Using TensorBoard to explain the concept of classifying customer products to a CEO
Designing solutions seem fine, but if you can't sell them to your team or management, they won't go far. More often than not, we think that since we have a good technical background, we'll be recognized. Nothing is more deceiving. In a world where knowledge is everywhere, competition will be at your door everyday. Furthermore, managers will have less and less time to listen to what we have to say.
The architecture of your solution depends on what your buyers (team managers, prospects, or customers) ask you. Your freedom to implement your views depends on how well you present your architecture in a way that fits their needs.
It's 8:30. The CEO has dropped into your office and is touring the company. The CEO is sharp, bright, and has no patience with people who can't express themselves clearly. You lower your head and look in the garbage can to find something that's not there. It doesn't work. The CEO comes straight to you, invites you to a meeting room and asks you to present what you are doing. A few other managers come in to see what's going on and whether you will survive the presentation.
