Organizations erroneously believe that 100% of the value of strategic planning for the future lies in determining “what comes next” or putting a stake in the ground regarding “where we want to be.” Most of the real value associated with strategic planning for the future emerges from a nondelusional articulation of the current situation. Just like with Uber or Google Maps, if you want to get where you are going, you have to be very specific about where you are starting from.

When starting to build a new frontend application, most of the time frameworks like Angular, React, and Vue are considered preferred frameworks. This is understandable because these frameworks have been around for a long time and have proven to work very well. They also have the support of a strong community. However, last year, Microsoft released the biggest upgrade for Blazor since its release in 2018.

Your boss points out what’s going wrong more often than what’s going right. They nitpick your work, highlighting every possibility for improvement. Meetings sometimes feel like inquisitions. While a generally difficult boss might be challenging due to their mood swings, lack of clarity, or unpredictability, a highly critical boss consistently focuses on “the gap,” not the gain.

A critical but often overlooked part of the recruiting and hiring process happens before the job description is posted — or even created. Hiring managers should conduct a thorough assessment of their team’s current skills, aspirations, and culture to make sure they’re courting candidates with the skill sets and capabilities will truly add value to the team and organization — both now and in the future.

Traditionally, transformation efforts are organized as programs with a defined beginning and end. Rooted in a change model popularized by German American psychologist Kurt Lewin in the 1950s, this approach involves three stages: “unfreeze, change, and refreeze.” Although it is effective for discrete projects like implementing a new payroll system, this model falls short in today’s dynamic business environment.

May was a month of announcements: between Google, Apple, Microsoft, and OpenAI, there was much ado about—well, very little, in fact. It’s always seemed to me that big announcements steal attention that might otherwise go to projects that are less flashy but more deserving. (Or maybe I’m just becoming jaded.) That’s not to say that nothing interesting happened.

Everyone wants in on the AI boom. For now, however, you can probably count on one hand the number of vendors cashing in. The most obvious one is Nvidia , of course. Nvidia has earned nation-state levels of cash for its GPUs ($26 billion in the first quarter of 2024 alone). Beyond Nvidia are the big three cloud vendors and OpenAI. Beyond that cast of five, however, it’s pretty hard to find many—yet.
