MIT Sloan Management Review together with Deloitte have just launched 2012 Social Business Global Executive Study and Research Project , drawing out some very interesting insights from a survey of almost 3,500 executives from 115 countries. Below the slides of the report I have selected several of the interesting slides with brief commentary. Social Business: What Are Companies Really Doing?

The Investing Edge

'As a VC firm focused on technology, it’s no accident we’re located in the heart of Boston. It’s a town full of smart people, energy, and ideas. That’s evident at any local meet-up we’ve attended, from WebInno to the Boston Innovation Challenge , to other entrepreneurial events in the city. But what we’ve found to be missing is an event that focuses exclusively on a technology area with current spending levels trending toward $3 trillion per year : Enterprise IT.

The Accidental Successful CIO

'Image Credit Just because you can't keep them out, does this mean that CIO's can ignore hackers? If a CIO picks up the paper, it seems like hackers are everywhere and getting into every IT department. Dare I say these modern day cyber pirates seem almost unstoppable? If it turns out that there is no way to keep hackers from breaking into your company’s IT systems, then should a CIO really spend a lot of time and money trying to keep them out?

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.

In my keynotes and executive sessions I often use the analogy of ant colonies, in which the collective intelligence of the colony is far greater than that of its individuals. Since the collective intelligence of many – or even most – human organizations is significantly less than the intelligence of many of its participants, there are no doubt lessons we can learn.

'Home. About. Standard Disclaimer. A Screw's Loose. BYOD required for retention? Bollocks!!! by Brian Katz on May 30, 2012 · 6 comments. I sat in an interesting meeting today ( this was actually written last night ) with a couple of vendors whose stated goal was to talk about BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) and how to make it easier to move in that direction within your company.

A few weeks ago I gave the keynote at the IT Nation Golden i Gala and Awards and earlier in the day ran a CIO workshop on Creating the Organisation of the Future. In my brief time in Luxembourg I learned about some of the many things that are happening in the tech scene in nation. As a tiny country of half a million people, it has the highest GDP per capita in the world, currently based primarily on its strong financial services industry, facilitated by its strong banking secrecy laws.

On Saturday I was interviewed on ABC24 about the news that Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) had said that it is acceptable for celebrities to do paid promotions on Twitter without disclosing their affiliation. This followed the announcement on ABC’s MediaWatch program that celebrity chef Matt Moran, among others, had accepted payment from South Australia’s Tourism Board for tweets.

'Home. About. Standard Disclaimer. A Screw's Loose. No, It’s really not a mobile ecosystem! by Brian Katz on May 29, 2012 · 3 comments. As my good friend (as a side note, I wrote goof first…he’s my goofy friend dammit) Benjamin Robbins decided to disagree with me about mobile ecosystems and by virtue of the fact that I think he’s still missing the point, we are going to continue the conversation on ecosystems.
