I've seen decisions stall on the phrase 'we don't have enough data.' This is not about the data. It's often a fear of asking a question that might be wrong. The best leaders don't wait for answers; they form hypotheses and test them.

Part rant, part nostalgia, part cautionary tale. But at least there's 80s music!

GenAI adoption and ideas for early moving strategy have been running around my head too much lately. Getting it out on (virtual) paper to make some mental space. Here's my take: GenAI First Steps — Use Case Selection is Key link.medium.com/8EKAERci1Mb

Will the Chief AI Officer role emerge? Here's my take: scottyd99999.blogspot.com/2024/08/the-...

I’m curious. Was it just me or was today’s Cadbury Half Marathon at least a kilometre too long? Strava tells me I ran 22.4km. I wondering if one of the little offshoot loops we run was only intended for the full marathon runners. #running

Question for the bilingual among you. I’m heading to Paris and would like enough grasp of the French language to be comfortable. I took high school French (40 years ago so much is now forgetter). Looking ideas please: the best way to learn enough of the language in 4 months. Babbel? Something else?

Re-reading Cal Newport’s ‘Deep Work’. I’d forgotten how many great ideas it has in there. Time to remind myself to re-adopt a few! It’s well worth the read if you find yourself yearning for the good old days when you had the time to do meaningful work!

Four flights in the last few days gave me the chance to get a few books in.

Alberto Cairo's How Charts Lie: Getting Smarter about Visual Information is well worth the read (and the recommendation to colleagues who create or consume charts & other visualisations)

Looking forward to sharing a few thoughts on using data governance as an enabler. If you're planning to be at revAlation in Sydney come and say 'hi'.
