It was a seemingly unstoppable merger. Two of American’s most trusted, most well-known, and most well-liked brands were merging together – Kraft and Heinz. Add to that the fact that Warren Buffett’s company, Berkshire Hathaway, was the one brokering the deal, and it seemed to be a match made in heaven. Like all of Berkshire Hathaway’s companies, the goal for Kraft Heinz was not to disrupt the market or to be big and bold; the goal was simply “don’t lose the investors money.”.

However, there are ways to cultivate innovation success, and creating an innovation department is one of them.

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.

Playing as often as possible, reading how to books, and taking as many clients on the course as possible. The best game I ever played was at River Run in Maryland. I finished seven over par, I was 25. At 26 my company at the time, MCI Telecommunications, had a golf outing with our global accounts on Long Island New York, and my foursome won 1st place.
