Is Social Media a Waste of Time In Project Management?
Professional success has always been linked to who you know. Particularly in the professional sphere, people network with like-minded people in order to exchange information with each other. For centuries, people have therefore joined together in guilds, fraternities, associations, etc.
Our modern society is built on countless network structures; we are more connected today than any generation before us. Networks of the 20th and 21st centuries extend across all areas of society and are often not clearly recognizable. The economy is driving this networking even further: globalized flows of goods, international services, working in the cloud, social media. Everything is organized decentrally in networks.

Always a good place to work - for me already since 2008
At ProjectWizards, we work remotely from home. Always have. With the outbreak of the Corona pandemic, the discussion in Germany about working from home became more and more urgent. We can only smile tiredly about this, after all, we have been doing this for years and very successfully.
The advantages outweigh the disadvantages, for example that you only have a few steps to work every day, but you can still see your colleagues directly and contact them in a short time. Thanks to modern work devices and apps, we are all connected and can concentrate wonderfully on our work. We don't know any disturbances caused by the noise of an open-plan office.
We even have a set up virtual coffee kitchen where people can discuss and laugh apart from work. But that's not all. Every now and then, as just happened this week, there is also a nice surprise that is not virtual in nature.
The parcel carrier rings the doorbell and a black package with a Merlin Project sticker is handed over. Inside is a "Corona Care Package" containing everything needed for survival in these days. Two small bottles of Prosecco for the good mood, many small chocolate bars for even more good mood and several FFP2 masks, so that all colleagues come through the pandemic unharmed.
Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this team. Attention like this is what has set us apart for years, a sworn community working on great products and the customers out there appreciate it!
