At the top of most organizations' priority lists right now is how to keep their workers productive and engaged. Except for in-person businesses and essential workers, the workforce has largely been physically disbanded until the pandemic comes to an end, one way or another.

Planbox receives the highest score in strategy AND current offerings in the latest Forrester Wave report on innovation management platforms.
Farid Mheir's insight:
WHY IT MATTERS: managing the innovation process can be done with post it notes and excel spreadsheets. For large teams, distributed teams or remote work teams, I guess a real tool is in order. This list should get you started. Happy to see a Montreal-based startup in the top position... Planbox ;-)

Farid Mheir's insight:
WHY IT MATTERS: the tech is there, most service work activities are done in front of a computer anyways, so why not embrace remote work as a permanent solution? Not perfect, because we need to see each other from time to time. But some companies have been successful in recent years to have *everyone* work remotely *all the time*. So I guess it can be done. What to do, how to do it? This guide should help.

SOC 2 compliance is an increasingly common framework and applies to many businesses today. Specifically, SOC 2 applies to any service provider that stores customer data in the cloud. It is quite relevant to SaaS businesses, but also to many others who store their customers’ data in this way. SaaS vendors in particular need to be SOC 2 compliant in many instances, especially when they sell to the enterprise. Enterprises are often beholden to a wide variety of security and compliance controls, and being demonstrably SOC 2 compliant as a vendor gives those enterprise customers the peace of mind they need to do business with you.
Farid Mheir's insight:
WHY IT MATTERS: compliance to SOC2 can be a challenge in large organizations as many users will store data in the cloud through SaaS solutions that often are not reported to upper management. This article helps explain what this is and how to deal with it.

Farid Mheir's insight:
WHY IT MATTERS: customer journeys often are nothing more than nice illustrations of customer touchpoints and interactions. While true, this report shows that tools emerge to help understand the journey beyond simple mapping to include elements required to orchestrate and consolidate the data that is generated as part of the journey in different systems.

In this report, TDWI uncovers deeper insights that give users new perspectives on business questions. AI will transform BI and the way people make decisions and act. Rather than start with a hypothesis, data analysts will begin with an AI-driven insight. Instead of querying data to prove or disprove their hypothesis, users will query data to expand or validate a machine-generated insight or recommendation—or they might act on the AI-based insight at face value. But to get to that point, AI-infused BI tools will need to gain people's trust by consistently delivering accurate, relevant, and transparent insights within the context of a business user’s existing workflow.
Farid Mheir's insight:
WHY IT MATTERS: an interesting report that puts artificial intelligence (AI) tools as tools to augment Business Intelligence (BI) and evolve the field beyond analytics into prediction. Also provide some good reference diagrams as this one.

The Marketing technology category is growing in leaps and bounds. Unfortunately, our most concise view into the category was built in 2011. While companies have been added highlighting new entrants, the Lumascape inspired view has been used primarily to emphasize how complicated and fast growing the space is.

Now a new breed of software applications is reshaping sales force management. Their common characteristic: Using digital data exhaust, which is the data generated from the regular activities of a sales force or their customers, to change the behaviour of frontline sales representatives in ways that dramatically improve sales productivity and effectiveness.
Farid Mheir's insight:
WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT Daily activities leave digital traces that can be leveraged to improve processes and deliver value in organizations. We often overlook this data in organizations but we should realize that companies such as Facebook, Google, Apple and others have invested huge amounts of efforts to dig into the data exhaust of our digital and physical world activities in order to extract, infer, predict our tastes and behaviour. If it works for them, it should work for us as well, no?

When it comes to the myriad risks companies face across digital channels — social, mobile, and web — security and risk (S&R) pros track a much smaller portion of their environment than they realize. Without comprehensively and persistently monitoring risk in digital channels, companies remain susceptible to a wide variety of brand, cyber, and physical risk events. Despite the high stakes, many organizations struggle to improve digital risk visibility and mitigate related risks.
Farid Mheir's insight:
Use this link to access the Forrester report for free on solutions to help protect your organization from the digital threats your corporation faces on its brand, cyber presence or physical locations.
WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT First, the paper describes the various risks you may face in a digital world. If you don'T know the difference between OSINT, TECHINT, SIGINT, HUMINT, CHINT then you must read it. Good to know. Second, it lists the various ways in which you can protect yourself. Interesting.

It's easy for leaders to say they're serious about using technology to reinvent their businesses. Yet all too often they focus only on strategy and fail to leverage the tools and apps that could keep them current and spark new ideas for commercial use. And being hands-on with tech provides another key benefit: it puts you in the shoes of customers and employees, forcing you to think about the user experience. So, beyond the AI tool in your smartphone, what other technologies can bring business insight—and help you streamline your workday to boot? Here's what some of the CEOs we work with use on a daily basis.

Farid Mheir's insight:
The company automated insights uses its AI tools to automatically write summary of baseball games (http://bit.ly/2a9g7qR), financial portfolio (http://bit.ly/2a9gG3T), and many other. This blog describes many of these applications.
WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT I wrote about automated insights in the past (http://sco.lt/7FRff7) as it was starting and have been watching ever since. It is important to take notice that AI has been hired by the Associated Press to write summary texts that go straight to the wire without human intervention (http://sco.lt/7FRff7).
This is a trend worth watching as it means AI is slowing replacing human workers with machine intelligence in fields that were previously though impossible - here the redaction of human readable texts and stories. I wrote about data on why no job is safe from automatization and robotization (http://sco.lt/64xeyX).
Anyone putting together a digital strategy must absolutely consider the use of such AI tools in the coming years, and thus have a roadmap with trials starting as soon as NOW.
