Energy is vital for a good standard of living, and much of the world's population does not have enough. Affordable and adequate sources of power that do not cause climate change or pollution are crucial; and renewables provide the answer. Wind and solar farms can now provide the cheapest electricity in many parts of the world. Moreover, they could provide all of the world's energy needs. 

When the Falkland Islands were invaded by Argentina in April 1982, Britain’s immediate response was to send a task force. But behind the pomp and bravado of its departure, a sober reality lurked. A mere 20 Sea Harriers operating from two aircraft carriers would take on the might of the Argentine air force, some 200 planes strong. The MOD estimated that within four days and against such formidable air power, half the harriers would likely be lost. To reinforce that meagre force, and in just three weeks, the Navy formed, trained and equipped a brand new squadron from scratch.

In The Real Business of IT, Richard Hunter and George Westerman reveal that the cost mindset stems from IT leaders' inability to communicate about the business value they create - so CIOs get stuck discussing budgets rather than their contributions to the organization. 

No data is completely safe. Cyberattacks on companies and individuals are on the rise and growing not only in number but also in ferocity. And while you may think your company has taken all the precautionary steps to prevent an attack, no individual, company, or country is safe. Cybersecurity can no longer be left exclusively to IT specialists. Improving and increasing data security practices and identifying suspicious activity is everyone's responsibility, from the boardroom to the break room.

It wasn’t surprising when the first abandoned bicycles were found along the dirt roads and farmland just across the border from Tijuana, but before long they were arriving in droves. The bikes went from curiosity, to nuisance, to phenomenon. But until they caught the eye of journalist Kimball Taylor, only a small cadre of human smugglers - coyotes - and migrants could say how or why they’d gotten there. This is the story of 7,000 bikes that made an incredible journey and one young man from Oaxaca who arrived at the border with nothing, built a small empire, and then vanished.

Few subjects are more fundamental to modern life than electrical power. The systems that generate, transport, and distribute electricity are among the most essential contributors to modern industry, development, and everyday living. As energy demand grows and, with it, the electric power industry, more and more non-electrical professionals must make important policy and administrative decisions regarding the systems that power our world.

This is for those who wish to continue the journey we started in part 1. Now we are going to learn how to use the knowledge to streamline product development and manufacturing processes. The approach is simple and repeatable. We know that the most streamlined processes are the ones that comply with the behavioral model that we uncovered in part 1. We simply compare real implementations to the model, look for the gaps, and when we find gaps, we fix them. This is a repeatable approach for all products and everywhere within the product development process.

Factories create massive amounts of data from IoT sensors, MES, SCADA, quality systems, supply chain, maintenance, and others. Yet most organizations can’t turn it into decisions fast enough. The result is reactive firefighting and AI pilots that stall. The Unified Manufacturing Data Architecture (UMDA) is a practical framework built for industry, not adapted from IT. It shows you how to handle real-time streams, integrate legacy systems, enforce security, and scale AI across sites.
