Accelerate@HHL 2022: Leaving My Comfort Zone
Those who know me know that I have been doing ProjectWizards for 20 years and Merlin Project for almost 18 years. So everyone can easily imagine that I know a lot of people in the business. No matter if I show up at an Apple event, or a project management event, I already meet the first known people right at the entrance. That's nice, it gives me a good feeling and it's fun. That's how I know that the years of work have paid off and that the network I've built up is working. Because people help each other, they exchange ideas. And even if you don't do business directly with each other, sooner or later it pays off for both of us in some form or another.
But I also have to admit that after 20 years you become more idle. You only choose events where you know that there will be something going on - whatever. And this comfort zone became bigger and bigger for me. Of course, no trips took place during Covid-19, and the urge to attend online community meetings became more and more suppressed. I noticed myself getting more and more cushy. And then the opportunity came: Accelerate@HHL 2022!
En savoir plus...Avec Merlin Project à la Deutsche Bahn
Pendant de nombreuses années, j'ai répondu "Je ne suis pas compatible avec les chemins de fer allemands" lorsqu'on m'interrogeait sur mon choix de mode de transport. Je ne pouvais même pas dire exactement à quand remontait mon dernier voyage en train, mais cela devait faire entre 10 et 15 ans.
Mais récemment, il s'est avéré que seul le train pouvait me permettre d'effectuer un voyage d'affaires. Et j'entends par là une combinaison de temps et d'argent. J'ai donc courageusement choisi cette option et je me suis lancé dans l'aventure.
Sur une période de 3 jours, j'ai voyagé d'Osnabrück à Stuttgart, puis à Munich et de là à Osnabrück. J'ai beaucoup appris au cours de ce voyage. Certains vieux préjugés ont été confirmés, mais beaucoup ont été révisés. Voici quelques-unes de mes découvertes :

No Support for Putin's War
ProjectWizards is against war. We strongly condemn Putin's invasion of Ukraine and sympathize with the Ukrainian people.
Our business is project management software. Unfortunately, it may not only be used for good, but also for bad things, such as a war of aggression.
We cannot reconcile it with our conscience to be involved in it. Neither directly, nor indirectly, such as through war-financing banks. We are therefore stopping all business with Russia.
We also believe that the sanctions imposed by the German government and the European Union are still not enough. Therefore, we call on our friends in software development to join us.
