The AI team takes a deep dive into a technical paper which critiques the traditional Technology Readiness Level (TRL) metric for its inability to predict future progress or address the later stages of a system’s life. By applying holistic thinking perspectives, the author argues for a shift from measuring static maturity to evaluating long-term technology availability. This approach introduces the dynamic TRL (dTRL), which utilizes historical data to forecast when a technology will actually be ready for integration. It is … Continue reading →

The AI team takes a deep dive into a presentation by Joseph Kasser (G3ZCZ and VK5WU) which explores the evolving techniques and technologies used to achieve long-distance amateur radio contacts, or DXing, over several decades. The author draws a creative parallel between fishing and radio communication, noting that both require specialized tools, an understanding of the environment, and significant patience. By chronicling personal experiences across various global locations, the slides highlight the transition from manual Morse code and basic wire antennas … Continue reading →

In this analytical deep dive, the AI team explores the multifaceted work of Professor Ahmad Hijazi, Dean of the Business School at PU and head of a dedicated innovation incubator. Hijazi’s research challenges the traditional boundaries of management by examining the “architecture of creative judgment” at the “edge of knowledge”. The AI team investigate his premise that while systems thinking is a vital tool, it can become misleading if applied too rigidly to complex, real-world … Continue reading →

The AI team take a deep dive into a case study by Niels Malotaux, a project coach, on resolving a significant QA backlog caused by an imbalance between developers and testers. Malotaux implemented “Evolutionary Planning,” a methodology emphasizing iterative planning, continuous improvement (Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle), and proactive developer involvement in testing. This approach drastically reduced the backlog, improved customer satisfaction, and boosted sales. The core of the methodology involves breaking down tasks, estimating effort, identifying bottlenecks, … Continue reading →
