What passes for strategy in too many businesses, government agencies, and military operations is a toxic mix of wishful thinking and a jumble of incoherent policies. Richard P. Rumelt’s breakthrough concept is that leaders become effective strategists when they focus on challenges rather than goals, pinpointing the crux of their pivotal challenge—the aspect that is both surmountable and promises the greatest progress—and taking decisive, coherent action to overcome it.

Over a stellar career, Roger Martin has advised the CEOs of some of the world's most successful companies. From the beginning, he noted that almost every executive he talked to had a "model"—a framework or way of thinking that guided their strategy and activities. But these models tended to become automatic, so much so that when one didn't work, the typical response was just to apply it again—with greater enthusiasm.

For all of neuroscience's advances, we've made little progress on its biggest question: How do simple cells in the brain create intelligence? Jeff Hawkins and his team discovered that the brain uses map-like structures to build a model of the world - not just one model, but hundreds of thousands of models of everything we know. This discovery allows Hawkins to answer important questions about how we perceive the world, why we have a sense of self, and the origin of high-level thought.

Doug Laney nails it. How to compete in the future
I've been an information scientist all my adult life. Doug Laney nails it comprehensively. There is the world before the iPhone and internet, and after, from my perspective. Before, big data may have been the province of airlines and oil companies. Today, the tools to extract value from data, your own and that which you can acquire, are found readily available online.
Doug writes methodically and even alliteratively (see the subtitle "monetize, manage, and measure" which helps to remember the big themes. He lays out the case as to why management says they value information but their actions betray their words. Then he more powerfully makes the case that paying lip service to monetizing information will leave your company lagging behind in profits and standing.
The good news follows where he catalogs all the ways that businesses can take advantage of the value of information. He dives into each method with multiple practical examples and tools, including assessment tools at the Gartner web site.
To be honest, I have not even finished all of the chapters (up to 10 so far) and I'm restarting in order to take down organized notes. I intend to use this book to measure the readiness, capacity, and effort my own business and my clients' businesses are making to leverage the value of information.
Don't just read this book. Study it and make use of it. Your business will be much stronger because of the principles found within its pages.

Data is the new oil. Data is essential for companies to predict trends, identify opportunities and be two steps ahead of the competition by providing them with important insights before they happen. But all this data would render useless without something called data visualization, the ability to turn raw information into meaningful insights. Mastering this skill will undoubtedly lead to better and faster business decisions.

This staggering amount of information - unprecedented in history - can tell us a great deal about who we are - the fears, desires, and behaviors that drive us, and the conscious and unconscious decisions we make. From the profound to the mundane, we can gain astonishing knowledge about the human psyche that less than 20 years ago seemed unfathomable.

We live in the age of the algorithm. Increasingly the decisions that affect our lives - where we go to school, whether we get a car loan, how much we pay for health insurance - are being made not by humans but by mathematical models. In theory this should lead to greater fairness. But as Cathy O'Neil reveals in this urgent and necessary book, the opposite is true. Tracing the arc of a person's life, O'Neil exposes the black-box models that shape our future, both as individuals and as a society.

Mastering this skill will undoubtedly lead to better and faster business decisions.

By the end of on average day in the early 21st century, human beings searching the Internet will amass eight trillion gigabytes of data. This staggering amount of information - unprecedented in history - can tell us a great deal about who we are - the fears, desires, and behaviors that drive us, and the conscious and unconscious decisions we make. From the profound to the mundane, we can gain astonishing knowledge about the human psyche that less than 20 years ago seemed unfathomable.

We live in the age of the algorithm. Increasingly the decisions that affect our lives - where we go to school, whether we get a car loan, how much we pay for health insurance - are being made not by humans but by mathematical models. In theory this should lead to greater fairness. But as Cathy O'Neil reveals in this urgent and necessary book, the opposite is true. Tracing the arc of a person's life, O'Neil exposes the black-box models that shape our future, both as individuals and as a society.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 187
Do you really understand what business value is? Information technology can and should deliver business value. But the Agile literature has paid scant attention to what business value means - and how to know whether or not you are delivering it. This problem becomes ever more critical as you push value delivery toward autonomous teams and away from requirements "tossed over the wall" by business stakeholders. An empowered team needs to understand its goal!
