contributed post –. From consulting to construction at some point in your career, you are going to be asked if you can do a rush job. That is whether you squeeze a project for a customer into a, particularly short deadline. Of course, it really pays to know whether it’s smart to take on such a job, or whether it’s better to turn it down flat before you even get asked.

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.

VUCA is the new black. Suddenly everyone has realized that sometimes the economy or markets are volatile or uncertain. If I were older and cranky I'd blame this on the millennials, not because they are millennials but because they've never lived with a stock market that goes down. Volatility seems like something we've only just discovered. Not too many people seem to remember the stock market crash of 2008, but of course that was a decade ago.

Moving Forward Powerfully In-Spite of Limitations. Ever worked with someone who doesn’t remember to follow through on things? The person who makes it a habit to procrastinate and is often not organized. The one who waits for the last minute to work on that very important project? Ever wondered what causes a person to be this way? It’s easy to judge someone as lazy, and to even lose trust in a colleague who is unreliable or doesn’t show up fully.

“Dave—it’s been an honor and a privilege working with you these past 12 years, but my family and I will be moving to Florida in the spring so I must regretfully tender my resignation.”. In the business world, when a hardworking, well-respected employee says, “I’m moving,” it can often be viewed as a critical blow. It means involuntarily losing an invaluable and trusted colleague and requires HR to initiate the arduous task of finding a qualified and competent replacement.

Scaling transformational innovations in large companies is challenging due to ‘Company Fit’ issues, which arise when the resources, processes, and priorities (RPPs) of the core business are not aligned with the needs of the new business. Many companies have learned how ambidexterity—the ability to both ‘exploit the present and explore the future,’ can help them address these issues for ideation and incubation of new innovations, but scaling transformative business innovations remains a challenge

Most of us have gotten so used to clicking the little blue “thumbs-up” in Facebook or the little heart in Twitter that we don’t give it a second thought. It’s only when we start seeing repeated ads for oat milk or cricket bats that we realize something else is going on behind the scenes. Social media platforms have found a way to match the things we “like” with the things that advertisers are selling - even when the relationship isn’t completely obvious.
