Keep It Simple

Simplicity is key to success, a principle that applies across all aspects of life, including IT and digital endeavors.

In the fast-paced world of IT, constant innovation disrupts established practices. Striving for perfection in such a dynamic environment can be counterproductive.

Choices abound in IT, making navigation through alternatives challenging. It requires both broad and deep knowledge, as well as a steady approach, to find pragmatic solutions that suit current and future needs.

Every solution has its benefits and risks. Balancing engineering efforts to meet requirements without over or under-engineering is crucial.

In essence, simplicity, adaptability, and balance are fundamental to achieving success in the ever-evolving landscape of IT.

While there has been notable progress in Human Resource Management (HRM) over recent decades, there remains a pervasive sense of unmet potential. HRM has often been entangled in public relations and marketing endeavors rather than earnestly considering how to strike a harmonious balance between the needs of employees and employers. The Dilemma: Employers prioritize extracting maximum output at minimal cost. Employees seek maximum rewards with minimal exertion.
