    Artificial Intelligence and Continuous Improvement

    ByJoseph Paris January 31, 2023February 18, 2026

    Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to significantly impact the field of continuous improvement by providing organizations with new tools and techniques to identify and eliminate waste and improve performance.  Some ways that AI can be used in continuous improvement include: It is worth mentioning that AI is not a silver bullet, the success of…

    Don’t Be Arrogant; You Need Your Customers More Than They Need You.

    ByJoseph Paris June 30, 2022February 18, 2026

    Like many consultants, I travel quite a bit and spend a fair bit of time at airports as a result.  And since I live in Germany and my clients are (mostly) in Europe and in the States, my most popular route (once a month on average) is flying United Airlines between Frankfurt (FRA) and Newark…

    Respect the Neural Network of Your Business

    ByJoseph Paris November 23, 2021February 18, 2026

    Earlier this year I shared a tale of woe.  One of my long-term clients had suffered a ransomware attack due mostly to the negligence of the business leadership to be respectful of the need to maintain their information technology infrastructure and be vigilant against external threats from bad actors (along with internal threats from system…

    Practicing Safe Computing

    ByJoseph Paris March 31, 2021February 18, 2026

    I recently landed at Newark Airport and when I turned my mobile phone on, it caught on fire.  Not the kind of fire with flames and sparks shooting out of it.  Rather, one of my clients got infected by ransomware whilst I was in the air – and there was panic in the dozens of…

    “Nomads at Last” – Redux

    ByJoseph Paris February 22, 2021February 18, 2026

    It’s January 2020.  I have just made a pitch to the corporate big-wigs for a way to reduce their real-estate costs (premises including rent and utilities), their corporate travel costs, even their carbon footprint using the latest telephony and collaborative applications.  I postulate that they will even see an increase in productivity while improving their…

    State of Readiness; Andrew E. Chrostowski, Chairman of the Board and CEO at RealWear

    ByXONITEK June 28, 2020September 29, 2025

    About the podcast: I invite Andrew Chrostowski, Chairman of the Board and Acting CEO of RealWear to “State of Readiness”.  We start with discussing what RealWear is all about – and it is one of the coolest systems I have seen for employee-enablement.  RealWear had designed and developed ruggedized head-mounted wearable Android-class tablet computer that…
