When I ask managers where they regret not spending enough time, unequivocally, the number one answer is “Not spending enough time developing my people.” There never seems to be enough time, or resources, or support from above, or fill in your favorite blank here _. And yet when I ask managers to identify one thing they KNOW would improve their results, you guessed it… the same answer, “If only I had more time to develop my people.” Perhaps you’ve felt that way

Many organizations today are unlocking the power of their data by using graph databases to feed downstream analytics, enahance visualizations, and more. Yet, when different graph nodes represent the same entity, graphs get messy.

When I was in my sales and customer service executive roles, whenever I needed a pick-me-up, I would go talk to the new hire classes. They’re fired up, full of ambition, and ready to serve. “Raise your hand if you’re looking to be promoted into management” Every hand in the room goes up. Sadly, in many companies something happens along the way.

It was a conversation that forever changed my vision of “ corporate leadership “, and put me on the more human path. It also taught me the immense value of an open heart and mind. The funny thing was, it wasn’t a chat with a boss, or a mentor, or a teacher that set me straight. It wasn’t a concerned friend or colleague who wanted to pass along helpful advice.

When we think of the term “Change Agent,” we typically think the word “agent” means catalyst: a force or substance that causes change. After all, we’re the ones who get things done, right? We instigate change and keep the energy going to see the change come to fruition. However, there’s an alternate definition of “agent” we should consider when talking about change agents: a representative.

I once worked with a CEO who was paranoid about results, so much so that he never cared for relationships with those who delivered the results. The end results weren’t surprising – the intended results were never delivered because people either stopped caring or moved on. The loss was almost irreparable. Leading in a complex world is almost like a tight rope walk and leaders cannot afford to have singular focus on either task or relationship.

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.

JANUARY 10, 2016

What’s most interesting about reading lots of code is that you get a fairly deep insight into how people think. Building software solutions involves decomposing a bunch of related problems into discrete pieces and then recomposing them back into a solution that allows users to get their work completed. Examining these pieces shows both how the individuals involved break apart the world, and how much they understand of the it to be able to put it all back together again.

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.
