Business Book of the Year 2025

Den 10te September goufen zu London d'Gewënner vun de Business Book Awards bekannt ginn. Honnerte vu Bicher aus der ganzer Welt waren an der Competitioun fir d'Präisser déi an net manner wéi 14 verschiddene Kategorien verdeelt goufen, dorënner Sales & Marketing, People Culture & Management, Change & Sustainability oder och nach Wellness & Wellbeing. An dëser leschter Kategorie goung de Präis un eng Lëtzebuergerin, d'Mithu Storoni. Si ass deen Owend awer net mat engem, mä direkt mat zwee Präisser heemgaangen: nieft de Gewënner an de verschiddene Kategorien gouf nämlech och nach ee Gewënnerbuch kategorieiwwergräifend ausgezeechent. An och dëse Präis goung un der Mithu Storoni hiert Wierk "Hyperefficient - Optimize your Brain to Transform the Way you Work"!

Eng glécklech Gewënnerin déi an hirer Dankesried dëst gesot huet: 
"Dëst ass d'Zäitalter vum Gehier, wou d'Qualitéit vun de Gedanken méi wichteg fir de Succès ass wéi d'Quantitéit vun den Efforten déi ee mécht. Hypereffizient ze sinn, bedeit der Qualitéit d'Prioritéit iwwer d'Quantitéit ze ginn. Ech sinn de Business Book Awards immens dankbar an ech si ganz houfreg a geéiert dass "Hyperefficient" zum  Business Book of the Year gewielt gouf"

Mir konnten d'Mithu Storoni erreechen an hir e puer Froe stellen:
Wat fir eng Bedeitung huet de Business Book of the Year Award fir Iech?
Mithu Storoni:"Ech fille mech wierklech geéiert! An eiser Zäit sinn et dacks Geschäftsleit déi de Motor vum Fortschrëtt undreiwen. Et huet mech ëmmer faszinéiert wéi si an engem onsécheren Environnement kreativ schaffen a Problemer léisen. Dat war d'Inspiratioun fir mäi Buch "Hyperefficient" An dowéinst ass dëse Präis eng grouss Éier fir mech."

Wourëms geet et an dësem Buch an u wien riicht et sech?
Mithu Storoni: "Haaptthema vum Buch ass, dass mir alleguer eis Manéier ze schaffen ännere mussen an dëser neier Welt vun der kënschtlecher Intelligenz an der Spëtzentechnologie. Bis elo ass et dacks net drëm gaangen fir Qualitéit ze produzéieren, et ass éischter ëm Quantitéit gaangen, egal a wéi engem Aarbechtsberäich. Mä den Aspekt "Quantitéit" kann a ville Beräicher elo vun der KI iwwerholl ginn. Zum Beispill kann eng KI Aekrankheeten, déi duerch Diabetes verursaacht ginn, méi séier erkennen wéi en Aendokter. KI ass méi séier doran fir einfach juristesch Rotschléi ze ginn, wéi dat jonk Juriste kënnen an eng KI ka souguer Artikelen, Mailen a Bicher méi séier schreiwe wéi e Mënsch. D'Resultat dat KI ubidde kann, ass awer am beschte Fall mëttelméisseg. Fir echt Kreativitéit brauch een e mënschlecht Gehier. Nëmmen e Mënsch kann Intuitioun an innovatiivt Denken uwennen fir wierklech komplex Problemer ze léisen. Awer d'Mënsche kënnen dësen héije Qualitéits-Standard net erreechen wa mir esou weider schaffen wéi bis elo. Eis Aarbechtsweis huet hir Wuerzelen an der Fliessband-Aarbecht vum fréien Industriezäitalter, deemools war Quantitéit méi wichteg wéi Qualitéit. Fir eng besser Qualitéit brauch dat mënschlecht Gehier awer e ganz aneren Ekosystem. D'Gehier huet seng eegen intern Rhythmen déi seng Aarbecht beaflossen. Doduerch kann een tatsächlech d'Qualitéit vu senger Aarbecht verbesseren andeems ee sech mat dëse Rhythme synchroniséiert aplaz dem Gehier eng Standard-Aarbechtsweis opzezwëngen." 
 
Wat ass Äere professionellen Hannergrond, firwat hutt Dir decidéiert Bicher ze schreiwen a wat huet Iech op Lëtzebuerg bruecht?
Mithu Storoni: "Ech hunn en Hannergrond an der Medezin, Ae-Chirurgie, Neuro-Ophtalmologie a Recherche an den Neuro-Wëssenschaften. Mam Schreiwen hunn ech ugefaangen wéi ech zu Hongkong gelieft hunn. Deemools hunn ech eng Faszinatioun fir déi neurowëssenschaftlech Basis vun intellektueller Aarbecht a Produktivitéit entwéckelt. Meng Verbindung zu Lëtzebuerg kënnt dohier, dass ech zënter méi wéi 20 Joer mat engem Lëtzebuerger bestuet sinn!"
