HUMAN IMPACT FACTOR
How people train their Tomorrow Mindset, their problem-solving instinct, their mental fluidity and their resonance power in everyday work.
How do I know that my actions are truly producing results and not just keeping people busy? What role do my empathy, my creativity, my way of interacting with people play – in a world where AI can do many things faster?
What makes me irreplaceable compared to machines and algorithms? What skills can I develop to ensure my value remains visible to the company in the future? How can I be sure that my strengths will still be needed in five years? #irreplaceable
Welcome to a time when plans can fall apart faster than a crooked Jenga tower. In an increasingly technologized, AI-driven work environment, certain human qualities are moving into the spotlight. These are the qualities that will define us; qualities that make us feel irreplaceable, that we make a difference as human beings. It's not what someone knows, but how someone thinks that becomes the core competency. This is precisely where the HUMAN IMPACT FACTOR comes in. Its 5 DIMENSIONS are what distinguish us from algorithms and artificial intelligence! What are the scientifically verifiable qualities that bring movement to this intellectual work?
HUMAN IMPACT FACTOR? WHAT IS THAT?
The Human Impact lies in the ability to achieve results even in complex situations. Employees develop social skills, problem-solving abilities, flexibility, and a future-oriented mindset. It's the art of being both human and indispensable in the digital world. Our latest research identifies five dimensions: Tomorrow Mindset, Solution Instinct, Mental Fluidity, Goal Drive, and Resonance. Strengthening these competencies helps avoid the biggest mistakes for the future—impatience, rigid thinking, and siloed thinking—and transforms uncertainty into effectiveness.
Computers are useless, they can only give us answers.

HUMAN IMPACT IN THE TECHNOLOGY DRIVEN WORKPLACE
Back in 2016, I co-authored the study "Digital Enlightenment" with the Future Institute. Our current research explains why some people act faster, more clearly, and more effectively in a complex world. Studies—including our own—prove:
The power of results explains 40% of the differences in critical thinking.
It accounts for 18% of the difference in social outcome capacity,
It influences 22% of the ability to rethink and realign one's own beliefs.
and it ensures that people focus 71% better and persevere with difficult tasks.
In short: New effectiveness is the psychological driving force that makes us indispensable – especially in the age of AI. Even back then, we called for a non-technical mindset, a "Human Digitality." This is a proactive approach to networking and information.
HOW DO I INSPIRE THE HUMAN IMPACT FACTOR ?
We don't achieve new effectiveness through presentations, but through experience . It becomes apparent when people feel that they can remain capable of acting despite uncertainty .
Together we're creating the NASA TASK LOAD INDEX. The basis for effective, relevant thinking .
To train the thinking muscle , which is so important for remaining human, we play a round of "Tingling in the Head" - scientifically proven, immensely entertaining.
There are plenty of tools to help us strengthen our effectiveness : future orientation through the "Future Self" tool, problem-solving ability through "Active Open Thinking", volition through small implementation challenges, and social outcome capability through surprising team experiments for "Social Tailwind".
The goal is to make NEW EFFECTIVENESS tangible – by allowing employees to experience what it's like to maintain orientation, tolerate uncertainty, and not just follow trends, but actively shape them. In this way, results-oriented performance becomes a practical skill that can be used immediately in everyday life .
THE TAKEAWAYS
NEW EFFECTIVENESS makes us irreplaceable – it explains up to 40% of the differences in critical thinking and increases focus and perseverance by 71%.
Uncertainty becomes a strength – instead of being paralyzed by complexity, we use the brain's prediction errors as a springboard for new solutions.
Five dimensions of impact – future orientation, problem-solving ability, mental agility, determination, and social outcome ability – are trainable skills.
From thinking to action – results-oriented power is not a soft skill, but measurable, tangible and directly transferable to everyday life, leadership and transformation.
Humans create the future – algorithms calculate, but only we can shape the future, endure contradictions and create viable results from them.
HUMAN IMPACT is the impetus for all those who want to prepare for the future early on – high performers, creative self-directors. For people who want more than just to conform: to maintain and actively shape their own significance, their own contribution, and their own uniqueness.
