The construction industry in many countries around the world is facing a labor shortage crisis. The workforce is aging, fewer young people are entering the field, and those who are working have to take on longer hours to meet the demand. The issue particularly acute in Japan, where strict overtime regulations started in 2024. For construction to continue at the pace needed, something has to change.

One big challenge that leaders have when figuring out how or where their companies can grow is that a dearth of data about future problems and opportunities. In these situations, there are three techniques that leaders can employ to develop insights: look at customers and startups for signs of change, experience new technologies rather than just read about them, and practice “associative thinking,” which means connect two seemingly disparate concepts to develop a novel idea.

Digital tools powered by relevant data can help to generate customer insights, better allocate sales resources, facilitate channel interactions, and improve brand value. But, like any tool, digital systems are only as good as their users. It’s not just data, but information relevant to sales and channel partners; and it’s not just information, but management and process initiatives that translate that information into marketplace results.

When testing machine learning systems, we must apply existing test processes and methods differently. Machine Learning applications consist of a few lines of code, with complex networks of weighted data points that form the implementation. The data used in training is where the functionality is ultimately defined, and that is where you will find your issues and bugs.

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.

Passwords are a problem. While they remain the main way we secure applications, services, and systems, they’re increasingly vulnerable. Cloud compute makes it economical to brute-force valuable passwords, while poorly-thought-out password policies drive users to inherently risky behaviors. And while password managers make it easier to have separate complex passwords for everywhere we need them, other “security” policies block us from using those passwords.

Multi-tenant architecture allows software vendors to realize tremendous efficiencies by maintaining a single application stack instead of separate database instances while meeting data privacy needs. When you use a data warehouse to power your multi-tenant analytics, the proper approach is vital. Multi-tenant analytics is NOT the primary use case with traditional data warehouses, causing data security challenges.

DevOps is not new. Ideas to combine deployment and operations began to appear in the late 80s. It took us nearly 20 years to finally formulate the state of DevOps and begin the move towards DevOps engineers. However, we can’t stop here. While it may sound surprising, there is much more to be done than what we already did. Bringing deployments and operations together is just the first step, and we need to bring other areas together even more.
