About four months ago, I attended a Gartner dinner and received a copy of The Wolf in CIO's Clothing from author Tina Nunno. I took the quiz right away (won't tell you my scoring, but let's just say I am not a lamb) but it's taken me awhile to finally read the book. If you're a CIO or aspire to be one, I suggest you download a copy. It's a quick read packed with key insights on managing.

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.

The effective vehicles for retaining the top talent are effective leadership, agile mindset, the culture of learning, robust (not rigid) processes, and cool technology tools, etc. People spend significant time in the workplace. However, statistically more than two-thirds of employees don’t feel engaged; and people also have a different expectation for their work.

The deaths of three wildland firefighters Aug. 19 in Okanogan County, Wash., is both painful and tragic. Unfortunately the deaths of these firefighters is only the latest in a series of firefighter deaths from wildfires. On June 28, 2013, nineteen Arizona firefighters lost their lives when winds suddenly shifted in the Yarnell Hill fire. An airtanker carrying flame retardant was directly overhead at the time of the tragedy, but radio communications were both spotty and overloaded.

The first step in a successful Customer Experience endeavor (or for that matter, any business proposition) is to find out what’s wrong. 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.
