But the probably most common and at the same time likely most dangerous reaction remains the "Agile IoT" reaction or as it should better be called "Moving Target" reaction.

From the 4=6 rule to the 1:1 rule to the rule paradox principle, you will find suggestions on how to deal with yourself in your home office. Rules and sticking to them are crucial. But stay flexible and realistic. More than ever, the following applies in the home office: Respect yourself and your needs. And acknowledge your performance without reservation.

The home office is not (yet) as widespread as many people think. In reality, few companies make use of the technical possibilities. Maybe because it is really hard work to organize everything?

Today, one could say the IoT has successfully proliferated and by now it is almost the exception if there is still an industrial company out there that is not concerned about the Internet of Things (IoT). According to a recent Gartner survey, 75% of industrial companies had already invested in IoT projects by the end of 2018. Before 2018, the figure was <25%. However if you ask around among the IoT managers of those companies, each of them has the feeling that they are "behind" and do not believe that they are making progress as fast as they should in order to remain competitive.
