I see too many data and AI teams still fighting fires AFTER issues surface. We can no longer rely on reactive monitoring of our tech systems, it's just not gonna cut it anymore.

For the longest time, we've focused on simply 'observing' our data and IT systems, but what would it take to truly 'understand' them and act?

There is such a huge opportunity here for proactive observability. If you're new to the term or already exploring it but want to learn more, I got you!

I recently had the pleasure of hosting a podcast with Nic Benders, Chief Technical Strategist at New Relic, to talk about how we shift from basic monitoring to anticipatory observability and stronger understanding of complex systems. Nic comes with vast knowledge in this space, I'll share the episode link in comments.

Which finally brings me to the point of this post. The New Relic Advance conference has been announced and I've just signed up! 🤩

This is the perfect opportunity to learn from experts about the latest tools and approaches for observability that help teams move beyond just reacting.

RSVP here to save your spot (free to attend)! https://lnkd.in/eXZzgRCX

You can expect to learn more on…
✓ Clear revenue impact from observability
✓ Full stack insights across code, infra and AI
✓ Faster recovery with automated root cause analysis
✓ Confident AI scaling with teams focused on innovation

See you there February 25th! #data #dataobservability #artificialintelligence #newrelic #datagovernance

💚 Shout out to my partner New Relic, very much looking forward to the event.

Drumroll…book announcement…yes, I have announced my book coming out next week on the 3rd of March in non-US markets and the 31st in the US.

What I haven’t announced and this excites me…drumroll… my fifth book will be in WHSmith business book chart section.  

So, if you are traveling in an airport and checkout WHSmith and find my book, snap a picture and send it over to me.

Writing five books is not something I as thinking was in my cards, but here we are.

Check out my book in the links at either Amazon or Kogan Page Publishing … and if you see it in the bookstore, send me a pic.

Stay nerdy, my friends, and read.

(Ok, AI put my book on a bookstore shelf in the picture…I need a real pic, so send it on over)

Ok, can we stop with all the jargon and catchy phrases in our strategies?  Look at the below:

“Our mission is to architect a cloud-native, AI-first ecosystem that democratizes deep-learning insights through a holistic, friction-less framework. We aren't just adopting technology; we are catalyzing a cognitive metamorphosis across our entire value chain.”

Please don’t make a strategy that sounds like this.  What about this one?

“We believe in a symbiotic augmentation strategy. By lean-stacking our proprietary algorithms against market-leading disruptors, we create a virtuous cycle of innovation that is both scalable and future-proof.”

Stop it!  Instead, be honest, practical, and have candor.

If your organization has a strategy phrased like this, get it changed. Using buzzy words and catch phrases doesn’t mean you are succeeding.

That’s it with today’s post.  Stop the jargon.  

Stay nerdy, my friends.

I wrote about not using jargon in strategy the other day, but let's now write more with my latest The Chief Nerd Substack.

Stop the AI "Word Salad." 
Have you seen too many 40-page "Data & AI Strategies" that are full of terms like hyper-convergence and synergistic orchestration, but offer zero actual value to the business?

If your team can’t understand the strategy, do you think they will execute it?

Real AI success isn't about sounding sophisticated; you can focus on three "boring" (but profitable) things:

- Effectiveness: Doing the right things.

- Efficiency: Doing things right.

- Productivity: Doing more with less.

In my latest The Chief Nerd Substack, I break down data and AI strategy more.  Build a "No-BS" strategy that bridges the gap between the data experts and the people actually running your business.

Don't just try to sound smart, ok?  Let's be effective.

Check out the latest The Chief Nerd Substack post in the comments.  

Stay nerdy, my friends...and be simple!

Book Recommendation - "Tracking Wonder: Reclaiming a Life of Meaning and Possibility in a World Obsessed with Productivity" by Jeffrey Davis.  I mean, what book has you turn it sideways when reading it?  Which, in my reading this morning, it did.  

Enlightenment - the action of enlightening or the state of being enlightened.  Maybe it is time for another enlightenment.

How is your productivity going?  Using AI to be oh so efficient?  Wait, does efficient mean effective?

We live in a world where WONDER is lost.  I mean, think of it, I am writing this on my laptop with my smartphone next to me, a TV behind me, the convenience of heat in the cold air of winter.  These are things we can take for granted but should. 

I mean, how many of us remember the size of big screen TVs?  Now, we have thin TVs we can hang on the wall.  How many had to run during commercial breaks to not miss part of the episode we were wanting?  Now, we can stream things.

Wonder should be a part of our lives.  What if we created a second enlightenment period.  Maybe not the size and scope of the one in Europe but instead, our own personal enlightenment.  For our careers and lives.

Check out Jeffrey Davis book.  We live in a world that seems to be limiting and/or inhibiting our humanity.  Digital stress, work burnout and the push to do more, AI limiting our critical thinking, social media and polarization, binge watching, doom scrolling.  This seems very negative and these things do have positive things.  How we use them can matter.

Grab Jeffrey's book to help drive tracking wonder.  Use his book to help you discover the kid in you, your curiosity and creativity (2 of my 3 Cs of data literacy). 

Don't get burnt out.  Don't just be productive.  Learn to say no.  Learn to reflect.  Learn to pause and take in wonder.

Stay nerdy, my friends, and be a kid again.
