Intro: We’re Not Set Up for the Innovative Business Case

Body
Companies grow incrementally when they demand expenditure be justified through business cases, which predict near-term cash inflows resulting from the expenditure with high certainty. When they do, companies eliminate expenditures unsure of their future cash results, which typically include: 1) bad ideas and 2) critical new ways of doing things with hard-to-predict return timelines. To achieve breakout growth, companies need a business case process that allows innovative ideas while still deprioritizing the bad ideas. Most don't.

Lower Compute Costs for AI Model Inference: Decoupled Pipeline Stages

Body
AI inference imposes substantial compute costs, which are not sustainable at certain stages of the AI development process. Several techniques exist to reduce compute requirements and associated costs. Here we detail decoupled pipeline stages.

Innovation Hypothesis Intro: Balkanization of Resources

Body

Companies grow nonlinearly and respond to disruption primarily through innovative efforts.  Innovative efforts require diverse resources--primarily talent and various types of funding.  An innovative effort lacking any one required resource will fail.  When companies divide management of those required resources among various managers, any one manager can stop any particular innovative effort.  And if all innovative efforts receive all but one necessary resource, even if each effort fails to obtain something different, no innovation will take place.
