One of the biggest advantages of building a corporate startup is having access to the abundance of resources and technical know-how that a typical startup would not have access to. Yet, we often see companies do not have a clear policy for how innovation teams can leverage key assets within the core business.

Mentoring is certainly not a new concept. In fact, the name comes from a character named “Mentor” in Homer's Odyssey. He was a trusted advisor to Odysseus' son. Even though its roots run back thousands of years, however, the recent growth of social learning has given rise to a boom in mentoring and coaching programs. […].

I'm sure you've all played the game 20 questions. The goal of the traditional parlor game is to uncover an object chosen by one player by asking questions that eliminate other possibilities until deductive reasoning reveals the answer. Careful selection of questions can significantly improve the odds of the questioner winning the game.

Originally published in MediaPost. When marketers talk about artificial intelligence (AI), they’re talking about art — the art of crafting insight-driven content. That’s what AI is, right? A perfect algorithm that builds meaningful connections with audiences, improves brand equity, and curates a wealth of potential leads. But to truly take advantage of AI, we must admit this marketing truth: AI sounds scary because it’s flawed.

Getting to the top of business is a massive challenge. There’s a lot of competition and relatively few people with the requisite skills to make it work. . The people who do eventually get there rarely plot a straight line to the top. Often there’s an element of luck that works in their favor. They have a chance connection or meeting with somebody, and suddenly doors open for them. .

If you are a member of a team, there will be times when trust flies out the window. Your willingness to confidently rely on (and predict) that others will do the right thing in times of risk and uncertainty will shrivel. So be it. Such is life. But just because trust shrivels, doesn't mean it's gone. Smaller? Yes. Gone? Not necessarily. It can be restored.

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.

Over the last few days support for the George Floyd protests has been spreading around the globe with everyone from Amsterdam to New Zealand getting in on the action with marches, demonstrations, and protests of their own. But the biggest support group of all can be found in South Korea within the ranks of K-Pop fandom with stans (celebrity fans) participating in cyber warfare of sorts to help the cause.
