Since the pandemic began in 2020, many companies have moved toward hybrid and remote working arrangements. Yet even seasoned leaders find it challenging to recognize and appreciate their virtual employees fully. Is it any wonder that Gallup research shows worker engagement levels keep shrinking ?

Sell more and keep your customers happy Automate your eCommerce But when it comes to online retail, your options are much different.

An AI Safe Harbor Provision Would Create Guidelines For Development & Safety Without Premature Regulations The conversation around Artificial Intelligence has started to take on a binary quality, rather prematurely, as if we were debating the two sides of a coin rather than a more complex shape. “Let builders build as is” vs “Regulate.” Ironically, both positions are outputs of acknowledging the incredible early power and promise of the tipping point we’ve reached, but neither incorporate th

The global medical imaging market was valued at a touch over $28 billion in 2021 , and is only expected to rise with an increase in demand for early-detection services as well as lifestyle and age-related conditions. Yet at the same time as demand for radiology services is increasing, the number of available radiographers is decreasing.

Venture capital has traditionally been an industry that revolves around relationships. VCs invest in a startup’s idea but their conviction stems from the folks behind it. This largely makes sense because investing in a startup also usually entails entering a years-long relationship. But backing companies based on the allure of the founder hasn’t always worked out.

Despite taking piano lessons and music composition classes for nearly a decade, I remember very little about how to actually play the piano or how to transpose a song. What I do remember—with very little effort—are the notes on the lines and spaces of a treble clef staff. How?
