How hard can it be to compute conversion rate? Take the total number of users that converted and divide them with the total number of users. Done. Except… it’s a lot more complicated when you have any sort of significant time lag. Prelude – a story. Fresh out of school I joined Spotify as the first data analyst. One of my first projects was to understand conversion rates.

Winning Well Connection. We first met Jonathan when he was introduced as the President of the Global Speaker’s Federation. He struck us then as a statesman and diplomat. A few months later, I (David) enjoyed a wonderful dinner with Jonathan as he traveled through Denver, Colorado. After trusting me to order for the table, our conversation ranged from our professions to our favorite foods, to how we can help those in need.

One of them is “Establish A Mantra Of Key Values” A few words or a short list of bullet points can’t tell you how important that was for me in becoming a successful leader, so I wanted to share with you my personal story of how I discovered, and then fully absorbed, the values that guided me towards the right path.

Bob Gourley. One of the enjoyable things about estimating the future is there is always a new consideration. It is a dynamic task that is never done. This is especially true in analyzing the future of enterprise technology, where things are always moving fast. We try to find balance in tracking the future of technology by focusing on the metatrends, those very powerful forces that sweep over us all (whether we want them to or not).

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.

Bob Gourley. The dynamic nature of today’s IT Operations has eroded the network perimeter in ways we have all been watching and even cheering on! This is a new world of mobility, cloud computing and rapid partnering for success. But the erosion of the network perimeter is making traditional security a roadblock to efficiency. No one wants to allow holes to be poked in the security system but no one wants to shut down connectivity to partners either.

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.

Many so-called thought leaders spew a jargon-laced mish-mash of business nonsense that goes something like this: If your core competencies and best practices aren’t producing buy-in and you feel the need to empower more synergies so you can move the needle to avoid a burning platform in your ecosystem, then you need to leverage your outside-the-box thinking and make hay with a robust, scalable solution.

Crystal Lister. Organizations today are increasingly adopting Internet of Things (IoT) devices lacking sufficient security protocols which creates unique insider risks that IT teams must address. These organizations were already facing enduring risks from malicious and non-malicious insiders and the intersection with IoT devices further complicates the attack surface that IT teams must defend.

Mentoring is one of my favorite activities. No reasonably complex system can be built by a single developer. It takes a team. Helping other members of the team reduces my own workload in the long run, even if it increases it in the short term. Eventually, I found myself enjoying the activity for the sake of it and not just to reduce my own workload.

Carol M. Evenson. With the number of cyber crimes climbing every day, and the costs of each cyberattack higher than the last, the word “hacker” has come to carry a very negative connotation. Business owners who are afraid of litigation cringe when they hear the word. Private individuals who are worried their identities will be stolen—or who have already had their identities stolen before—get sick to their stomach at the thought.
