DisruptHR Hamburg is a Breakfast Edition of the world-known and licensed DisruptHR format, coming to Hamburg for the first time and hosted by KLU. You could call it the “TedX for the future of work”: While the format originated in the HR space, the content itself goes beyond traditional HR topics. The talks focus more broadly on the future of work, the human side of organizations, and how people experience work, careers, and change, rather than on technical or operational aspects. After the 5-minute talks, a fast-paced format, we will offer interactive workshops / breakout sessions with limited capacity.
DisruptHR is a thought-provoking event designed to energize, inform, and to challenge how we think about work - and a great way to start the New Year!
Who is invited?
The event is intentionally open and broad: HR professionals, leaders, and anyone interested in the future of work. KLU also invites students, professors and staff to join.
Speakers on stage are, among others:
- Prof. Dr. Brooke A. Gazdag (KLU): AI’s Threat to Uniqueness and Belonging at Work
- Prof. Dr. Prisca Brosi (KLU): Emotion Management for Continuous Change
- Jörn Fleger (Netlight): The Importance of Side Quests in One’s Career
- Prof. Dr. Kai Hoberg (KLU): Supply Chain? What Everyone Needs to Know!
- Ruchi Kaushal (Castrol): Ambition, Rewritten: Why Leadership Still Runs on an Outdated Playbook
- Anna-Maria Kollenbrandt (INVERTO GmbH): Decision Speed Is the New Productivity
- Prof. Dr. Niels Van Quaquebeke (KLU): The Renaissance of Management in the Age of AI

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
