Why nostalgics never win - New Work vs Old Fashion

All of us are nostalgic sometimes. And many of us, when we think about events from the past also tend to see these moments through 'rose-tinted glasses'. And there's nothing wrong with that, of course.

What causes problems, is when we stand against change, simply because it's different from what we know and what we feel comfortable with.
We hear it again and again in the media that smartphones and technology are changing the way we communicate - distracting us, separating us from reality and causing actual stress due to the nature of the communication channels we use - usually a multitude of channels. A so-called 'information overload.'

But why do we always seem to hear this from such a negative perspective? Why are we complaining that communication has become too fast or too frequent, when exactly that has been the goal for so long? We also forget, in this negative haze, that no-one is forcing us to use a particular communication channel. We don't HAVE to communicate faster, and in some instances it is important to take your time and communicate in a relaxed manner with someone.

My only point is that all these new means of communication offer us so much more freedom than ever before. We make the mistake of viewing these opportunities as burdens because it unsettles us to change. But change can be a very positive thing, if we only choose to embrace it. And that's why I say that the nostalgics have never and will never win...

Christoph Magnussen is an entrepreneur since high school. After graduating from University of St. Gallen (HSG), he co-founded a mobile phone reCommerce company which grew from 1M to 31M in revenue in less than 5 years. To scale the business, he wouldn’t just add manpower. Instead, he was obsessed with increasing individual productivity through latest online collaboration tools and new work methods.
This new digital setup triggered many requests from fellow entrepreneurs to support them in building the same environment in their companies. This is how the idea for his company Blackboat was born. A tech-focused company designed to help leaders increase team efficiency by leveraging cloud tools and fast communication. Blackboat helps you identify your requirements and choose the cloud solution that suits your needs. Additionally, we will support you in implementing these solutions such as G Suite, Office 365, Bettercloud, FireEye, Slack etc. and build a scalable setup that goes beyond the standard off-the-shelf product from these providers.
Christoph is also a keynote speaker, and he shares his experiences, thoughts, and ideas about Digital Transformation (Digitalisierung, New Work), Team Collaboration, Leading Virtual Teams, #EndOf90iesIT and #futureofwork.
