Quality Assurance Standards in Healthcare
Jennifer King
Many people don’t realize just how long AI has been around in the healthcare industry—and are surprised to find out that it’s something that’s been relied on for 50 years already. MYCIN, a computer-based model with machine learning capabilities, was developed by a team of researchers at Stanford…
Robots Practice Skills Independently, Adapt to Unfamiliar Environments
Alexander Shipps
The phrase “practice makes perfect” is usually reserved for humans, but it’s also a great maxim for robots newly deployed in unfamiliar environments. Picture a robot arriving in a warehouse. It comes packaged with the skills it was trained on, like placing an object, and now it needs to pick items…
Don’t Just Stand There, Improve Something!
Donald J. Wheeler
The objective of all improvement projects should be to improve the overall process. Everything else should be secondary to this objective. If you improve the efficiency of a support process, or even a portion of the core process, but at the same time lower the efficiency of the overall process,…

Are You Ready for the Next Apocalypse?
Mike Figliuolo
In case you missed it, the apocalypse happened a few weeks ago. The end of days. The reckoning. It was a time to take a step back and reflect on all you’ve accomplished or failed to accomplish in your life. Even though the world was not torn asunder by explosions, the reflection on what life means…

Authentic Leadership: His Name Is Angel
Mike Figliuolo
I hate the use of the word just in front of anyone’s title, as in, “He’s just an analyst,” or, “She’s just a cafeteria worker,” or, “I’m just an administrative assistant.” No one is just anything. The word is demeaning and pejorative. We’re all people—we happen to have different responsibilities.…
Are Your Employees Empowered?
John Tschohl

I Never Want to Be [Sic]k
Mike Figliuolo
Reading the news (or even your email) can be distressing to the point of despondency. It can also be fun. It’s especially fun when people say or write silly stuff, and the reporter or editor has to write [sic] after a misspelling or a stupid comment in the original transcript. Sic, usually placed…
The Comfort Continuum
Daniel Marzullo
The “comfort zone” is that cozy space where everything feels familiar and stress-free. It’s where we stick to what we know, using the same old strategies that keep things steady but can also lead to feeling stuck. In this zone, there’s not much motivation to push for new achievements, so progress…
