In visual arts and graphic design, white space is fundamental to allowing a creation to exist, by creating delineation and focus. Similarly, in our lives, creativity often sprouts from the "white space" of time: the moments in our increasingly busy schedules between activities and thoughts that allow the subconscious to better absorb and connect information. Clearly, in order to be more creative, we need to open up this "in-between" space in our lives, but once we've done so, how can we best capitalize upon the brain's natural creative capacities? In this talk, we'll explore several counter-intuitive and potentially subversive methods for leveraging this "white space" to foment innovative thinking creative productivity.

Organization 2.0: Avoiding the Social Software GraveyardMeredith Farkas
The document discusses how social software initiatives in libraries often fail and provides recommendations for successful Library 2.0 projects. It notes that initiatives often fail because they are not tied to the library's strategic goals or planned and supported over time. Successful projects clearly define goals tied to the institution, involve staff in planning, devote ongoing time and support, and continually assess the initiative. The document advocates for developing a culture open to new ideas, risk, creativity, and networking to support sustainable Library 2.0 projects.

Community engagement through social networkingDave Briggs
Dave Briggs discusses how community engagement through social networking can be used to make public scrutiny and engagement more effective. He argues that digital engagement is already happening online through forums and social media in both large cities and small towns. Groups should participate in online discussions to listen, acknowledge others, create content, and collaborate. When starting online engagement efforts, organizations should release content frequently and get involved in existing online networks while also growing their own. [/SUMMARY]
The document discusses that the value of technology is not just about apps, but how people configure platforms and connect them together in new ways to solve specific problems. It notes that niche user groups can deliver more value than mass production models. Structuring configurations can help with re-use while still allowing for expression. The most important things are learning from each other and sharing stories of both success and failure.
This document provides tips and suggestions for libraries working with young professionals and hosting programs for them. It discusses keeping events casual and inclusive, providing conversation starters at speed dating events, getting extra staff for after hours events, and letting book clubs and other programs develop organically.

This document contains links to various photos hosted on Flickr, Fotopedia, and other photo sharing sites. The photos seem to be unrelated and cover a wide range of subjects, locations, and styles. They provide a sampling of the types of images that can be found online through photo sharing communities.
The document discusses designing holistic experiences that span both digital and physical channels. It recommends designing for the "space between" interactions by considering the full customer journey. Five principles are outlined for cross-channel design: convenient, connected, consistent, contextual, and cross-time. Five methods and tools are also presented: thinking in terms of services; sharing design work; starting with observations; embracing discomfort; and focusing on customer needs over specific solutions. The overall message is that customers experience brands through all touchpoints, so design must consider the integrated experience.
The document discusses common issues with PowerPoint presentations and provides tips for giving more effective presentations. It notes that while PowerPoint is widely used, many presentations are ineffective because they rely too heavily on bullet points and text-heavy slides rather than visuals and engaging the audience. The document recommends focusing on simplicity, using images and visuals rather than walls of text, and interacting with the audience rather than treating the presentation like a document to be read. It emphasizes that the presenter, not the software or slides, should be the focus of the presentation.
The document discusses how to incorporate user experience (UX) design principles into agile development processes. It recommends conducting quick user interviews to understand user needs, creating low-fidelity prototypes to test early with users, and iterating the prototypes based on user feedback to refine the design. Conducting rapid and frequent user testing is important to iteratively improve the design and ensure it meets user needs. Adopting an agile mindset of frequent collaboration, iteration and user feedback is key for meaningful UX work.
Forget your nike and adidas, this year’s cool geobrand is openSteven Feldman
This year's cool brand is OPEN, which refers to open source, open standards, OpenStreetMap, and open data. OPEN is popular because it is free, catches on with internet users, and allows for collaboration and sharing of geospatial data and tools. However, questions remain about transparency, accountability, and the quality of some open data and maps. Overall, open geospatial initiatives are growing rapidly in terms of participation and amount of shared data.
Peer coaching involves working together to closely examine situations, asking questions to find alternative solutions, and selecting the best approach rather than giving advice. The goal is continuous evolution through collaborative problem solving.
This document discusses embracing failure in the library setting. It presents a process for trying new programs, setting goals and evaluation points, then learning from the results. This includes choosing a program, establishing goals and metrics for success or failure, implementing it, evaluating outcomes, and determining how to move forward by applying lessons learned. The overall message is that libraries should experiment often, accept that some efforts may fail, and use failure as an opportunity to improve future initiatives.
Retrospektiven als Change Management ToolMarc Löffler
Retrospektiven sind der Kern eines jeden iterativen Prozesses. Sinnvollerweise werden auch Change Management Prozesse iterativ durchgeführt. Deshalb bilden Retrospektiven den idealen Rahmen, um einen solchen Prozess zu starten und zu begleiten.
The document discusses ways to make retrospectives for agile software development teams more engaging and effective. It suggests adding hypotheses to retrospectives to give them more purpose and focus. Various metaphor-based retrospective formats are presented, like using soccer or cooking terms, to help teams think differently. The key ideas are that retrospectives need purpose and new perspectives to avoid repetition and keep people motivated to work on identified issues.
Agile methods are often misunderstood to mean no documentation, anarchy, or a simple switch from traditional methods, but Agile in fact emphasizes documentation, collaboration, and iterative improvement to develop software faster while avoiding a "silver bullet" approach.

A Scrum zombie is somebody attending the various Scrum meetings but don't know about the Scrum values behind it. This short presentation gives some tips, how to help Scrum teams to embrace these values.
This document discusses watermelon reporting and ways to increase transparency in projects. Watermelon reporting occurs when a project's status is inaccurately reported as better than it is when moving up management levels. To address this, the document recommends using transparent project tracking tools like sprint and backlog burndowns visible to all teams. It also describes a real-life example where multiple teams addressed watermelon reporting by visualizing workflows, consolidating backlogs, and creating an agile dashboard for management to see overall project status. Transparency through tools like these can eliminate watermelon reporting according to the document.
The document discusses 10 things that can drive a ScrumMaster crazy: 1) Doing tasks outside the sprint backlog, 2) Hiding impediments, 3) Not communicating with the product owner during sprints, 4) Ignoring the definition of done, 5) Claiming to have no work assigned when tasks remain open, 6) Last-minute sprint review preparation, 7) Not splitting large tasks, 8) Chronic tardiness, 9) Constantly asking what to work on next, and 10) Distracting meetings. The root causes are identified as fear, laziness, complacency, and apathy. Suggestions to address these issues include teaching the Scrum process, getting commitment from team members, and
