Innovation doesn’t just come from serendipity. Leaders who nurture great ideas rely on concrete mechanisms to ensure that they see the right ideas, give them breathing room to development, and connect dots throughout their organizations. In any company, the challenge with innovation is seldom the volume of ideas. The challenge lies with having ideas that are related to emerging trends, involve more than the company can do on its own, require nurturing, and are cross-functional in nature.

Most of the talk about the impact of GenAI on software development is about its ability to write (messy) code. But many of us think it's going to be much more useful to help us understand existing messy code, as part of a modernization effort. My colleagues Alessio Ferri , Tom Coggrave , and Shodhan Sheth have been considering how GenAI can do this , including building an internal tool to help explore the possibilities.

Writing code for a computer is hard enough. You take something big and fuzzy, some large vague business outcome you want to achive. Then you break it down recursively and think about all the cases until you have clear logical statements a computer can follow. Computers are very good at following logical statements. Now, let's crank it up a notch. Let's try to write code for humans !

We are all getting older. But never before have we been getting this much older. In the U.S., at least one in six people is now over the age of 65. At the same time, in most developed countries older adults are accounting for an unprecedented share of the population. It’s a global phenomenon as well, particularly for the very old. Over the next 30 years, the number of people who are 80 or older will roughly triple worldwide.

We have continued to see the threat landscape evolve faster than most organizations can keep pace: In about 45% of our cases in 2023, attackers exfiltrated data in less than 24 hours after compromise. This means that organizations must respond within hours to stop them.
