Standard work is the documented and current best way to do a particular task, procedure or process. Workers develop the standard and follow it until an improvement process results in a new standard. Standard work ensures that results are consistent and forms the foundation upon which improvements are made. Leader standard work applies this same concept to the task of driving Lean thinking and behavior throughout the organization.

Innovation is a concept often tossed around in business strategy as an instrument of change. The era of the “data economy” is well and truly upon us, meaning that companies must be more agile than ever before. Adapting to change requires constant innovation across all industry verticals, and there’s no better Petri dish for innovation than the booming technology sector.

Part 2 of 2: Which comes first: Team alignment or attunement? Ever since the ground-breaking work of Blake and Mouton in the 1970’s, the distinction between “relationship-orientation” and “task-orientation” has proven itself to be universally practical in developing strong work teams that are both aligned and attuned. As we discussed in Part 1 of this blog, while individuals may have particular strengths, from a team perspective it is equally important to emphasize team alignment and attunement

Employees don't contribute ideas when their boss is not interested. There is often a mismatch in goals between givers and recipients of advice. Though we usually have experience both with seeking and giving advice, when we put our advice seeker’s hat on, we seem to forget our perspective when we are giving advice. Advice seekers often view the purpose of the interaction to be more information-focused, while advisors view it as more guidance-focused.

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.

The majority of investments in operational efficiency gains do not hit their targets and less than 20% of the ones that do can demonstrate sustainable benefits. All of the “easy” answers have already been found to improve the core operational processes. What is required is management innovation, a fundamental reconsideration of the underlying logic behind the system or process.

It’s finally here! After years of rumors and speculation, Samsung’s long-awaited foldable phone has officially been announced. And it’ll only set you back about two thousand dollars or twice as much as a regular phone! Will it be worth the exorbitant price tag? Well, that depends on whether you think having a phone with a 4.5 inch screen that turns into a tablet with a 7.3 inch screen is a worthy status symbol.
