The start of a new year is so motivating. A fresh start, a new leaf – we usually enter a year with a lot of good intentions and plans to make positive changes in our lives. I know it can be tricky to stick to your resolutions, but I like making these promises to myself. This year I decided to integrate mindfulness into my life. The basic concept is simple: pay more attention to the little things in life, focus on what’s important and set aside time to be good to yourself.

The most impressive presentation I reviewed in 2017 was the one from Munich Re, held on 21st November 2017 on their investor day. This, for me, was so well structured and offered such a high level of clarity on the pathway they are pursuing, combining innovation and digital, with the outcomes emerging, of building a new suite of Business Models.

I've been thinking a lot about why innovation fails. Not about why supposedly innovative new products fail, because there are multiple reasons for the failure of a new product. It could be too early or too late in the market window, or it could simply have the wrong pricing or distribution. A new product may lack key features or components, or like some successful products take years to build an audience.

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.

I’m involved with a new outreach effort at church. Our objective is connecting with people that have left the Catholic Church or those that have expressed an interest in joining. Another thing our pastor asked us to implement is going door-to-door throughout the parish boundaries to reach out to everyone in the area. I know I speak for myself and the other committee members: none of us were very excited about engaging in door-to-door ministry.

Scott Simpson Cohen, co-founder of Innovation Leader recently wrote about challenges in scouting for technology and emerging trends , based on his organization’s new research, “ Best Practices: Scouting Trends & Emerging Tech.” One of the issues Cohen cites is “identifying the right areas to scout” and that “what’s holding large corporations back … is that they don’t know where to look – many only hunt near their headquarters, or at their annual trade show.”.

By Carolin Durst, Michael Durst, and Matthias Saffer. Change is the new normal. Evolving markets, new demands, standards, and values, as well as ever shorter product life cycles, require a high level of adaptability on the part of the companies. Companies who can quickly identify changes and even weak signals in their environment and react to them before the competition does will gain a decisive competitive edge (Pillkahn, 2007).

There is a scene from Fiddler on the Roof that has taught me more about life than most holy books I've read. In it, two men are heatedly arguing over the age of a horse. When they see Tevye, the town milkman/sage, walking by, they begin passionately pleading their case. "Tevye!" blurts the first, "I've been cheated! Last month a bought a horse from this sorry excuse for a man.
