With the holidays upon us, some of us (OK, specifically me…I have a toddler who just figured out Santa…) are racing around collecting lists and trying to make dreams come true. But what do some of the amazing brains across the Constellation network want to see from Santa? Don’t hack Santa’s inbox…I gathered the list.
(DISCLAIMER: I can neither confirm nor deny the rightful positioning of any of the below individuals on the “Naughty or Nice” list and cannot guarantee Santa can deliver on any of the below requests. Especially Richie's.)

By all measures, 2019 will likely be remembered as a very strange year that capped a very strange decade. The Great Economic Recession that kicked off the ‘10s displaced millions of global workers, leading to a tech boom as AI, ML, and RPA rushed in to fill the knowledge worker vacuum. It was a decade that was great to us in tech, and perhaps not so great to finance, legal, and heavy manufacturing.

I came across a Gartner prediction last week that gave me pause: by 2025, 80% of marketers will abandon personalization efforts. By way of justification, the analyst quoted points to challenges of data collection, integration, and protection.
As headlines go, it’s a clickbait-worthy winner. But insightful commentary on how marketing is evolving?

Basic Research on Computing Fundamentals Delivers Once-in-a-Lifetime Performance Improvements
We've all seen the ad. And we've seen what a great guerrilla take down looks like (thank you Deadpool). But, do we understand what the real mistake was?
In the spirit of full transparency, I'm a SoulCycle devotee...and I'm a Peloton rider. I get the whole vibe of being a Peloton customer. I get why people get hooked on riding a bike to loud music and a strong beat. I get what makes the company great and what I'd love to see them do differently.

Dreamforce 2019: 15 Einstein and Einstein Analytics Announcements Aimed at Democratizing AI
Salesforce Einstein and Einstein Analytics have footholds in sales, but these 15 #DF19 announcements add artificial intelligence use cases across the enterprise.
Nearly half of companies now say that they’re using some form of artificial intelligence, according to McKinsey research that Salesforce shared at Dreamforce 2019, yet seven out of ten companies report they’re seeing little to no value from their AI projects so far.

Digital Identity: easier said than done
Digital progress is famous for its incredible speed. No other technology compares to information technology, where disruption is the norm. If Moore’s law could have applied from the early 1970s to automobiles as well as computers, then it is reckoned that a VW Beetle today could go 300,000 miles per hour, get two million miles per gallon, and would cost four cents to buy outright.

It was a meeting of the minds as always with the Salesforce Dreamforce conference. There are lots of great announcements, and the event takes over all of San Francisco. From a healthcare perspective, the trend towards consumerization leaves patient-centric needs unmet. The abundance of healthcare information, availability of non-traditional solutions, and new models of care shift control from providers to patients. Patients demand healthcare access on their terms, not the providers’ or payors’ terms.
