Fascinated by the intersection of data, technology and organization and how to simplify, plus bbq and F1. all opinions are my own.

@FrontierCorp how can I report an outage? The app says everything is ok, I’ve rebooted my router and tried to call. Still no internet for me or my neighbors

Thirdly making contingency bookings when travel can change hour by hour has meant about 6 days of my stay, now appear ineligible for rewards. Note sometimes this is important, especially in foreign travel. #marriotFails #FAIL two plus weeks of follow up and no rewards

@Marriott @MarriottBonvoy #hotelFails. Spending time dealing with your limitations should not be my problem. Firstly after 3 stays in India recently only one was credited to my account.

Secondly any dispute requires my bill to be uploaded, yet your system only allows a single image to be uploaded. Request for more information then requires me to attach files, not embed them as I initially did and most email clients allow today

Three excellent books read in March. The Elon Musk and Steve Jobs biographies and “If it’s smart it is vulnerable”

All really enjoyable reads

@swardley Must try this. I tend to use a map to understand the key points in a book. It will be interesting to see how it compares similar books. Ie No Rules Rules about Netflix and built to fail about Blockbuster and compare the 2

How do CDOs measure their success? Is the use of data and how many data products created part of that measurement. Really interested in what people are using. Do other execs agree #cdo #cio #data #ceo

Just finished listening to this. Space and rockets are cool, but the human and organizational detail in this is excellent, thoroughly recommend. ⁦⁦@SciGuySpace⁩ https://t.co/XDNngKyO5X

Symmetric Equilibrium is my phrase of the day. Two words that I think describe most company’s data strategy. #cdo #cio #ai. Not a bad thing, but not a great thing either

[David Millman @dmillman]

A good start to the day, when the morning walk with @WinstonTheDogC1 and my latest @audible_com book about the F-35 project finish at the same time

[David Millman @dmillman]

Happy to part of this CDO panel. https://t.co/wpJomfKuCm

This should not be allowed

If you want data to have an economic impact on your business, you have to describe the requirements in economic terms. Too many projects are broken by their requirements.

You cannot change the rules half way through

[David Millman @dmillman]

@gwenshap Depends on the problem/question. If this was a prod issue then 1 but quickly work on a plan to clarify

If this more in development the second

Either way quick iterations to learn what is important. Most importantly whatever decision make sure the customer knows why

Watching Chris Rock really like the phrase selective outrage #SelectiveOutrage

This is a great book, but probably better in print that on audible

[David Millman @dmillman]
