Often you hear the request made of “can you give us a best practice snapshot; we would like to get a sense of where we are”. Firstly please forget best practice, this is a mistake for you in a rapidly changing world. The trouble with best practice is you are looking at someone else’s practices and these are highly individual, made up of different groups of methodologies, processes, rules, theories, values and concepts.

We tend to be very short sighted, we corporate executives. Our lifespans are relatively brief, all things considered. There are over 240 years since the founding of the United States, and using a 20 year cycle for generations that suggests approximately 12 generations of people during that brief window. Most of us work for approximately 40 years, but we rarely consider the events or recent history before we started working.

Many perspectives make for smarter medicine. In 2013, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation took a step that many found surprising: creating a prize and asking the world to reengineer the condom. It was fodder for late-night shows, people made jokes about Bill Gates endorsing major condom brands, and then the world moved on.

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.

Whether it’s called creativity, innovation, discontinuous improvement or disruption there’s no prediction. The trick in the domain complexity is to make progress without prediction. The first step is to try to define the learning objective.
