Outdated technology? Modernize now

Upgrading running systems needs good planning and consistency

Moving to the cloud is already old hat—nearly 80% of companies have already done it. Yet I often see them done half-heartedly and limited to simply transferring existing systems to new hardware in the cloud. Cloud systems have enormous advantages for companies if the necessary expertise is available.

Let's talk about the pink elephant in the room!

How DALL-E 2 makes AI progress visible to everyone.

I've been waiting for this for a long time. Now it's finally here: access to DALL-E 2. My anticipation was huge and I'm absolutely thrilled to see what's possible with the new system. When I received beta access last week, I immediately set out to try out the AI. Often, artificial intelligence is seen as abstract and something that can't be grasped. With DALL-E 2, AI becomes really tangible for the first time. We immediately see the results of AI's work - and they never cease to amaze me.

The universal solution Excel?

Achieve more structure, effectiveness and efficiency with new tools

Some hate it, others love it: Excel. Hardly any other program is used as much in companies today as Excel. Even though the gigantic calculator makes our work easier in many places, there are limits. The demands have increased, the data management has become more complex, the links more numerous - this can no longer be solved with Excel in an up-to-date manner. But how can we find new, more efficient ways to make data usable in different places?

Innovation stagnation and no new ideas?

How to remove barriers to thinking and give more space to innovation

"What could we build new so that we can tap into new customer groups?" Almost every company is repeatedly stuck in optimization loops without really reaching new customer groups through innovation and growth. Innovation is a process that needs to be managed and should not be left to chance.

Accelerate digital product development - but how?

Many digital projects are delayed, delivered in poor quality or fail altogether. What's the reason?

The new platform is delayed? The technology doesn't "deliver"? Budget constraints are being blown and bugs are piling up? Anyone who develops digital products knows these problems. I show how to work around the most common of these difficulties.

Business needs to "think tech"

Many executives do not have necessary basic technical knowledge

What is an API? What does it actually mean to be "in the cloud"? What was SaaS again? What are the impacts and consequences of tech tools and products on the business? As a "non-technical" person, what do I need to watch out for here? These are questions that many top managers and board members have in mind, but usually do not openly address. I explain why business must learn to understand technology.

A motivated team - the key to greater productivity

My team only works to rule. What can I do about it?

Every leader wants a motivated team that is engaged. But motivation doesn't just exist; it must be fostered. For people to give their best, they need appreciation, a clear vision and a leader who exemplifies it.

How do I find good developers?

Good developers cannot be recruited "classically".

Good developers are not a dime a dozen. They are precious and rare like diamonds. That's why companies don't just find them on traditional job platforms, but have to dig deeper. Read this article to find out how good developers can be found.

How remote working really works

The future is remote working - but many companies are still making mistakes

Remote working continues to be a present topic among companies and employees. There will be no return to full-time presence. It is therefore all the more important to ensure that remote working really works. How do things look in your company in this respect?

Growth or stagnation - which side is your company on?

Fostering growth with a growth mindset, curiosity and team spirit.

What was profitable before will be profitable tomorrow. Companies have to get rid of this idea. No one who wants to be successful tomorrow can afford to sleep through or ignore trends. It needs growth and development - with a growth mindset, curiosity and cohesion.

Reaching more customers digitally

Which platform and which measures bring success?

No company today can afford not to have a presence online. Having your own website is a must, but social media is also becoming increasingly important when it comes to reaching new customers digitally. Nevertheless, many companies burn a lot of money here without making an impact. So what do you need to pay attention to?

Growth needs courage to change

Security or change? Standstill or growth? In many companies, people long for one and yet cling to the other. The risk of putting the business at risk through change is simply too high for many. But it doesn't always have to be radical steps - new paths can also be taken and growth achieved on a small scale. But these also require courage. Do you have it?
