Technologies: From the inside out - the efficiency trap
Many companies are falling into an efficiency trap here. They work from the inside out, i.e. they invest in their own company instead of in their customers. Ultimately, however, it is precisely their satisfaction that decides whether a company can be successful in the long term. That's why we have to think the other way round - from the outside to the inside (Kröger, 2018).
Waterfall
The approach to waterfall thinking
"Especially in German-speaking countries it is still widespread that companies prefer to plan long, prepare long and then search for error-free solutions. But digital technologies have increased the speed and so solutions have to be tested and implemented quickly and efficiently". (Talin, 2018).
