The document provides advice for startup founders and CEOs.

This document provides a collection of tips and concepts for business and personal life. Some key points include: do not reply immediately to something that irritates you; give projects and subjects to team members to observe their reactions; leave some free space for team members; when issues occur stay calm, get experts involved, troubleshoot, fix issues, and have lessons learned sessions; do not interrupt those trying to understand and fix issues; do not get stuck on issues and take breaks if needed; keep a balance between professional and personal life; trust is key but also requires some control; understand the roles in drama-intense relationships; visibility of invisible factors is important; start somewhere and progress constantly; be prepared for changes; technology is just a
This document provides advice and perspectives on management and leadership from Diego Pacheco. Some of the key points discussed include:
- Ego can distort reality and inhibit innovation, so leaders should suppress ego with humility.
- Not all communication needs to happen between all people; structured teams are better models than rigid organization charts.
- Feedback is difficult to give and receive but is important for growth if approached without emotion or defensiveness.
- Scenario modeling and role playing exercises can help train leaders by anticipating problems before they occur.
This document discusses various management concepts and principles:
- You cannot regulate failure in complex systems and it is better to focus on recovering from failures rather than trying to predict and prevent them.
- Product teams are more effective than feature teams because they are focused on discovering customer needs rather than having predefined solutions.
- Sharing a vision rather than a detailed roadmap allows for more flexibility and ability to change tactics.
- Psychological safety and an environment where people feel included, safe to learn and contribute, and safe to challenge the status quo is important for teams.
- Discipline is needed to successfully execute digital transformations but often lacks longevity and focus shifts to short term goals.
This document summarizes Robert Sutton's book "Weird Ideas that Work" which presents unconventional ideas for promoting innovation. Some of the ideas include hiring people who make you uncomfortable, using job interviews to gather ideas rather than screen candidates, and doing projects that are likely to fail in order to convince others that success is certain. The review discusses how Sutton's ideas can serve as a foundation or "menu" for innovation approaches. It also emphasizes the importance of bringing in diverse knowledge and perspectives, and challenging past assumptions to drive new ways of thinking.
The document outlines 9 common lies about work and proposes alternative truths. The lies discussed include that people care most about the company they work for rather than their team, that the best plan wins rather than intelligence in real-time, and that feedback and performance reviews can reliably rate people. The author argues that people primarily care about their team, intelligence is needed to adapt to a dynamic world, and that reviews mostly reflect raters rather than ratees. The truths proposed emphasize caring for one's team, prioritizing real-time intelligence over static plans, and that people can best rate their own experiences.

Most enterprises view innovation as searching for golden eggs and 'failing fast'. It's the wrong frame of mind. It's all about creating a learning culture.

Most enterprises view innovation as searching for golden eggs and 'failing fast'. It's the wrong frame of mind. It's all about creating a learning culture.
The document discusses how failure can be an advantage and learning opportunity if approached scientifically. It argues that most significant discoveries are the result of experimentation and learning from repeated failures, rather than accidents. It advocates exploring a wide range of alternatives and testing ideas through "prototype" experiments to learn from failures quickly before large investments are made. Creating a culture where failure is accepted as part of the learning process can help organizations and individuals succeed.

The Innovator's DNA - NYU Integrated Marketing PresentationKabeer Malhotra
This document summarizes the key skills and traits of innovative individuals and organizations. It identifies five discovery skills that innovative people possess: associating, questioning, observing, networking, and experimenting. Successful innovative companies have three elements in their DNA - people with discovery mindsets, processes that systematize innovation techniques, and philosophies where innovation is a company-wide priority. The document provides examples of innovative companies and teams that exemplify these traits.
This document discusses improving decision making through an improved decision process. It notes that humans have both fast, intuitive decision making (System I) and slower, more deliberate decision making (System II). While mining typically requires System II decisions due to their size, even these can fall prey to cognitive biases. To avoid this, the document recommends focusing on strengthening the decision process itself. A good process helps eliminate biases by considering alternative options, disconfirming evidence, minimizing short-term emotions, and preparing for multiple outcomes. Questions are also provided to help build these protections directly into the decision process.
This document discusses questions around metadata and cataloging practices for digital resources during times of economic, competitive, and demographic changes. It questions what metadata is essential, how to balance quality with efficiency, and how the library community can adapt traditional practices to new digital contexts and tools. The document suggests focusing on pragmatic, minimal standards while allowing flexibility and ensuring the work remains enjoyable.
This document summarizes a study that identified 5 discovery skills that distinguish highly innovative entrepreneurs:
1) Associating - Making connections between diverse ideas and fields of knowledge.
2) Questioning - Challenging the status quo through inquisitive questioning.
3) Observing - Closely observing human behaviors and actions to identify opportunities.
4) Experimenting - Willingly trying new experiences, taking things apart, and testing ideas through prototypes.
5) Networking - Finding and testing ideas through a diverse network of individuals from different backgrounds.
The presenter encourages developing these skills to foster more innovation within businesses and individuals. Examples are provided to illustrate how innovators have used these skills

Innovation vs. Best Practice – Conflict or Opportunity?
“Best practice” implies doing things in the best possible manner, based on past experience. But we like to think of ourselves as innovators in a dynamic industry – we want to go where no one has gone before. Thus, “best practice” and “innovation” are like oil and water – they don’t easily mix.
How can we, as UX professionals, balance the need for consistency that “best practice” provides, with our on-going mission to improve the quality of our products? How can we create genuine improvements – and when have we been seduced by the evil twins, Fad and Fashion?
“Innovation vs. Best Practice” explores the elements that make up these two ends of the UX spectrum. We’ll take a closer look at the popular definitions of both innovation and best practice – and discover why these are frequently inadequate, misleading, or both. Why is a “standard” not always a “best practice”? And if “invention” can be spontaneous, why is “innovation” always planned?
We’ll also examine some of the worst reasons to innovate, which are also some of the most common, plus the Japanese concept of “chindogu” – “useless innovation.” Perhaps most important of all, we’ll see how User Driven Design helps us avoid harmful innovation in comparison to the more common User Centered Design methodology.
The document provides guidance on how to make effective decisions through evidence-based and appreciative approaches. It recommends focusing on understanding the "job to be done" and measuring success based on mission alignment. Shared leadership and open communication systems can draw on knowledge and expertise from all areas. Decisions should be made appreciatively by exploring possibilities rather than problems and adapting based on evidence.
This document provides guidance on how to make effective decisions through evidence-based and appreciative approaches. It emphasizes deciding appreciatively by focusing on strengths and possibilities rather than problems. Decision-makers should understand the "job to be done" and measure success based on outcomes. Shared leadership that allows knowledge and expertise from all levels can help. Creating systems for open communication and knowledge sharing also aids the decision process. Evidence should be used to continually learn and adapt approaches. Exploration, discovery and aligning resources with goals further support making good decisions.

This document discusses various topics related to project, program and portfolio management including applying benefits realization management, focusing on outcomes rather than costs and risks, embracing challenges, and never stopping learning. It also recommends the book "Getting Things Done" by David Allen as a method to free your mind from clutter and focus. PMOs are said to exist within wider organizational ecosystems and the smallest acts that drive strategic execution are individual choices of what to work on. Creating shared purpose is more important than sharing thoughts.
Execution is one of the most overlooked elements of business. Strategy, finances, and market opportunities seem to get a lot more attention. In my own experience, getting an A+ on execution will beat out the other companies who have A+'s in the more traditional areas.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;

I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
