It was late. It was just Joanne, the HR Director; Juan dusting the doors; and I left in the building. The only sounds were the swishing of the sprinklers hitting against the high glass windows. Joanne looked up at me from behind her desk with that exhausted, weary grin that comes from realizing that the work ahead is more complicated than you thought. “There’s a reason you told me that story last week about that CEO you’re working with, isn’t there?

A recent conversation reminds me of a common blind spot for improvement teams: getting so caught up in implementation that they lose focus on creating lasting change. His cross-functional improvement team was charged with driving out unnecessary costs in the operation. The task seemed straightforward: use data to find opportunities for making better spending decisions, and improve related processes.

I recently spent a couple of days in New York. It was hot and humid, so I didn’t think twice being offered a ride in an open bicycle cart from Central Park to my hotel, which was approximately a 15 minute ride. I asked the driver to take the scenic road and enjoyed a last glance of the beautiful park, which added another 35 minutes to my New York experience. “It’s 35 dollars sir’ or at least that is what I have heard.

“A good starting point for embedding reflection into daily workflow is to approach the practice at two levels; individual reflection, and then reflection with colleagues and team members. Reflective practice itself doesn’t ‘just happen’. It is a learned process. It requires some degree of self-awareness and the ability to critically evaluate experiences, actions and results.”. – The Power of Reflection in an Ever-Changing World , Charles Jennings.

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.

While there is a need for thinking literally when learning the basics of a discipline, once we have the rules down, we can (and should) innovate to our hearts content. Then, creativity is based on substance. And while occupations such as music and art are often held up as the examples of creativity, management needs creativity and innovation in order to avoid becoming stale and stolid.

Sanjeev Sularia. We have come to a point where online needs to be connected at a cellular level with offline. The problem is that many companies still treat them as separate entities, and that is hobbling any chance of success warns Intelligence Node’s Sanjeev Sularia. Shopping has changed – consumers now want to be able to shop in-store or online, wherever and whenever they want, but the problem is many retailers still don’t see the two roads intersecting, which means they are losing out when i

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.

In the 16th century, political consultant (for lack of a better term) Niccolò Machiavelli’s works were published in the controversial manuscript The Prince – which is still in print today. In it, Machiavelli shared his theories on how a ruler could maintain control of his province – especially when gaining new subjects through military or political conquest.

Research Team. We have been tracking Amazon for years, but as a reference point consider that in November 2006 BusinessWeek ran a cover story with the title "Jeff Bezos' Risky Bet" where the concept of cloud computing as a business model disruptor was catapulted into the mainstream. Since then the risky bet has paid off for Amazon and has helped transform the business ecosystem in ways few could have predicted.

Silos exist inside and outside of IT, CIOs need a plan to deal with them Image Credit: Rex Hammock. As the person with the CIO job at your company, you have control over the domain of IT. If you want it to happen in your department, then it’s going to happen. However, if we step outside of your department into finance, or accounting, or sales, your power starts to drop off rather quickly because they don’t have the same view of the importance of information technology.

What a week! Hacker summer camp in Vegas was amazing! This was my first time through for all three of the conferences in Vegas – BSidesLV, Black Hat, and Defcon. I’ve been to BSidesLV and Defcon plenty of times, but experiencing all of these back-to-back (-to-back!, with a bit of overlap) gives a unique perspective on each of these and what makes them valuable.

I recently read 2 second Lean by Paul Akers. It’s a marvellous little book. It has re-ignited my deep-seated love for lean thinking, and in particular for continuous improvement via aggregation of marginal gains. I highly recommend you take the 2-3 hours to read it, and then look for ways to apply Akers’ ideas to your team. Partly inspired by 2-second Lean, and partly by the mob programming practice of daily retrospectives, I’ve recently been experimenting with using daily retr
