Let's drive value with each mile we venture in our careers.

Princeton University just announced its first assistant VP for "diversity, equity and inclusion". I recommend starting by identifying the metrics that will be used to measure these goals. Most complex problems that I work on have well defined metrics (but there are multiple, competing metrics). This is a problem where I suspect that metrics will be hard to define. Then, list the decisions that have an impact on these metrics. Decisions represent actions that can be taken. Without clear performance metrics and decisions, there is a risk that the new position is just window dressing. Without well defined decisions (actions) that will impact the metrics, then the position is reduced to hoping. With answers to these two questions (plus a few more, but these are the hard ones), then we can formulate this job as a sequential decision problem.

I had a great afternoon, soaking in the wisdom shared by 3 phenomenal panelists discussing the art of crafting award-winning marketing campaigns! ⭐️ Here are a few takeaways that struck a chord with me: 🔥 Embrace the Unknown: It’s important to take calculated risks.
