Cyber criminals are changing their tactics and following us into our offices at home. This also increases the cyber risks posed to our companies. Offices at home can therefore become a gateway for new forms of data theft. Are we now helplessly and capriciously exposed to this data theft?

Diversity is about everyone, which means it’s about you, too. The focus of it often gets boiled down to gender and promoting women since isolated sectors, such as IT, are often represented by men. But diversity encompasses so much more than that. In my blog post, I will show you how diversity has a positive effect on teams and their success.

Managing team members remotely is something that we have had to deal with more and more during the pandemic. Remote working results in physical distance between teams, which affects communication. In my blog post, I will give you tips on how to maintain communication within your team and overcome the challenges posed by being in different locations.

When it comes to digital progress, we repeatedly criticise the status quo of digital infrastructure and tools in companies in Germany. But if we only ever talk about the technical side, we fall into one of the biggest traps of digitalisation: digital transformation is not achieved by simply updating hardware and software, but above all by changing the way people think.

Many people have the feeling or perception that time is racing by. Why is that? In my blog post, I’d like to share my experiences from my time at adesso so far with you, explain how I managed to decelerate my life and give you some tips on how you can do the same.

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.

Key performance indicators (KPIs) are being increasingly used as a control and steering instrument in companies and in projects. Managers also require them to be met. But what are they and what are they for? And what are the challenges and success factors in defining and calculating key performance indicators? I will explain them in my blog post.

Colours have significant meaning in our lives and trigger feelings and emotions in us, making them a key factor when designing the user experience. The choice of colour can also influence the behaviour and decisions of users. In my blog post, I explain the role of colour contrasts, certain symbols and the visual hierarchies.

During the first lockdown, Jon Bailey, a former British sailor, received a lot of attention – including from me – on social media platform Twitter after his tips for working from home went viral. Admittedly, that was quite a while ago and most people have more or less become used to the ‘new normal’ since then. Having said that, there’s no getting away from the fact that the days spent working at home all seem to blend into one and we jump at the chance to add a little variety to our routine. In this post, I’d like to share some of Bailey’s tips with you, as well as some personal recommendations from my colleagues at adesso. Who knows, maybe you’ll come across a tip or two that will help you emerge from the subaquatic world of working from home.
