Building muscles to improve innovation networks pugh skifstad may 2020 final (1)Katrina (Kate) Pugh
In this session we talk about the imperative to use networks and collaboration for innovation. We provide four tools for doing this:
1. Network effectiveness framework (for designing the network for innovation outcomes)
2. Four Discussion Disciplines (for improving the day to day interactions for innovation)
3. Innovation Network levers (for systematically infusing network and conversation practices into the innovation levers)
4. Open Innovation model (for discerning who's participating, and how, as innovation opens up to include outside brains, ideas, and funds).
This presentation features research and practice, and we hope to collaborate with others working in innovation to improve our shared innovation network models. .

[AgileDevOps West 2023] We're in it together and other perspectives on effect...Jason Yip
Have you watched those Spotify engineering culture videos? They were trendy and influential in the agile community but that was around nine years ago. What might we say about effective product development culture today? In this keynote, Jason Yip will share a summary of 2023-era effective product development culture based on his eight years at Spotify and 14 years at ThoughtWorks. This will include core beliefs, guiding principles, and core practices. Which ones will align with what you see at your workplace? Which ones will highlight opportunities for improvement? This keynote is not to encourage copying something that will become obsolete in another nine years, but instead to share an example of reflecting on effective product development culture to hopefully encourage your own ongoing reflection and improvement.

Strategic planning. You know you should be doing more of it. But the way you normally do it requires lots of up-front time to do and lots of follow-up time to get buy-in. And frankly, you have trouble with the buy-in part. All that trouble, minimal follow-through.
Great strategic planning processes are lightweight and participatory. This is nice-to-have for organizations, and it's critical for networks, where you don't have the benefit of hierarchy to influence its behavior. Networks will do what they do.
In this Leadership Learning Community webinar, I describe how to do strategic planning for networks. I draw heavily from my experience leading the open strategic planning process for the Wikimedia movement, which drew over 1,000 participants and led to a movement-wide shift in focus on increasing reach and participation in developing countries. I share how you can leverage these types of processes for both your network and your organization
New Media Communications in the U.S. Fish and Wildlife ServiceJennifer Strickland
Joint presentation by national web manager David Yeargin, southeast regional new media specialist Jennifer Strickland, and national new media specialist Mike Davidson addressing the current state of social media within the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Presented at the 2010 Public Affairs Meeting, October 21, 2010, Arlington, VA.
Podcasting is gaining widespread popularity as knowledge of this new content format penetrates the public consciousness. However, only a select group of hosts are being discovered or listened to (and hence, enjoying success). This project aims to innovate for and improve gender equality in the podcasting format, asking how might the discovery of relevant content for podcast listeners be redesigned to challenge the current model of charts and categories. Using the Research through Design methodology to explore this question, this work builds upon an ethical foundation, and primary and secondary research to create an intervention in the form of a mobile application. The resulting prototype, a mobile application, was tested with a range of end-users and refined. The findings suggest that listeners’ key needs when discovering new content are curated recommendations and a sense of trust.

Virtual vs. In-Person Professional Developmentnetc2012
by Cheryl Peters, Michelle Rodgers, Lela Vandenberg
In 2010, Michigan State University Extension conducted its annual statewide conference entirely online; in 2011 MSUE chose to deliver the annual conference both virtually and face-to-face. Similarly, in 2010, eXtension, conducted its first nationwide professional development conference also using Adobe Connect. In 2011, eXtension stayed with a totally virtual conference but modified the format for more focused discussion and participation. Both organizations have conducted extensive quantitative and qualitative evaluations. This session will focus on methodology and lessons learned by both presenters and participants.
After attending a national conference, our CIO came to me and said, “Purchase an iPad lab and start training people how to use them.” This is the story of how I learned about iPads: how to maintain university compliance on mobile devices and how to convince clients that mobile devices are work devices, not toys, and not laptop replacements. Come to this session to learn how mobile devices are not just for “Angry Birds” anymore. Bring your iPad or Android and we will share best apps!
by Jerold Thomas, Mark Light, Nadine Fogt, Jamie Seger, Emily Rhoads
Mobile devices like tablets and smartphones are changing how Extension professionals work. We will explore mobile devices including smartphones, iPads, Motorola Zoom and other tools and discuss their uses in Extension settings. We will provide actual teaching materials, create a site listing mobile applications for Extension professionals and review/demonstrate key apps with a focus on how the apps/tools let us work differently in Extension settings. Apps shared will focus on Extension programming/teaching, work and productivity improvement, and quality of life enhancement. Security issues also will be explored.

The eXtension Military Families Initiative Network Literacy Community of Practice (CoP) was created to build a community around learning in online networked environments. The CoP helps Extension professionals and military service helping professionals use social networks and learning networks to work more effectively and efficiently across boundaries. The emerging nature of the CoP’s work requires an evaluation method that captures the fluidity and constant change inherent in working in a complex system. Using reflective practice in a developmental evaluation framework, the Network Literacy CoP is able to monitor and adapt quickly to the environment. This session will focus on the work of the Network Literacy CoP as it incorporates a developmental evaluation approach. Presenters will discuss the CoP and its work implementing the reflective practice and lessons learned.

Moodle was adopted by eXtension in 2007 as its course delivery system. The use of this resource, the number of courses offered, and it capabilities continue to increase. This session will provide an overview of the capabilities of this system, what is required to obtain workspace, how courses may be administered, and what training and support is available for using it.
In 2011, eXtension adopted the use of Drupal as its content management system. Anyone with an eXtension ID is authorized to create content at this site, but it is normally done in the context of an eXtension community, leading to collaborative work and the availability of a group dashboard to facilitate group communications.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

What is Content Curation? By Beth KanterContent curation is the organizing, filtering and making sense of information on the web and sharing the very best content with your network. If you think about what a museum curator does, it is very similar. The museum curator does research, is an expert in the artistic style, selects the best examples, puts them together in an exhibit, provides important context with the annotation on the labels, and so on. Not too long ago content curators used to be called journalists!I like the metaphor of a sommelier…They know the grapes, the winemaker and their techniques, and vintages. They taste many wines to find the best of the best to match with the food in the restaurant. They can answer questions about the wine to help diners navigate a wine list to make the best choice. The content curator does this as well, although with information.http://www.bethkanter.org/robin-good/

Ed Morrison, PurdueWe are moving into an era in which open networks generate wealth. Companies are learning that they must collaborate to compete. Many of the entrepreneurs guiding these young, more dynamic companies recognize that universities can be their most reliable, valuable collaborator.Leaders in local and state government, as well as the nonprofit sector, are learning the same lesson: In the midst of dwindling budgets and a growing demand for services, collaboration provides the only reliable path forward. Our traditional approach to organization and programs is too stiff, too inflexible, and too costly. We need new approaches to providing education and social services that are more responsive, productive, and adaptive. We need more innovation.It sounds simple enough. To leverage the vast resources of our universities in service to our regional economies, we should expand our collaborations. But the task is not so easy.http://engagedscholar.msu.edu/magazine/volume6/morrison.aspx

Consider as part of your job to try out new technology—even if it doesn’t seem directly connected to your work…From Jason Jones blogging with Greg Downey, now the director of the School of Journalism & Mass Communication at the University of Wisconsin. Greg explained that I should consider it part of my job to try out new technology regularly, even if it didn’t seem directly connected to our work.Set boundaries. There’s a pretty clear line between “I’d like to understand a bit more about using my mobile device” and “I want to play Angry Birds Space for 4 hours.” It’s worth saying that, when I knew him, Greg was a programmer, and programmers have the greatest excuse ever for playing around.Force yourself to fiddle. There’s a lot of internet folk wisdom about just how few users ever change the default settings in any application–and nobody ever learned about anything by accepting defaults. If there’s something redeemable about the most basic sort of screwing around on the internet, then you actually do need to see what happens when you change things.It’s ok to quit a particular experiment. There’s no reason to consider an abandoned blog a failure, or punish yourself for only using some web service irregularly.

Consider as part of your job to try out new technology—even if it doesn’t seem directly connected to your work…From Jason Jones blogging with Greg Downey, now the director of the School of Journalism & Mass Communication at the University of Wisconsin. Greg explained that I should consider it part of my job to try out new technology regularly, even if it didn’t seem directly connected to our work.Set boundaries. There’s a pretty clear line between “I’d like to understand a bit more about using my mobile device” and “I want to play Angry Birds Space for 4 hours.” It’s worth saying that, when I knew him, Greg was a programmer, and programmers have the greatest excuse ever for playing around.Force yourself to fiddle. There’s a lot of internet folk wisdom about just how few users ever change the default settings in any application–and nobody ever learned about anything by accepting defaults. If there’s something redeemable about the most basic sort of screwing around on the internet, then you actually do need to see what happens when you change things.It’s ok to quit a particular experiment.

Understand the biometrics of networking—it’s not just about connecting the nodes and configuring routersKevin Kelly: New Rules for a New EconomyMathematics says the sum value of a network increases as the square of the number of members. In other words, as the number of nodes in a network increases arithmetically, the value of the network increases exponentially. Adding a few more members can dramatically increase the value of the network.The value of a network explodes as its membership increases, and then the value explosion sucks in yet more members, compounding the result.http://www.kk.org/newrules/selected_maxims.php John Hagel III and John Seely BrownThere's a classic story in economics primers illustrating the power of network effects. It tells how the first fax machine gave little value to its owner--after all, there was no one else with whom to send and receive faxes. As time went by, however, the value of that first machine increased as other people bought fax machines, and soon its owner could send faxes to the far corners of the earth, and receive them in return. The point of the story is how the value of a node in a network rises exponentially as more nodes are added to it. These are called network effects.

Understand what is our business—learning and education (in that order)Education is the process of imparting knowledge, values, skills and attitudes, which can be beneficial to an individual. On the contrary, learning is the process of adopting knowledge, values and skills.Learning is said to be an ongoing process. An individual is always learning, from birth till death. Education is something that one gets at some point in their life. Another thing that can be said, is that learning is an informal process, and education is a formal process.http://www.differencebetween.net/miscellaneous/difference-between-education-and-learning/

Re-Frame your vision within the context of the organization—that’s your competitive advantage…be a reframer.Klaus Schwab gave the opening speech at the 2012 World Economic Forum in Davos:As I outlined in my opening address at Davos, capital is being superseded by creativity and the ability to innovate -- and therefore by human talents -- as the most important factors of production. If talent is becoming the decisive competitive factor, we can be confident in stating that capitalism is being replaced by 'talentism.' Just as capital replaced manual trades during the process of industrialization, capital is now giving way to human talent. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/adam-marsh/innovation-ecosystem-a-gl_b_1474860.html
