Today's topic tackles my consistent frustrations with the Data Science community and how they apply machine learning algorithms and other tools to data without fully understanding the rest of the context. While this problem isn’t constrained to Data Science specifically, this discipline does lead the pack in examples. To understand this problem we’ll focus on three things that have been forgotten. The first thing forgotten is the history of where Data Science came from and the second two things forgotten derives from the first, and leads to the majority of the issues with applying Data Science solutions.

Today's topic gets into something that is not only counterintuitive, but really frustrating for so many people. It’s the behaviors, over and over, that everyone says they don’t want, but keep doing, and keep getting rewarded for, while so many, who try to break the cycle, are penalized.

Today's topic looks at three common fallacies that I’ve found leaders tell themselves thinking they’ll provide success. Yet I find them as the primary causes of organizational inefficiency.

These three failure modes also have a simple solution to remedy, or better yet, prevent any leader from falling victim to these fallacies and improve overall performance.

Today's topic addresses accepted tropes of eating, diet, and insights into how little we really know about something as simple as eating / or not eating. I’ll share some of my experience on this topic culminating with my most recent 10-day fast. Yes, that’s 10 days of nothing but water, coffee, and electrolytes. I’ll share things I’ve learned along the way about the benefits, and lessons learned about what not to do.

Today's topic engages the idea of bias in artificial intelligence (AI) and looks at how such a simple term actually isn’t, and leads to a fundamental misunderstanding of how to achieve the outcomes we desire from AI.

Today's topic will explore the current ‘phenomena’ of Quiet Quitting and questions whether our current cultural expectations for work are actually good for us.

Today's topic is a follow on to The Band-Aid Paradigm and we look at what to do, after removing the band-aids, to achieve true, sustained, process improvement.

Today's topic highlights how you can't just want innovation; you have to think innovation so that you can unlock the true capabilities in your existing systems and chart a course for the stars. This is part one of an envisioned series of insights into innovation.
