AI 2026: Trends and Guidelines for Deployment

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

It is not the technology that is under pressure, but its integration into everyday business operations. Budgets are tightening, regulation is taking hold, and boards are demanding robust results rather than more roadmaps. The era of non-committal pilot projects is ending.

How Companies Become a Cybernetic Enterprise

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

To stay competitive, companies need a radical upgrade. The Cybernetic Enterprise transforms organizations into learning systems that adapt faster than their market changes.

AI Oracle 2026: The Most Important Trends for Decision-Makers

Tue, 03 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

2026 will be the year when the wheat is separated from the chaff in AI: it’s not the better model that makes the difference, but the ability to deliver impact under real-world conditions. What decision-makers need to know and do now so that AI evolves from experiment to true partner.

Between Tool and Gamechanger: How AI Drives the Cybernetic Enterprise

Wed, 14 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere. Yet lasting business value often remains elusive. Too many companies still see AI as a tool or quick fix, rather than what it can be: a strategic partner for continuous learning and adaptation. To achieve competitive advantages in a dynamic, data-driven world, organizations must fundamentally restructure themselves as a Cybernetic Enterprise, where AI is firmly anchored as a feedback and learning amplifier. Instead of viewing AI in isolation or as an add-on, it should become an integral part of the organizational operating system. Only when AI transforms data, processes, and customer interactions into actionable learning does a useful tool become a true gamechanger, one that makes companies more agile, capable of learning, and future-oriented.

Cybernetic Enterprise: The New Operating System for Organizations

Wed, 24 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Most companies that work in an agile way today while simultaneously trying to implement AI will not survive the next decade, in my opinion. The reason: their operating system is too old. The future is not agile. The future is not AI either. The future is cybernetic.

Agility in Action: Mindset, Processes, and Real Results

Sun, 07 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

How much agility can software development really handle, and where does agility tip into chaos? In this episode of the “Modern Work 2 Go” podcast (in German), I speak with Florian Schneider about exactly these questions. We dive deep into a concrete real-world example: an agile transformation at a Swiss bank that I accompanied over eight years. The conversation covers the shift from waterfall to agility, scaling with SAFe, building value streams, and why continuous improvement is the central pillar of every transformation.

What if your organization is literally running on an outdated operating system? In this video, we explore the concept of the Cybernetic Enterprise and why it represents a fundamental upgrade for how businesses operate.

Digitalization was Yesterday: How to Achieve “Cybernetic Transformation”

Sun, 24 Aug 2025 06:06:36 +0000

You automated processes, optimized technology, and drove massive change dynamics over the past two decades: digitalization. But in a world where artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming a constant sparring partner, it is reaching its limits. Too often, it stops at isolated optimizations and fails to address systemic challenges. What companies now need is a mental upgrade to a new “operating system.” The organization of the future must be continuously learning, relentlessly data-driven, and uncompromisingly customer-centric. The journey there is strategic. The “Cybernetic Transformation” starts now.

From Humans and Machines: The Organization of the Future

Mon, 18 Aug 2025 20:55:07 +0000

“Hey colleague!” Soon, this could be how we greet the person at the next desk, while at the same time addressing an AI system. In the future, Artificial Intelligence (AI) will no longer be just a technical tool, but an active team member. In four integration phases, ranging from assistance to co-creation, moderation, and ultimately high autonomy under human oversight, it will grow steadily and naturally into value streams, meetings, and decision-making processes. The organization of the future understands AI as part of its nervous system: continuously learning and permanently feedback-driven. Welcome to the era of Cybernetic Transformation.

DevOps Is Dead? Why Platform Engineering and SRE Need DevOps More Than Ever

Tue, 10 Jan 2023 00:00:00 +0000

The internet is full of posts claiming that DevOps is dead. “DevOps is bullshit.” “Platform Engineering will replace DevOps.” “SRE is the future.” In this video, I explain why all of these claims are wrong, where they come from, and how DevOps, Platform Engineering, and Site Reliability Engineering actually relate to each other.

The Future of DevOps: Top Trends to Watch in 2023

Sun, 01 Jan 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Two years of trend predictions later, the DevOps conversation has shifted. In 2021 we talked about adoption. In 2022 we mapped trends onto the adoption lifecycle. In 2023 the most useful lens is the value stream: how products get built, run, quality-assured, monitored, organised, enabled and industrialised end-to-end. Most organisations still suffer from silos and project-based annual planning. The 2023 trends are about closing those gaps.

High-Quality Work in Software Engineering and Building Great Developer Experience

Fri, 09 Dec 2022 00:00:00 +0000

What defines high-quality work in software engineering? Is it Scrum? Clean Code? TDD? Functional programming? In this Expert Talks session, my colleague Milan and I present two complementary perspectives. Milan covers the pillars of high-quality engineering work, from team building and customer centricity to clean code and engineering culture. I then show how DevOps and continuous delivery help build great products by moving from a project mindset to a product mindset.

Baloise OpenX Day: Keynote on DevOps, Value Streams, and Platform Engineering

Wed, 23 Nov 2022 00:00:00 +0000

I was invited to deliver the keynote at the Baloise OpenX Day, an internal conference where Baloise brings together their technology community. The session combined impulse presentations with interactive discussions, giving me the chance to share DevOps fundamentals and then hear directly from the teams about their real challenges. The conversations with the Baloise engineers were incredibly valuable, especially around topics like continuous deployment in regulated industries and the role of platform engineering.

DevOps: Thinking in Systems and Value Streams

Wed, 19 Oct 2022 00:00:00 +0000

In this conference talk, I discuss one of the most fundamental topics in DevOps: thinking in systems and value streams. When I work with companies on their DevOps transformations, I consistently see the same patterns. The business has bright ideas. They write them into Word documents and Jira tickets. They throw them over a wall of confusion to development. Development builds something and throws it to testing. Testing compares what was specified with what was built (never quite the same), tests something, and throws it to operations. Operations asks “How can we operate that?” and somehow, with great effort, they get it running. Then the customer sees it and says: “What is that? That is not what we ordered.”
