Negotiation & Problem Solving

(my father shared this with me)

A father left 17 Camels as an Asset to his Three Sons. When the Father passed away, his sons opened up the will. The Will of the Father stated that the Eldest son should get Half of 17 Camels,The Middle Son should be given 1/3rd of 17 Camels, Youngest Son should be given 1/9th of the 17 Camels, As it is not possible to divide 17 into half or 17 by 3 or 17 by 9, the sons started to fight with each other. So, they decided to go to a wise man.

The wise man listened patiently about the Will. The wise man, after giving this thought, brought one camel of his own & added the same to 17. That increased the total to 18 camels. Now, he started reading the deceased father's will. Half of 18 = 9. So he gave 9 camels to the eldest son. 1/3rd of 18 = 6. So he gave 6 camels to the middle son. 1/9th of 18 = 2. So he gave 2 camels to the youngest son. Now add this up: 9 + 6 + 2 = 17 & This leaves 1 camel, which the wise man took back. MORAL: The attitude of negotiation & problem solving is to find the 18th camel i.e. the common ground. Once a person is able to find the common ground, the issue is resolved. It is difficult at times. However, to reach a solution, the first step is to believe that there is a solution. If we think that there is no solution, we won't be able to reach any!

Ingo Mierswa, RapidMiner CEO on “Predaction” and Key Turning Points

3 Simple Principals: Predaction, Collaboration and Simplicity.

"Predaction" represents the fact that, contrary to popular belief, the biggest value of predictive analytics is not in high-level predictions, but rather in performing millions of micro-predictions and acting on them.

"What is the weather predaction for tomorrow?" - "I will bring my umbrella!"

Umbrellas and Rain The value is not in the knowledge that it is going to rain; the true value lies in determining the best option for you when this happens.

"Collaboration" means that we offer teams of people with different backgrounds a white board on which they can express their ideas on data integration, transformation, and modeling and turn them into reality with a single click. - The business analyst is often in the driver's seat. But if business users can contribute the business problem, then data scientists are freed up from standard tasks and can focus on the specialized algorithms where needed, and IT professionals can contribute the data and control access rights.

"Simplicity" means that everybody can create predictions and predactions within just a few minutes. We identified a speed-up of up to a factor of 40-50 times compared to pure scripting approaches for data integration, transformation, modeling, deployment and maintenance.

A crow sat on a tree doing nothing. When a rabbit thought to do the same and sat on the ground. A tiger came and ate the rabbit. Moral of the story: To sit and do nothing... You need to be at the TOP.
