Der Newsletter für nachhaltige Transformation Made in Germany.

Über den Standort Deutschland wird viel geklagt. Doch Jammern bringt uns nicht weiter – Handeln schon!

Die globalen Rahmenbedingungen können wir kaum beeinflussen. Was wir beeinflussen können, ist wie gut Unternehmen digital, agil und zukunftsfähig aufgestellt sind.

In diesem Newsletter teile ich wöchentlich meine Erfahrungen, Erkenntnisse und Impulse aus Digital-, Transformations- und Change-Projekten: Kurz. Praxisnah. Kostenfrei.

Mein Antrieb: Viele kleine, konsequente Schritte können große Wirkung entfalten.

The Flip Phone Rebel

Despite developing state-of-the-art AI technology, Alex Rodriguez sports a beat-up flip phone that's become something of a local legend in San Francisco's tech circles. "It's my conversation starter," he jokes. "I can build complex machine learning algorithms, but I refuse to give up my trusty Nokia."

Technology isn't just about the latest gadget—it's about solving real-world problems that can genuinely improve people's lives.

His colleagues often tease him about the phone, but Alex sees it as a symbol of his unconventional approach to technology. "Just because something is old doesn't mean it's not valuable," he says with a grin. "Same goes for people, algorithms, and apparently, mobile phones."

A graduate of Stanford's computer science program, Alex embodies the innovative spirit of San Francisco's tech ecosystem—proving that breakthrough innovation can come from someone who still uses T9 texting.

Did You Know? The first computer bug was literally a bug—in 1947, Grace Hopper found a moth trapped in a Harvard Mark II computer, coining the term "debugging" in the process.
