Marcelo and I have been talking about probably the most interesting study on AI 2025. arxiv.org/pdf/2506.08872

During our recent discussion, Marcelo brought up the concept of paradigm-induced blindness, which was a key topic in our episode. This idea suggests that when people are entrenched in a particular way of thinking, they may become oblivious to new opportunities or solutions outside of that framework.

Another version of The Week In Tech, Management And Transformation is out. Its another iteration on my Newsletter project, curating my personal newsfeed and sharing them with whoever wants to follow my readinglist 😘 open.substack.com/pub/stellarw... Let me know what you think!

Although expanding agile practices often involves different terminologies and organizing meetings, I started to ponder... how aligned do you truly need to be? I had a conversation with Marcelo, and we came up with an excellent analogy. Get the full episode over here: stellarwork.start.page

I wanted to summarize my learnings from the first couple of #AI Implementation Projects with my clients. I wanted to write this without hype or future promises. Just a snapshot of the current state and how to navigate it. -> www.stellarwork.com/captains-log...

It appears that critical thinking has left the chat 😱. I’m not sure about you, but whenever I engage with AI, I tend to accept its outputs without questioning them, simply because they seem persuasive... In our latest episode, I explore this very subject with Marcelo Lopez.

In the hustle and bustle of manufacturing, it’s not uncommon for managers to lose touch with front-line workers. But when companies seek out and heed input from these employees, everyone benefits: Employers see higher productivity, and employees see higher pay.

This weeks episode is a fun one. Marcelo has been working everywhere in tech it seams and has a track record longer than his beard. Were covering everything from agile to how AI is affecting our way of working. stellarwork.start.page

The Week In Tech Transformation And Management Newsletter is out. Actually it is since yesterday 😁 open.substack.com/pub/stellarw... Let me know what you think!

After recording with Philipp, here are my top three takeaways: 1. Start small: pilots help derisk big changes. 2. Act during good times: don’t wait for a crisis to innovate. 3. Rapid learning loops make the difference outpace the competition by focusing on speed.

What are your thoughts on receiving a weekly overview of all things related to Tech Management and Transformation? I've been experimenting with this concept, and here's a potential format for the newsletter.

One thing Philipp shared really stuck with me: at Rittal, rapid prototyping in hardware isn’t just a buzzword, it’s a muscle. By testing ideas quickly, their teams bring new solutions to life without getting bogged down by perfection early on. stellarwork.start.page

Phew, finally done editing the episode with Marcelo Lopez! Its about critical thinking in business and how it became even more important in the age of AI. Its a fun episode that i really enjoyed making. also thats why its crazy long 😵‍💫 It'll air next monday, so stay tuned😉

Holy smokes. Reached Inbox Zero 😵

Why gamble everything on a big bang rollout? Rittal’s strategy starts change with a small pilot team experiment, learn, and then scale. It’s a practical way to discover what works and build trust before taking the leap across the whole organization.

Transforming your company when things are going well might feel counterintuitive, but Philipp’s “fix the roof when the sun is shining” mantra makes a lot of sense. When times are good, you have the resources and headspace to prepare for future challenges. -> stellarwork.start.page

What’s the secret to staying ahead of competitors? Iterate faster! Rittal’s focus on quick cycles means they learn from each round and adjust rapidly. Outcompeting others isn’t just about big ideas it’s about how quickly you can test, learn, and improve. stellarwork.start.page

Take a look at the contrast in those trajectories. The speed at which China is capturing the car industry is astonishing. What's even more astonishing is that most Europeans are unfamiliar with the leading brands. Who has heard of SAIC or Chery? www.mckinsey.com/cn/our-insig...

Smaller institutions struggle less with AI-Transformations? What a shocker 😱 www.mckinsey.com/capabilities...

No way the UK's tax authority (HMRC) was running their operations off of a US data center ... but they were! AWS us-east-1 outage knocked them offline, and exposed relying on US infra to serve the British public Ironic from a government with ample home grown DCs + talent

Following this McKinsey & Company narrative, what will be the Lovable of Investment Products (Research)? www.mckinsey.com/industries/f...

"AI isn’t just for efficiency anymore. It can double the pace of R&D to unlock up to half a trillion dollars in value annually. " In the near future, “fresh ideas” may be less a product of human inspiration and more of AI’s creative leaps. 🤷‍♂️ www.mckinsey.com/capabilities...

After speaking with Henrik Kniberg for the podcast, I want to share three things I learned: 🚀 AI isn’t just a tool—it works best when used alongside people. You get the most benefit when humans and AI work together.

How many iteration should one take using AI? Is one prompt enough? Me and Henrik Kniberg had a chat about the AI Software Development and in this case how much AI do we really need to complete a specific task? Get the full episode here: stellarwork.start.page

The AI bubble is 17 times the size of the dot-com frenzy and four times the subprime bubble, analyst says. Maybe that’s why the Handelsblatt shaped in the form of one 🤷‍♂️ Anyway. Here’s the interesting story about it: www.marketwatch.com/story/the-ai...

My interview with Philipp was really inspiring. Just sooo many market insights on the automotive industry 😍 Just a couple for you out of our episode:

Heres a quick update on the "car issue". I wanted to get a Polestar 4 but I already posted why that didn't quite worked out. Anyway, I might as well post here how the hunt ended :)

Things are moving very fast and predicting the future is hard, if not impossible. Yet I still wanted to ask the most up to date person out there: Philipp Raasch - Der Autopreneur. Check out our full episode over here: stellarwork.start.page #automotive #leadership #tesla #markets #china

General-purpose robots are making the leap from sci-fi to the workplace. The new wave of “embodied AI” enables robots to learn, adapt, and act in real time going far beyond their predecessor’s single-task focus 🤯

Interviewing Gitte Klitgaard challenged and inspired me in ways I didn’t expect. Here are my key takeaways:

Ah, the sweet irony. They impose export sanctions, and instead of the 'evil Chinese' suffering from it, they respond with resilience and make themselves independent. Now the tables have turned, and NVIDIA is left empty-handed.

Can’t tell this often enough. If you’re in tech, subscribe to the Pragmatic Engineer. This week’s deep dive with Laura Tacho is really good. They are exploring how tech companies are measuring their AI impact on software dev. newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/how-tech-c...
