Plotting ROI, and other measures for gauging performance on Peak Paradox

September 07, 2021

The purpose of this post is to plot where some ( there is way too many to do them all ) different investment measures align on the Peak Paradox model. It is not to explain in detail what all the measures means and their corresponding strength and weaknesses. This is a good article if you want the latter for the pure financial ones. Key ROI , Return on Investment. IRR Internal Rate of Return. RI Residual income. ROE Return on Equity. ROA Return on assets. ROCE Return on Capital Employed. ROT Return on Time. IR Impact return. SV Social Value. AR Asset Returns. PER Portfolio Expected Return. SROI Social return on investment. The observation is that we have not developed with any level of sophistication the same ability to measure or report on anything outside of finance, which we call “hard.” By calling other important aspects of a decision “soft” we have framed them as less important and harder to agree on.

Artificial Unintelligence by @merbroussard explores the really important topic "algorithmic accountability reporting"

Follow Meredith Broussard on twitter @merbroussard https://www.linkedin.com/in/meredithbroussard/ Highly recommended reading , and if interested also pick up Weapons of Math Destruction by Cathy O’Neill How computers mis understand the world. A great and very accessible book on why understanding the inner workings and outer limits of technology help us appreciate that we should never assume that computers will always get it right. It explores the limits of artificial intelligence (AI) and techno-solutionism, furthermore showing how we can easily replicate existing structural inequalities which is not an achievement. --- This beautifully written book by Meredith Broussard argues that our collective enthusiasm for applying computer technology to every aspect of life has resulted in a tremendous amount of poorly designed systems. We are so eager to do everything digitally; hiring, driving, paying bills, even choosing romantic partners, that we have stopped demanding that our

Loyalty is dead in an intention economy!

source : http://www.unboundid.com/blog/2012/02/01/privacy-of-personal-identity-data-its-a-simple-equation/ Andy Land, Vice President of Marketing from unBoundID makes a case in the blog for Identity as a product. I question the position that links trust and knowledge to Loyalty. Loyalty is a about distorting economics. If loyalty is just about increasing margin and contribution from the user (customer) then the only person who benefits is the company.... As we move to the potential that users can define their own terms and provide an intention that others can bid for, where is loyalty. However Identity still exists.

Hostile environments going in the right direction; might be the best place to work?

February 08, 2022

Whilst our universe is full of hostile places, and they are engaging in their own right, I want to unpack the thinking and use naturally occurring hostile environments as an analogy to help unpack complex decision making in hostile to non-hostile work environments. ---- I enjoyed reading Anti-Fragile in 2013; it is the book about things that gain from disorder by Nassim Nicholas Taleb . " Some things benefit from shocks; they thrive and grow when exposed to volatility, randomness , disorder, and stressors and love adventure, risk , and uncertainty . Yet, in spite of the ubiquity of the phenomenon, there is no word for the exact opposite of fragile. Let us call it antifragile. Antifragility is beyond resilience or robustness. The resilient resists shocks and stays the same; the antifragile gets better. " When writing this, I have the same problem looking for a direct opposite of a Hostile Environment, as in an extreme ecosystem (ecology), and whilst I have opted for a
