All good stories need a protagonist and an antagonist, the "good' character and the not so good character to develop tension. Eventually, in any story, the tension is resolved - the protagonist wins (in the happy ending stories) or the antagonist changes sided, or the antagonist wins (unhappy resolution). Every story with any meaning or tension has these two opposing forces.

Values are essential to how an enterprise honors its mission. They represent choices of what an organization will and will not do, what it rewards and what it punishes and how it defines success and failure.

I am going to go out on a limb. Not a big limb, but any time you make a written prediction that people can come back and check, you put yourself at risk. My prediction has to do with innovation. Predicting innovation will seem unusual and risky for many people, because innovation seems so random and difficult to anticipate, like a lightning strike. But if you understand the conditions that make a lightning strike possible, suddenly the strikes don't seem so surprising.

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.
