Setbacks are common on projects — but project managers hold four key tools to understand why they happen and how to help their teams move past them. First, understand the neuroscience behind setbacks to encourage people to learn and grow. Second, openly acknowledge that a setback has occurred to prevent backsliding.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping our world. In business, this puts CIOs in one of the most pivotal organizational roles today.

In response, the company proposed implementing a “KPI butterfly” to balance doing well (making money) against doing good (protecting society) as part of its digital transformation process.

Disclaimer: Based on the announcement of the EO , without having seen the full text. While I am heartened to hear that the Executive Order on AI uses the Defense Production Act to compel disclosure of various data from the development of large AI models, these disclosures do not go far enough. The EO seems to be requiring only data on the procedures and results of “Red Teaming” (i.e. adversarial testing to determine a model’s flaws and weak points), and not a wider range of inf

From physical robots to digital chatbots, service bots are revolutionizing the workplace. To understand how consumers perceive firms that employ service bots, researchers conducted six experiments in which customers interacted with either a bot or a human service provider.

Although financial analysts widely acknowledge that innovation is a key driver of business growth and business sustainability, the financial markets do not reward innovation investments, largely because companies do a poor job of making innovation transparent to investors and analysts.

Success and failure – just like hot and cold, light and darkness, love and hate, or good and evil – these represent the ends of a familiar spectrum. Countless philosophical works have pondered these seemingly opposing concepts. My favorite view for all such opposites is that you cannot understand one without the other. They are more complementary than they are contradictory.
