Day in and day out, we’re all coming up with ideas at work and home as we go about routine tasks or during meetings and problem-solving sessions. There’s often a tendency to think that more ideas mean better results. But, typically, this isn’t the case. A focus on generating more, rather than better-quality, ideas might lead to slower decision-making and lower motivation to be creative.

I'm constantly struck by how much faith businesses put in numbers, especially numbers about the past. All businesses want to be "data driven" and the volume of reporting that occurs at the end of a week, month, quarter or year is astounding. Of course, we want to know if we made our numbers, or how key metrics compare to metrics from other months or quarters.

Machine learning has an “AI” problem. With new breathtaking capabilities from generative AI released every several months — and AI hype escalating at an even higher rate — it’s high time we differentiate most of today’s practical ML projects from those research advances. This begins by correctly naming such projects: Call them “ML,” not “AI.” Including all ML initiatives under the “AI” umbrella oversells and misleads, contributing to a high failure rate for ML business deployments.

As a decision-making strategy, “blind hiring” involves blocking evaluators from receiving potentially biasing information about a job candidate until after an evaluation of their application materials are complete. Most famously, the tactic was used to boost the hiring of women in orchestras by having people audition from behind a screen that concealed their gender.

Start-ups & SMBs launching products quickly must bundle dashboards, reports, & self-service analytics into apps. Customers expect rapid value from your product (time-to-value), data security, and access to advanced capabilities. Traditional Business Intelligence (BI) tools can provide valuable data analysis capabilities, but they have a barrier to entry that can stop small and midsize businesses from capitalizing on them.
