This is very, very good. This video created by Apple in 1987 shows how a ‘Knowledge Navigator’ would work, depicting a university professor interacting with a tablet computer through voice.

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 second “Best Practices” type of session I attended was SPC245, “Making SharePoint 2010 Collaboration Rock by Increasing Findability” presented by Jornata’s Scott Jamison. Although he is a principal at a competitor, he is also a top-notch presenter, and I always enjoy and get value from Scott’s presentations. Clearly vying for the title of “ Hardest Working Man in Show Business ,” Scott, in his third presentation of the day, blitzed through many specific, practical tips on how to make ShareP

Tied up in meetings all day? Every day? If so, you are failing – somewhere – and may not know it. Talking with a consultant years ago, he told me that “time is my only inventory” Essentially, he was saying that “time is money” Over the years since, I have considered different ways of looking at this concept. Since we are all here for a finite period, you could look at it as a statement that recognizes that time is an asset that is in limited supply.

The second wave of sessions I attended at last week's SharePoint Conference comprised presentations by experts about best practices in and around SharePoint. The first of these presentations was by Sue Hanley , whose work I have admired for a long time. One of her areas of expertise, and the topic of this session (SPC 248), is “Measuring the Value of SharePoint 2010 Investments.”.

Luxury is “the opposite of vulgarity” said Coco Chanel. It is also in many ways the opposite of poverty. As people in developed countries – and increasing number in developing countries – grow more affluent, luxury defines what their wealth can be spent on once theirbasic needs are assuaged. In a positive sense, this is about sensory refinement and human taste at its most discerning.

I would have loved to have been the “fly on the wall” the day some product marketing geniuses burst through the conference room (or lab) door and exclaimed that they had discovered the next best thing and it’s called cloud computing ! Now a new name has become popular – consumerization of IT. This will soon be shortened to simply “consumerization”, much like cloud computing became just “cloud” Consumerization is currently being defined by the mark

A second Microsoft roadmap session I attended at last weeks’ SPC was session SPC271, David Pae’s “SharePoint 2010: Improving Productivity with Social.” It was actually somewhere between a roadmap session and a case study session, with examples of social computing inside Microsoft (and of course, Contoso) that illustrate where SharePoint 2010 and complementary products can foster social computing initiatives.

Tomorrow is the Australian Human Resources Institute HR Technology conference. I will be MC for the conference day, and will also run a half-day workshop on Creating Results Using Social Media on the following day. I thought I would share the visual content we will be using during the workshop. As usual, the slides are not intended to be useful by themselves, but to provide supporting content for the activities and discussions of the session.

Another impression that occurred to me throughout the week at the SharePoint Conference , in stark comparison to the Oracle/Salesforce kerfuffle up the coast at OpenWorld, was that I rarely, if ever, heard about competitive technologies to SharePoint in keynotes or sessions. No Jive, no Cognos, no Box.net, no Alfresco, no Yammer, no Autonomy, etc., at least in the sessions I was in.

I grouped sessions I wanted to attend at SPC 2011 into three waves: . Overview/roadmap sessions from Microsoft about areas important to me. Expert “best practices” sessions. Customer case studies. This is the start of the first wave: Microsoft overview/roadmap sessions. The first session I attended Monday was SPC249, “Microsoft’s Vision and Strategy for the Future of Business Intelligence [BI],” featuring speakers Steve Tullis and Kamal Hathi.
