BI ist tot? Noch lange nicht!
Die Diskussionen im IT-Umfeld kreisen heute vorwiegend um Trendthemen wie künstliche Intelligenz (KI), Machine Learning, Chatbots, Blockchain oder Hackathons. Von Business Intelligence (BI) ist kaum noch die Rede. Bedeutet das also, dass diese inzwischen überflüssig ist? Die Antwort auf diese Frage lautet definitiv: nein. Dennoch lohnt sich ein genauerer Blick,

Augen auf bei der Berufswahl: der Influencer und Zukunftskompetenzen
Kürzlich habe ich mich sehr amüsiert über eine Reportage im Fernsehen: Man fragte Jugendliche, was sie mal beruflich machen wollen, und die Antworten waren „YouTube-Star“, „DJ“ und immer wieder auch „Influencer“. Letzteres ruft gerade bei der Ü30-Generation Verwunderung hervor, da man irgendwie an Grippe denkt – die Aussprache ist gleich,

DataViz Meetups: "Old-fashioned Companies sprechen wir old-fashioned an”, antwortet er!
Ich sitze im Büro und fingere durch den Papierberg aus meinem Postfach. Während ich ein Briefchen nach dem anderen ungelesen in den Mülleimer werfe, wundere ich mich, dass es so etwas wie Postfächer in einem Unternehmen, das Analyticssoftware herstellt, überhaupt noch gibt.
