New year new me
new me New year. Same procedure as every year. New year new me. New years resolutions. This year is different though. After my year 2021 started with a huge catastrophe, a drama of epic dimensions, that didn’t get any better for the rest, 2022 is going to be different. More like 2020, that was a clusterfuck for different reasons.
So, whatever happens, this year is going to be different than last year. Either the pandemic get better, or global warming gets worse. Either way. It’s going to be different. 2022 going to be back to normal.
It’s going to be more structured. It’s going to be more mindful. The twenty x project is coming back, kicking it off with this post. Business ambition is back. Collaboration and new work are important topics. When everybody still debates the New Normal, teamwork and structured approaches are the basis for maintaining mental health in remote and hybrid work environments. Calendar, E-Mail and Contacts form the basis for entire teams, their importance is tremendous in this new normal. All collaboration depends on flawless exchange and knowledge of these assets, but shift towards WhatsApp, Slack and Microsoft Teams. Live editing of documents is going to dominate the way teams work together, along with novel models and methods that are yet to come. Not to mention the capabilities of artificial intelligence that will create shortcuts for users to become more productive.
Labs Talk is a new experience that will help me develop new skills. Producing content for a live format is something that I haven’t done yet. Sure, I gave talks for IEEE and trainings for software vendors. However, none of these were recorded for later consumption. Having conversations with executives is one thing, producing these for on-demand consumption requires a different approach.
And I have personal goals. This year looks like regular cardio workout looks achievable. Setting a goal for late summer seems feasible. The marathon distance can be done, but requires discipline. This year I believe I can make the room for this discipline once again.
New year new me.

Experience Conflict
Customer Experience will get back customer centricity in 2022. A good way to start the year is with a fnord.
Of course one needs to ask to learn how customers feel or use a product to improve. Sometimes these needs and goals are conflicting and easy to mess up the experience.
Printer Survey Twitter user @pikelet found this on a Canon printer.

More Internet Technology Predictions
Glasbowl. From the article. 5 Internet Technology Predictions for 2022
Of course, the predictions include the metaverse. You’ll be surprised by this particular prediction, number 5 in the article. However, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was true. Chances are vague, though.

Mobility Features
Die Automobilbranche schaut ja schon länger auf die Erfolgsstories der Softwareindustrie. Mieten statt kaufen, monatliche Einnahmen statt einmaliger Kosten. Für die Standheizung nur im Winter bezahlen zu müssen scheint dem ein- oder anderen Kunden ja auch noch nachvollziehbar zu sein. Wie der Benutzer @_uni_corn_ auf Twitter berichtet, kann es allerdings sein, dass Skoda den Ansatz überzieht.
Ich finde Skoda übertreibt das mit den kostenpflichtigen Zusatzfeatures etwas…
