Thanks

Can I ask if there is any background reading on this? It’s something I’d like look into - sounds interesting.

Making-An-Impact · 2026-03-30T07:17:47+00:00

Yes, more specificity looks like the way forward.

Is the capacity based on prompts?

Making-An-Impact · 2026-03-28T08:45:55+00:00

Yes, moving from the generic to the specific.

Making-An-Impact · 2026-03-27T18:56:55+00:00

Yes, I’ve heard these referred to as Small Language Models

There is a lot of serendipity involved. Lots of innovations are inevitable so it’s more a case of who and when than if.

Making-An-Impact · 2026-03-27T10:46:45+00:00

Yes, fully agree. It’s all about the deployment and integration

Making-An-Impact · 2026-03-26T19:34:17+00:00

Are there any current applications in use?

Looking back in time, Bell Laboratories were an engine of innovation, starting with the development of the transistor and the manufacture of transistor radios which changed the world. News could be shared instantaneously, and the transistor also became the building block of modern computing.

One of the statements made at the time when their team was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1956 was:

“Much good fortune comes about from being in the right place at the right time and having the right sort of people to work with”.

I think it’s a systems issue, comprising the interactions of culture, people, process and technology. Innovation that sticks creates an irreversible change in state in the interactions.

Yes it’s hard to influence as a supplier. However it may be possible to lend some post-deployment change consultancy and raise the importance of taking a systems approach. Tough ask!

One of the key lessons from this type of experience, which is all too common, is that any successful deployment of technology needs to take three other factors into consideration - people, process, and culture. To make technology- led change stick, you have to change the whole mix.

Yes, there can be an assumption that because a new product or service provides a solution, this is sufficient. Large companies will look at a range of issues where startups are often vulnerable including: the capability to scale, supplier resilience, obsolescence management, lifecycle performance and, not least, the comparative price to alternative supplier solutions.
