We were driving home from the store this weekend, and saw this huge tree that fell over from its base. It made me think of the phrase “too big to fail.” In this case, this huge tree must have been completely ready for failure , whether that was apparent to anyone or not. A similar phenomenon applies to brand strategy. You may think your brand is strong and ready to withstand anything that might come its way.

I was in Boston and stopped by the Harvard Business Review for their IdeaCast podcast. I shared my current thinking about innovation in companies and government agencies. The interviewer, Curt Nickisch was great and managed to get me to summarize several years of learning in one podcast. He even got me to tell my Steve Jobs interview story. It’s worth a listen.

As we all know, innovations come in all sizes and shapes and types. At the large end of the scale, Boeing or Airbus create a new jetliner, SpaceX creates a new rocket, or Toyota creates a new car, and they all engage in the meticulously detailed design of thousands of new parts, subsystems, and systems, […].

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability.

This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

As I am writing this, I am procrastinating on creating an online course that I have been wanted to create since the start of the year.
