As an industry observer, I've watched the development of artificial
intelligence (AI) with fascination. While the technology itself is developing
at a breakneck pace and offers plenty of opportunity for analysis and
prediction, it is the evolving industry reaction that I find most

AI certainly isn't new. But until very recently it was primarily the purview
of theoretical scientists and science fiction writers. It is only within the

seems to be the case with technologies, anything that generate... (more)

We have been traveling a lot lately. Why? Here at Regalix, we help large
global companies with their customer success and sales enablement
initiatives, which include things like digital marketing, knowledge

Let me share some of the lessons we have learned.Org Charts, Centralization
and Customer Experience ManagementWe have learned that businesses need a
companywide customer experience (CX) leader with a centralized view and
strategy. Too often companies have different people managing different
segments of the customer journey in different ways and they don't communicat... (more)
What if you could closely measure your retail competitor's in-store sales
every day? What if you could be alerted when competitors were increasing or
decreasing production at different factories or ordering more materials?
Would that be valuable? If it were possible, how would it change your
strategies and the way you operated?

In fact, Gartner estimated that the average financial impact of poor data quality on organizations is $9.7 million per year. But bad data is much more than a cost center. By eroding trust in information, analytics and the business decisions based on these, it is a serious impediment to digital transformation.

In the 67 years since Alan Turing proposed his Imitation Game – the infamous ‘Turing test’ for artificial intelligence (AI) – people have been confused over the very purpose of AI itself.
At issue: whether the point of AI is to simulate human behavior so seamlessly that it can fool people into thinking they are actually interacting with a human being, rather than a piece of software.
Such deception was never the point of Turing’s exercise, however. Rather, he realized that there was no way to define true intelligence, and thus no way to test for it. So he came up with the game as a substit...
It takes years – sometimes a lifetime – to perfect certain skills in life: hitting a jump shot off the dribble, nailing that double high C on the trumpet, parallel parking a Ford Expedition. Malcolm Gladwell wrote a book, “Outliers,” discussing the amount of work – 10,000 hours – required to perfect a skill (while the exactness of 10,000 hours has come under debate, it is still a useful point that people need to invest considerable time and effort to master a skill). But once we get comfortable with something that we feel that we have mastered, we become reluctant to change. We are reluctant t...
