Autonomics and Machine Learning


Unless ITIL standardization is done, Automation becomes extremely difficult

Best way to get automation going is to off-shore - If it can be done at off-shore, it can be automated!

Segregating work in  L1-L2-L3 makes it easier to use both Autonomics and Expert system

Scale is important to realize benefits of autonomics – like Private cloud

Outsourcing to largely Autonomic based service provider will increase by fortune 500 customers

Large service Providers will be the one who will use the Autonomics and Expert system
 
It is easier for machines to understand and accumulate knowledge which is explicit e.g. concept, process, procedure, principles etc. but difficult to understand implicit knowledge like experience, insight or procedural knowledge
Next.... Cognitive Technology and Knowledge Representation (AI).

The Elephant Catchers


Book by Subroto Bagchi

 

The Elephant Catchers is due to make its debut on August 24th 2013, published by Hachette India.

 

The book is arranged in six Parts.

Part I, The need to build comfort with the idea of scale.

Part II is about scaling business by getting large deals, about the need to stay away from certain customer engagements and business models that could prevent growth and the subject of mergers and acquisitions

Part III, the conversation shifts to scaling your intellect; after all, the enterprise is an intellect game. The capacity to get to the next level often depends on a leader’s ability to augment the organizational intellect by tapping into external expertise. Not everyone knows how to do it.

Part IV deals with the idea of scaling reputation. Reputation is a form of capital and growing it right, beyond just good public relations (PR), helps an organization get to the next level.

Part V focus on scaling  people because the modern enterprise is all about people.

Part VI deals with the aspect of scaling adversity. Here it talks about the need to focus on doing ordinary things extraordinarily well when extraordinary events overtake the enterprise.

 

Would love to hear your comments after you had a chance to read it.
