Nik interesting post, I agree with Linh, for any profit driven organization whether the choice is made sincerely or through outside pressure they’re taking a stance on the subject in debate. I’m naïve enough to think that the three companies mentioned do their very best to minimize disinformation. Although I’m a proponent of vaccin…[Read more]

I think you propose a great question regarding Tesla but are guilty of “spotlight thinking” on the approach for answering it. Although their sales and revenue fall short compared to Ford and GM their strategy is not designed merely on “Electric Vehicles” nor is it focused on the middle class (value/cost). Tesla is doing something…[Read more]

Michael some great questions to how the “System” will react or evolve when the introduction of self-driving cars is in effect. I feel, there will still be a high demand for insurance, but the premiums will decrease dramatically so overhead will get reduced. In most futuristic movies where cars are autonomous they still have a man…[Read more] -

A Blockchain characterized as a distributed ledger, where individual nodes (P2P) validate and post immutable transactions is a growing technology seen from many as the next big game changer since the […]-
Blockchain is incredibly diverse, and individuals are creating their own systems, while massive industry giants like IBM work on their own blockchain projects. Do you think blockchain will eventually be overrun by the large corporations with their immense resources, or do you see it continuing to be driven by members of the community? For example, if IBM and Visa were to release a blockchain technology as the standard for instant, international transactions, do you think it would be able to dominate the market and drive other blockchains and cryptocurrencies into obscurity?

Great post Walter.
I always viewed blockchain as a tool for businesses to use for transactions to cut costs like the “middle man” which could be banks. I think you make a very interesting point on how blockchain could be used for police officers to preserve evidence. I also believe blockchain is the future and will eventually because like you said, organizations like the Federal Reserve would not have all the authority over the data. Especially after how popular digital currency like Bitcoin has become. With technology becoming a bigger part of business more and more each day, I believe blockchain will change the game for digital transactions.

Your blog and this article intrigued me, many of my friends have been talking about Marie Kondo and her methods for decluttering. I think it’s something I could gain value from and definitely am adding to my to watch list. I especially appreciate the analogy by Isman Tanuri on agile in the business, and the metaphors mentioned p…[Read more] -

I feel artificial intelligence “AI” will remain a controversial topic for discussion. Although big corporations are investing heavily in AI research, I can’t really agree with the value these companies foresee. Unlike the movies where AI is seen as intuitive, adaptive, and revolutionary. AI today is simply algorithms “process or set…[Read more] -

As they mentioned in the analysis of Steve’s presentations, it’s apparent he enjoys his work and is passionate about it, but he’s also extremely intelligent and methodical. He emphasizes specific qualities of each product that’s revealed and constantly engages his audience. It’s hard not to share in the enjoyment and get excited about how innov…[Read more]

Walter Hodge commented on the post, Discussion Question #7: So how did it go?, on the site 6 years, 3 months ago
I’ve learned a lot since starting this position and enjoyed the challenge of taking on the quality role to further grow my skills. I’m certain I’ll stay here a while but my ambition will point me towards positions in people leader roles. Hopefully by the end of this year I’ll have completed my degree and have had opportunities to move up.

Business policies that are specific to the organization can’t be learned in school, typically throughout the interview process and during the first two weeks of onboarding the new hire is exposed to the business policies that shape the culture. For example, HR policies such as hiring, benefits, training, and personal time off. As an employee and n…[Read more]

Walter Hodge commented on the post, Discussion Question #5: Classroom Knowledge…., on the site 6 years, 4 months ago
For me the most useful skill I’ve learned and leveraged from school is the importance of networking. Grades, work ethic, skill, knowledge, and everything else that one works to develop will only take you so far before it is who you know rather than what; the exception would be if you were maybe in the top five percentiles. That’s not to dis…[Read more]

I love to believe I’m an organized person, however there’s always going to be a time or two something takes priority over another and you have to delegate, delay, or dismiss a task. Our office uses Outlook Office365 ProPlus and the calendar syncs to my iPhone which syncs to my apple watch. When there’s a meeting or task assigned I get an alert…[Read more]

It amazes me how much can actually be done in excel, I’ve seen some complex dashboards that pull data from multiple sheets, to create pivot tables, charts, and tables. They serious look like it’ll be a full time job just to manage…It kind of makes me interested in what these new start-ups that promote “drop the spreadsheets” have to offer.

Personally, refining my soft skills and business acumen skills were crucial for success and personal development.

The corporate environment was a big change compared to a small organization. The first thing that was apparent was the hierarchy, looking through the company directory I realized how big GE was simple based on how many levels of management were between my manager and the CEO. What once took a single managers approval now will go through a chain of…[Read more]
