In einem Artikel des Harvard Business Review (May-2020) unter dem Titel "Digital Transformation Comes Down to Talent in 4 Key Areas" werden in einem Abschnitt die "Purple People" als "those able to work on both sides" - also Technologie und "human side of change" - erwähnt. (siehe unten)
Ich habe hier zum allerersten Mal etwas von "Purple People" gelesen / gehört und eine Internet-Suche liefert nicht wirklich etwas erhellendes...
Ist der Begriff "Purple People" in der englisch-sprechenden Welt bekannt(er)?

Organizational Change Capability
In this domain we include leadership, teamwork, courage, emotional intelligence, and other elements of change management. Fortunately, much has been written about this domain for many years, so we won’t review it here, other than to note that anyone responsible for digital transformation must be well-versed in the area. While, we have no firm evidence to support this, it seems that those who gravitate toward technology, data, and process are somewhat less likely to embrace the human side of change. Of course, in our recommendations above, we have urged leaders to seek those with excellent people skills. If you are unable to find them, a good alternative is to put some “purple people,” those able to work on both sides, on the transformation team.
