When Tech is really helping making the world a better place...


 If you're a Sillicon Valley sitcom fan as I'm, you know that Big Tech has no other ambition than making the world a better place, which is one of the most misused, fake, hypocritical statement that Tech leaders do.

And yet. There are, sometimes, real innovative ideas, potential breakthrough that could save people, improve health...and transform our planet for the better. In this post, I would like to promote the work of some colleagues, working on the NTT's Medical and Health Vision toward the Creation of a Bio-digital Twin.

This attempt to duplicate your body, simulated through computing power, needs to perform researches for acquiring and analyzing biological information and enabling treatment in the body, namely, elemental technologies concerning bio-digital twins.

* Data-driven Medical and Health Support Created Using Bio-digital Twin

* Efforts in Analyzing Risks and Factors Concerning Lifestyle-related Diseases
and Long-term Care

* Behavior-change Support Technology that Brings About Positive Mental Changes

* Technology for Visualizing the Circadian Rhythm: Wearable Core-body-
temperature Sensor

* New Technology for Measurement and Analysis of Biological Sounds and
Electrocardiographic Signals--Toward Early Detection of Heart Disease and
Rehabilitation by Using Personal Heart Modeling

* Bionics Technology for the Future of Medicine and Health

Applying systems design principles to business

A system is a collection of elements that interact to produce an effect that cannot be produced by any subset of the elements. This interesting definition of what is a system guides Haeckel to define the synergy (the glue between the elements): Defining synergy as a result that is "more than the sum of the parts" is closer to the mark. This definition, for example, is what the corporate office of the General Electric Company (GE) achieves by lowering the cost of doing business for its subsidiaries. Because they are part of GE's portfolio, the subsidiaries benefit from the economies of scope that come from sharing the GE logo: GE's AAA investment rating, GE's worldwide telecommunications network, and GE's 'boundaryless' knowledge, to name some of the assets that are shared accross units. The result is that the units are more profitable as part of GE than they would be as separate entities, which means that GE's revenue and profit are more than the s...

2024, nearly there...

Waw...time flies...Already five years working back as a business consultant, advising clients every day (and coping with the traffic jams folks, what a nightmare) - trying to help where and when I can, providing support with concrete and realistic feedback. In a nutshell, this year, I've been busy consulting for two major public entities, both located in Belgium. One where I currently conduct a technical debt reduction strategy (see my previous post on that matter) and another one dealing with the whole delivery department (PMO management, testing and development teams)...and it has been a lot of hard work!! The current complexity in IT architecture, cloud knowledge, generic and broad technical concepts, down to earth KPIs, are nowadays mandatory to run a workshop, to present some convincing arguments (why should the client change, right?)...and all that in a secure (security by design, of course) environment (should use plural here)... And again, this year has been full of great m...
