Technology is always been in my blood, I owe that to my Dad. I'm always curious about a new idea or technology that may change the way we live, the way we connect. This blog is about technologies that catch my eye, my attention.
Over time, organizations can get to standard sets of tools, gaining benefits in speed, quaility, and agility as they do so.
Technology can help get something done. This has been a common theme in my 30-year consulting career, whether it be preventing terrorist attacks, mitigating flood risk, making it easier for students to apply for loans, or combatting human trafficking.

Enterprise IT systems are complex with many layers of protocols, technology, and interconnections. But in a simple view you can think about them having three logical components. Systems have a user interface, a database, and processing logic consisting of business rules, validations, processes, workflows, roles, and permissions.
AI allows organizations to decompose the system into smaller atomic parts. Each of these atoms can be put together in new ways—new "molecules" if we continue the analogy.
