Whither permitting? Vaccine passports

The aim is not to grow into someone other than who you are; the goal is to work through the layers of doubt and fear that you’ve accumulated on this earthwalk to remember who you truly are.

Use any fear surfacing to heal, grow and strengthen yourself. Hard times activate hidden wounds that can be remedied. Making you stronger, wiser and more loving when the pandemic ends.

Remember — times of discomfort are periods of elite growth. We don’t expand so much when everything’s fabulous.

The Bald Man In The Big Mercedes

In this podcast, Daniel Bryant sat down with Zhamak Dehghani, principal consultant, member of technical advisory board, and portfolio director at ThoughtWorks. Topics discussed included: the motivations for becoming a data-driven organization; the challenges of adapting legacy data platforms and ETL jobs; and how to design and build the next generation of data platforms using ideas from domain-driven design and product thinking, and modern platform principles such as self-service workflows.

Why listen to this podcast:

 - Becoming a data-driven organization remains one of the top strategic goals of many organizations. Being able to rapidly run experiments and efficiently analyse the resulting data can provide a competitive advantage.
 - There are several “architecture failure modes” within existing enterprise data platforms. They are centralized and monolithic. The composition of data pipelines are often highly-coupled, meaning that a change to the data format will require a cascade of changes throughout the pipeline. And finally, the ownership of data platforms is often siloed and hyper-specialized.
 - The next generation of enterprise data platform architecture requires a paradigm shift towards ubiquitous data with a distributed data mesh.
Instead of flowing the data from domains into a centrally owned data lake or platform, domains need to host and serve their domain datasets in an easily consumable way.
 - Domain data teams must apply product thinking to the datasets that they provide; considering their data assets as their products, and the rest of the organization's data scientists, ML and data engineers as their customers.
The key to building the data infrastructure as a platform is (a) to not include any domain specific concepts or business logic, keeping it domain agnostic, and (b) make sure the platform hides all the underlying complexity and provides the data infrastructure components in a self-service manner.

Most of my life is spent working with teams in companies – helping grow leaders at all levels. I hear so much talk about "our competitors" and "how hard it is to win in these tough times" and that "the market’s shrinking." 

Thinking about your competition is a waste of time and a loss of minutes that you could be using to innovate and arrive at new forms of excellence. Every minute you spend worrying about and benchmarking your peers is a moment you’ve stolen from innovation, building a better team and growing your own brand. 

Now is a superb time to create even more value for your customers and be of acute use to even more people. Work on your professional knowledge and career skills even more. Listen to audiobooks, podcasts and coaching resources so you leap ahead of your previous leadership self. The marketplace demands [and will reward] your mastery as never before. And you’ll be an absolute standout. Which is what I wish for you.

Why You Shouldn't Focus On Your Competition in 2021
