In this episode of the ‘amtlich voran’ podcast, our guest is Dr Dorit Bosch, founder of STATE CRAFT, initiator of the #Mindshift Festivals, podcast host and civil servant. Dorit is committed to highlighting the power for change that already exists within public authorities and administrations – and to unleashing it in a targeted way. One quote from the conversation has particularly stuck with me: “You are not alone.” – For pioneers who are breaking new ground within their organisations, this message often makes all the difference between frustration and a fresh start.
Among other things, we discussed the following topics:
🚀 Pioneers need more than just passion
Many people drive change within public authorities alongside their actual job. Dorit argues that this work should be officially recognised and that genuine transformation roles should be created within the civil service.
🧠 Why systemic thinking is so important
Anyone who wants to shape change must be able to switch between working on the details and taking a holistic view. Dorit explains why public administrations should do more to foster different ways of thinking in order to remain fit for the future.
🤝 Community rather than going it alone
Through her #Mindshift Festivals, Dorit brings together people from public administration, the judiciary, security agencies and the business sector. This creates a network of change-makers who strengthen and inspire one another.
