Understand what game you are playing and what step matters now versus later

Understand what game you are playing and dont go for fancy tactical moves sacrificing effort and learning serving people here and now. Here and now is the better way to learn what works and what doesnt for the people who care. Often the fancy tactics is just a form of hiding, and often you loose time to the alternatice cost of showing up today, in the precent for those who already care. And some business and chess talk just to illustrate the point in how little can give so much for someo...

Data-Driven illusions & effects

Welcome to Results and Relationships  Today some thoughts on data-driven illusions and how they can impact our lives. With my 29 years of experience as a consultant in the data information analytics & cyber protection industry, I'm often been asked questions about data-driven decisions. What I think isn't being said often enough is that we should dare to discuss our vulnerabilities. We should talk about what we don't know and what controls us, as it's often the case that we don't fully...

machines are talking - are you listening?

machines are talking - are you listening? I try to have these cast mostly timeless, and less timely but I’ve gotten so much machine-learning & AI questions lately and I thought I should share a perspective I don’t hear that often. Surely we’ve on a journey where each version have more and more data and being trained on the previous version. Making it very fast and scaringly biased. The thing I believe we underestimate is the “Explain like talking to a five year old” combined with the re...

Embracing constraints and arguing for limitations

Embracing constraints can be a powerful tool to help us create better solutions. It is not the same as arguing for their limitations, which can be counterproductive and lead to stagnation. Instead, by understanding and accepting the boundaries of a situation, we are able to find creative and innovative solutions that can help us move forward. By accepting and understanding the limitations of a situation, we can challenge ourselves to come up with solutions that work within those limits, whil...

You have way more minutes in your day to day life available to you that you thing. They are just easily given to distractions or just not thinking about it and thus not thinking about how much such minutes we all have every year.

Instead of just "see what's new", give yourself the gift of having written a few sentence, made ...

What's your definition of kind? Sometimes I need to remind myself that tension is needed for change, frictionfree is rarely kind.

Embrace and set constraints - everything is a bag and has a category and pattern. Dont let your defaults rule fool you from making decisions early

Someone once said. Life is an empty bag and it's your job to fill it purposely and wisely.
