And after being live...

We roll onto the grid the moment go-live clicks over. The first two weeks of hyper care feel like the opening of a European F1 season—tense, precise, unforgiving.

The lights go out with the first employee login and API call. We watch observability dashboards like telemetry from the pit wall.

Early floor-walks and service desk tickets are our lap times. They reveal grip, drag, and where the process line is off.

Daily stand‑ups are pit stops, fast and disciplined. We triage by user impact, regulatory risk, and dependency chains.

We tune the ‘car’: role mappings, data quality, integrations, and page load. Local realities—GDPR, works councils, languages, and network latency—shape the setup across Europe.

Unexpected defects are yellow flags, not panic. We execute runbooks, hotfix safely, and keep a tested rollback like a safety car plan.

Metrics decide pace: time‑to‑restore, adoption by site, conversion through key steps, and SLA adherence. A visible command centre, clear decision rights, and transparent comms keep trust with leaders and end users.

Then comes the debrief—telemetry replay, root causes, and a focused backlog for the next sprints. We hand over to BAU with training waves, release cadence, and a cross‑border roadmap for the rest of the season.

AI and ethics

Discussing AI's ethical role in our lives, its future impact, and societal changes has become common. One critical issue often overlooked is how AI will influence global power dynamics, with each continent striving to dominate algorithm mastery - USA, China, Russia, India, and Europe. Articles on AI and ethics usually highlight three levels: first, the assertion that AI should benefit the common good, considering job creation and losses. This assumption requires validation. Second, major AI players (Microsoft, OpenAI, Google) promote potential revolutionary benefits, such as universal cancer cures or affordable personal medication, which also need validation. These developments depend on feeding data models and specialized algorithms, but the outcome may be catastrophic. Furthermore, at the third level, AI's military applications are ominous, with details typically undisclosed to the public. Interested readers can explore more in the AI and Ethics Journal published by Spr...

Working during July and August...

Taking advantage of the summer months to make progress with certain clients ( ironically , July and August are often the times when we advance most quickly , while focusing on some challenging or particularly complex deliverables ), I continually find myself surprised by the lack of information and the difficulty in obtaining concrete , established , indisputable data. In other words , there is a need to base decisions on clear and precise data, akin to a scientific approach .     In daily management— beyond just financial aspects—IT departments must rely on clear , precise , and concise reporting to facilitate progress in digital transformation or technical debt management. Modernizing an information system and simplifying an architecture requires reliable reports that detail which version of a specific technical component is being used , what benefits simplification brings to a particular process, and how risks can...
