Introduction Of Six Sigma for IT & BPO by Vision RavalVision Raval
Six Sigma is a methodology that companies use to reduce defects in processes and improve quality. It involves defining, measuring, analyzing, improving, and controlling processes to achieve a goal of 3.4 defects per million opportunities. Implementing Six Sigma involves establishing leadership commitment, forming a core team, providing training, defining goals and processes, identifying performance gaps, defining improvement projects, and establishing performance measures and incentives. The process flow includes establishing leadership and a core team, training, conducting periodic reviews, defining goals and current performance, identifying gaps, defining improvement projects, and creating an incentive system to drive implementation.
This document provides tips for managing a team from A to Z. Some key tips include asking questions to understand how the team is doing, building the team through cooperation and feedback, setting goals and priorities to provide direction, and celebrating victories to boost morale. An effective team manager should also listen to their team, share goals to align work, and innovate to continuously improve.
1. The document describes how to manage a Team Leader program on MyAIESEC.net. There are three ways for members to join as a Team Leader: choosing to move to the program and find a role, finding an opportunity and applying, or being directly assigned.
2. Team Leaders can create and manage teams on the system. They create teams, approve or reject new teams, edit team details, and create roles within teams.
3. The Manage Team Experiences menu allows roles to be created, edited, and members assigned. Roles can be created and promoted for applications, or members can be directly assigned to roles. Applications are reviewed and members shortlisted for roles.
Designing the future of education in Society 3.0John Moravec
Accelerating technological change is driving dramatic transformations in society and in the workplace that demand greater imagination, creativity and innovation. What does this mean for education and human capital development? How do we fit in as organizations and individuals? More importantly, what do we need to do now? This talk focuses on the emerging qualities of innovation workers in the 21st century, the impact of social technologies and media (crowdsourcing, etc.), and “what’s next” as we build Society 3.0. This talk explores a framework for navigating our rapidly changing society, and plots a pathway for maximizing and leading with our creativity and innovation capital. (These slides were shared at Creative Company Conference, ITSMF Academy and the University of Oxford.)
The document discusses two types of thinkers - strategic thinkers who focus on long term goals, ask "what" and "why" questions, and inspire and motivate others. Operational thinkers focus on planning execution, ask "how" and "when" questions, and solve problems and maintain systems.
The document compares and contrasts managers and leaders. It states that managers are responsible for planning, organizing, and coordinating work, while leaders inspire and motivate others. Managers focus on systems and structure and have a short-term view, whereas leaders focus on people and have a long-term perspective. The document also outlines the different roles of managers and leaders in planning, organizing, leading, and controlling.

This document provides guidance on effective call control strategies for customer service agents. It discusses maintaining a positive attitude, properly greeting customers, projecting confidence, focusing on the customer's issue, avoiding trigger words, and determining resolutions. Specific techniques are outlined, including listening actively, asking probing questions, paraphrasing to confirm understanding, setting expectations, managing difficult customers, and eliminating dead air to keep the customer engaged and the call on track. The overall goal is to lower call handle times, improve customer satisfaction, and ensure the agent, not the customer, leads each call interaction.
Managers are responsible for overseeing organizational resources to achieve goals. The four main functions of management are planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. Planning involves setting goals and strategies, organizing establishes the organizational structure, leading provides vision and motivation, and controlling monitors performance. Managers at different levels have varying responsibilities, from first-line managers overseeing operations to top managers establishing company-wide goals. Globalization and technology are changing management roles and requiring new skills.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024Hiroshi SHIBATA
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
This presentation provides valuable insights into effective cost-saving techniques on AWS. Learn how to optimize your AWS resources by rightsizing, increasing elasticity, picking the right storage class, and choosing the best pricing model. Additionally, discover essential governance mechanisms to ensure continuous cost efficiency. Whether you are new to AWS or an experienced user, this presentation provides clear and practical tips to help you reduce your cloud costs and get the most out of your budget.
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.
