Who Moved My Cheese?



It is a well-known fact that any technology can fade in no time due to new and rapid advancements rolling out every now or then. Hence, you have to be aware of the advancements in the technology industry and trends that can benefit your business in the future.

Anticipate Change

Even if we are doing well, we should always have a Plan B. Better be prepared than regret later.

Monitor Change: 

Smell the Cheese Often So You Know When It Is Getting Old
You should be receptive to your environment in order to observe the changes around you. 
Managed database services moved Cheese from Database developers but they can always look for role in Big Data for another and better career.

Adaption:

The Quicker You Let Go Of Old Cheese, the Sooner You Can Enjoy New CheeseAs soon as we notice that there is no cheese left we should not waste any time, and left in search of a new cheese.So what do you do when change happens? Just go with it. Nothing good will happen if you deny it or just complain about it. It is safer to search in the maze than to remain in a cheese-less situation.

e.g Cloud technology moved Cheese from System Administrator, Network Administrators but they can always look for DevOps, Cloud architect roles

Move with the Cheese

Hem was hesitant to leave Cheese Station C because that was his comfort zone. What is holding Hem back? Fear. He was frightened of the unknown that’s why he refused to move on. On the other hand, Haw realises that he has to overcome this fear in order to find a new cheese.

Enjoy Change! : 

Savour the Adventure and Enjoy the Taste Of New Cheese!
Project Leader/Project Manager having 15+ years of experience are in comfort zone and and given up  Hands-on and now suddenly with project management tools, there would be not main role of these project managers. Now that you accepted change, enjoy the new cheese! You need to  appreciated the change of pace and the thrill of the hunt. Now, you should  ready to embark on a new journey in your  life as a Scrum master in Agile Development.

Be Ready To Change Quickly and Enjoy It Again: They Keep Moving the Cheese

Again, as you enjoy the new cheese, be wary of your surroundings because another one will come soon. An AI bot creates log-in tests and then goes throughout the SDLC. Today CI/CD and streamlining long-term, this will be very commonplace. Testing will be as natural as writing code which will be done by machines and Automation testing role soon outdated. You’ll experience success with new role by steering continuous delivery teams towards quality instead of being a quality gatekeeper, monitoring impact of code changes in production, eliminating testing bottlenecks, improve slow feedback loops in continuous delivery pipelines

Like the characters in the "Who Moved My Cheese?” story, we will learn that these lessons are applicable to the circumstances we encounter in our career. It will change your thinking and attitude towards change. It’s ideal to be like Sniff and Scurry who are always ready and adaptive, but it’s not too late to be like Hem who learned embraced change.
