Digital Strategy Series Part 2: Creating an Agile and Adaptive Business Strategy Courtesy of AI
While Strategy may not be dead, the importance of the traditional strategy function will be greatly reduced by the emergence of AI. In my previous blog “Strategy Series Part 1: "Creating a Data Strategy that Delivers Value," I asked: How does one develop data and AI strategies in a world of continuous change and transformation? Tesla provides an interesting poster child for that question: What is Tesla’s business strategy? Is Tesla an automotive company or a transportation company or a…See More

Digital Strategy Series Part I: Creating a Data Strategy that Delivers Value
Oh, the strategy pundits hate me! It’s not because I’m tall, good looking and from Iowa (well, 2 out of 3 ain’t bad), it’s because I think Strategy as a “Discipline” is way overblown. I won’t go as far as the Harvard Business Review to state that “Strategy is Dead”, but the importance of carefully defining a strategy (typically done in the ivory towers of the puzzle palace) and then commanding all the little soldiers to follow the strategy script are over!Former World Heavyweight Boxing…See More
Leveraging Data Science to Create a COVID-19 At-Risk Score

So, let’s stop pointing fingers at “others” and blaming them for the world’s woes. Now is the time to work together and create a plan to address the “when” and “how” questions. And here’s a plan for doing that.Step 1: No More Blanket MandatesBlanket mandates only work for everyone who is average, and most people are not average. Like most…See More
COVID-19 Lesson: Digital Transformation Is an Essential Service
The COVID-19 crisis has hammered home the importance for organizations to become more digital. And I suspect that most organizations are thinking that just means being able to support remote customer engagements and business operations. But that’s not nearly sufficient. Organizations that are thriving during COVID-19 are those that have gone beyond just “digitalizing” their engagements and operations, but are actively leveraging granular customer, product and operational data to build…See More
The Art of Thinking Like a Data Scientist: The Movie
The Covid19 pandemic has given me a chance to catch up on some reading. One of the books I recently finished reading is called “Building a Story Brand” by Donald Miller. It’s a short and very effective read (which all books should be). The premise of the book is that all sales and marketing messages should be structured like a movie, and successful movies have a standard approach for telling an engaging story (see Figure 1).…See More
5 Ways to Empower Your Team and Scale Innovation
Martin Hughes, MBA Director for J.E. Cairnes School of Business & Economics at the National University of Ireland Galway, recently asked me to present to his MBA class on Team Empowerment. I was excited for two reasons:First, it was a topic I had never covered in the past, so it pushed me intellectually out of my comfort zone. It forced me to contemplate my personal experiences in empowering a high-functioning, diverse team in this age of digital transformation. Second, it forced me to…See More
