Read any article on the internet today, and you will usually see “summary” at the beginning. I often see this as a quick take, and whether its objective is to have you read the article or just bypass it, it doesn’t inspire. Rather, it taps into AI, and as a result, can be ignorant of…

There is nothing more bothersome than when a vendor tells someone that an LMS is traditional. From there, the term is now placed on the list between scary monsters in your closet and scary monsters under your bed, and a clown watching you while you sleep. When vendors say “traditional,” they often mean an outdated…

There’s an old saying that one award is just like another. Wait, there isn’t? Okay, well, a lot of folks, for whatever reason, seem to think that if one analyst goes this way and another goes that way, then why is that? As if we all follow the same methodology and approach? When you train…

This is the time of the year when the deadlines are getting tighter, and people are wondering if they will have to try that new dish from Tommy, a recent hire who told you secretly that he worked at a place that was shut down due to health concerns. Oh, and he was the cook.…
