This is a tricky situation. I personally wouldn’t sign up for a remote surgery at this point or be an early adopter. However, developing this technology is very relevant and important because this technology could be used for other applications. For this surgical application, I would be concerned about the multi-tasking of the person performing…[Read more]

This is a really interesting point about climate change being the disruptor instead of the EV’s. I do agree if climate change wasn’t a key focus of people in many countries, I don’t know that EV’s would be as heavily invested in as they are now. Although, if we are following Christensen’s definition of Disruptive Innovation, EV’s are not quite…[Read more]

Really interesting post Laura. I have been noticing retails store for (example J.Crew) post a lot of advertising post with links to their products. I personally don’t mind these types of post, if anything I think this is a very innovative and creative way to promote there products. I think the post gives the retail store a very easy and organic way to promote their products compared to stock images where you would typically see on amazon or any traditional e-commerce website. Retail stores can also take advantage of social media influencers to links to products as well. I think with social media and the way they are today, It can really disrupt markets where Amazon has been always dominating.

This is interesting to me as someone who has spent time working with social media marketing strategies. I spent a lot of time looking through innovative campaigns in the Cannes Lion (the creative ad industry’s most biggest occasion), and brands have been using social’s secondary features to make it a sales channel even before this, and they saw a material boost in sales. Stories and the Instagram tagging are great features for use as e-commerce.
This development seems like a natural evolution. However, from a consumer perspective, it does pose the question of where Instagram will be moving its ad revenue model. Over-saturation is something advertisers do not want, but the tipping point hasn’t been reached yet.

This is another great example of IT creating value for the business. By implementing their technology for bluetooth, cameras, and the app they are improving the customer experience, reducing the friction of checking out and reducing labor costs. While I haven’t experienced first hand amazon go, I did get to experience something similar in…[Read more]

Laura Blaszczyk commented on the post, Cyber Security Is A Business Risk, Not Just An IT Problem, on the site 5 years, 9 months ago
I have an interest in cyber security and thought this was a good easy article to read and relate to. It really highlights an assumption that cyber security is an IT issue and that companies are starting to shift their perspective to the view that cyber security impacts the business as a whole. I agree with the article that cyber security is a…[Read more]

Laura Blaszczyk commented on the post, Agile & Marie Kondo – Power of a metaphor, on the site 5 years, 9 months ago
I really like this metaphor comparing Agile methodologies and the art of tidying. I have both Marie Kondo’s books and can definitely see the comparisons you make with recognizing workflows at a glance and dumping everything into a pile to get rid of what we don’t need (or doesn’t bring us joy) and to organize what is left. The concepts from Marie…[Read more]

Steve Jobs definitely has strong presentation skills and leaves his audience with a lasting impression of himself and the subject of his presentation. However, new disruptive technology is enchanting and draws attention, which I think Steve uses to his advantage. If I were to change something about this specific presentation, I would not repeat…[Read more]

I think one of the most important things to take away from this course is the awareness of data in all that we do and how powerful it can be if leveraged properly. Close second to that, is the ability to learn to work with tools such as tableau because in business you will need to learn technology at a faster rate than ever before. Technology is…[Read more]

A data driven service I use regularly would be my activity tracker for my apple watch/phone. Some of the columns I would expect to see might be Date, Move Calories, Exercise Minutes, Stand Hours, Steps, Distance, Workout type, Workout duration, workout metric.

I found this article to be interesting because it is about a huge data leak (about 1.4TB) of confidential information about offshore dealings for some major companies and wealthy individuals. One large company mentioned was Apple, Bono (from U2) was mentioned, and many more. Obviously the people utilizing…[Read more] -

A KPI I use regularly is average minutes/per mile while running. I am training for a half marathon so my goal is to have an 11:30 min/mile (yes I’m slow) pace over the entire 13.1 miles. I know that if I am running at this pace from the beginning I cannot slow down at all for water or fatigue. So I am always checking in on my pace early on and…[Read more]

I am guilty of hitting the “ok” button without reading the dialogue box. So far no major consequences have happened, but its only a matter of time. I also have had the issue with leading zeros.

I would say “ask why” is one of the most important principles. Understanding the context behind why the information is presenting itself in the manner it is, is how we are able to make decisions based on the data. One of the main objectives of data analytics and data science for businesses is to transform the data into actionable insights. So…[Read more]
