Howard Fiderer shared this400 miles. One month. One goal: fight kids’ cancer. 🚴♂️ I’ve committed to ride 400 miles this September in the Great Cycle Challenge to support the Children’s Cancer Research Fund. Every year, more than 15,700 children in the U.S. are diagnosed with cancer. It remains the #1 disease-related killer of children, and too many families live with that painful reality. Stefanie and I are grateful every day for our four healthy children and four healthy grandchildren. This year we also celebrated Lauren’s wedding, which added three wonderful nephews to our family. We’re fortunate — and that’s exactly why I ride: to help give other families the same gift of health. Tomorrow is Kick Cancer’s Butt Day, when donations may be matched (up to the event cap). Your support will directly fund research that develops better treatments and brings us closer to a cure. 👉 Please consider making a contribution. Together, we can give kids facing cancer the brighter futures they deserve. https://lnkd.in/egpyk--x #GreatCycleChallenge #FightKidsCancer #CancerResearch #Leadership #CommunityImpact

Howard Fiderer shared thisI’ve returned to my roots. As a CPO and COO, my role was not to write code. My job was to set the vision, define the architecture, and give clear direction — while letting the engineers do what they do best. This time, though, I didn’t have a team. It was just me and an idea. I started with no-code tools, moved into light coding, and eventually went all in with full-stack development. It had been years since I last touched production code, so I had to relearn how to build — and I leaned heavily on AI to bridge the gap. The experience was equal parts exhilarating and frustrating, and I came away with lessons for anyone exploring what it means to build software in the age of AI. Here’s what I learned. #ArtificialIntelligence #GenerativeAI #SoftwareDevelopment #Leadership #BusinessStrategy #CLevelLeadership #InvestorsGenius or Toddler?

Howard Fiderer shared thisThanks Barbara A. (Karpinska) Hopkins, MS, MBA, FACHE Given the rapid advancement of AI, this is an important and timely topic. While I am a firm believer in the use of generative AI, I do not believe that AI should stand alone. AI should be a tool that helps expand on ideas and explore, along with the user, options and detail. AI is a tool, not a replacement for human thought and creativity. I have always told my sons that college is best when it teaches you how to think and reason, not just train you for a trade. It is these skills that will enable more effective use of AI. So, teach AI skills. Show students how to master its use. But, make sure that there are subjects where AI is not allowed so as to help students develop the creativity and reasoning that is critical to be successful in life.Howard Fiderer shared this📌 AI is Transforming the Classroom – Are We Ready?📌 Having recently graded papers and conducted exams for Population Health course in EMBA in Healthcare Administration program, an article written by Kashmir Hill published in The New York Times this weekend resonated deeply. 🔷 A resurgence of traditional exams: institutions are reintroducing handwritten, in‑person assessments—using the tried-and-true “blue book” method—to curb AI-assisted cheating and restore academic honesty 🔷 Discipline-specific impact: the humanities and liberal arts face more disruption than STEM, largely because essay-based coursework is more easily automated by AI, prompting educators to rethink learning objectives and evaluation methods 🔷Beyond bans → integration: some universities are taking a more nuanced approach—embedding AI literacy into curricula, setting clear usage policies, and treating tools like ChatGPT as potential pedagogical partners 🔷 Reliability concerns: detection software remains imperfect, and misuses can unfairly penalize students, especially non‑native speakers or neurodiverse learners What this means for academic leaders and professionals in EdTech: ✅ Review and refresh assessment strategies – prioritize formats that minimize undue AI assistance ✅ Clarify and communicate AI policies – offer transparent guidelines on ethical ChatGPT usage ✅ Promote AI literacy – teach students not only how to use the tools, but also when and why—or why not ✅ Monitor detection challenges – ensure fairness and adaptability in oversight tools and practices 💬 Let’s discuss — how are your teams navigating the balance between innovation and integrity in this era of AI-powered learning and living? 💬 #innovation #transformation #AI #EMBA #wellness #communication Association of University Programs in Health Administration (AUPHA) Baruch College Zicklin School of Business SGH Warsaw School of Economics Medical University of Warsaw - MUW

Howard Fiderer shared thisLately, there’s been a wave of fun AI-generated action figures on LinkedIn. I joined in, uploading my own photo and asking ChatGPT to create “Howard the Seer,” a mad scientist complete with a telescope, binoculars, and a crystal ball. The result? Funny, yes. Accurate? Debatable. Flattering? Not quite. While I was curious as to how lifelike and humorous the image would be, this exercise highlighted a serious point:The Five AI Mistakes That Will Make You IrrelevantThe Five AI Mistakes That Will Make You Irrelevant

Howard Fiderer shared thisThe speed of business has changed. Strategy needs to catch up. I’ve launched Vispra Advisory Group to help mid-market companies do just that. Executives today are being told to grow faster, invest in AI, expand globally, and oh by the way, don’t scare the board. But here’s the kicker: many are still relying on old-school assumptions about their customers, markets, and competitors. They’re making big bets… while flying blind. Markets are shifting. Tech is evolving. And autopilot? It’s not going to cut it. That’s where Vispra comes in. We work directly with senior leaders to pressure-test plans and prepare for the “what ifs” before they hit the bottom line. Think of it as strategy - with its eyes wide open. Here’s what’s actually working right now: · Scenario-based planning that makes teams actually align before pulling the trigger. · Real-world roadmaps that connect the dots between capital, talent, timing, and risk. · Sharp filters that separate AI signal from shiny-object noise. So if you’re making big decisions with half the picture, or you just want to sleep a little better, check us out at vispraag.com. Smarter strategy starts here. And let’s be honest… it’s about time. #VispraAdvisory #StrategicPlanning #ExecutionMatters #AI #GrowthStrategy #MidMarket #PrivateEquity #Leadership

Howard Fiderer liked thisHoward Fiderer liked thisBoardroom Side Eye # 15: Aligned. The meeting ended. The Board Chair said the word. Everyone nodded. Three people left with the same understanding of the decision. Two left with a slightly different one. Nobody knew which two. Alignment is easy to declare. It’s harder to verify. The real test is whether everyone leaves with the same understanding of the decision, the risk, and what happens next. #BoardroomSideEye is a cartoon series about the very human side of board-management dynamics — and how better clarity can make the experience better for everyone.

Howard Fiderer liked thisHoward Fiderer liked this🌿 Health Ecosystem: Pioneering Women in Science, Building the Future of Care 🌍 Last week I attended an inspiring event celebrating Pioneering Massachusetts Women in Science, hosted by MilliporeSigma, MassBio, MA250, and International Women's Forum of Massachusetts. Massachusetts’ life sciences leadership is about discovery and the ecosystem that makes it possible: academia, healthcare delivery, industry, government, investment; a community working together. It was especially meaningful to hear from Lt. Governor Kim Driscoll, whose remarks underscored Massachusetts’ extraordinary talent base, innovation, and responsibility to keep building pathways for leadership, science, and opportunity, and this extraordinary group of leaders: 🔬 Kendalle Burlin O'Connell, Esq., CEO & President, MassBio, opened the program by framing Massachusetts as a global life sciences engine, powered by collaboration, talent, and sustained investment. 🏥 Dr. Marcela Del Carmen, President, Mass General Hospital and Mass General Physicians Organization, brought the essential healthcare delivery lens, reminding us that innovation must ultimately reach patients, improve access, and advance women’s and reproductive health. 🧬 Dr. Ruth Lehmann, Director, Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research and Professor of Biology, MIT, highlighted the power of fundamental science, curiosity, and discovery as the foundation for breakthroughs we may not yet be able to imagine. 🎓 Dr. Melissa Gilliam, President, Boston University, emphasized interdisciplinary research across medicine, public health, and the humanities, and the importance of preparing the next generation to lead with both scientific rigor and human purpose. 💡 Dr. Karen Madden, Chief Technology Officer, Life Sciences Business, MilliporeSigma, helped connect science, technology, industry, and impact, underscoring the role of innovation platforms, leadership, and partnership in moving ideas from lab to life. Across the discussion, several themes stood out: ✨ Breakthroughs require ecosystems ✨ Access, equity, rare disease, women’s health, aging, AI, and social determinants of health must be part of the innovation conversation ✨ Massachusetts has a unique opportunity, and responsibility, to lead globally while building pathways for future women in STEM A special thank you to Renee Connolly for making this extraordinary gathering possible and for bringing together leaders who are shaping the future of science, healthcare, and society. Events like this remind us that the future of health will be built by the strength of the ecosystem we create together. #HealthEcosystem #WomenInScience #Innovation #MA250 #MassBio #Leadership #Transformation #Health #Tech #AI #HealthTech

Howard Fiderer liked thisHoward Fiderer liked thisToday, I’m incredibly proud to officially introduce something deeply personal to me: Adriava. I founded Adriava after years of navigating chronic illness, complex diagnoses, overwhelming medical information, fragmented care, and the emotional exhaustion that comes with trying to navigate a frustrating healthcare system while simply trying to survive. The reality is that patients, and caregivers, are often expected to make life-changing healthcare decisions without the clarity, support, or confidence they truly need. There's a lot of information patients get but very little understanding. So I decided to build something different. Adriava is a patient-first AI platform for patients navigating chronic illness and complex healthcare decisions, along with the caregivers supporting them. While much of healthcare AI is being built for providers and systems, Adriava is focused on the patients, and it always will be. Our goal is to help patients better understand their health information, prepare smarter questions for appointments, gain clarity in medical conversations, and navigate their healthcare with confidence. This company is built from lived experience, resilience, and the belief that patients, and their care circle, deserve better. The Adriava waitlist is officially open (www.adriava.ai) and I’m excited to finally begin sharing more of what we’re building. Thank you to everyone who has supported this vision already. We’re just getting started. #healthcareinnovation #artificialintelligence #bethechange #patientadvocacy #healthtech #founderlife #resilience #entrepreneur

Howard Fiderer liked thisHoward Fiderer liked thisA boardroom can look aligned while people are still confused. That is one of the more uncomfortable parts of board preparation. Directors do not always ask the clarifying question they need answered. Sometimes it feels too basic. Sometimes they assume someone else will ask. Sometimes the meeting has already moved on. These are smart, experienced people. The issue is that board materials are dense, context carries over from prior meetings, and every director comes in with a different background. The question that feels “basic” to one person may be the question that unlocks the discussion for everyone else. That is one of the reasons we built Aureclar: to give directors a private, secure place to understand the material, fill knowledge gaps, and prepare stronger questions before the meeting. When people walk in with more confidence, the questions get better. And the meeting gets better. The conversations get more productive.

The patent is centered around the integration of linear, linear addressable, and digital platforms. The described systems and methods facilitate the seamless distribution of both addressable and non-addressable advertising assets across a wide range of distribution networks and platforms.
Specifically, the invention enables advertisers to place a single advertising order through a unified media distribution platform, which intelligently allocates and disseminates the advertising assets across multiple channels. These channels include, but are not limited to, internet streaming, websites (e.g., banners, pop-ups, overlays), cable, and satellite. The goal is to streamline the advertising process, ensuring efficient asset distribution across diverse media types and platforms while maintaining consistency in campaign execution.Other inventors -
