New Perspectives On The Three Horizons Model
For a long time, the McKinsey Three Horizons model has been a systematic approach to look at the strategy of innovation in larger companies. It laid out three horizons, or time lines, that innovation comes in. Many enterprises have used the model to stay competitive in emerging markets. But we do so with a lower impact today than we used to. Even though incumbents in markets continue to grow quickly. Until we stop.

Generic Machine Learning Recommender Script
Been working more on building really generic and simple machine learning tools. This one is a generic recommendation script built to run as a lambda or gcf. This iteration on my GitHub is built to run locally but it’s straight forward enough to import json, parse, and run it as a microservice. Requirements numpy gensim nltk==3.4.5 textblob==0.15.3 Usage Run locally, the recommender crawls through a column of a csv and matches the recommendations for similar content.
