Knowledge graph adoption — sales pitch for getting executive support

Bojan Ciric has some good advice on getting buy-in.

This article is my take to resolve the communication gap where the knowledge graph concept and its potential to generate business outcomes is not properly communicated to the executives who have the decision capacity to give the “go” for knowledge graph enablement. (6 min).

Progressive decentralization: a high-level framework

Decentralization may be a core requirement of web3, but its utility is not limited to web3 or crypto. Nor is decentralization the answer to every business objective. It is also not easy. Jad Esber and Scott Duke Kominers (and of course a16z Crypto) are clearly believers in decentralization, but argue for a balanced and flexible approach on how, where, and when to adopt it. Their high-level framework is useful for broad senior management planning discussions. (9 min).
