Check out my latest article in @HarvardBiz about adaptive organizations and value creation related to #AI
AI transformation doesn’t stall because of tools. It stalls when organizations aren’t designed to adapt. Closing the AI skills gap requires rethinking how work happens — not just adding training. Read more in @HarvardBiz: slalom.ws/4aYbX2D

2/2 Realities of AI implementation that I am helping @Slalom clients with on a daily basis were at the forefront, including data readiness and integration, trust & guardrails, compute considerations, agentic AI in production at scale, standards, adaptive workforce, and robotics.

Are we overlooking one of the biggest drivers of performance? Slalom @whartonknows Initiative studied how chronotype shapes when people do their best work—and what happens when teams align to it: slalom.ws/4tG6aH0

My team at Sage Analysis Group @sageanalysisgrp has an exciting upcoming #ComputerVision / #AI / #ML project opportunity. #Boston and #WashingtonDC area locations preferred. (Only hiring US citizens at this time due to the nature of our work with the US government.)
I am excited to now be the Head of Data Science at Sage Analysis Group @sageanalysisgrp (formerly PA Aerospace & Defense)! We began as an @MITSloan spin-off pioneering advanced modeling, analytics, and technology innovation.

Coronavirus = Carnivorous (anagrams) #covid19

Scientists are still working to understand the "trillion-dollar question" of how the coronavirus can spread through the air. The role of aerosols — smaller droplets — is crucial. Here's what we know now. nyti.ms/2xsproA

The best way to stop the spread of the coronavirus is to stay home. But if you must go out, it's important to keep your distance — and even staying 6 feet away from others may not be enough. This simulation shows why. nyti.ms/34AoC9z

We used augmented reality to show what social distancing guidelines look like in real life: at the grocery store, on a sidewalk, anywhere you might go. Try it yourself, using the AR feature in our iOS app. nyti.ms/2xj39Wx

See the full simulation to show how far respiratory droplets can spread — and how a mask can help. If you haven’t been keeping your distance to fight the coronavirus, it may persuade you. nyti.ms/2xj39Wx

Why 6 feet? Is that really far enough to protect you and others? This visual simulation of a cough shows it can travel farther than you think. nyti.ms/3ab2W54

Please see today's @nytimes article to which I contributed based on my @MIT PhD research on the fluid dynamics of airborne disease transmission. Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze! This 3-D Simulation Shows Why Social Distancing Is So Important nyti.ms/2RB6ozx
