One of my favorite business hobbies is to reduce some nasty decision down to its absolute core objective, decide the most basic strategy, and then add more and more modifications as you have to confront the complexity of reality (yes I have very lame hobbies thanks I know). Software engineers want to deliver features quickly without adding too much tech debt.

The concept of execution in the business world is a multifaceted exercise, especially from the perspective of the leader. I call it “checking all the boxes” – moving the machine hour by hour, day by day, and year by year, towards its ultimate goal. Because it’s obviously important to do this, it often can overwhelm our brains and put us in a position where we operate as if our “job” is: Get Stuff Done.

While data platforms, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and programming platforms have evolved to leverage big data and streaming data, the front-end user experience has not kept up. Holding onto old BI technology while everything else moves forward is holding back organizations. Traditional Business Intelligence (BI) aren’t built for modern data platforms and don’t work on modern architectures.

Bob Gourley. Mark Zuckerberg walked through Facebook's 10 year plan during the keynote of the F8 conference on 12 April 2016. This roadmap is grounded in reality but very exciting.

Great coaching is at the heart of meaningful accomplishments. In an organizational and team context, being able to coach people means helping them overcome their own resistance, get unstuck and move forward in the direction of their goals. Great coaching catalyzes great results. But too often, we see managers and leaders getting so busy on the treadmill of getting things done that they lose focus on how those results are achieved.

CIOs need to learn how to use the HEAD decision making technique Image Credit: Ten Aku. As the person with the CIO job you have access to a great deal of information. In fact, some would say that you have access to too much information. Making a decision about the importance of information technology can be a very difficult thing to do. You have a great deal of information sitting at your disposal, but a lot of it may be contradictory.

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.

Katie Kennedy. We live in an age where our lives are increasingly embedded in the digital world. From mobile to cloud, our data is everywhere, feeding seemingly endless and varied security attacks, from the recent Panama Papers leak to repeated ransomware attacks on hospitals. People need new ways to protect and secure their data wherever it is. Traditional methods such as firewalls are no longer effective by themselves; as the advent of quantum computing draws closer other security measures suc

Earlier this month, when I was speaking on mindful leadership to the Latino Leadership Summit of one of my client companies, I shared the graphic that accompanies this post. It shows what happens when the body is in the chronic state of fight or flight that comes from being constantly overworked and overwhelmed. Chronic fight or flight impacts your leadership effectiveness for sure, but, more importantly, it shortens your life and reduces the quality of it while you’re still here.

Rick Delgado. Many data scientists find themselves in an interesting position within their organizations. For many businesses, big data is new territory and hiring data scientists is a new endeavor, usually in an area where managers and business leaders have little to no experience.

If I had a lot of money I’d create a new website. It would be similar to Wikipedia, but instead of descriptive text it would only contain cold, hard facts. Explicit relationships between specific things relative to time. Structurally, the underlying encoding would be some formulaic knowledge based representation of the relationships, thus avoiding any vague or misrepresented information.
