Since the Bologna Process of the 2000s, not only systematic changes in science teaching and learning structures have become apparent, but also the need for reform at the management level of universities. A landscape of modernization approaches with components such as strategy and structure, measurability of performance, or process economy via key figures will not find lasting acceptance in the administrative landscape. One component of the reform approaches remained underdeveloped: the cultural change toward a motivating working environment for academic and non-academic professionals. In this respect, this research is mainly dedicated to questions of how a transformation can be implemented in administrative structures through motivation, a methodical approach to change, the establishment of jointly lived attitudes and values as well as the design of a sense of togetherness. Conceptually, reference is made to the "Theory of Absorptive Capacity" based on Cohen/Levinthal for innovative capacity and the future viability of organizations, including three partial capabilities. This leads to a brief overview of fundamental approaches to change management from the point of view of organizational design to increase the maturity of organizational change. A quantitative survey shows reasons, what reasons are existing, and why high potentials are leaving the administrative sector using the example of German-speaking countries. Based on this exemplary survey on changes in work requirements, the importance of recruitment and the possibility of winning over ‘designers’ will be presented. The aim is to show possibilities to derive recommendations on service initiatives to launch efficient reforms in the public learning management
