Research has established that burnout is primarily the result of psychologically hazardous factors that occur at your workplace. Not being given the resources or time you need to manage your workload, for example, or working in an environment where you have insufficient control and autonomy, are known burnout triggers. No two experiences of burnout are exactly alike, and recovery requires that you pinpoint the unique workplace conditions that are contributing to your stress.

When you decide to change careers, the important people in your life have a stake in what you do, so it’s important to factor them in to your decision process. The challenge is to figure out how to honor your responsibilities to them without allowing yourself to be defined exclusively by what they feel you ought to be. To do this most effectively, Herminia Ibarra, an expert on career transitions, recommends a two-pronged approach that involves working closely with the primary “stakeholder” in yo

The term "Gemba" comes from Japanese and is widely used in various industries, particularly in lean manufacturing practices (or lean in other settings). "Gemba" (現場)—sometimes spelled "Genba"—translates to "the real place" or "the actual place" in English. In the manufacturing context, it refers to the place where value is created, where the actual work happens, such as the shop floor or production line.

Once upon a time, in the vast realm of online commerce, there lived a humble checkout button overlooked by many. Yet, within its humble click lay the power to transform a mere visitor into a loyal customer. 🧐 💡 Getting checkout right can mark the difference between a successful sale and an abandoned cart, yet many businesses fail to make payments a part of their commerce strategy even when it has a direct impact on revenue.

A model that has been applied at universities such as Arizona State, the University of California San Diego, and Oregon State, and Purdue can help address this need. It is based on five principles.

Innovation strategist and architect Carla Johnson did just that on a recent episode of the Innovation Talks podcast. During that conversation, we talked extensively about the power of innovative thinking and its impact on ideas. Her book , “RE:Think Innovation,” expands on our discussion in great detail.

The data is clear: students want networks. When asked what skill they most regret not cultivating in college, nearly half of recent graduates cited networking, according to a 2020 Strada-Gallup College Alumni poll. The data is also clear that access to networks is not equally distributed: first-generation students and students of colour are much less likely than their peers to participate in networking with alumni or to talk to faculty about their career interests.

Manufacturing corporations across the U.S. are facing the urgent need to align with decarbonization goals while enhancing efficiency and productivity.

Premise: I stumbled on to The Abilene Paradox earlier today. You can watch a movie where the creator of the paradox – Jerry B Harvey, tells the story of how he realised the presence of this paradox and how prevalent it is in all walks of our lives. I knew that people do go along to get along and sometimes that leads to groupthink, which is not good for any business.

Here’s an admission: spending my corporate career at one company in the business-to-business world, we had to fight for focused time to innovate. This was especially true in the early years. It improved later when we had an Idea Magnet as our CMO. Even then, though, our broader organization was skeptical about anything that resembled unfettered ideation and exploring future possibilities seemingly disconnected from today’s operational pressures.

I also read an article on HBR about how good leaders will be hard to replace with AI. There have been discussions around the ethics and intellectual property rights of how these new age algorithms have been trained and the biases inherent in them.

Source: [link] Alicea Lieberman, On Amir and Ziv Carmon have published an interesting new paper titled, "The entrenchment effect: Why people persist with less-preferred behaviors." The scholars conducted a series of experiments to examine why people become stuck in "behavioral ruts." We can all relate, of course. At times, we find ourselves continuing to engage in undesirable activities even though we could rather easily switch to a more enjoyable or beneficial course of action.

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.

January 16, 2024 The right innovation strategy can be the difference between leading the pack or playing catch-up. But innovation isn’t just about brainstorming sessions or adopting the latest technologies. It starts with laying a solid foundation, setting clear goals, and nurturing a culture that values fresh thinking.
