This book introduces capacity management, describes cash flow dynamics, and offers ideas about how to manage both Business leaders rely on accounting data such as profit and calculated costs as a guide to whether they are making money. Should they? Accounting was designed to report financial performance not model cash flow. Accruals can disconnect cash flow from the timing and extent to which it occurs. Statements of cash flow do not provide insight into what was bought and how efficiently it was used. Costs and profits are not absolute, they change based on the model you use to calculate them. To manage cash, you must manage what you buy and how effectively you use it. The largest expenditure for most companies is capacity; space, labor, materials, equipment, and technology. Unless you model and manage capacity effectively, you will not achieve the cash flow results you seek. This book introduces capacity management, describes cash flow dynamics, and offers ideas about how to manage both. After reading it, you be able to see, understand, and manage cash flow as never before.

Why do we continue to struggle with data? With all the powerful tools we have in processing power, data tools, and computer programming, we still search for some elusive truth to pervasive problems. AI hallucinates, 'good data' that we started with is suddenly unintelligible, systems that should talk to each other seamlessly continually experience errors and need correction.What we fail to incorporate into our data world is the fact that data is language and has entwined in that language its own code that does not get captured in databases, APIs, LLMs and the systems we use day in and day out. So, how can we crack this data code?By stepping back, we can incorporate the tools that already exist in applied linguistics used to crack the human language code into our approaches in how we tackle the data code challenge. Just because we call it data doesn't mean that it doesn't suffer from bias or the need for context. But by recognizing these linguistic challenges, and infusing that inside the data, we can create data code that can be cracked, data that tells us its biases, context, and purpose, and for who that data is actually useful to, and for whom it is not.If you are interested in data, and why understanding language and jargon can help you crack the data code, this book is for you. If you've had a data challenge and have struggled to find a way to understand it, the practical foundational principles inside can help you frame your problem in a different way. And in doing so, help you crack the data code.
