Closing the pre-internet black hole
The crusty old man in me feels as if
people believe that if it happened before
the internet, it is old, outdated and not
useful. “Let the information go into
that BI black hole and be lost for good
– no one would benefit from it anyway”
seems to be their unstated mantra. How
do you feel about this potential loss of
what is still useful information? How
possible is it there might be truly good
learning materials that have yet to be
posted online? | |

Mentoring benefits student and teacher
Organizations are complex. Navigating
within a company requires a guide
who knows from experience there are
both written and unwritten policies and
standards that require staff to behave in
a certain manner. While “learning from
experience” may be a valuable method
of gaining maturity, a trusted mentor’s
advice may make it less painful. | |

Favorable predictions for healthcare
As addressed at the 2019 World Economic
Forum in Davos, Switzerland,
we’re in a new era of globalization 4.0
and healthcare is no exception. Challenges
of growth in baby boomers and
loneliness are going to force transformation
driven by technology, consumer
expectations and needs, new regulations
and competition. I offer four hopeful
predictions for healthcare in 2019. | |

Mapping out the worldwide circular economy
Policymakers, technology developers
and business stakeholders around the
world feel an urgency to realize carbonneutral
and resource-efficient industrial
sectors. I experienced this in my conversations
with decision-makers last October
at the World Circular Economy
Forum in Yokohama, Japan. | |
