Hey there, fellow digital warriors! Buckle up because we’re diving into another round of insights to help you conquer your digital challenges, following our previous Matrix Red Pills 💊: ‘AI won’t save you from failing in digital transformations’ and ‘Unlock The Power of Behavior Engineering in Digital Transformation’.

But hold onto your hats, folks, because the updates just keep on coming:

1️⃣ RedHat’s teaming up with McKinsey to supercharge the skills of their already tech-savvy RedHat crew 😱;

2️⃣ Thoughtworks just dropped their TechRadar 2024 report, shining a spotlight on the rising demand for team AI assistants over solo acts 🤯.

The RedHat and McKinsey dream team is like a heavyweight champ stepping into the ring, ready to tackle the urgent need for upskilling and reskilling in the age of AI’s ever-expanding automation. As AI gears up to handle all the boring bits, developers are being called up to the big leagues of software development. Just envision it: a developer’s day transitioning from mundane tasks to diving headfirst into the intricate complexities of brownfield development projects. It’s a rollercoaster 🎢 ride that demands skills, knowledge, and expertise like never before. Strap in, folks! 🙀 And hey, if RedHat’s tapping into McKinsey’s consultancy goldmine, you can bet we’re on the brink of a colossal IT disruption wave. Picture this: Flow models (shows the relationship between task complexity and your perceived skill level), burnout, and underskilled developers being thrown into the deep end of complexity 💣. It’s a recipe for disaster, especially when you consider the alarming rates of burnout and disengagement highlighted in the 2023 reports. Imagine developers trying to swim in the sea of complexity without the necessary skills, like throwing a penguin 🐧 into a hot tub 🔥 and expecting it to swim like a dolphin🐬. It’s a stressful situation 😰 that’s bound to end in chaos if we don’t take action.

But here’s the kicker: Thoughtworks is swooping in with a game-changer in the 2024 Tech Radar. They’re shining a spotlight 🔦 on AI team assistants, flipping the script from boosting individual prowess to empowering entire teams. With standardized prompts and knowledge nuggets on the menu, organizations can turbocharge team dynamics, level up the crew, and get everyone marching in sync for success in the AI era. But here’s the catch: while it’s a tantalizing concept, the most advanced AI tools, like DevinAI, are still primarily geared towards individuals and greenfield projects. So, we might need to hang tight for a few waves of improvements before we see these ideas hit the market. It’s a bit of a bummer, but hey, we’re in the survival AI era now, and it’s all about mastering the art of the fight 🥷🏻.

But hang tight, folks! I’m not about to leave you feeling down in the dumps with all these uncertainties. While the tech wizards are tinkering with AI, trying to figure out how to make it tick for individuals and teams alike, we at BriX Consulting are charging in with our secret weapon: behavior engineering.

And let me tell you, we’ve got over two decades of experience in the field, where I’ve personally witnessed the extreme performance of Ferrari Formula 1 cars—it’s no joke!

Our unique approach, rooted in behavior engineering, doesn’t just upgrade skills—it sparks a cultural revolution that ripples through your entire organization.
