The Pop in Your Job – Was mich begeistert...

...ist, dass wir in der IT stetig unsere Komfortzone verlassen müssen, um neue Technologien und Trends zu verstehen und zu erlernen. Die Digitale Transformation verschiebt unsere Perspektive von der Technologie als einziges Entscheidungskriterium zu den Bedürfnissen der Nutzer als neuen führenden Maßstab. Dadurch rücken viele neue spannende Themen wie z.B. UX (User Experience) in unseren Arbeitsalltag und erweitern unseren Horizont.
Allen Trends wie z.B. AI zum Trotz bin ich davon überzeugt, dass die menschliche Schaffenskraft und vor allem unsere Fähigkeit zur Assoziation und Improvisation uns durch Technologie niemals vollständig ersetzbar macht.
