In reflecting on the current workforce, global economy, technology, and labor markets, I revisited the origins of the U.S. Labor Day, which is celebrated on the first Monday in September, similar to the International Worker’s Day on May 1. While the tipping point for political winds appears to have been the Haymarket riot in Chicago… Read More
Transforming healthcare with data physics
I just completed an in-depth paper on how our work and system can help life science and healthcare companies overcome the great challenges they face, so I wanted to share some thoughts while still fresh. The paper is part of our long-term commitment to healthcare and life sciences, requiring a deep dive over the past… Read More
Complex dynamics at the confluence of human and artificial intelligence (Wired)
While it may be an interesting question whether the seasons are changing in artificial intelligence (AI), or to what extent the entertainment industry is herding pop culture, it may not have much to do with future reality. Given recent attention AI has received and the unique potential for misunderstanding, I thought a brief story from the trenches in the Land of Enchantment might shed some light. Read More
Kyield Enterprise Description Converted to StratML
I just wanted to point to a nice conversion of our Kyield Enterprise description to Strategy Markup Language (StratML); an XML vocabulary and schema for strategic plans. The work was performed without solicitation over the weekend by Owen Ambur, Chair AIIM StratML & Co-Chair Emeritus xml.gov. The human readable version (styled) of Kyield Enterprise in StratML can… Read More
Book Review: “Artificial Cognitive Architectures”
Aficionados of artificial intelligence often fantasize, speculate, and debate the holy grail of a fully autonomous artificial life form, yet rarely do we find a proposed architecture approaching a credible probability of success. With “Artificial Cognitive Architectures”, Drs Crowder, Carbone and Friess have painstakingly pulled together many disparate pieces of the robot puzzle in sufficient form to convince this skeptic that a human-like robot is finally within the realm of achievement….

Why it has always been, and will always be — the network of entities
Physics won this debate before anyone had a vision that a computer network might someday exist, but biology played an essential role on the team. The reason of course is that all living things, including humans and our organizations, are unique in the universe—for our purposes anyway—until that identical parallel universe is discovered. Even perfectly… Read More
New Report: Adaptive Unification for Life Science Ecosystems
A good example of this change is this new report, which is a hybrid of an academic paper with citations supporting our claims, with a detailed brochure for senior managers in pharmaceuticals, biotech, and healthcare–particularly those seriously pursuing personalized medicine and significant improvement in operational efficiency:

The ‘Sweet Spot of Big Data’ May Contain a Sour Surprise for Some
I’ve been observing a rather distasteful trend in big data for the enterprise market over the past 18 months that has reached the point of wanting to share some thoughts despite a growing mountain of other priorities.
As the big data hype grew over the past few years, much of which was enabled by Hadoop and other FOSS stacks, internal and external teams serving large companies have perfected a (sweet spot) model that is tailored to the environment and tech stack. Many vendors have also tailored their offerings for the model backed up with arguably too much funding by VCs, dozens too many analyst reports, and a half-dozen too many CIO publications attempting to extend reach and increase the add spend.

On role and title of Chief Data Officer
I left an extensive comment on a discussion surrounding the role and title of Chief Data Officer (CDO) over at Forrester Blogs by Gene Leganza, so thought I would share it here on our own blog (below). ~~~~ Gene CDO reminds me of CKO more than CIO — and also suffers some of the same… Read More
New Year Review 2013: The Importance of Triple Win Ecosystems
Looking Back on 2012 Among the positive trends we observed in 2012 include relatively strong continued adoption of richly structured data across all major industry clusters. A significant portion of senior managers have just recently engaged in an attempt to seriously understand how best to optimize structured data for their organizations and partners, with an… Read More
