Sport analytics leverage AI and ML to improve the game

CIO

Nearly 10 years ago, Bill James, a pioneer in sports analytics methodology, said if there’s one thing he wished more people understood about sabermetrics, pertaining to baseball, it’s that the data is not the point. The point is to use the data like a razor to cut through false convictions to find the truth. “The reason that understanding is so difficult to build in baseball is because there’s an entire industry of people selling nonsensical ideas about the data all the time,” James said at the

Si può tornare indietro dal cloud? Ecco che cosa ne pensano i CIO italiani

CIO

I manager della tecnologia sono molto realisti nel loro approccio alla “nuvola”, che spesso si declina caso per caso, anziché come una migrazione totale dall’IT ereditato (complessa e costosa).

How to Become a More Empathetic Listener

Harvard Business Review

When the subject of how to be a good listener comes up, psychologists often talk about the value of “perspective-taking” — that is, projecting ourselves into the lives of those we’re listening to. This has been shown to make us grow more generous and less prejudiced toward them, but it’s a flawed way to understand others, because it treats empathy as a solo sport, encouraging listeners simply to try to understand what someone else is going through.
