I believe that using Artificial Intelligence tools and their capabilities will increase for the foreseeable future. I also believe that since it is such a new “science” or capability, we need guidelines and safety measurements super-imposed on this usage so that we have some protection against the mis-use of this powerful and, as yet, uncontrolledContinue reading “European Parliament: Artificial Intelligence Act – March 2024”

Statement Of Work (SOW)

A I is Biased
Most intelligence is biased towards the things they believe they already know. People rely on their own knowledge and experience to make choices, make suggestions, or somehow control their lives. Software (like AI) bases their choices and responses on what they have retained from their learnings and use those learnings to respond as well asContinue reading “A I is Biased”
It’s Not Full Time Jobs
The future of our growth economy may not be the classic old 25 to 30 year desk job at a big corporation anymore. In fact it probably hasn’t been that type of work configuration for quite some time now.

I started writing notes about how to structure and operate these initial three PMOsContinue reading “How Many P’s in Your PMO?”
The Hybrid Work Model
I saw a survey for topics that a technical networking group might be interested in. This survey was taken on LinkedIn by a group that has approximately 2,000 members. One of the interesting results of this survey was that the topic of “HYBRID WORK MODEL” got ZERO responses while the three other topics received theContinue reading “The Hybrid Work Model”
K P I Requirements
Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) are measurements and projections that can help a management team make decisions about the Strategic and Tactical Plans for the future of an organization.
