Don’t give up just ’cause you are old enough to retire, especially if you want to continue working but not at that full-time pace anymore.

European Parliament: Artificial Intelligence Act – March 2024

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”

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. The more tangible future may just be in a derivation of what some have called theContinue reading “It’s Not Full Time Jobs”

People First Span of your Life (cycle)

Perspective is driven by several components: Experience, Dreams, your perception of a “horizon”, Desires, and, at times, the only measurable things in your reach.

A fundamental working assumption for any Portfolio Management process is that it has a high probability of changing on a regular basis to take advantage of new thinking, changingContinue reading “Portfolio Project Management – Level Zero”

Agilist Working Definition

For today, I am proposing a working job definition for “Agilists” which I would really like to hear about from those who are willingContinue reading “Agilist Working Definition”

My Mission Today

What is your mission? Today is January 11, 2023. I turned 76 this passed November and I remember when I tried to retire back when I was around 64 – 65. Retirement was brief (just days really), awful, boring, and drove me nuts – more nuts than my usual “nuts”. My Mission has had manyContinue reading “My Mission Today”
