Not to sound dramatic, but the Earth is on fire. NGOs and activists are pushing harder than ever to rescue at least a scrap of untouched forests for the future generations. Governing bodies are scrambling to implement more regulations and laws with an effort to undo decades of environmental damage. On top of that, we are witnessing mental shift in society with more people joining sustainability movements, choosing environmentally friendly products and responsible companies.

Since the pandemic began, many companies had to allow their people to work remotely for the first time. While it was not always a comfortable start with new technology and ways of working [“You are still on mute, Nick…”] , many employees immediately saw the benefits of being able to work from home rather than being forced to commute to the office.

Sooner or later every senior manager has to give bad news to their team. It could be the cancellation of a project, the closure of a plant or a round of redundancies.

Vannevar Bush’s vision during World War II helped the United States become a leader in science and technology. The Cold War helped further that notion that government should invest in science as a public good for private benefit. So, in a sense, maybe it shouldn’t be surprising that when we became a lone superpower, we got thrown off our game. Yet a rising China and, to a certain extent, the role of science in developing vaccines to help end the pandemic, have served as a new organizing principl

In a previous blog post, I wrote about the differences between working "in" the business for strategy and innovation versus working "on" the business for strategy and innovation. This dichotomy is a somewhat classic way of thinking about how people spend their time - either "in" the business doing the day to day work that propels the company forward, or time spent "on" the business, thinking about how the business is positioned, its strategy, how it operates.

Losing health insurance, regardless of when or why, is a negative experience. But right after delivering a baby is an especially stressful time to suddenly lose coverage. The time after giving birth is filled with a variety of emotional and physical needs and changes that often require medical attention. That’s why it’s harrowing that hundreds of thousands of women in the United States lose health coverage after giving birth.

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.
