I am now one year into my third CIO role where digital transformation was a top priority. It's hard enough to jump into an organization as a new CIO and make an impact in year one and much harder to either lead or be a team member in a transformation program. Bu that's exactly what I've been tasked to do, and my last several posts come from insights across all three organizations.

Over my career, I’ve hired over 50 direct reports and been involved in the hiring process for over 150 other people. For the most part, all of these hires ended up being good people and great employees. Sure, there were a couple bad hires in there but I’d like to think my track record is pretty good mostly because I approached each interview as a conversation rather than a list of questions.

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.

Bob Gourley. Bitcoin is hot right now. It is known as a crypto-currency, but has the potential to be applied to far more than exchanging value. Bitcoin is a protocol, one that many consider the next great protocol for the Internet and the emerging Internet of Things. As advanced applications are developed that leverage the capabilities that make Bitcoin possible, enterprise technologists will be able to tap into new capabilities for security and functionality.

The issue I have had is that not all of the process can be automated. The steps of turning on the TPM, and activating it can be automated. The portion where the TPM is cleared is a forced, manual process.

The trick is delaying the LiteTouch.wsf from trying to execute the next task before network connectivity is available. Kyle's fix is putting a simple timed delay in the LiteTouch.wsf. I decided to enhance this fix by using PowerShell. Instead of having to guess at how long to wait, why not use the Test-Connection commandlet and delay the script until connectivity is available?

If you can’t identify it, you can’t fix it! 💡 That’s where the Voice of the Customer (VoC) comes in. Today, far too many brands do VoC simply because that’s what they think they’re supposed to do; that’s what all their competitors do.
