Exercises in Innovation #4: Fully test prototypes pre-launch. In this thought experiment, try to imagine every way that customers could use your product in the wrong way. Really let your imagination go, and it still may not be enough. Sometimes customers don’t know the truth, but other times they aren’t able to answer truthfully. The perfect example involves a company I met with that built an ingenious way to recycle water from hot showers in the home.

Methodologies may vary, but one of the things almost all of them have in common is that they base their strategies by building different future scenarios, with different uncertainties and variables.

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 number of people who work from home has been growing at a steady pace for years.
