Due to some lunch talks in the last weeks about books, i thought it could be valuable for you, to share a bit about my book readings from this year. No. 1 "Gamification, Digitization and Industry 4.0" is an interesting book for anyone dealing with the creation of new SaaS products, the future of work and general tech. management. It offers from my opinion valuable insights into the opportunities that arise from the digital transformation and shows how gamification can be used to seize these opportunities. In all of the three dimensions: product development, future of work and management as such. Everything explained on real gamification examples. Target group: all product developer, product manager and software manager, software developer, ux folks which are or want to work in the SaaS business or/and are (they should!) interested in the future of work. https://lnkd.in/eAWYGMUB #gamification #industry40 #digital #futureofwork #book #recommendation

The latest Bitkom Cloud Study once again confirms the importance of cloud technology for the digitalization and thus ultimately the competitiveness of German companies. The demand for cloud services continues to rise unabated, driven in particular by the digitalization of internal processes as well as AI and cybersecurity. The demand for AI applications alone will double in the next 5 years. 40% of companies are already relying on cloud-only or cloud-first strategies. Accordingly, cloud services will dominate IT in just a few years. However, bottleneck factors in this transformation are costs, time and the shortage of skilled workers. - We offer suitable solutions for this.

Automation makes manager satisfied 95% of DACH companies are satisfied with their company's level of automation to date, 29% are even "very" satisfied. 100 and 500 automated processes are the basis for more than half (54%) of these high values. A good nine percent of companies have already automated more than 500 processes, while just under 17 percent have automated between 50 and 100. These are the findings of the latest "Intelligent Process Automation 2024" study. The C-level is the most satisfied with the level of automation, both in IT and beyond: 46% of the relevant decision-makers are "very satisfied". In IT management and the IT department, the figure is only 20 percent. The vast majority of respondents from IT management, IT departments and specialist departments are at least "fairly satisfied" with the current status of automation. End-to-end process automation is comparatively high in the companies surveyed: 21% say it is "very high", 35% say it is "high" and 29% say it is "fairly high". The study also highlights the importance of artificial intelligence in the context of process automation: 73% already use AI methods such as ML, natural language processing or generative AI. It is to be expected that these figures will continue to rise sharply in the short to medium term. #Automation #AI #Cloud #CloudFirst https://lnkd.in/eqxMy7hy

Forecast: 75% of software developers will use AI assistants Gartner is convinced: 75% of software developers will use AI code assistants by 2028 - up from less than ten percent at the beginning of 2023. In addition, according to Gartner, 63% of companies are in the process of testing, using or have already implemented AI code assistants, which usually enable significantly more functions than just code generation and completion. Software engineering leaders therefore need to determine the ROI and make a business case when scaling the introduction of AI code assistants. However, this is where traditional ROI frameworks no longer fit, as they focus on metrics that concentrate on cost reduction. This limited perspective does not capture the full value of AI code assistants. In order to use the full potential of the assistants, a realignment of the ROI discussions is therefore crucial. For example, the ROI discussion needs to shift from cost reduction to value creation in order to build an effective value creation story that goes beyond traditional ROI metrics. It makes sense to include the time saved in code generation in the calculation. Furthermore, those responsible should link the value creation factors with the effects and then analyze the overall return for the company. #AI #GenAI #Coding #Cloud #CloudFirst https://lnkd.in/ewXB-5uj

"... 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱". 📆 Yesterday, we at Microsoft presented the next wave of Copilot innovations. 🔎 Handelsblatt has taken this opportunity to explore in great depth how and whether these new features will convince some of the "skeptics" who doubt that AI does and will drive actual value. It might sound like a matter of "mere believe" 🤔 – but it's not. As always, there is data. A recent representative survey by Civey shows that (since the beginning of the year) 1️⃣ the use of Microsoft Copilot among knowledge workers in Germany has tripled. 2️⃣ one in ten already uses Copilot regularly (currently mainly in larger companies) 3️⃣ around 40 percent say: I work faster and achieve better results. 💶 And IDC states: “For every dollar a company invests in AI, it achieves an average return of $3.50.” So, the momentum is there 🏄. But one thing is clear: value from AI will only be created with actual usage. Not through theoretical debate. ➡ Therefore, our role at Microsoft Germany is to help organizations and individuals to adopt the technology, build the skills and drive the change in order to derive value.

🔎 "𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗮 (𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆) 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗚𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆?" This was one of the questions I got from Thomas M. Kuhn in my very recent interview with WirtschaftsWoche. He even asked twice and I insisted: no, I don't see Germany "far behind" on the global digital innovation scale. 🔄 Yes, there are many great examples of digital citizen services in Singapore that Thomas and me talked about. But there is a really good foundation in Germany that we can build on: strong and established ecosystems, deep skills, a very active research community and a broad range of corporate activity, from famous Mittelstand to super large global players. The best: with AI we can now "supercharge" this potential 🚀. ↗ We also talked about AI already being used at scale in Germany (shout out to Siemens for their Industrial Copilot, one of the many examples), our Microsoft investment into Data Center capacity in Germany and our "obsession" with accelerating AI "skilling". 🙏 Thank you very much Thomas for the varied set of topics we covered and the passionate exchange.

Accile ERP Chronicles: Daily Industry News Olaf Scholz Leads Farewell Tributes to Hasso Plattner In a recent statement, the German Chancellor praised Hasso Plattner for being an exceptional global success story that originated in Germany. This description speaks to the immense impact and influence of Plattner's accomplishments not only in his home country, but also on a global scale. It is a testament to the entrepreneurial spirit and determination that Germany fosters, and serves as an inspiration for others to follow suit. #GermanPride #HomegrownSuccess One key insight that can be drawn from this statement is the importance of supporting and nurturing local talent and potential. In this case, the German Chancellor recognizes and celebrates the success of one of their own, highlighting the significance of investing in and promoting homegrown talent. This highlights the potential for countries to build and develop their own unique success stories, tapping into the strengths and resources within their own borders. #LocalTalent #SupportYourOwn Another key takeaway from this statement is the power of determination and drive in achieving global success. Hasso Plattner's accomplishments serve as a reminder that through hard work, dedication, and perseverance, even the most ambitious goals can be achieved. This reinforces the notion that with the right mindset and determination, anything is possible, and success knows no boundaries. #Determination #GlobalSuccess.

Language Technology #LI2024 started with a high-level overview of what the technologies can do. I put forward the thought that LLMs are part of a larger puzzle and, like operating systems, will be the basis upon which creativity and applications run. And then, there is open-source software (Linux) and many flavours. Running a company that loses $5Bn / year is not a sweet pill for most investors, certainly not for many European investors (and the rest of the world). Betting on its business continuity is a leap of faith. This may fuel the birth of "the third way" or the myriad of smaller models. Most experts agree that general models are not reliable sources of information (music to my ears and for ECOChat). Most PoCs fail because of unrealistic expectations and managers who do not understand the technology, a point also driven home by Kirti Vashee during his talk in the afternoon. So, it is time for solutions that actually solve problems! LLMs will play a part, but not necessarily big models. Agentic AI (what we used to call "workflows" and graphs not long ago), with several checking stages depending on the application, is likely to rule.

📚 Book Recommendation: Stand Firm by Svend Brinkmann 📚 In a world that constantly pushes us to be more flexible, more adaptable, and more self-improving, Svend Brinkmann's "Stand Firm" offers a refreshing counter-narrative. This thought-provoking book challenges the pervasive culture of continuous self-improvement and relentless positivity that often leads to burnout and dissatisfaction. Brinkmann, a psychology professor, argues for the value of standing firm in one's beliefs and commitments, rather than endlessly chasing change and self-optimization. He draws on philosophy and psychology to provide practical advice on how to maintain a stable and fulfilling life. His seven-step guide includes: 1️⃣ Cut out the self-help: Instead of constantly seeking to improve, learn to accept and appreciate yourself as you are. 2️⃣ Focus on the negative: Embrace life's challenges and difficulties rather than avoiding them. 3️⃣ Put on the No hat: Set boundaries and learn to say no to unnecessary demands. 4️⃣ Suppress your feelings: Find a balance between emotional expression and stoicism. 5️⃣ Sack your coach: Rely on your own judgment and values instead of external motivators. 6️⃣Read a novel – not a self-help book or biography: Engage with literature that broadens your perspective and empathy. 7️⃣Dwell on the past: Reflect on your past experiences to understand yourself better and gain insight for the future. "Stand Firm" is not just a critique of the self-help industry; it's a call to live a more meaningful, grounded, and resilient life. If you're feeling overwhelmed by the constant pressure to improve and succeed, this book might just be the antidote you need. Have you read "Stand Firm"? I'd love to hear your thoughts and takeaways! And thanks to our People House the LEGO Group reading club for sharing this gem 💎 #BookRecommendation #PersonalDevelopment #MentalHealth #WorkLifeBalance

Paper instead of software? How far digitalization has really come in Germany A survey shows that 18% of companies continue to work on paper. E-mail (30%), Excel (27%) and the company's own communication tools (26%) are used. Decision-makers in companies have now realized that digital tools make work and communication more efficient, more reliable and even more environmentally friendly than working on paper, for example. 80% therefore now see an urgent need to introduce systems that improve process transparency and streamline the completion of tasks. As many as 24% also work with software developed specifically for their requirements, which shows the increasing trend towards the use of technology for automation and rationalization. According to the survey, a quarter of respondents do not have sufficient resources available to carry out such projects, while 22% are already struggling with the effort involved in researching possible tools. A further 25% feel resistance within the team. For 22%, the processes are not sufficiently mapped and standardized to be digitized. It simply shows that there is a long way to go towards "Digitalization"... #Digitalization #Cloud #CloudFirst https://lnkd.in/eJFu5pUF
