many of you enjoyed "Bertrand Russell’s Chicken". This is the 𝙨𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙙 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮. Russell’s parable of the chicken and Spencer Johnson’s Cheese story share a common lesson—life is unfair to those who don’t notice, deny and resist change. The cheese will move, and the farmer’s habits may change. The key to survival is not clinging to old realities but anticipating shifts and adapting quickly. Don’t take stability for granted—stay prepared, keep moving, and always look for new opportunities.

Arbeit mit und für die Anwendung von KI - das sollte nicht nur für die öffentliche Verwaltung gelten.
Wie bei allem irgendwie braucht das auch #ChangeManagement. Letztendlich bietet KI viele Potenziale Arbeit zu verbessern und damit auch viele Potenziale Arbeit zu verändern.

Cognitive dissonance
Until February 2025, Europe had been a willing tool of US foreign policy. Realizing it just now, the rulers cannot change their belief in standing for good versus evil. So they choose to change their narrative from one of enlightenment to one of rearmament.
"In spite of all the grand-standing and posturing, Europe has been reduced to a geopolitical appendage of the United States, following Washington’s lead in prolonging the conflict while shouldering the costs. While the EU sees itself as a global moral authority, it has been sidelined in actual negotiations. Instead, peace talks are being brokered by the U.S. and China, with Europe playing no decisive role. Even within the European Parliament, there exists a near-religious belief in a narrative that contradicts basic military and economic realities."

Too often, new managers arrive with a 'there are no stupid questions' mindset—challenging everything, regardless of merit. While critical thinking is valuable, indiscriminate questioning disrupts expertise, wastes time, and fosters a blame culture rather than real progress.
What's your take? Have you experienced a blank slate manager? How did it impact your organisation?

A useful summary of "directions in making large scale change happen" used by The Horizons Team at National Health Service England
"Many people in IT […] are bearers of ‘bad news’, they try to convince people of different paradigms, which are not yet welcome as the expectations are still based on poor ideas about what is assumed to work. Making their life worse is a constant stream of bad Enterprise/IT Architects–Strategists that — generally as consultants — bring welcome (but faulty) good news to the top."

« Tout se transforme, rien ne demeure » -- Platon dans Cratyle
Le changement n'est pas difficile. Il arrive tout le temps. Le changement que TU veux peut être difficile parce que « l'enfer, c'est les autres » (Sartre).
"Everything changes, nothing stands still" -- Plato in Cratylus
Change is not difficult. It happens all the time. YOUR change may be difficult because "hell is other people" (Sartre).
@ttarses Du hast m.E. Recht: Alle sind mit vorhandenen Lösungen unzufrieden, wollen keine Veränderungen, bewerten die Situation als aussichtslos. Kann man nix machen 
Idee: Man muss sich in #Changemanagement #Anforderungsanalys & Design #Projektmanagement fit machen, braucht eine*n gute*n IT Architekt*in in den eigenen Reihen, am Besten aus der freien Wirtschaft wegen #KnowHow Transfer. Alle Elemente könnten sich mehrere #Kommunen teilen.

Only time you push stuff to production on a Friday or the weekend for that matter, is on your homelab.
Some IT people work in an environment of fear. They’re afraid to do routine system maintenance that might take the system down for awhile.
The crazy thing is, scheduled maintenance downtime will be less impactful than unscheduled emergency downtime.
The solutions are to have upper management fully supportive of system maintenance, and a smoothly functioning change management process that includes mechanisms for incorporating patches and updates into the workflow.
If you WORK FOR a company with a culture of fear surrounding routine system maintenance downtime, do yourself a favor and look for a new job.
If you OWN OR MANAGE a company with a culture of fear surrounding routine system maintenance downtime, do yourself a favor and call me. I can turn it around.
