F Spencer Chapman’s book observed that the jungle doesn’t favour any side. It’s just the jungle. The environment you operate in doesn’t favour you or your competitors either. It’s just the business environment. Big Data? You got it! The data is all there, all available for you. It’s how you choose to see it, organize […]
Big Data. It has become a household word. Some are excited by it. Some dread it. Some feel that it invades their privacy, as though privacy were not the preserve of the War Councils of nations, or in corporate planning rooms, or in the homes of people. What comes to your mind when you see the […]
Does “BigDzilla” sound familiar? Those of you familiar with Ultraman would also know Godzilla the huge monster. BigDzilla is also a huge monster otherwise known as Big Data. There seems to be much excitement about Big Data these days. Big Data is seen by some as the next money-spinner. It can both be sold and […]
I watched a recording of a webinar that occurred three years ago. The main speaker was Bernard Marr, someone whose posts I read a lot on LinkedIn. The recording is about one-and-a-half hours long. Yes, I watched it all. Twice. My personal summary of it is that we need much more strategic clarity. I would […]
Yesterday, I listened in grim dismay to two people who were obviously engaged in the schooling of young persons talking about how a few of their “better-performing” students had written essays where the introductions had definitely been “memorized”. They seemed to have embraced that poisonous idea that rote learning has become “passe”, although they did […]
The title of this post is of course a pathetic attempt at spoofing a well-known oldie containing the phrase “What’s forever for?” Having become acquainted with several online conversations, mainly from the Hoover Institution and many others, I have often wished that all lectures, sermons and the like be conducted in a similar fashion from […]
This morning, Channel News Asia’s (CNA) “The Big Read: Singapore goes all in with F1 – will it pay off for a desperate tourism sector?” caught my eye. Risk assessments, boldness, and memories of the enjoyable times I had facilitating team building programs for DPDHL’s (Deutsche Post DHL) IT Services Cyberjaya under the auspices of […]
This is an edited transcript. 12 january 2022 Elijah’s Expressions. Today’s topic – Hybrids are better. Or are they? I’m talking of course about working from home, running remote teams and so on and so forth. Right off the bat let me state this, that many others have already observed. Work from home cannot be […]
This is an edited transcript. Hi, Elijah Lim here. Title of this very random blog – HDSM, How Does Size Matter? I was reading a post on Facebook, I think, about people discussing the fact that Singaporeans do not rise to very high positions in MNCs. Multi-National Companies, international companies and the like, because […]
Are you concerned about privacy on Facebook and other social media sites? Are you concerned with privacy online in general? Why, what big commercial secret projects are you handling? What’s the big deal? As we think about that, we might come to a realization that the big deal is US. It’s our inner voice, our […]
I was reading a post about supply chains all over the world needing to beef up their risk management programs in order to lower the risk of sub-standard parts making their way into the manufacturing system. The “Supplier Ethical Data Exchange”, or Sedex, was mentioned as one of the ways of driving ethical business practices […]
Download the pdf. Hi, this is Elijah Lim, and to borrow from what Tweety the yellow bird said, “I tot I taw a puddy tat!” Now, we’re quite familiar with that expression and what does that mean? Well, I’d like to discuss today something about what we see, how we interpret stuff, and what we […]
What do we actually learn? We live in an age where vast treasuries of knowledge are available to almost anyone at the click of a button. No one seems to have any monopoly on any particular body of knowledge anymore. Anyone can learn anything. Just Google or Youtube it, and you’ll have tons of answers. […]
Have you come across people who say things like that? They claim to be “practical” and “hands-on” people who “get things done”. Now, if only those people in charge of the planning would get their act together and produce plans that actually work instead of having to be made to work! This seems to be […]
