On November 15, 2018, J. Stephenson commented on Crowdsourcing a Pharma Breakthrough: Lilly’s Open Innovation Drug Discovery Program :

Lilly brings hope for people with conditions that are currently untreated. Scientists with interests that are underfunded will be able to galvanize social support. Researchers who otherwise may not have found each other will be able to collaborate and find solutions. In a time when “big pharma” is a dirty word, this helps show Lilly as a corporation with a heart.

On November 15, 2018, J. Stephenson commented on 3-D printing our way to space? :

When considering the cost of failure in manned space flight, safety must remain the number one concern for NASA. There are ways to tackle testing and cost saving efforts simultaneously. By utilizing non-mission critical components to target for AM applications, NASA can learn what the weakness or “points of failure” are in the unforgiving environments of launch, near Earth orbit, space, and re-entry of the atmosphere. As these components are analyzed, the way forward for further research and applications will become apparent.

On November 15, 2018, J. Stephenson commented on Is Addition the New Subtraction at Lockheed Martin? :

Lockheed Martin’s efforts to lead the way in AM will set them apart as an industry leader so long as they can maintain their UL 3400 certification. In the aerospace industry safety is paramount. Traditional materials have been tested extensively under many different environmental conditions. For AM to hold on to this new ground, Lockheed Martin (and others) will need to demonstrate reliability and safety in every application.

On November 15, 2018, J. Stephenson commented on Block by Block: Harnessing Open Innovation at The LEGO Group :

There are many LEGO-like toys being sold in toy shops, but they don’t sell as well. I think LEGO has tapped into something special with it’s consumer base by pursuing open innovation. A simple toy that inspires creativity almost creates the demand for innovation from its customers (“What else can I build?!”). By allowing for this feedback to go directly to the company, LEGO remains relevant, interesting, and fun!

On November 15, 2018, J. Stephenson commented on Can data buy you value in the capital-intensive oil and gas industry? :

With the amount of data Schlumberger takes in every day, the man-hours alone seem daunting. AI augmentation appears to be an ideal way to create useful streams of information from the data lakes. These algorithms will become more accurate and useful as humans analyze the predictions and trends.

On November 15, 2018, J. Stephenson commented on Myth or Reality: Exploring the Potential for Machine Learning to Improve Care Delivery in the UK’s National Health Service :

Your point of replacing a second radiologist stood out for me. It highlights the need for a “human check” in healthcare that is reinforced with the “ALL” example. As an adoption technique, continuing the pairing model may assist in the confidence boost for physicians as well as improve the accuracy.
