The Innovation Flywheel and Data Services

The innovation flywheel is a concept associated with Amazon. Jeff Bezos cites it as his methodology behind the development and success of the company. Essentially it involves experimenting with a new idea, testing it on a small scale to see if it works and then if it does scaling the concept up and continuously refining it as the organisation grows. This concept has led to Amazon achieving the accolade of being one of the largest companies in the world and making Jezz Bezos the richest person in the world.

However, the concept is now reaching an age where it is being re-imagined because of a changing business context. The modern commercial enterprise IT environment is now one dominated by the management of data for the development of customer insight. At the operational level the deployment of deeply embedded autonomous systems is becoming the norm in many large organisations and this trend is beginning to trickle down to small and medium sized enterprises as well.

In this new business context, the innovation flywheel is beginning to take on new meaning. It now means that the first step is gaining freedom from legacy based systems which are not capable of integrating into the cloud or creating data fluidity. The second step is transitioning to a managed services model of IT operations and data management. This second step lays the foundation for access to the benefits the modern take on the innovation flywheel can provide. Those benefits are self-sustaining business momentum, higher levels of customer insight and higher levels of operational efficiency and effectiveness.

The third step is to modernise the data warehouse. This is important because the new way of doing data warehouse management is a big upgrade on legacy ways of thinking about this issue. Modern data warehouse operations incorporate on demand computing with an elastic supply of processing power and storage. This means you only pay for the computing resources you actually use instead of having to have an oversupply of computing resources available.

Artificial Intelligence and COVID19

Artificial Intelligence has in some senses become a buzz word. It really represents a combination of skills and abilities across a broad spectrum of areas. Just like human intelligence, artificial intelligence is a combination of voice recognition, visual processing, pattern recognition, sensor technologies and now as the world of robotics reaches new levels of sophistication, the physical movement of robots is beginning to resemble human beings.

In the year 2020, it was very difficult to predict that the world would be turned upside down by a man eating a diseased bat. COVID19 is an unprecedented challenge to our entire way of life. The writer of this article has had a long term interest in the field of artificial intelligence and I was curious to find out if this most remarkable of technologies is contributing to solution to the COVID19 problem. Indeed it is in remarkable ways.

The main way that artificial intelligence seems to be contributed to solutions to COVID19 is by making it much easier to model the operation of the virus and quickly find new drugs that can be used to treat the disease and also possibly a vaccine. The way that artificial intelligence does this is by learning from the troves of data now available about COVID19 how it interacts with certain existing treatments and using the knowledge graph which is generated to then predict the areas of research where the development of new drugs is most likely to be fruitful.

Research is also being conducted by Google Deepmind which is a specialised Artificial Intelligence research unit in Google that developed AlphaGo, the AI that beat the human world champion at the boardgame GO. Deepmind is applying machine learning techniques to predict the protein structures generated by certain genetic profiles that will almost certainly be useful in discovering treatments for COVID19 and other diseases as well.

Artificial intelligence is also being used to monitor social media and weed out obvious misinformation which is being spread about the disease. Nefarious actors sometimes aim to confuse the public with the goal in mind of creating chaos and conflict from disputes which emerge about the origins of the virus and its treatments. Social media firms are employing artificial intelligence in an attempt to make social media a place of greater truth and to increase the reliability and trustworthiness of social media as a source of public information.

All of these applications of the remarkable capabilities of artificial intelligence have only become apparent in the course of the COVID19 pandemic. However, it appears certain that the development of these technologies will have a remarkable impact going forward on the ability of human beings to find a path out of this terrible pandemic.

Technology And Sustainability

At first blush, technology and the environment seem to be strange bedfellows. In the 20th century much technological development occurred without consideration of the environmental impacts of technological development. The internal combustion engine, plastics, nuclear power and nuclear weapons are all good examples of how technology developed without regard for the environmental consequences and although this technological development occurred with great economic benefits to society and raised the living standards of millions of people in the twenty first century a new ethical framework for the development of technology is beginning.

It appears that our best hopes for transitioning the economy to a carbon neutral basis lie in the development of electric vehicles and renewable energy technology. Further advancements in battery technology, grid energy storage systems and even artificially intelligent weather prediction systems which can improve the efficiency of renewable energy sources are all meaningful ways that technologists are contributing to the new infrastructure which will be needed to transition the world to a carbon neutral economy.

Interestingly, some of the tech giants are also some of the most forward thinking companies in relation to sustainability. Apple has already committed to being 100 percent renewable energy powered, as have Google and Facebook. Obviously, Tesla is at the forefront of the development of electric vehicle and renewable energy technology and Amazon has committed to making its network of delivery trucks fully electric. The innovative nature of the tech industry is a powerful tool for achieving changes to the structure of the economy which previously were not possible. Even Uber has begun to try to incentivise drivers to begin using hybrid and electric vehicles due to their sustainability and comparative energy efficiency to internal combustion engine vehicles.

The COVID19 pandemic has also begun to make it clear that there are a number of benefits to working from home using video conferencing and remote working technology which also benefit the environment by reducing the amount of time people spend commuting and sitting in traffic. In our enterprise, we try very hard to ensure that our practices are sustainable. We also aim to collaborate with clients that want to make their IT operations more sustainable and friendly to the environment. We have often found that making IT infrastructure more environmentally friendly also results in cost savings to the users of IT infrastructure.

Australia Launches New Cyber Security Strategy

Australia has launched a new cyber security strategy with an announcement by the Prime Minister, Scott Morrison outlining the broad brush strokes of the strategy. At a national level, cyber security underwrites our economic infrastructure and therefore our prosperity. There are a number of threats to our national security which are constantly evolving in their sophistication, intensity and frequency.

Australia has announced new powers for the investigation of serious cyber crimes and a range of measures to improve the size and quality of Australia’s cyber security workforce. A range of attacks on Australia’s cyber security infrastructure recently have prompted the government to announce this new strategy. New training programs and fundamental upgrades to the security of the country’s cyber security infrastructure are other important elements of the new strategy.

It has to be said that this was sorely needed. The global digital environment is becoming increasingly fraught with threats. The digital economy offers enormous opportunities but those opportunities can only be realized if the infrastructure underneath it is secure, reliable and dependable.

There are a range of government departments that will receive better funding and training for their staff as well as access to the necessary equipment required to produce cyber security outcomes and conduct investigations. The new strategy will also involve upgrades to the capabilities of the defense forces in relation to information warfare and defensive cyber security operations. In the modern geopolitical environment, cyber security is becoming an even greater concern than the traditional methods of achieving national security through physical defensive assets.

Presumably, these updates to the cyber security strategy will also involve increased cooperation with other like minded and friendly nations in order to enhance Australia’s capability in the contemporary digital battle space. If you have any questions about the types of cyber security services that we offer please do not hesitate to contact us. We provide strategy consulting, cyber security training, research and investigation services.
