There’s a bunch of companies working on machine learning as a service. Some old companies like Google , but now also Amazon and Microsoft. Then there’s a ton of startups: PredictionIO ($2.7M funding), BigML ($1.6M funding), Clarifai , etc, etc. Here’s a nice map from Bloomberg showing some of the landscape. As much as I love ML, I’m not super bullish on these companies.

'There’s a big return on investment for leaders who are willing to do the right thing, even when it’s very hard to do. A great example is letting someone go who you just know isn’t going to go gracefully or easily. Or, to change a policy or program midstream, knowing that it’s going to inconvenience a lot of people, people who have families and personal lives that will also be affected.

Unlike smaller organizations, where basic BI features and simple dashboards might suffice, enterprises must manage vast amounts of data from diverse sources.

'The dictionary definition of resistance is: Any force that slows down or prevents motion. So, naturally we define resistance to change as any force that slows down or prevents change. The funny thing is that we don’t really detect resistance unless people aren’t changing as quickly or as enthusiastically or as smoothly as we expect. Otherwise we would think that everything is fine.

I saw a bunch of tweets over the weekend about Peter Norvig claiming there’s a negative correlation between being good at programming competitions and being good at the job. There were some decent Hacker News comments on it. Norvig’s statement is obviously not true if we’re drawing samples from the general population – most people can’t code. It doesn’t necessarily even have to do with time allocation as this commenter alluded to: Being a champion at something requires excruciating narrow focus

When we’re trying to implement change and we encounter these resistant behaviors, we often have three unhelpful responses that make it seem even more frustrating than it really is.
