#Company's Decision Making

[muchymozzarella]

Listening to the podcast with Tumblr's CEO about how Tumblr is running on debt because he believes it's worth keeping up because of how unique and good it is as a blogging platform and honestly it warms the heart

And how Tumblr may have been purchased for 3 million but at one point cost 60 million a year to run and they decided it was worth slowly fixing and honestly it warms the heart

And thinking about how Musk bought Twitter for way above its valuation when in fact he was also getting all of its debts and liabilities since Twitter was, like Tumblr, also running on debt, so he actually owes way more than 44 billion dollars and that's why he's no longer the richest man on earth and that's why he's floundering and losing his mind, and honestly it warms the heart

And about how Tumblr are happily poaching talent from Twitter and investors are looking at Tumblr as a worthwhile investment and the debt is going down in part because of Twitter's fuckup and honestly it warms the heart

#Tumblr #Tumblr CEO #matt mullenweg #jokes aside even if he didn't have any fuzzy feelings about Tumblr he's making actual reasonable and intelligent decisions as a CEO #which is great for any company #to have a reasonable leader who's not an egotistical megalomaniac

How to Use Business Intelligence to Improve Your Company's Decision Making

The term "business intelligence" has become increasingly popular among C-level executives in recent years. Even though business intelligence (BI) is pretty much everywhere and there are a lot of BI tools, it is important for your company to have experienced BI consultants when making strategic decisions.

With the right approach, business intelligence systems can streamline operations and aid decision-makers in improving output, performance, and assessment. While many business intelligence tools advertise real-time and "big data" insights, they often exaggerate the precision and accuracy of the data analytics they provide. This is where you should collaborate with a market research company near you to have the most accurate business intelligence data to make your decision-making process effective. 

Choosing business intelligence systems that analyze large amounts of data with the help of AI and ML to reveal hidden patterns and trends is a simple way to give your company a leg up on the competition.

In the context of a company, "business intelligence" refers to all of the methods, tools, and approaches that are used to analyze data. The term "business intelligence" (BI) covers a wide range of tools and methods, from simple Excel spreadsheets to complex KPI dashboards and even employee satisfaction surveys. Every BI system ultimately aims to do the same thing, which is to extract useful information from data warehouses across an organization.

To put it another way, intelligence is present whenever a logical and methodical approach is used to make choices. Data analytics, on the other hand, are a part of business intelligence that helps people make decisions.

There are already a variety of business intelligence tools in place, regardless of how analog you believe your current business analytics to be. The next step, though, is to figure out how well these BI tools work in terms of making recommendations that really help people make better decisions. To make it more effective, you can contact BI Companies.

In what ways can business intelligence help us make smarter choices?

When it comes to learning, humans are better than computers at understanding information that is shown to them visually. Computers, on the other hand, mostly use numerical data. We can see a change in a graph more easily than we can see, for example, a half-point drop in productivity in raw data. Therefore, the ability to convert raw data into visually appealing charts and graphs is a highly sought-after feature in business intelligence (BI) tools and the decision-making process as a whole. Visualizations of key performance indicators (KPIs) and aggregated performance metrics, as well as much more, are just a few of the many features offered by business intelligence systems. 

Alina gained extensive experience working with many big corporations before founding BI.  Now, she helps stakeholders make business decisions that are clear and effective by automating parts of business analytics that use a lot of resources. 

It is no longer necessary to manually extract, transform, and load raw data. Time-consuming manual queries and untested hypotheses are now unnecessary. BI uses some of the newest tools and technologies that put data analysis in one place so that insights can be gained in real time.

With the help of a business intelligence firm, stakeholders can make objective decisions without the influence of personal bias. BI consultants can point decision-makers to a new course of action by relying on data analytics that view a business objectively through raw data.

Business intelligence eliminates the risk of favoritism and personal relationships influencing business decisions.

Benefits of applying business intelligence to decision-making:

Strategic business decisions rely heavily on a variety of factors, but business intelligence data is among the most crucial for many reasons. Case studies conducted by some of the most successful businesses in the world demonstrate how using the appropriate data from a business intelligence system can drive the decision-making process and result in significant revenue.

This is especially true of cutting-edge BI platforms that leverage augmented analytics, or the incorporation of AI and ML into the BI process.

Professionals trained in business intelligence have a history of achievement in fields like client management. For instance, companies like Colgate use BI and big data systems to monitor consumer response on social media to advertising campaigns. This information is then used to inform future marketing strategies. Business intelligence (BI) consultants make use of automated BI software, and the expert insights they provide assist stakeholders in better targeting consumers.

Bringing automation to fundamental business processes like supply chain management is one more application of BI that is growing in popularity. When work orders are delayed or altered in any way, the effects can often be felt throughout an entire company. It takes time for changes to take effect because information must be relayed across multiple channels and different data systems, which necessitates substantial effort to be planned around. A company's ability to optimize its distribution channels and production output, among other metrics, depends on the quality of the business intelligence data it collects in real time.

In addition, this only scratches the surface of the myriad of ways that business intelligence (BI) tools can leverage data mining or be combined with predictive analytics in order to forecast market trends. If you have the right business intelligence system, you can unlock a data-informed path that will lead to continuous competitive advantages over time. It is not sufficient to simply possess these pieces of information; rather, you need to have experienced business intelligence experts on hand to read, analyze, and provide meaningful inputs in order to ensure that your decision-making process is both efficient and timely.

BI Company is your trusted advisor for strategic decisions:

Whether your goal is to expand into untapped markets, meet your customers' latent wants, or gain an edge over the competition, business intelligence (BI) is there to support you every step of the way. Whenever you need assistance deciding between two options, there will always be someone available to give you the advice you need.

watcher dickriders are so fucking annoying. like it feels like you're being contrarian just for the sake of it

their patrons, who at minimum are already paying $5 and could be paying up to $100 a month, aren't getting grandfathered into the new service. they're already paying them!!! they got a $40 discount; thats already less than the $5 the patrons are paying, so why not just give them access to the service in gratitude for what could be YEARS of support?

fundamentally the issue with people is that by shifting to a mandatory subscription service, which is an inherently predatory and corporate model, they have stepped away from being perceived as artists that rely on fan support to being perceived as a Company. and they will be compared to other companies. the amount of content you get for your money is relatively minimal.

#watcher #i love artists being paid for their work!! #what im not required to do is support a Company making a Bad Business Decision

Vlads secretary recently quit in the middle of Vladco having a minor business expansion into Gotham and now he needs to hire a new one.

The bats are currently investigating one Vladimir Masters after he started to bring his business into Gotham. They’re very interested in the suspicious nature he acquired his wealth. Maybe it’s time to forge some resumes and bust out some old identities, Tim still has that blonde wig after all.

#dp x dc #dp x dc prompt #tim drake #vlad plasmius #Tim would immediately be judging all of Vlads poor business decisions #Vlad when hiring a new PA: I will have to make sure Daniel doesn’t bring up plasmus around them #Vlad: hires new PA. New PA: immediately tells Vlad off for making bad decisions with the company and about not properly scheduling #fights with his nemesis (Phantom) on the calendar. honestly even Lex Luther makes sure his board knows he’s unavailable before gallivanting #after Superman again #Tim who’s had the job for a week and knows too much: I should not be relating to the super villain through failure with clone making #Vlad and Tim: I’m totally normal about cloning this one black haired blue eyed teenager… (Kon and Danny) #I’m referencing Tim because I’m more familiar with his cover identity’s then most of the other bats although Lego Batman could probably #pull off a disguise that would work based off the time he dressed as the mayor of Gotham

If I was Felipe Drugovich, someone who works in a fandom centric industry who has turned down multiple great chances to drive in other areas of motorsport so he could sit and drive a handful of times a year in FPs and watch his abilities slip, I simply wouldn't create a history of liking tweets dissing Lance Stroll. Ya know, the man in the seat I want. The man whose father is a majority owner of the team I want on and who could still discourage me getting that seat even if his son leaves.

Like my dude, I wouldn't get caught doing that for a job that people don't really know about. Where is the professionalism? Where is the anxiety? Where is the sense?

#more people need anxiety #i wouldn't even like a twt being neutral about my company #making bad career decisions #but using all that free time to cosign shit #better pick up #before indycar and formula e stop calling #felipe drugovich #lance stroll

I don't have a lot of confidence in my art, but Roosterteeth and Achievement Hunter was one of the few things back in the day that got me to sit down & draw. I'm still really honored to be one of their guest artist for their 18th anniversary. You weren't always the best Roosterteeth, but thanks for inspiring this shy artist to keep drawing.

#pipart #roosterteeth #achievement hunter #probably my last roosterteeth post #digital art #dooleynotedgaming #despite all the horrible things they did there were still so many good people trying their best to make content to make people smile #i believe you cant judge a company by its people cos what you see on the surface is mostly corporate bullshit #but there are still a ton of artists and creators there that are genuinely kind and genuinely care about their audience and the work they d #take it from me who worked in EA the literally sewer of the gaming industry #there were so many good people there but in the end the decisions are all made by the higher ups and no one can do anything about it #they are still people who lost their jobs in what is current the worst time in the industry #so please be respectful and dont harrass them and if you can support them please do #rwby #camp camp #rvb #rooster teeth

i never participated in anything watcher fandom related. but after seeing yall's response to the streaming platform im glad i never did.

majority of you are so disgustingly awful to these three men it's shameful

#making steven out to be the big bad guy here is ridiculous #yall act lile ryan and shane arent grown men that make their own decisions #steven ryan and shane ALL OWN THE COMPANY TOGETHER #“they shouldve asked us beforehand” yall wouldve said no so whats the point #yall dont even give other shows on watcher a chance because you're obsessed with only shane and ryan #youtube is terrible for creators and now that yall have complained they have to stick with yt in some way forever #there are other issues in the world happening than you not getting free content anymore #watcher #watcher network #ryan bergara #shane medej #steven lim

the thing about watcher is I think buzzfeed unsolved fucked them over. both in terms of numbers but also in terms of output. if you go to buzzfeed unsolved network and sort by popular, you have to scroll past 84 videos before you get below 10mil views. and a lot of those are 5-7 years old, so those are numbers they would've been looking at when deciding to break off from buzzfeed (the first watcher video was posted 4 years ago). they thought they could get big numbers without constantly churning out videos, because that's what they'd gotten with buzzfeed unsolved. and I'm sure they adjusted their projected numbers to account for people not following over to the new channel, but I doubt they predicted their top videos would be in the 8mil views range (which is still a lot, but not what they had pulled in the past).

so they aren't getting old buzzfeed unsolved numbers, but that's okay! look at the try guys - they aren't putting up millions of views every video and they're able to have a company with a decent amount of employees. and this is where the output issue comes in. between their main channel and their various podcasts, try guys is putting out 5 videos a week, with 2 being main channel videos. watcher is putting out 3 with 1 being a main channel video. plenty of people who have been making videos for a while have talked about the youtube grind and the algorithm - there's a reason daily vlogs and content houses got so big. and watcher didn't want to do that grind. from the beginning they've said they want to do seasons of shows. which is feasible! again, this is something try guys does with without a recipe. but the difference is try guys has quick and cheap videos they can put out in between and concurrently with those big shows that help support them. eat the menu is their best example of this because it gets big numbers. watcher doesn't really have filler videos.

to further the try guys comparison, buzzfeed unsolved limited the type of content fans were looking for in a way try guys was never limited because trying new things is a really fucking broad category. try guys was always more about the people than the specific thing they were trying. obviously a lot of fans of watcher like ryan and shane (and to a lesser extent steven, based on how many people are blaming him specifically for this). but I'm sure there were also people only watching because they liked true crime and/or ghost hunting content, which makes it harder to branch out and retain ghost files numbers on their other shows.

overall, they thought they could be buzzfeed with just unsolved, and that's not how youtube works and now it's fucking them over that they got too ambitious too fast

#watcher #apologies for how long and ramble this got i hope it makes any sense #i think watcher should've tried to enter some aort of partnership with try guys mythical etc aka a youtube production company #with a bit more experience that is also more stable #exposing myself as a trypod listener because everyone is (reasonably) comparing watcher to dropout #but i think try guys is a better comparison of where watcher is going wrong #also if you are only criticizing steven please reflect on why only him #i obviously dont know the finances but i would imagine him shane and ryan are getting paid similar amounts #he is not evil just because he decided to spend it on a tesla #and he did not make this decision on his own and force everyone else to go along with it

want to give my two cents on the AI usage in the maestro trailer--

i think seventeen doing a whole concept that is anti-AI is very cool, especially as creatives themselves i think it's good that they're speaking up against it and i hope it gets more ppl talking about the issue. i also understand on a surface level the artistic choice (whether it was made by the members, the mv director, or whoever else), to directly use AI in contrast to real, human-made visuals and music in order to criticize it. i also appreciate that they clearly stated the intention of the use of AI at the beginning of the video

however, although i understand it to an extent, i do not agree with the choice to use AI to critique AI. one of the main ethical concerns with generative AI is that it is trained on other artists' work without their knowledge, consent, or compensation. and even when AI generated images are being used to critique AI, it still does not negate this particular ethical concern

the use of AI to critique also does not negate the fact that this is work that could have been done by an actual artist. i have seen some people argue that it's okay in this context because it's a critique specifically about AI, and it is content that never would have been done by a real artist anyway because it doesn't make sense for the story they're trying to tell. but i disagree. i think you can still tell the exact same story without using AI

and in fact, i would argue that it would make the anti-AI message stronger if they HAD paid an artist to draw/animate the scenes that are supposed to represent AI generated images. wouldn't it just be proof that humans can create images that are just as bad and nonsensical and soulless as AI, but that AI can't replicate the creativity and beauty and basic fucking anatomy that's in human-made art?

it feels very obvious this was not just a way to cut corners and costs like a lot of scummy people are using AI for. ultimately it was a very intentional creative decision, i just personally think it was a very poor one. and even if some ethical considerations were taken into account before this decision, i certainly don't think all of them were. at the very least i feel like the decision undermines the message they want to convey

i would also like to recognize that i myself am not an artist, and i have seen some artists that are totally on board with the use of AI in this specific context, so clearly this is not a topic that is cut and dry. but generative AI is still new, and i think it's important to keep having these conversations

#melia.txt #also want to add that as musicians svt are more directly threatened by AI generated audio than they are by AI generated images #and yet AI generated images is what was used in the video #and i guess the MV director/production company are the ones directly responsible for putting that in there #whether it was their initial idea or not #and they work in a visual medium so perhaps that makes it more 'fair' but idk it just feels like #the commentary is around music. which makes sense. and using human produced music/sound #but then taking advantage of AI images #idk just feels weird #i mean i don't like it either way #like i said in the main post i understand the intention behind the creative decision #and i'm still happy svt are speaking against ai at all i do think overall they're doing a good thing here #i just don't agree with the creative decision they/the production company/whoever made #edit: deleted the part about not boycotting svt over this bc ppl were commenting about boycotting bc of the 🛴 stuff #i meant specifically /I/ am not calling for a boycott because of specifically the ai stuff #was just trying to make a general point that im not making this post bc i want to sabatoge svt or whatever #bc kpop fans love to pull that catd whenever u criticize anything #so yeah just removed that bit bc i dont want ppl getting confused what im talking about #respect ppl boycotting because of scooter/israel stuff but thats not what this post was intended to be about #edit 2: turning off reblogs bc im going to bed and having asomewhat controversial post up is not gonna help me sleep well lol #may or my not turn rb's back on in the morning

I feel like it says a lot about the relationships between the major institutions of the Trust and the Consectorship's place in it that Spahr's role, the role of any Prime Consector, can be summarized as: show pony, attack dog, scapegoat.

#Jonas Spahr #Midst #Midst podcast #Midst things #The Upper Trust doesn't see anyone outside of their number as PEOPLE really. Just tools and agenda items. #That does—as Spahr is learning real quick—include the Prime Consector. He might AS WELL be a literal dog to them. #His entire job is to be pretty and do as told and attack who they point him at and take the blame. #The Company and the Consectorship obviously perpetuates its own harms and is a toxic institution in its own right. #(That is not up for debate and is not what I'm discussing here. I'm talking about the relationships between Trust institutions.) #The thing about the Prime Consector is that despite their rank they're strictly managed and have no real agency or power over anything. #Prime Consector is an interesting office in that its role is to distance the Upper Trust and the notaryship from their decisions. #The Consectorship does not truly make decisions. They carry out those of the Upper Trust and the Central Vault. #Do the dirty work and take the blame—to keep everyone else's hands clean. #To be the scapegoat for everyone else's mistakes and lack of foresight or inability to solve a problem. #(obligatory: I don't have a subscription so keep that in mind before saying stuff to me—I keep getting vague comments about upcoming eps)

not to be durgetash brainpoisoned but Fel saying "you are wrong to consider another your equal" in the scene in act 2 when durge is going to kill their LI.... i wonder if thats the first time he's said that to them.

#as an aside #he also says 'it is my duty to ensure you are making the right decisions' #which completely plays into my interpretation that Fel is sort of meant to be keeping durge in line #bc their brain was turned to soup to give them a reset/another chance #but thats just me #speaking recreationally #durgetash #bg3 #durge #secleritas fel #bg3 spoilers #also the 'your betters are not a fan of the company you've been keeping. an example must be set.' #like oh okay so definitely not the first time. #mine

the watcher thing is real unfortunate… i genuinely think they must have had a good reason to decide youtube just isn’t working for them financially but girl you simply are not big enough to pull off a subscription model….. you’re in danger girl……..

#d #it’s madness honestly. i predict this will flop and they’ll come back to youtube #with like a bunch of really tragic layoffs that are made worse for the subscription model flopping #or it will flop and they’ll break up the company #what do i know though. maybe some people like the gold flakes food show enough to spring for a subscription #anyway a lot of people are being so so mean about it and it makes me feel bad but . it IS a bad decision

do you think that sometimes dean goes into the garage of the bunker and he just goes and sits in the impala? the engine is off, he just tucks himself into the front seat, sometimes with a book to read or sometimes with a sketchbook or even his journal. he just sits there quietly and reads or draws and writes about their latest case. it’s about the comfort of the impala. it’s about his car being his home, his safe space where he feels the most safe and secure and the place he can be himself

#dean winchester #spn #supernatural #sometimes cas finds him there and he taps lightly on the window #cas waits for dean to make the decision if he wants company or not #and dean always nods his head. gestures for cas to join him. #cas slides into the passenger seat quietly. no words spoken. but he gives dean a small smile and dean smiles back. #it’s enough to have cas sitting next to him. breathing the same air. they’re close together and that grounds dean too. #destiel #deancas

Just looked on the older books for refs of Thea and

Boi Curse of the Cheese Pyramid is insane

It literally starts with G heading to work on time at 9, but William comes in like "BOI YOU'RE SPENDING TOO MUCH MONEY ON THE GAZETTE YOU HAVE TO CUT DOWN THE BUDGET" (Imagine this screamed directly into Geronimo's ear)

Obviously William's definition of "cut down the budget" is this

TW: Spoilers for Curse of the Cheese Pyramid, William behavior, do not click on if you don't want a spike in blood pressure

If you choose to turn away now, the following fume was just an intermission for finding this picture lmao

He pawned over everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) in Geronimo's office, from his desk to his armchair to his carpet to his book collection to his art collection, and replaced it all with a single plastic chair and desk ("All you need in an office is a desk and chair!")

He fired ALL THE STAFF and decided that only family members will be working for the paper (because family members don't need to be paid as much probably (if at all) when working for a family business-- they all share their finances with each other, anyway maybe (it's not clear what their salaries are gonna be (wanna bet G is paid minimum wage while Thea is paid 50% of the Gazette's monthly expenses after this clean sweep))). The only person spared from the firing spree was Shif T. Paws, the Gazette's sales manager, who apparently offered to work there for free.

He delegates all the work of the Gazette to four people-- G does all the office work (taking calls, building maintenance, writing, editing, printing, clientele stuff), Thea does all the interviews and field work stuff, Trap does all the cooking, and Benjamin is "William's personal assistant". Lord knows what that last position means for little Benji. (Okay reading ahead Benjamin seems fine, but he does say that William is "a bit pushy".)

He sends G out on a work holiday thing and he overworks the crap out of everyone, to the point where even Thea is sick of William's senile old-fashioned ass, and it seems that the Gazette was also going downhill because of this mouse furry ripoff Daniel Dancer. (To give a preview of what he did in the working perspective, he basically had Trap work seven days a week)

He was planning to have staff give use old newspaper instead of toilet paper (T&B expenses), make a 30-second time mechanism for the restrooms (to maximize manpower efficiency and possible humiliation for anyone going number 2), and was considering cutting all electricity to the building and just have staff work on typewriters "just like the old days".

This man's senile ass--

#geronimo stilton #rant #give up the toilet paper and use old newspapers instead #where are they in the filipino provinces lmao #william would fit right into an episode of extreme cheapskates #absolute nutjob #how is he not actually senile yet #imagine going so daniel dancer that even your favorite niece who you openly spoil can't stand your guts #shif t paws is mvp #man's playing 4d chess here #and all for his boss who he seems to be on pretty good terms with #i asked my parents a bit about william's relationship with the gazette (retired but still making absolute decisions for the company) #and uh turns out one of the family businesses on my family's chinese side works a similar way apparently #my great-uncle is retired technically and his son is his successor #but my great-uncle is still making decisions for the company that his son has to comply with #i guess it's a cultural thing? doesn't mean i like the way it sounds #i heard my uncle's starting to act more independently tho i think so good for him if he's actually doing that
