The social life of ideas: From innovation to profitHay Group India
The main challenge in organizational innovation lies in its execution, and not in having more ideas. Top companies create supportive cultures that transform ideas into profitable investments.
Companies need innovation to survive. In fact, there is no shortage of clever people and smart ideas. Hence the competitive edge comes from having the best execution – from the time the idea is first identified, shepherded through the corporate maze, and into the hands of the paying customer.
And yet, in many companies, the chase for short-term profitability can become the Achilles heel of long-term business sustainability. The way to avoid this is to have a deep-rooted culture that promotes innovation and new ideas to filter up and sideways.

Software is changing the way traditional business operate. People now have smartphones in their pockets - a supercomputer that is 25,000 times more powerful and the minicomputers of the 1960s. This is changing people's behaviour and how people shop and use services. The organisational structure created in the 20th century cannot survive when new digital solution are being offered.

The organisational structure that companies in the 20th century established was based on the fact that employees needed to do all the work. The coordination cost was high due to the effort and cost of employees, housing etc. Now we have software that can do this for use and the coordination cost drops to close-to-zero. Another thing is that things become free. Consider Flickr. Anybody can sign up and use the service for free. Only a fraction of the users get pro account and pay. How can Flickr make money on that? It turns out that services like this can.
Many businesses make money by giving things away. How can that possibly work? The music business has suffered severely with digital distribution of content. Should musicians put all their songs on YouTube? What is the future business model for music?

New Release: MLOVE ConFestival Insights
Mobile pioneers and thought leaders were sharing insights at MLOVE ConFestival Europe 2012 about the change that Mobile is bringing to the world.
Speakers include: Jessi Baker (TBWA), Jonathan MacDonald (this fluid world), Ben Jones (AKQA), Louisa Heinrich (Fjord), Yuri van Geest (Singularity University), Mara Belestrini (Ideas for Change) and many more.
Themes include: Mobile Communications, Connected Cars, Africa, Music and New TV to name a few. If you haven’t attended one of the MLOVE ConFestivals in Monterey or Berlin yet, this is the best chance to get a glimpse of what the experience is like and why you don’t want to miss the next MLOVE ConFestival in Kamakura Japan, November 14-16 (www.mlove.com/japan2012).
In the digital world, it has long been said that ‘Content is King’
The debate then moved onto whether ‘Control of Distribution’ was more important…
The reality is that value propositions in the Digital arena are more complex than just ‘Content or Distribution’
To help guide the way, KPMG has created a checklist of 20 ways – “the 20Cs” in which a company might provide value through a digital model.
This we have called the Digital Convergence Equalizer.

Advertising - Presentation by Andreas Bodczek, Co-Founder & CEO of SponsorPay at the NOAH 2012 Conference in San Francisco, Four Seasons Hotel on the 26th of june. www.noah-conference.com
Based on, and including, interviews with a global panel of experts from world-leading institutions, Capitalising on the Digital Age outlines future revenue models and strategies that media and telecoms firms should consider adopting in order to prosper in a world where the value of traditional business models is slowly being eroded.
Welcome to the eighteenth edition of GS-insight, the quarterly magazine from international executive search firm Gillamor Stephens. In this 18th issue of GS-insight, Matt Mead, Managing Director of Investments for NESTA, discusses the challenging world of early stage investment while Tom Wrenn of ECI provides the PE perspective on the current investment landscape. We also speak with Colin Tenwick, recent CEO of StepStone regarding his transformation of this infamous dot.com bust into a booming success.
Jon Temple, CEO of data centre infrastructure management company, nlyte Software explains how there must be an emphasis on the business fundamentals of top line growth and expense reduction in order to grown in the “green” IT market, and Tony O’Donnell of Cambium helps us understand carbon reduction legislation and the opportunities that this creates for technology vendors. Dave Darsch of CEO-Collaborative Forum explores the importance of peer group interaction for CEOs and Keith Cornell sheds insight into the role of the Board. Finally James McDougall, whom we placed as CEO of VC backed ReVolt Technology, talks about the realities of being CEO of a technology innovator in a global market.
The world is being transformed by new technologies, which are redefining customer expectations, enabling businesses to meet these new expectations, and changing
the way people live and work. Digital transformation, as this is commonly called, has immense potential to change consumer lives, create value for business and unlock
broader societal benefits.
The World Economic Forum launched the Digital Transformation Initiative in 2015, in collaboration with Accenture, to serve as the focal point for new opportunities and
themes arising from the latest developments in the digitalization of business and society. It supports the Forum’s broader activity around the theme of the Fourth
Industrial Revolution. Since its inception, the Initiative has analysed the impact of digital transformation across 13 industries and five cross-industry topics, to identify the
key themes that enable the value generated by digitalization to be captured for business and wider society. Drawing on these themes, we have developed a series of
imperatives for business and policy leaders that look to maximize the benefits of digitalization. We have engaged with more than 300 executives (both from leading
global firms and newer technology disruptors), government and policy leaders, and academics.
Every industry has its nuances and contextual differences, but they all share certain inhibitors to change. These include the innovator’s dilemma (the fear of
cannibalizing existing revenue models), low technology adoption rates across organizations, conservative organizational cultures, and regulatory issues. Business and
government leaders should continue to work towards addressing these challenges.
A notable outcome of this work is the development of our distinctive economic framework, which quantifies the impact of digitalization on industry and society. It can be
applied consistently at all levels of business and government to help unlock the estimated $100 trillion of value that digitalization could create over the next decade. We
have already started to leverage this framework for region-specific discussions with some governments.
We are confident that the findings from the Initiative will contribute to improving the state of the world through digital transformation, both for business and wider society.
To deliver on this potential, smarter media and entertainment companies are transforming business models, operations and customer experiences. (1) Innovate business models and seize digital market opportunities, (2) Differentiate the consumer experience, (3) Improve operational efficiencies.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

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.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
