What made Wayne Gretzky the greatest hockey player of all time wasn't his speed on the ice or the uncanny accuracy of his shots, but rather his ability to predict where the puck was going to be an instant before it arrived. In other words, it was Gretzky's brain that made him exceptional. Over the past fifteen years, scientists have found that what distinguishes the greatest musicians, athletes, and performers from the rest of us isn't just their motor skills or athletic abilities—it is the ability to anticipate events before they happen. A great musician knows how notes will sound before they're played, a great CEO can predict how a business decision will turn out before it's made, a great chef knows what a recipe will taste like before it's prepared. In a powerful narrative that takes us from the research in the labs to the implementation of predictive technology inside companies, Vivek Ranadivé and Kevin Maney reveal how our understanding of human mastery is being applied to the way computers "think." In the near future, the authors argue, the most advanced computer systems and the most successful businesses will anticipate the future much like Wayne Gretzky's brain does. As a result, companies will be able to use a new generation of technology to anticipate customer needs before customers even know what they want, and see production snafus before they occur, traffic jams before they materialize, and operational problems before they arise. Forward-thinking companies will be able to predict the future just a fraction ahead of everyone else with a little bit of the right information at the right time—what the authors call the two-second advantage—and it will transform the way businesses are run and offer companies an enormous competitive edge in the marketplace. In the bestselling tradition of Blink, Sway, and How We Decide, The Two-Second Advantage will change our understanding of what makes a company successful.… (mer)

I picked up this book on a whim. At work we are supposed to do some professional development. After watching mind numbing video tutorials, I figured I would go back to books to help me develop professionally, especially since I read a lot any way. Just have to change my reading criteria a bit. So I veered away from historical fiction and (at the moment) reading about a origami Star Wars children's book, I now learn about the 2 second advantage.

The book introduces with Wayne Gretzky, the master of the 2 second advantage in hockey. Even though he's not an elite athlete he make ups for it mentally. He's able to anticipate the development of a hockey game 2 seconds before everyone else. My mind kept going back to Qui-Gon Jinn (hey, I'm reading Star Wars books at the same time) who explained how a Jedi could see a little bit in the future ... he said this while grabbing Jar Jar Binks tongue.

There were moments where the book got my brain really thinking. being published in 2011, it's a little dated but still pretty solid read. ( )

The author discusses the value and opportunities for predictive algorithms. He analyzes predictive modeling from a neuroscience perspective and from a computer science perspective. Examples of human beings that use predictive abilities are discussed and computational algorithm development and applications are considered. I found the concept valuable but I felt the main points were made early in the book. The remaining sections were repetitive. ( )

I espied this book on a library shelf and thought it would be interesting, but treated it with a skeptical eye at the outset. I was surprised to find a thorough and robust discussion on the topic that never went off message or lost focus. The book was also an amalgam of several books I've read that orbit each other around the topic of brain science. It seems there aren't that many degrees of separation in this realm, which I enjoy - and I did enjoy the book. ( )

Fascinating insight into the secret of success - not sure I will ever be fast enough! ( )
