In the IT world, we are confronted with complex decisions on a daily basis - be it in architecture planning, technology selection or proposal management. Faced with limited rationality and an uncertain world, we often resort to heuristics: simple, quick decision-making strategies that offer effective solutions despite limited information. From "tallying" to "take-the-best" - in our new blog post, we introduce you to practical heuristics that will help you make smart decisions without getting bogged down in complexity.

Organisations and individuals face the challenge of effectively directing their energy and attention in a world of constant change and uncertainty. The Circle of Influence is a concept that can help you to focus on the things you can really influence, thereby increasing your effectiveness and satisfaction. I explain what this concept is all about in my blog post.

In the manufacturing industry, there is often talk of digital transformation. This is intended to pave the way for Industry 4.0. The opportunities and potential benefits of digitalisation are well known. The question is: why is it still only making slow progress? I get to the bottom of this question in my blog post.

For some time now, agility has been a guiding principle, a mindset, something akin to a philosophy to succeed in today’s business world. But with so many agile approaches to choose from, it is easy to lose sight of the big picture. We will therefore be taking a look at various agile methods from different angles. The aim is to help you choose the right method for you.

WOL will revolutionise the way we work and collaborate in the future. Rather by chance, I came across a course called ‘Working Out Loud (WOL)’ on the adesso eCampus, which really excited me and still does today. In my blog post, I will present the WOL method in greater detail and demonstrate the concrete benefits for employees and companies.

In this blog post, we would like to present the Visual Studio Code extensions that are indispensable in our day-to-day work as experts in the fields of machine learning, data engineering and AI. If you do not have the appropriate extensions, Visual Studio Code would not be a full-fledged integrated development environment (IDE). But with the right ones, you can save yourself a lot of work and become more productive as a developer.

In a rapidly changing environment, where needs, markets and technologies are changing at an ever-increasing pace, it is important not to lose focus and to adapt to the speed of these changes. This jungle can be described using the acronym VUCA – which is short for volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity. In this blog post, we will explain exactly what this means and how to escape the VUCA world.

Since agile regression develops gradually, the indicators are very difficult to recognise in everyday life or can only be recognised at a late stage. To counteract this, we’ll describe direct, point-by-point approaches for mitigating agile regression here in our latest blog post.

You would think that by now companies would’ve become familiar with social media and use it as a matter of course. However, there are some things that are still being done wrong or neglected, even by long-established players. In my blog post, I’d like to point out the most common mistakes that I encounter time and again when analysing companies’ social media.
