Brian Lalancette CollabCon 2015 Developing a Business Requirements Strategy f...Brian Lalancette
We regularly see SharePoint introduced by IT then thrust upon unsuspecting users as (for example) a replacement for file shares or a cure-all collaboration tool. But several important questions get missed: What are the business problems we’re trying to solve by rolling out SharePoint? What are the short- and long-term objectives around introducing or upgrading SharePoint in a particular organization? How exactly do we go about spec’ing and sizing SharePoint farms? What factors will ultimately drive not only the initial go-live state of your SharePoint farm, but also map out its growth strategy? Finally, what’s the best way to proceed if we don’t have (or can’t easily get) the answers to all these questions yet?

Hdi Capital Area September 2014 Meeting Slideshdicapitalarea
New employees join your organization, only to arrive with no workstation, no user profile, and no access to critical systems. You’ve built an onboarding process, but steps are missed occasionally and it takes weeks before new employees are fully able to do the job they were hired for. Or perhaps you’ve just had a key employee leave the company to work for a competitor. Are you certain that the individual’s access to business-critical systems has been deactivated?
Companies like yours face these problems daily while trying to manually manage the acquisition and termination of employees. In many cases, companies don’t even realize they have left access to business systems open to exiting employees, exposing both the organization and its customers to risk.

How We end the Walking Dead in the Enterprise - Session Sponsored by VersentAmazon Web Services
We've all experienced it; attempt after attempt to bring contemporary transformation to the workplace, only to be attacked by 'the old guard' of the technology landscape. In 2016, companies are learning that many old methods/processes/technologies have zombified, or are already infected and dying. Old world solutions, powered by the fear of the new, the uncertainty of change and the doubt that it will scale, are quickly limiting companies by their inability to rapidly change.
However a growing numbers of CIO's, and leadership teams have embraced the 'full stack' revolution and are reaping the benefits of true Mode 2 transformation. We'd like to share some insight from real world customers who've built 'new world' material ecosystems that stands the rigour of these internal and external threats. Leaders and technologists who've leaned into change and avoided becoming another member of 'the walking dead'.
Topics Include:
Strategies to deliver elastic, utility cloud across your enterprise.
Square peg, round hole & your Operating Model – Mode 2.
Don't bypass Service Management – (hint: it's not faster). Tips & Tricks.
Belligerent, aggressive automation – JDI.

The 2016 State of Cloud IT Report by BetterCloud
The Cloud Changes Everything
Work as we know it is transforming. Today, all businesses are technology enabled, regardless of size, industry, or location. But merely using technology no longer guarantees you remain competitive. As digital natives flood the global workforce, businesses are met with a decision: resist new norms or provide the latest technology to their employees.
We are in the midst of a technological shift not seen since the launch of Microsoft Office and the invention of the Internet. The world of IT is at a tipping point, and at the center are IT professionals experiencing once-in-a-career shifts in their roles and responsibilities. For years, IT has been mischaracterized as solely an internal support team; if something breaks, IT is there with the fix. In 2016, IT professionals are beginning to offload their routine work to cloud software and service providers, giving them more time to focus on strategic work.
The skills required to be a successful IT professional in the modern, cloud-first workplace are far different than they once were. Cloud IT is coming of age, and it’s going to affect every organization and IT professional in the world, much faster than you think.
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!

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

● Slips and Lapses – made inadvertently
by experienced operators during routine
tasks;
● Mistakes – decisions subsequently found
to be wrong, though the maker believed
them to be correct at the time; and
● Violations – deliberate deviations from
rules
Active Errors

● Job – distractions, lack of time,
inadequate procedures, poor lighting or
extremes of temperature;
● Human – physical ability, competency,
fatigue, stress or drugs;
● Organisational – work pressure, long
hours or insufficient supervision; and
● Plant and equipment – poor equipment
design or workplace layout.
