Idea to Value

MARCH 21, 2017

Denial of a human-centric world and its impact on the planet since the industrial revolution is no longer an acceptable worldview. In March, we reached the point of no return, the point where most credible international scientists agree that damage will be unprecedented and relentless. As we have surpassed global CO2 concentrations at 400 Parts Per Million (PPM), let’s make this alarm a time for changing the purpose of business.

Wonderful article, Steve! “Objectively, you’d think that winning 25 cents would have the same magnitude of effect as losing 25 cents, but that’s not what we find.” Kahneman writes beautifully about this in his book Thinking, Fast and Slow: In behavioral economics losses loom larger than gains, sometimes to the point of very irrational behavior.

Peter Drucker wrote Innovation and Entrepreneurship in the 1980s as a book that for the first time put innovation as a regular management tool, side-by-side with strategy and operations in a managed business. It offers little mystification of the term "innovation" and there is much of a practical approach to where innovation is made or might be made.

What do you get when you give a design tool a digital nervous system? Computers that improve our ability to think and imagine, and robotic systems that come up with (and build) radical new designs for bridges, cars, drones and much more -- all by themselves. Take a tour of the Augmented Age with futurist Maurice Conti and preview a time when robots and humans will work side-by-side to accomplish things neither could do alone.

So my further part of how we need to set about and differentiate ourselves. How do we show the real difference that innovation can provide? I believe we have eight needs to achieve. Each of us will arrive at our own personal understanding of what this “all means” Innovation is about achieving difference so if we all arrived at the same point of understanding then we actually are defeating ourselves from the very beginning.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

“ The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science.” ― Albert Einstein. Ahh innovation. Such a fun topic to write about, to discuss, to throw around with abandon. After all, look at all the innovation we’ve seen in the last decade. Why there’s Tesla reinventing the automobile, Uber remaking transportation, AirBNB recreating hospitality.

Maria Konnikova wrote a terrific article for The New Yorker last year , focusing on the research on resilience over the past few decades. Konnikova describes the research conducted by developmental psychologist Emmy Werner. Konnikova summarizes a key finding: Perhaps most importantly, the resilient children had what psychologists call an “internal locus of control”: they believed that they, and not their circumstances, affected their achievements.
