While organizations today generate and capture a vast amount of raw data, they fail to effectively harness the potential business of this data. Extracting insights from raw data and making data-driven decisions has now become pertinent to organizations around the world. In fact, businesses driven by data insights and analytics are effectively growing at an average of more than 30 percent every year , and by 2021, they are expected to take $1.8 trillion worth of business from their less-informed

The up-and-coming field of quantum computing, currently in a prototype phase, will probably be an innovation with exponential and wide-ranging impacts in the power and speed of information technology. There are some interesting parallels between the behavior of quantum computing particles, or qubits, and basic principles of Zen Buddhist philosophy. Like modern physics, this article employs a “space-time” concept of innovation, with implications for the process and intensity of new idea developme

Every industry has its own unique set of corporate monsters. At some point, most company leaders recognize specific consumer demographics, situations, and trends that, while driving profit margins, dilute the organization's internal core values. It's then that rebel brands must make a choice: protect profit margins or protect the integrity of their brand.

Autonomy Increases Employee Loyalty. Most celebrated columnist and cartoonist Frank Tyger says, “Doing what you like is freedom. Liking what you do is happiness.” Autonomy brings both to the workplace. Autonomy at work is about bestowing employees with discretion and independence to schedule their work and to regulate how it is to be done on their own terms.

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.

Let's start with a few assumptions: 1) You are a "change agent," facilitator, or team leader in a forward-thinking organization; 2) Your organization's brainstorm sessions are relatively lame; 3)You (and, maybe, others) would like to upgrade your brainstorm facilitation skills; 4) Your budget is tight; 5) You cringe at the thought of taking 1-3 days off to sit in some kind of training.

Years ago, my friend Mike Watkins, author of the best-selling book The First 90 Days , coined the term "charade of consultation." He used it to describe instances when leaders would hold meetings, ask for input and advice, and yet do not genuinely provide an opportunity for those participants to influence the final decision. He described these situations as a charade because the decisions were pre-ordained, a fait accompli.
