The document discusses the 8 habits of highly effective people based on Stephen Covey's work. The 8 habits are: 1) be proactive, 2) begin with the end in mind, 3) put first things first, 4) think win-win, 5) seek first to understand then to be understood, 6) synergize, 7) sharpen the saw, and 8) find your voice and help others find theirs. Developing good character through principles like integrity and honesty is more important than personality alone. Highly effective people take initiative, focus on goals, set priorities, ensure all parties benefit, understand other perspectives, cooperate, recharge themselves, and use their unique talents to help others.
8 habits of highly effective people by Stephen R. CoveyHaseebEjaz
Our character is a composite of our habits. Changing habits is hard, but can be done by tremendous commitment.
A (good) habit can be defined as the intersection of knowledge, skill and desire. Change is a cycle of being and seeing (visualization).
Our objective is to move progressively on a maturity continuum from dependence to independence to interdependence. Although independence is the current paradigm of our society, we can accomplish much more by cooperation and specialization. However, we must achieve independence before we can choose interdependence.
Habits 1, 2 and 3 (Be Proactive, Begin with The End in Mind, Put First Things First) deal with self mastery. They are the "private victories" required for character growth. Private victories precede public victories.
Habits 4, 5 and 6 are the more personality-oriented "public victories" of Teamwork, Cooperation and Communication.
Habit 7 is the habit of Renewal, creating an upward spiral of growth.
Effectiveness lies in balancing our Production (P) with building Production Capacity (PC).
Organizationally, the PC principle is to always treat your employees as you want them to treat your best customers. We must understand that the best contributions of our employees - their hearts and minds - are as volunteers, because they want to.
This process of growth will be evolutionary, but the net effect will be revolutionary.

This is a presentation on Self Motivation. Self Motivation is one of most important intra-personal skills. When we are low, instead of trying to derive inspiration from others we can utilize the inner strength to motivate ourselves.
Want to know what it takes to be a strong leader? Start by effectively leading yourself. Learn the importance of self-leadership and the power you have within yourself. Learn how leading yourself builds confidence and how your new found confidence makes others notice you and how effective you are in your own life. Being an effective leader to yourself begins to prepare you in leading others. After all, if you can’t lead yourself, how can you lead others?

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

03 the eight habits of highly effective people
1. The Eight habits of highly effective people
Based on the work of Stephen Covey:
The seven habits of highly effective people
The 8th habit
2.
3. The presentation at a glance
Important to be effective; effectiveness can be learnt
Focus on developing character, not personality.
Habits shape us, so adopt productive habits.
Build trust in relationships.
Balance the different roles.
Allot time to attend fairly to the various responsibilities
and relationships.
Think positive and show empathy
Rejuvenate yourself
4. The Eight Habits of highly effective
people.
1. They take initiative. (“Be Proactive”)
2. They focus on goals. (“Begin with the End in Mind”)
3. They set priorities. (“Put First Things First”)
4. They only win when others win. (“Think Win/Win”)
5. They communicate. (“Seek First to Understand, Then to
Be Understood”)
6. They cooperate. (“Synergize”)
7. They reflect on and repair their deficiencies. (“Sharpen
the Saw”)
8. They find their voice and help others find theirs.
5. Character vs Personality
Much of the business success literature of recent
decades has focused on developing a good personality.
Developing a sound character is more important.
Character lays the basic foundation.
Personality can emerge naturally when character is
rooted in and formed by principles.
Forceful display of a personality that is inconsistent with
our character is like wearing a mask. It is deceptive,
manipulative and ultimately destructive.
6. Basic Principles
Certain basic principles and values make people more
effective.
They are fairness, equity, integrity, honesty, human
dignity and worth, excellence, a spirit of service,
patience, perseverance, caring, courage,
encouragement and positive thinking.
The person whose character grows from these classic
principles is a true leader who can inspire and help
others.
Character is habit.
7. Habit 1: “Be Proactive”
Highly effective people take the initiative. They are
proactive.
They do not impose limits on themselves that prevent
them from acting.
They recognize that they have the freedom to
determine the kind of character they will have.
They may not be able to control their circumstances,
but they can decide how to make the best use of
those circumstances.
8. Habit 2: “Begin with the End in Mind”
Effectiveness is not just a matter of reaching a goal
but rather of achieving the right goal.
Imagine ourselves sitting in the back of the room at
our funeral. Imagine what people could honestly say
about us based on the way we are now.
Do we like what we hear? Is that how we want to be
remembered?
If not, we must change it. We must take hold of our
life.
We can begin by drafting a personal mission
statement that outlines our goals and describes the
kind of person we want to be.
9. Habit 3: “Put First Things First”
We should never let our most important priorities fall
victim to the least important.
We spend our time reacting to urgent circumstances and
emergencies, and never invest the necessary effort to
develop the ability to prevent emergencies in the first
place.
We confuse the important with the urgent. The urgent is
easy to see. The important is harder to discern.
We must spend more time on planning, avoiding pitfalls,
developing relationships, cultivating opportunities and
recharging ourselves.
We must focus on “important but not urgent” activities.
10. Habit 4: “Think Win/Win”
Highly effective people strive for win/win transactions.
They try to ensure that all the parties are better off in
the end.
They know that any other kind of transaction is
destructive, because it produces losers and, therefore,
enemies and bad feelings, such as animosity, defeat
and hostility.
A Win-Win mindset can help us multiply our allies.
11. Habit 5: “Seek First to Understand, Then
to Be Understood”
To develop win/win relationships, we must find out
what the other parties want, and what winning means
to them.
We must always try to understand what the other
people want and need before we begin to outline our
own objectives.
We must not object, argue or oppose what we hear.
We must listen carefully, and think about it.
We must try to put ourselves in the other party’s
shoes.
12. Habit 6: “Synergize”
Effective synergy depends on communication.
We often don’t listen, reflect and respond but, instead,
we hear and react reflexively.
Our reactions may be defensive, authoritarian or
passive.
We may oppose or go along — but we do not actively
cooperate.
Cooperation and communication are the two legs of a
synergistic relationship.
13. Habit 7: “Sharpen the Saw”
We must take care of our bodies with a program of
exercise that combines endurance, flexibility and
strength.
We must nourish our souls with prayer, meditation, or
perhaps by reading great literature or listening to great
music.
Mental repair may mean changing bad habits, such as
the habit of watching television.
We must work to develop our heart, our emotional
connections and our engagement with other people.
14. Habit 8 : “Finding your voice and helping
others find theirs.”
“Voice” is the unique personal significance each of us offers,
and can bring to bear at work.
The 8th habit is all about moving from effectiveness to
greatness
Finding our unique voice means fulfilling our innate potential.
Finding our voice, involves the four elements of a whole
person: mind, body, heart and spirit.
Mind = Vision
When the mind is fully developed we gain vision, the ability
to discern the highest potential in people, institutions,
causes and enterprises.
15. Body = Discipline
We need discipline to transform vision into reality. Discipline
comes by combining vision and commitment.
Heart = Passion
When we develop a wise heart we will feel the passionate fire of
conviction, the flame that sustains the discipline needed to
achieve the vision.
Passion flows from finding and using our unique voice to
accomplish great things.
Spirit = Conscience
Developing our mental identity will lead us toward knowing the
right fork in the road, toward an inward moral compass that will
guide us.
