SR Thought Leaders: The Unseen Backbone of Brilliance by Dr. Joe Perez
Think for a moment about the majesty of a towering skyscraper piercing the clouds or the cozy family home nestled in the cozy confines of a peaceful suburb. What is the first thing that comes to mind? Perhaps its beauty, the welcoming warmth of its windows, or the sheer size of its existence. Rarely does our eye, or our initial thought, fall on what lies below – the intricate network of steel, concrete, and engineered dirt that supports it. But without this unseen backbone, the most awesome architectural marvel would be doomed to collapse.
SR Thought Leaders: Use Cases Are Dead! Long Live Use Cases! by Samir Sharma
The problem isn’t that use cases lack value; it’s that most organizations treat them like proof points rather than operating principles. This plays deeply into my belief and writings that the operating model is key here. Many companies chase quick wins, measure short-term ROI, and then move on to the next shiny problem. But that’s not transformation, that’s just experimentation in my opinion.
