A Quantum Leap of Faith

Is Quantum Physics a religion?  There are many similarities.  Quantum physics tries to explain the nature of the universe, the ultimate answer to the question of where do we come from and how does it all work?  Both are filled with deep mystery and require tremendous faith to reconcile its concepts with our everyday real lives. …See More

Is there a shortcut on the road to nowhere?

In the 1980s the business drumbeat sung to the tune of "better, faster, cheaper."  In the 1990s, the Internet augmented this cadence to "free, perfect and now."  Who knows, what tomorrow will bring, maybe it'll be "superior value, available everywhere, just when you need it.".  What I do know is that in order to get there, we'll all be looking for the same thing, a shortcut.  Take a moment out of your busy…See More

A cubists view of business improvement...

“Innovation” is a nebulous term that business pundits bandy about with reckless abandon.  Perhaps at one time it held a narrower and truer meaning, but years of human handling have converted it to almost a non-word through years of misapplication, like a child’s use of the word “fairness.”  Many people treat innovation as if there was an objective innovation detector that lights up and audibly whines when in…See More

Measuring Up

Good metrics are the ultimate business tease, offering tremendous promise, making it sound easy, and then falling apart at the last moment. I think that humans become seduced by the logic and stability of math's reputation, forgetting the fact that numbers, like humans, can also be irrational, chaotic, misleading and untrustworthy. If left to our own mental devices, human managers kvetch over most decisions, especially those with critical financial impact, like when to accelerate which…See More
