In that blog, he always started with a review of his predictions from the previous year, in a sort of scorecard of his ESP abilities. Now that we are in March (where did […]
Towards the end of 2018, the second edition of Deloitte’s “State of AI in the Enterprise” was released.

Don’t you just hate it when you cannot find the content you are looking for? You know that you have relevant content, but either you can’t remember where it is, or you know where it is, but there is so much content that it will take ages to look at every file to find what […]
New Year’s predictions are a longstanding tradition, dating at least back to the 16th century French seer Nostradamus. Personally, I started only four years ago, and my predictions focus around search, digital workplaces, and market dynamics involving Microsoft.
