We absolutely see usage-based billing as a growing demand.

From my experience in telecom, I have found that overly focusing usage-based billing, eg minutes, data utilization, can actually cost mor than it saves. The cost of managing the billing and the complexity for the customer can ultimately cost much more than uneven utilization. And the six sigma era burned in the concept that variance is what often creates issue. If you cannot predict your spend, you will go to a provider that is.

I tend to focus billing based on customer perception of value and orient pricing around 2 or 3 factors that change tiers. For example, project management might be the number of projects and users.

It also ultimately depends on the type of product/service in question. For certain types it's really N/A and it's very relevant and easy to implement for others.

Does someone have advice on how they have balanced the risk/reward as it relates to introducing Open-Source Software to organization? My org is dipping its toe into the OSS world and the architecture and risk governance teams are looking to get ahead of these requests by coming up with policies and standards for OSS technology being brought into our environment. To clarify, this is not for software development and CI/CD pipelines, SDLC etc. This is for installing solutions that already exist out there (Zabbix, GreyLog, Prometheus etc.) into the organization's environment. We are looking to provide a balance on the obvious risk with the ability to move fast (like everyone else now).

AI and Research in Marketing and Communications: How Are You Ensuring Quality and Truth Over Speed? As AI becomes embedded in our day-to-day marketing operations, from customer insight to content strategy, it’s clear we’re gaining speed and scale. But are we sacrificing veracity and quality of output in the process? One of the biggest challenges I'm seeing is the rise of hallucinated content in AI-generated research.   - How do we ensure AI systems are surfacing trustworthy, contextually accurate, and well-sourced information? - Are we building enough verification layers into our AI-driven content and research workflows? - And how are you educating teams (and execs) to challenge AI outputs, rather than accept them at face value? - What frameworks, tools, or governance models have you adopted to maintain integrity and depth in AI-led research and insight creation? - Have you had success (or struggles) balancing speed vs. substance in AI-powered strategies? Your thoughts, examples, and recommendations would be incredibly valuable in helping others try to navigate this shift responsibly.
