  1. "[Y]our burnout, your lack of influence, your sense that the discipline has lost its way are not evidence of your individual shortcomings but symptoms of a system working exactly as it is designed to work."

    In this poignant essay (linked below), Angelos Arnis describes the state of design in the age of AI. But it didn't start with AI...

    "[T]he institutional arrangements within which design operates are configured to extract design's value while withholding design's autonomy and authority..."

    Folks like Mike Monteiro, Erika Hall, Aral Balkan, and Laura Kalbag opened my eyes to this dynamic around 2014/2015. It started as a call to action for us designers to own the ethics of what we do, challenge expoitative business models, and 'do no harm.'

    But I've long felt that the game is rigged against us on this. Angelos says this:

    "The more I look at the state of tech, the more I recognize a specific structure operating in two distinct ways: the way business absorbs design's attempts at strategic influence, and the way AI tools absorb designers' labor while promising to liberate it."

    Still, some designers manage to ake meaningful change, despite the obstacles:

    "The designer who can navigate an organization that does not grant them autonomy and still produces meaningful work is doing something admirable. But the skill being developed is the skill of operating within someone else's terms."

    I agree. And I realize that it's not easy to resist pressure from your boss, manager, or PM to just design the thing and not ask too many questions. We need to earn a living, right?

    So we get beautifully designed products that effectively encourage behavior change that ultimately exploits the product's users to benefit the company that makes it. We get surveillance capitalism, predatory social media platforms, and tech products that enable fascist governments.

    But I don't blame designers. I don't even blame the decision-makers who got us here. They are, indeed we all are, just humans doing our best. And most of us are too busy, burned out, or stuck in survival mode to feel the proverbial water heating up around us.

    Also, people AI make very seductive promises about AI while convincing us that it's inevitable. Angelos says this:

    "The technology generates a feeling of individual empowerment while producing deeper informal dependence. You feel more capable, yet you are truly more depending than ever."

    So in Angelos' words, "How might we design the structures that would make design's autonomy a material reality rather than a perpetual aspiration?"

    🤷🏼‍♂️ What do you think?

    Thanks for reading, dear one! And thank you Matthijs for sharing this with me!

  10. Why Now Is The Time To Pull Up My ‘Big Boy’ Trousers’ About My Blog

    Have you heard of the saying, ‘Don’t put off today what can be done tomorrow’? I should tell myself that more often because tomorrow becomes tomorrow, and that tomorrow becomes another tomorrow. Before you know it, weeks, months or even years have passed you by, and you still haven’t done what you were putting off until tomorrow.

    Last week, after visiting some blogs, I asked myself, ‘Why haven’t I done what they have done yet?’ And the simple and truthful answer was ‘Because of me.’ But what am I referring to?

    ‘What if?’ moments. Do you ever have them?

    A ‘What if’ moment is those moments in life when you believe something is holding you back from doing something you know needs to be done, but you have doubts about it. The problem is that it isn’t the doubts that are holding you back.

    The ‘What if’ moment I’ve been having has lasted for the best part of two years.

    ‘What if changing the theme of my blog from Classic to Block causes problems?’

    Given that thousands of other bloggers have done it, I know that, while problems may occur, they can be resolved!

    When WordPress introduced the Block Editor, which now seems like many years ago, I disliked it and did everything I could to avoid giving it a chance. I fought myself, declaring I’ll never use it and that I hated the change. And there was my downfall – ‘change.’ I wasn’t willing to accept it.

    Then another blogger said in one of her posts, ‘The Block Editor isn’t hard to use; it’s just different.’ That got me thinking, and it was not long before I realised that the reason I didn’t like the change was that I hadn’t set aside any time to read tutorials and watch them, and to give the Block editor a try.

    It wasn’t long before I was telling myself that trying out the Block Editor was like switching up from black-and-white to colour television.

    Why then has it taken me so long to begin the switch from a Classic to a Block theme? The answer to that question is ‘Me.’ What if something goes wrong? What if I break my blog? What if all my posts disappear? What if my blog disappears without a trace?’ Why if, what if, what if?

    The problem with all those questions is that they are not problems. They are excuses. Excuses to stop myself from making changes. And I have found in life that change opens new doors and brings new opportunities. And that’s what switching to using the Block editor did.

    But why fix what’s not broken?

    I hear people say, ‘Why fix what’s not broken?’ But nobody is fixing anything. All websites have to keep up with technological changes; they would lose many paying customers if they didn’t adapt. It’s paying customers who keep companies alive by buying their products or services, allowing some users to use the site for free.

    Now, replace the question ”Why fix what’s not broken?’ with, ‘Why update what is not broken?’ You now have your answer.

    Not all WordPress users are lucky enough to have had a choice between a Classic and a Block editor. Many have never known anything but the Block Editor, and they all seem to be doing a great job. However, did you know that the Block editor includes a Classic block that allows users to use the Classic editor?

    What’s about to happen on my blog?

    Over the next few weeks, you may notice a few changes with my blog as I switch from a Classic to a Block theme. If you notice anything wrong, please let me know, so I can resolve it. There’s plenty of support available on WordPress when you take the time to find it. Part of the excitement for me is choosing a new theme, but another reason I am making the switch is that I gain access to many more blogging tools and options, many of which help users save time.

    Finally, I’m pleased to say I’ve changed concerns into excitement. I’m no longer allowing change to stop me from moving ahead on my blogging journey. I want my blog to become part of today’s technology, rather than remain stuck in yesterday’s.

    This is my final post using a Classic theme on my blog. Bear with me while I make the changes to a Block theme. Hopefully, it won’t be long before I see you on the other side.

    Where I blog from

  12. Don’t blame your strategy if a transformation fails. Most initiatives don’t fall apart because of a bad plan. They fail because people naturally resist changes to their routines. I’ve watched leaders invest millions in new systems but nothing in the people who need to use them. A memo alone won’t create a new culture. Real change takes place in the difficult middle stage. You need to recognize what people are giving up before they’ll accept something new. If you ignore the mental pushback, your team will just wait for things to return to normal. Good leaders address that resistance instead of pretending it isn’t there.

    🧠 Resistance is a survival mechanism, not a lack of loyalty.
    ⚡ Success depends on how you handle the "neutral zone."
    🎓 Empathy is the only tool that actually reduces friction.
    🔍 Start by listening to the fears of your front line.

  15. "Aus der Verwaltung für die Verwaltung"

    Es ist mir eine Herzensangelegenheit, dazu beizutragen, dass die öffentliche Verwaltung leistungs- und veränderungsfähig bleibt. Es geht um Menschen, auch im Digitalen: daher bilden Kommunikation, Partizipation und Vertrauen die Grundlage für meine Arbeit als Berater in der Digitalen Transformation.

  16. @spfeiffer das ist aus meiner Sicht eine Thematik. So wie @nobsagile es schreibt, man kann es als eine Chance betrachten den Status Quo zu hinterfragen. Alles eine Frage der Perspektive, Prioritäten & Prinzipien. Wenn die Organisation gut durch den Change begleitet wird, führt es am Ende zu einer Win-Win-Situation. Man hat nicht nur die Prozesse verbessert/entstaubt, sondern hat sich aus dem Vendor Lock-In befreit.
