GUEST POST from Greg Satell A leader’s primary responsibility is to make tough decisions. If the issues are unimportant and the choices are clear, someone lower down in the organization usually deals with it.

Organisational leaders are in an increasingly untenable position as net zero targets loom closer, and legislation tightens the net. For example, in the UK, more than 100 local authorities have pledged to run on 100% clean energy by 2050. Of these, 58 have committed explicitly to neutralising council emissions by 2030 as well as those of their residents and businesses by 2045 – five years ahead of the government’s 2050 target.

A popular term today, electrification is the process of powering homes and businesses with electricity rather than fossil fuels. Energy resilience, or the ability to provide reliable energy and ensure recovery from disruptions, is essential to the safe adoption of ever-changing technological needs and electrification. Emerging technologies — including energy storage systems, electric vehicles, and solar panels — can assist with these needs.

Innovation requires a more dynamic, systematic approach. All companies talk about innovation and its growing importance, but why is it that still so few succeed in actually doing it on a repeatable scale? What inhibits innovation? What would drive innovation success? What aspects of innovation are critical to achieving such innovative growth? Where should a company place its emphasis to gain both an improving impact on its performance and strengthen its innovation capabilities?

In today's industrial landscape, the pursuit of sustainable energy optimization and decarbonization has become paramount. Manufacturing corporations across the U.S. are facing the urgent need to align with decarbonization goals while enhancing efficiency and productivity. Unfortunately, the lack of comprehensive energy data poses a significant challenge for manufacturing managers striving to meet their targets.

In entrepreneurial circles, there's a lot of talk about the concepts of working "in" your business versus working "on" your business. The distinction is that working in the business defines the work that drives the business day to day - going to meetings, answering email, providing products and services for customers. Working on the business is the time you spend thinking about why the business exists, how it should operate and what it should become.

Health care executives know that how they get paid is evolving. And as part of the pressure to move towards value, they are seeking to address drivers of health (DOH) – also known as social determinants of health – as part of their care models. But what leaders may not know is that trying to address DOH from within their existing business models will be a harsh lesson in failure.

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.

We thought we knew about uncertainty. Market disruptions by startups; sure. Shifting consumer behaviors? Part of the job. But then the pandemic happened, creating a domino effect of disruptions that we are learning to accept as part of daily life.

The ever-changing dynamic of customer relationships with brands has transformed the way organizations plan their growth. With the rise of numerous communication platforms and social media channels it seems easy to get feedback and understand customers’ needs and pain points.

Successful software implementation requires more than buying new software and training people how to use it. Yet, all too often, organizations focus so much on standing up the solution that they lose sight of all the elements needed for success. As a result, many fail to maximize the return on their investment in the software. More importantly, they fail to achieve the business outcomes they hoped to achieve with their implementation journey.
