TEACH TEENS TO FISH AND THEY EAT …

July 31 in Business, Education, Education, Entrepreneurship, startup, Venture capital by Paul Silverman | Comments Off on TEACH TEENS TO FISH AND THEY EAT …

Teach young adults entrepreneurship and they learn how business works; how to plan, develop, launch and manage a new business; how you shape ideas into business opportunities and earn money. No limit on the possibilities.

Entrepreneurship also teaches young adults critical thinking, problem solving, creativity, teamwork, ethics, and social responsibility. Most important, Entrepreneurship gives young adults a competitive edge in the job market no matter what career path they pursue. One study shows one in three US employers seeks entrepreneurial experience in their new hires.

Using Systems and Analytics To Beat Covid- Italy’s Experience

July 17 in Business Intelligence, Business Models, Strategy, Uncategorized by Paul Silverman | Comments Off on Using Systems and Analytics To Beat Covid- Italy’s Experience

Using Systems and Analytics To Beat Covid- Italy’s ExperienceLessons to be learned here. Data and science based decision rules drive the process. Well defined, standardized systems communicated to all. No one ‘makes it up’ as you go along- you stay with the plan and modify as needed. Management discipline, analytics coupled with a cohesive reporting and execution, solid management- that is a winning formula. The numbers and results in Italy speak for themselves.

Is this a surprise? Not to any senior management executive who has managed major programs, launched new ventures or addressed critical business issues and understands management analytics and how they are used. No question we are in tough challenging times, but there are proven ways to win here and the Italy experience provides one blueprint on how it can be done. Let’s get moving,, all working in the same direction, save lives and get back to normal. Too much tine and too many lives lost which could have been avoided.

Music Streaming and Analytics-How Spotify is Impacting the Music Business

December 19 in Business, Entrepreneurship, Predictive Analytics, Product Development, startup, Strategy by Paul Silverman | Comments Off on Music Streaming and Analytics-How Spotify is Impacting the Music Business

Excellent New Yorker article about Spotify and how music sector business models are changing- very clear here that the online music market business models are morphing quickly- check out http://tinyurl.com/lw88lkc

The article reinforces my view that analytics, not content, packaging, or other features will be the primary success driver in most of today’s markets, including the music sector. I am looking at analytics-centric healthcare, financial, and business management ventures and clear to me these ventures will reshape current sectors and create new large scale opportunities just as Spotify is doing in online music

To fully understand the possibilities here, consider the following 3 points noted in the article:

  • Note migration from early stage “collaborative filtering” analytics-using what you did before to define what you want in the future – first generation analytics here which provided a competitive edge.
  • Spotify bought Echo Nest-an analytics company and created “Truffle Pig” – result is an artificial music intelligence platform that helps Spotify dissect in detail the music elements (they now look at 50 parameters for all music products) and further tighten ability to meet users’ needs
  • Most significant, Spotify’s analytics are what I call second generation, seeking to use other external personal/ environmental data to improve their ability to meet users’ needs/improve user satisfaction (and of course not switch to iTunes or Pandora). To get a glimpse into what is meant here, check out the following from the article:

“Now that the Echo Nest is part of Spotify, its team has access to the enormous amount of data generated by Spotify users which show how they consume music. Spotify knows what time of day users listen to certain songs, and in many cases their location, so programmers can infer what they are probably doing—studying, exercising, driving to work. Brian Whitman, an Echo Nest co-founder, told me that programmers also hope to learn more about listeners by factoring in data such as “what the weather is like, what your relationship status is now on Facebook.”

When I look at how analytics is shaping all market sectors, we see explosive growth of what I call second generation analytics- this will spawn many exciting new ventures, and some of these will be in new market sectors that don’t even exist today. Exciting times lie ahead here

Comments on Business Models at “For Entrepreneurs”

December 3 in Business, Business Intelligence, Business Models, Entrepreneurship, intrapreneurship, Predictive Analytics, Product Development, startup, Strategy, Strategy by Paul Silverman | Comments Off on Comments on Business Models at “For Entrepreneurs”

Excellent summary by David Skok on new business models we now see in the entrepreneurial arena. If you are interested in understanding the variety of business models we now see in the market this is a good place to start. I contributed comments on Data Intensity Models or “DIM” which I am looking at for new ventures- very exciting area using analytics. Check out David Skok’s site and my comments at  http://www.forentrepreneurs.com/business-models/    Copy of my comments below:

David
Excellent summary on business models – good work. Glad to
contribute here. I am focusing on a related models in the new venture arena looking at how companies create value based on their customer and ‘community of interest’ data. The Data Intensity Model (“DIM”) goes beyond lead generation models to increase revenue and looks at the value created by understanding customer needs using analytics. Mint.com is the widely quoted example here but other directions are emerging. Sounds far out but the DIM model may shape how you manage your wardrobe- check out https://paulbsilverman.com/2012… Obvious opportunities in finance arena similar to Mint.com but major opportunity I foresee is in healthcare arena. Check out my post/exchange about new business models on Accenture blog https://paulbsilverman.com/2013…. The excellent contribution you are making to educate entrepreneurs is I am sure appreciated by all.

Pushback to My WSJ Comments “Electronic Medical Records: A Huge, Expensive Burden…”

December 2 in Business, Business Intelligence, Business Models, Health care, Healthcare, Predictive Analytics, Strategy, telemedicine by Paul Silverman | Comments Off on Pushback to My WSJ Comments “Electronic Medical Records: A Huge, Expensive Burden…”

Pushback to My WSJ Comments “Electronic Medical Records: A Huge, Expensive Burden…”

In response to WSJ article citing EMR problems, last week I posted comments taking position that a full featured EMR system is a “powerful building block improving our healthcare system. The U.S. lags Australia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway and the U.K-all have EMR adoption rates above 90 percent… ”

As expected, I have received some pushback to my support for today’s EMR and the outlook/vision I see here. Check out the pushback comments and my reply at WSJ   http://tinyurl.com/ksnav8e.

Comments on WSJ Post- “EMRs: A Huge, Expensive Burden”

November 26 in Business, Business Intelligence, Business Models, Entrepreneurship, Health care, Healthcare, Healthcare, International business, Predictive Analytics, telemedicine by Paul Silverman | Comments Off on Comments on WSJ Post- “EMRs: A Huge, Expensive Burden”

Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) provide the foundation to improve healthcare quality and improve cost performance. And standardized EMRs open the door to telehealth and new analytics to improve clinical decision support systems and save lives. But the transition from paper records, as we learned in the e-commerce revolution, will take time and create disruption. I posted comments on a WSJ post to share my view on the benefits we can expect to see. WSJ post and my edited comments at http://tinyurl.com/ksnav8e

Copy of my complete comments as follows:

We need a standardized, full- featured EMR system- this is powerful building block to improve today’s healthcare system. The U.S. lags Australia, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway and the U.K., all of which have EMR adoption rates above 90 percent. No surprise these countries have healthcare systems that lead the U.S. based on all patient outcomes/cost performance metrics. Coupled with the ACA’s new core quality measure reporting (‘eCQM’s), we are taking the right steps. But EMR also enables predictive analytics which I see as the Holy Grail here. What lies ahead- new clinical decision support systems improving outcomes; new tools to minimize adverse drug events; improving patient selection for new drug trials; improving surgical outcomes examining chronic issues; and many more. The Social Progress Index report, created by Harvard Business School’s Professor Michael E. Porter’s team, ranked 132 countries using 50 indicators. In the Health and Wellness category the United States ranks poorly at 70th, behind Mali (69th), and Nepal (68th), but, small consolation, ahead of Kuwait (71st). Keep that in mind the next time you hear a pundit say “…our healthcare system works just fine and we don’t need to change it.” These studies are based on metrics/data analysis, not hype or talking points. There will be some disruption, but a standardized EMR system will benefit both the entire healthcare community and the public.
