6 Proven Startup Business Models That Entrepreneurs Can Learn From
When you are starting out with a new business, the term “startup business model” gets thrown out a lot. This happens especially when you are discussing your startups. While you understand the term “startup business model” a lot better later on, when you are starting out, it’s hard to understand what exactly it is, and which one will work best for you and your company.
Before we understand which startup business model works for you best, we need to understand, just what exactly is a business model.
A business model helps you explain which consumer problem your startup will help solve, why your business solution works better than that of your competitors and how big a profit your company can get out of this business.
It also helps you understand who exactly are your customers and who are the ones who are willing to pay the costs for your services.
Here are 6 types of startup business model:

What is DevOps? The Ultimate Guide
The word DevOps is a combination of the terms development and operations, meant to represent a collaborative or shared approach to the tasks performed by a company's application development and IT operations teams. In its broadest meaning, DevOps is a philosophy that promotes better communication and collaboration between these teams -- and others -- in an organization. In its most narrow interpretation, DevOps describes the adoption of iterative software development, automation and programmable infrastructure deployment and maintenance. The term also covers culture changes, such as building trust and cohesion between developers and systems administrators and aligning technological projects to business requirements. DevOps can change the software delivery chain, services, job roles, IT tools and best practices.
While DevOps is not a technology, DevOps environments generally have common methodologies.
A DevOps approach is one of many techniques used to execute IT projects that meet business needs. DevOps can coexist with Agile software development; IT service management frameworks, such as ITIL; project management directives, such as Lean and Six Sigma; and other strategies.
Some IT professionals believe that the simple combination of Dev and Ops is not enough, and the term DevOps should explicitly include business (BizDevOps), security (DevSecOps) or other areas.

The Data Science Mindset: Six Principles to Build Healthy Data-Driven Organizations
Data Science is a field that combines mathematics, programming, and visualization techniques and applies scientific methods to specific business domains or problems, like predicting future customer behavior, planning air traffic routes, or recognizing speech patterns. But what does it really mean to be a data-driven organization?
In this article, both business and technical leaders will learn methods to assess whether their organization is data-driven and benchmark its data science maturity. Moreover, through real-world and applied use cases, they will learn how to use the Healthy Data Science Organization Framework to nurture a healthy data science mindset within the organization. This framework has been created based on my experience as a data scientist working on end-to-end data science and machine learning solutions with external customers from a wide range of industries including energy, oil and gas, retail, aerospace, healthcare, and professional services. The framework provides a lifecycle to structure the development of your data science projects. The lifecycle outlines the steps, from start to finish, that projects usually follow when they are executed.

Educator Competencies for Personalized, Learner-Centered Environments
This 2020 edition of Educator Competencies for Personalized, Learner-Centered Environments, created in partnership with the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO), is designed to serve as a customizable tool to guide educator development.
The intent is to enable a growing number of teachers to implement and scale up a transformation of their classrooms into places of personalized, student-centered learning. However, the Educator Competencies are aspirational; no single superhuman teacher can perform all the practices and exhibit all the behaviors continually. While individual educators may find the document useful, any significant implementation will need to take place within a broader learning community.

Why Sleep Matters—The Economic Costs of Insufficient Sleep
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the United States has declared insufficient sleep a “public health problem.” Indeed, according to a recent CDC study, more than a third of American adults are not getting enough sleep on a regular basis.
However, insufficient sleep is not exclusively a US problem, and equally concerns other industrialised countries such as the United Kingdom, Japan, Germany, or Canada. According to some evidence, the proportion of people sleeping less than the recommended hours of sleep is rising and associated with lifestyle factors related to a modern 24/7 society, such as psychosocial stress, alcohol consumption, smoking, lack of physical activity and excessive electronic media use, among others.
This is alarming as insufficient sleep has been found to be associated with a range of negative health and social outcomes, including success at school and in the labour market. Over the last few decades, for example, there has been growing evidence suggesting a strong association between short sleep duration and elevated mortality risks.
Given the potential adverse effects of insufficient sleep on health, well-being and productivity, the consequences of sleep-deprivation have far-reaching economic consequences. Hence, in order to raise awareness of the scale of insufficient sleep as a public-health issue, comparative quantitative figures need to be provided for policy- and decision-makers, as well as recommendations and potential solutions that can help tackling the problem.
