On the topic of "Digitalisation and Society", the Risk Dialogue Foundation addresses the question of how the digital transformation can succeed with people in the area of conflict between opportunities and threats.

We moderate the dialogue on digitalisation, develop and accompany new creative and lifelike approaches to solutions and take these into society for implementation - with information, experiments and participatory exchange. The following overarching goals are pursued:
  • To promote the knowledge and ability of individuals and organizations to deal with the consequences and areas of tension of our digital transformation.
  • Participatory development of pragmatic solutions with different stakeholders to address societal and political needs for action.
From dialogue events, participatory ideation, workshops with experts and everyday-experts, all the way to concrete prototype development. This is done in collaboration with various organizations from the startup, business, science, government, non-profit, and art sectors.

The DigitalBarometer, which is published annually, serves as a content compass. It shows how the Swiss population perceives the existing and upcoming changes in the context of digitization and what needs exist in terms of information and participation. Based on the results, the content-related starting points for projects are identified in order to support the population in the transformation process and to derive corresponding implications for the design or regulation of digitization (for politics, business, the population, etc.).

The DigitalBarometer and the spin-off projects derived from it are implemented operationally by the Risk Dialogue Foundation in the area of "Digitalisation & Society" and supported financially by Mobiliar Insurance from the area of social commitment.
