![]() ![]() ‘What will make your life easier?’Ī good philosophy to follow is to give the customer everything they need and nothing they don’t. The one question I ask is, “What problem are you experiencing right now?” Once the problem-market fit is identified, we can narrow down the technical requirements to achieve a value-add solution, which in turn generates a truly positive customer experience. Sometimes the most impactful insights can come from the simplest of questions. ‘What problem are you experiencing right now?’ Nihinlola Adeyemi, ErrandPay Limited 8. A domain expert in the industry who understands tech is important to bridge the gap. Having someone in this role will help the client relate their needs to the tech team, which will give the team a better understanding of the value they need to deliver for the client. ‘Have you considered bringing in a business analyst or product owner?’Ī good question to ask a non-industry client is whether they have considered hiring a business analyst or a product owner. ![]() Francisco Diazluna, Producer’s National 7. We don’t provide a solution and then discuss the problem it should be the other way around. If we expect non-tech professionals to “speak tech,” we are in essence asking them to provide a technical solution, not define a business problem-it’s the proverbial putting the cart before the horse. ‘Define your problem in business terms.’Īll problems can be communicated in business terms, and that is precisely what we want. Let them walk you through their idea, and then you can (in your head) translate that into a technical system. Simply ask them what they want their systems to do, in their own words. Posing this question can help both parties zero in on shortcomings in both processes and outcomes, making it easier to map those shortcomings to a tech-based solution. I like to ask, “Why have you chosen to explore X tech at this time in particular?” I find this question helps non-tech business leaders articulate both the challenge they’re encountering and the urgency for a “better” solution. ‘Why is now the right time for this solution?’ We can then work with the engineering team to define the solutions they need. I like to reframe their thinking by asking them to clearly define their problem, ideally with clear examples. Many of our less tech-inclined peers will counterintuitively focus on the solution as a way to explain the technical problem they are asking the engineering team to solve. ‘Can you share clear examples of the issue?’ ![]() Hahn's new performances guarantee the fascination with these beautiful, inscrutable pieces will not soon fade.Editor 3. While the music was once considered mainly grist for violin geeks, over the decades Ysaÿe's sonatas have slowly secured a foothold in the repertoire. Ysaÿe closes with a daredevil finish that would make Paganini tremble. A jagged theme emerges, worked out in passages calm as a whisper or turbulent as a gale force cri de coeur. The piece opens with a sober plea, rising upward, braking suddenly, as if delivering a warning. Ysaÿe is credited with ushering in the modern mode of violin playing that emphasized virtuosity (but not empty exhibitionism), bold sounds and free-wheeling imagination.Īll of that is rigorously packed into the Third Sonata, subtitled "Ballade." Just getting to all the notes is a major feat, but Hahn, with a big, burgundy tone and pinpoint accuracy, finds a narrative arc amid the composer's thicket of double stops and broadly colored harmonies. To mark the centenary, Hilary Hahn has trekked to the peak, releasing a new album of all six of Ysaÿe's thorny works, each with a distinct personality, each reaching treacherous and sublime heights. Bach's six Sonatas and Partitas, from 1720 Paganini's 24 Caprices, completed in 1817 and the Six Sonatas by the Belgian master Eugéne Ysaÿe, who was busy composing them exactly 100 years ago. In the classical violin world, there are three great mountains to climb for the solo fiddler: J.S. ![]()
