I was on a conference call recently, discussing an upcoming keynote that I'll deliver to a academic-federal government program meant to accelerate new technologies from basic research into the market.

One participant talked about the role that large corporations could play, and sometimes do play, in commercializing new technologies.

Your innovation strategy should be as unique as your employees. Fundamental to any form of innovation in any company is the voices of employees. Your employees know your company, product, and customer base better than anyone else in the world, but getting them to discuss what they’ve learned can be a challenge. How can companies create a workplace that encourages everyone to speak up?

Flight Crew of the Challenger. On January 28 1986 the NASA Space Shuttle, Challenger, broke apart shortly after take-off from Cape Canaveral. Five NASA astronauts and two civilian scientists were killed. The cause of this devastating accident was eventually traced to the failure of an O-ring seal in the right Solid Rocket Booster. Due to the cold weather, the O-ring didn’t seal tightly enough and it allowed hot gasses to escape and ignite.

Growing consumption does not increase happiness or health! In industrialized countries there is no increase in happiness or health when consumption grows (Fanning et al., 2019). From a sustainability perspective this can be an important finding as global human consumption today is already outstripping what the planet can reproduce. Due to expected world population growth and developing countries becoming more industrialized, global consumption will grow even when there is no growing consumption

Non-profit engagement is about more than volunteering. Non-profits are driven by passion. Just like other organizations, however, they can struggle with innovation and change, especially when all ideas come from the inside. Crowdsourcing can be a powerful tool for helping non-profits generate innovative ideas in the long term. Better Transparency. Non-profit initiatives need to be transparent, and crowdsourcing is, by its very nature, crystal clear.

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.

Focused Momentum

JANUARY 15, 2019

Implementation of a new strategic direction typically starts strong when the energy unleashed from the fun of strategic thinking is fresh. Later, once the transactional aspect of operations takes over everyone’s mindshare, it is harder to keep this energy alive, and thus the momentum on strategic goals can wane. One factor in lagging strategic focus is that leaders slide back to their comfort zone forgetting that they too must evolve.
