable insights on digital transformation and its practical implications for the workforce.
  • Nenad Cubrinovski, Co-Founder & COO at EVOLV, who served as the moderator.
  • Maja Stavreva-Stojanova, a banking sector expert.
  • Rozalija Vasilevska, a specialist in digitalization and IT.
  • Sarah Cripps, an IT industry expert, who joined virtually from London.

Key Takeaways

Participants explored how digitalization affects day-to-day work, its impact on businesses and institutions, and whether it simplifies or increases workplace demands. The consensus was clear: while digital transformation introduces change, it ultimately simplifies processes and enhances efficiency. Most importantly, employees should view this transformation as an opportunity for growth, rather than fearing job loss.
