Exploring the intersection between people/orgs/tech, Head of Research Accelerator @D3Harvard

The idea of network effects existed in 1905. Theodore Vail knew you could invent the telephone & get all the features right, but if no one was using it, it was useless. This is the cold start problem: when you don’t have any users, the product won’t work. @andrewchen #BAI2022

"Think of AI as a hammer that can solve many (not all) problems. Ask yourself whether the problem you are addressing is the right nail for this type of hammer." —@richardczhang @pearvc #BAI2022

Digital is taking over at @HarvardHBS this week! Follow along here for current trends in AI & some industry connections. #BAI2022

@digHBS This seems to hold up pretty well, but I wish by now there would be more people getting training and tackling tech problems who don't have traditional tech backgrounds, to expand perspectives and diversity on technology teams

[David Homa @DavidHoma]

#expandmyworld is something we should all find time to do, and if @hypervisible is not part of your world, take a look because perspective matters @digHBS

[David Homa @DavidHoma]

It's Thursday, as good a day as any to #expandmyworld, check out for the first time, or renew your interest in, the amazing work of @arieldora @digHBS

[David Homa @DavidHoma]

It's #expandmyworld Thursday, so if you don't already know the super interesting work of @marilynika, check it out.

[David Homa @DavidHoma]

It's Thursday! Time to meet someone new or reconnect. What's the future of news? Some amazing ideas coming from @ehansen02 who is leveraging the modern economy to build better local news at: https://t.co/MrrIpKcGBG

[David Homa @DavidHoma]

It's Thursday, time to meet someone new or reconnect! Do you know the work of @grushkay? Analytics, business, tech interests? Add Yael to your feed for great insights and commentary.

[David Homa @DavidHoma]

@mattbeane @digHBS Always great insight, keep it coming!

[David Homa @DavidHoma]

It's Thursday, time to add to your follow list or revisit @mattbeane to get up to speed on all machines of the intelligent flavor. Just the type of thing @digHBS gets excited about.

[David Homa @DavidHoma]

@csdoctorsister There are many steps from software, to data, to decisions, and it is so important to have people questioning the tech along the way. Even then, we make mistakes and should be able to learn from them, but can't when "the institution will not comment further"

[David Homa @DavidHoma]

As I recall, @csdoctorsister has some 'feelings' about stuff like this: https://t.co/YXrOg4Zhy1 #JustDigitalFuture

[David Homa @DavidHoma]

It's Thursday, so maybe take a minute to meet for the first time (or refresh your feed on) the work of the ever insightful @ChristineOrtiz. Design is a key element of inclusive tech.

[David Homa @DavidHoma]

@SineadOS1 ...never stop questioning the data might apply here? Though I have to admit, one the surface it all seems probable.

[David Homa @DavidHoma]

@theasnow @digHBS @LorennRuster Thanks for the great conversation @theasnow @LorennRuster about building a #JustDigitalFuture

[David Homa @DavidHoma]

The folks at @whittlelab @BBCNews and @Cambridge_Uni might be interested...

[David Homa @DavidHoma]

@SineadOS1, want to count with me the number of women and POC this video seems to indicate are working on the future of air travel? https://t.co/E4O03yTpGW

[David Homa @DavidHoma]

Yup it's Thursday, time to meet (or reconnect with) an org specialist whose work is very relevant for tech leaders: @LuSeegars ; and oh yeah... he just picked up @HarvardHBS Dean's Award and today will be awarded his doctorate, so also say congrats when you check him out @dighbs

[David Homa @DavidHoma]

@LorennRuster @digHBS @QuickResolute @CPI_foundation Thanks Lorenn, let's connect and learn about each other's work.
