Dan Bricklin was a student on a Harvard MBA course who struggled with all the models and calculations that the case studies required. In 1979 he invented the world’s first spreadsheet, Visicalc, in order to make his life easier. Initially Visicalc was available only on the Apple II computer – whose success is largely attributable to this exclusivity.

Are you in a job that looks, from the outside, as if it is perfectly stable, engaging, good paying, and the kind of position that people in your profession would die to get? Yet you, as the person in the job, feel trapped, under siege, and desperate to do almost anything else, but you can’t leave. What’s up with that? Maybe it’s golden handcuffs, or you’ve been trying to find another job for a long time, but you can’t land anyplace.

In today's industrial landscape, the pursuit of sustainable energy optimization and decarbonization has become paramount. Manufacturing corporations across the U.S. are facing the urgent need to align with decarbonization goals while enhancing efficiency and productivity. Unfortunately, the lack of comprehensive energy data poses a significant challenge for manufacturing managers striving to meet their targets.

In past articles, I have written about how Amazon is a great example of a large Anticipatory Organization. Rather than focusing on agility—reacting faster than competitors—these companies have learned to identify the Hard Trends that will happen and use them, as well as other Anticipatory Skills, to drive exponential innovations at a reduced risk. A recent example is Amazon’s Echo, the first product that put its intelligent digital assistant Alexa similar to Apple’s Siri, Google Now and Microsof

One of the mantras of Lean Startup is to “fail fast” when talking about innovation, but I think it misses the point. Thomas Edison famously said, “I have not failed. I have just found 10,000 ways it won’t work.” The reason to pursue innovation for your business is not about failing, it’s about learning – learning what your customers don’t want alongside what they need , learning about the market for your solution, and learning what your organization is capable of.

Innovation’s a funny thing and to be honest when you get near the internet marketing crowd they’re always going to be looking for an easy way to do whatever it is they do – so it’s no surprise they pinched your content, I’ve had the same problem, maybe worse. Some years agoI wrote an eBook on setting up Google Business pages (way back in the day) and after a few weeks Google’d the title out of curiosity.

Thanks for chiming in. I have Google alerts for the titles of my books. Nearly every day I get an alert that someone is selling my ebook illegally or allowing free downloads. I can’t stop those. Too many. In this case it was someone who is a “thought leader” who was using my content – and the content of others – to further his position in the market.

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.

In 2014 EMC partnered with Capgemini to conduct an industry survey on Big Data. Buried deep within the Big Data Report was the following quote: “Among our respondents, 63% consider that the monetization of data could eventually become as valuable to their organizations as their existing products and services”. In other words, companies that generate revenue from selling products and services strongly believed that this revenue must be augmented with new sources of value coming from data p
