By Matt Troyer, Director of Patent Analytics at Anaqua. With sports fans around the world celebrating one of the greatest comebacks in sporting history after golfer Tiger Woods won the US Masters at Augusta, it is timely that World Intellectual Property Day on 26 April should be celebrating sporting heroes and the role of IP in sports. In golf, like in many sports, the margins between winning and losing can be extremely fine.

There is always a time to reflect. It is when you have those spaces within your daily work you must take a view, a break, consider something that builds your energy up some more, to make it more resilient. Do you stop and reflect, do you “veg” out, do you seek alternative points of stimulus or find something completely different to go and do, read a book, listen to music, take a walk, climb a mountain or simply tune-out.

The word innovate comes from the Latin innovatus , where “in” means “into” and “novatus” is a form of the verb for “making something new.” The word eventually came to refer to bringing new things or changing established practices. Ideas grow stronger through connections with other ideas and idea-makers. Innovation can come from anywhere, anytime, and learning to encourage and manage innovation is a major competitive differentiator.

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.

And that leads to a disconnect between you and your business leader, making you feel you don’t ‘get it’, preventing you from making high impact, leaving you frustrated at times.

It is because when given the chance, groups tend to want to spend our precious strategic thinking time wordsmithing.
