What are you hoping to achieve next year? No, I am not talking about what you and your company’s high level goals are: … Increase market share … … Improve profit margins … … Be innovative … I am asking what specific ambitions you and your company have for next year. Especially when it comes to what you want the creativity of your people to achieve.

Overview: New agricultural, processing, and manufacturing technologies are changing what we eat, how long it keeps, and how we store it. What each of these innovations has in common is a thoughtful and different approach to common questions. The Challenge. While there remains some dispute about how many people the planet will need to support by the end of the 21st century, there’s no argument that there will be challenges.

School districts can take responsibility for the health of the planet through sustainable student transportation initiatives. Did you know that transportation accounts for the largest share of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States? What may surprise you even more is that the student transportation industry is a particularly egregious offender, with over 90 percent of the nation’s 500,000 school buses running on diesel and emitting 8.4 million metric tons of greenhouse gas annually — equi

In the fourth conversation between Jeffrey Phillips and myself around parts of the Executive Innovation Work Mat, we took on several different issues around the design, function, structure and process needs for innovation. The conversation lasted nineteen minutes, and for some reason, I lost sound briefly at my end a few times, which was a pity. So I hope I can help fill those gaps and explore the what, why and how of having a dynamic functioning design and structured process to meet today’

Electric vehicle expert and green living activist Seth Leitman sees environmental and financial benefits to EVs. Electric vehicles (EVs) aren’t the future — they’re already here. Six major carmakers — BYD, Ford, General Motors, Jaguar Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, and Volvo — have pledged to phase out gas- and diesel-powered vehicles by 2035, and several states have passed laws banning the sale of internal combustion engine vehicles by 2030.

While going through some scientific literature, I recently made a startling discovery. One which I have not seen anywhere in other summaries of how creativity works or how it can be improved. It is about what happens in your brain when you are sleeping. There are several stages which your brain goes through when you are asleep, but one of the most important is called the Rapid Eye Movement (REM) phase.

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.

Is it possible to exhaust yourself by making decisions? According to research, yes it is.

This was in order to study a concept called ego depletion , which suggests that our willpower and ability to focus on difficult challenges is not infinite, and therefore gets used up througho

Thinking about purchasing or leasing an electric car? The only way to get the real story is to speak directly to an electric vehicle (EV) driver. EV owners are the most knowledgeable resources when it comes to questions like how much it costs to charge, what the maintenance costs are, and whether to go all-electric or plug-in hybrid. They love to share their real-world driving experiences, and there are many places to find these willing information sources — even if you don’t know one personally

As entrepreneurs and business leaders, we get set in our ways. This is often a natural reflex; our products are fulfilling needs, our processes are working, our services are satisfying, and we are making money. Finding success in what works is not a bad thing whatsoever; you need to make money, after all! However, how this behavior becomes detrimental is when said business or organization protects and defends this status quo of what is “working,” even when profits stagnate, customers wane, and,
