'Two weeks ago I wrote about how leaders needed to be more human to achieve the “ success trifecta ” – a great company, happy employees, and a fulfilled leader. One of the pillars of the more human philosophy is the establishment of the Culture of Accountability. I touched on it briefly on that previous post – it’s the key to getting to a place where “ the need to be good is replaced with a relentless passion to be great”.

'By John Baldoni , Chair, Leadership Development, N2growth. Management is your day job; leadership is your career.

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.

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.
