By: Jared Sleeper

I’ve seen hundreds of startup pitch decks in my time at Matrix, and have found total addressable market (TAM) slides to be among the most frequently mis-executed. I get the sense they are often included as a formality in an attempt to get VCs to check a mental box and continue on hearing about other important things: the product, the team, the progress,
A couple of weeks back my blog called Valuing your Pressure Cooker was about how you need to consistently remind staff of your corporate values while you put them under pressure to perform. If you don’t, staff may start to find unethical ways to get the job done. Reminding people of values is therefore a preventive method. What about a method to detect poor behaviour?

In this article from McKinsey, Controlling machine-learning algorithms and their biases, they make the point that while machine-learning is good to avoid human bias in decision making, the algorithms themselves are not free of bias. Let me say it in another way:
“Garbage in – Garbage out!”
McKinsey make the point that the designers of an algorithm are human and that they will come with their own personal bias. For example, they will choose sources of data and/or choose not to use certain data. One
The hot water in which Uber has been simmering has just reached new thermal heights. Back in October 2016, hackers stole the personal data of 57 million customers and drivers containing their names, email addresses, phone numbers, and in the drivers’ cases, their driver’s license numbers. They finally disclosed the breach this month.
Now, in comparison to the scope and nature of other breaches such as Equifax and Yahoo, the Uber hack may appear to pale in comparison. However, this company represe
On May25, 2018 the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) becomes enforceable. While it was created in the European Union (EU) it applies to the personal information of all individuals within the EU as well as all personal data exported outside of the EU.
Which means if you use the web to sell to individuals in the EU, you are thereby responsible for their submitted personal information. Which means you are covered by the regulation, also if you process similar data you are likewise covered.

The Internet is the global system of interconnected computer networks that use the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to link devices worldwide.

Best in Class performance and risk management is not a random event and (as in team sport), it can not be measured and predicted ratio by ratio or silo by silo.
It requires a holistic index of risk and performance that can be correlated across the whole market and linked to the market Best In Class. In regards to leading indicators and risk alerts, C-level strategy execution holistic indicators precede and are more insightful and actionable than quarterly-product deliveries or "beating quarterly
At the RMIA Conference in Canberra a couple of weeks ago there were several speakers discussing very high-risk environments such as journalism from the front lines of Iraq. One of the keynotes was by Jerry Grayson, a helicopter pilot in the Royal Navy. As well as talk about high-risk environments, he also made a comment at the end of someone else’s presentation that gave me a new insight that is key to understanding how easily poor cultures can be born in organisations. Roughly, he said this:

1. Complexity + Efficiency ≠ Success
2. More Factors + More Interdependency = More Uncertainty
3. Problem + Process ≠ Resilience
4. Adaptability + Trust = Success
In short, the old ways of focusing on efficiency and the introduction of more and more robust mechanisms to manage uncert
