Why Digitalization Demands a Transformation of Thinking

Svenja Hofert ()

Chapter 1 in The Agile Mindset, 2022, pp 1-27 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract “Thou shalt leave the thinking to the horses, for they have the bigger heads.” I remember this quote of unknown origin well from my childhood. It’s supposed to express that you just do your chores and don’t question them further. It wasn’t that long ago that this was the attitude of the average worker and even many omit-level managers. Why should I bother if it’s not going to do any good anyway? If our innovative spirit, our mental agility, our creative non-conformity and childlike playfulness are simply punished and certainly not encouraged by educational institutions and the workplace?
