Azure Day Rome Reloaded 2019 - Cloud Journey – FastTrack for Azureazuredayit
Starting from a scenario with obsolete legacy infrastructure services, we moved the entire .NET application landscape to Azure Platform as a Service.
The migration strategy was based on Azure Database Migration and was completed in a month and a half using Azure PaaS (Database as a Service, App Service and Application Gateway).
With minimal application changes, we were able to provide workload optimization, management optimization and Infrastructure as Code, which resulted in a reduction in the number of servers (from 30 to 5), in management effort (-70%) and in deployment time for the client.

Digital Transformation: A necessary technology disruptionFausto Pasqualetti
“A disruption displaces an existing market, industry, or technology and produces something new and more efficient and worthwhile.
It is at once destructive and creative.”
digital production and the 4th industrial revolutionRoberto Siagri
The essence of the forth industrial revolution is around the creation of unstructured data. In order to take the maximum advantage you need a agnostic data collection platform that decouples data from producers and users.
Summary of the Book Exponential organizationsGMR Group
Happy Morning
I have made a small attempt to summarize this book after reading this number of times.
In this book Salim Ismail gives a deep dive – Exponential Organizations where he shows how any company, from Startup to a multi-national , can become exponential.
The author unveils years of research learning how organizations can accelerate growth through use of Technology. The goal of the book is to provide you with the knowledge to leverage assets such as big data, communities, algorithms, and new technology to achieve performance ten times better than your competition.
It is good book for entrepreneurs who need a guide for harnessing and strategizing the hyper growth of a company that feeds off of modern technology in the 21st century and beyond.
Because we focus on accelerating technologies and the future we identified an infection point in how we build businesses that has never noticed before.
Most CEOs see innovation as product or service innovation. But there is also process innovation, social innovation, organizational innovation, management innovation, business model innovation etc.
Those business that do not evolve , will not survive

Becoming an exponential organization in an Age of DisruptionRob van Alphen
Any company designed for success in the 20th century is doomed to failure in the 21st.
It used to take 20 years to make a billion-dollar company – Slack took 8 months. An Exponential Organization (ExO) is one whose impact is at least 10X larger compared to its peers because of the use of new organizational techniques that leverage emerging technologies. Let's take a look at the key attributes of a 10X company and the steps to retrofit your organization for exponential growth.

IT in particular enables high-impact innovations due to its wide-ranging influence and ability to automate tasks and connect people. For Sri Lanka, focusing on open source IT projects through organizations like Apache Software Foundation provides a competitive advantage against larger competitors and has led to economic opportunities.
The 10x Effect - Unlocking the Business Transforming Secrets of Exponenital10x Nation
Our world is on the precipice of a major paradigm shift in business.
The age of cumbersome corporate giants is coming to a close. And the age of the agile exponential business is coming online.
The pace and scope of growth in technology has made the status quo model of scarcity-centered business almost completely obsolete.
On the flip side, these ever-accelerating technologies are allowing abundance-minded businesses to do far more with far less.
Embracing exponential practices like cloud computing, crowd-sourcing, and staff-on-demand have allowed a new generation of companies to experience unprecedented growth, scalability, and agility.
But how can embracing these exponential changes affect positive change in your business?
This document discusses exponential organizations and the impact of technology on businesses. It notes that companies designed for the 20th century will struggle in the 21st century due to rapid technological changes. Exponential organizations embrace new technologies like robotics, the internet of things, and have ambitious mission statements. They use objectives and key results (OKRs) to stay focused during periods of fast growth. Examples mentioned include companies like Airbnb, Netflix, Google, and Coca Cola. The document provides a reading list and contact information for further discussion on exponential organizations.

Exponential Companies or the end of the Big CorporationsOlivier Gramaccia
Today thanks to the digital technologies, size in business doesn't matter so much as before. Small, flexible and innovative companies demonstrates every day the eve of new era where start-ups and small corporations will become the standard to generate tons of cash. What are the characteristics of such companies? Discover it in this PPT.
Yuri van Geest: Exponential Organizations - The New Normalsinnerschrader
The world is changing exponentially due to technology, Singularity and globalization. We see the emergence of a new kind of organization: the exponential organization. This is complete reinvention of all building blocks of a classic, linear organization. Why is it here today? Why is it so successful? What is it? How does it organize to scale? How will exponential organizations evolve into blockchain startups (DAOs)? Learn practical insights from not only startups like Slack, Uber, Xiaomi, Airbnb, Waze, Local Motors, Quirky, Github and Tesla but also large organizations like Google, Amazon, Haier and General Electric.
If your organization was built in the 20th century it is doomed to fail in the 21st century. Why? Nobody uses s a mobile phone of 15 years old to survive in todays' business world but we do use organizational models which are 100 years old in todays' exponential era. This does not make sense and explains disruption in each and every vertical market.
*talk at NEXT15*
This document discusses exponential technologies and their impact on finance. It provides examples of exponential growth in storage capacity, digital cameras, and computing power. Key points discussed include:
- Exponential technologies like AI, augmented reality, data science and more are rapidly shaping major industries.
- When these technologies are combined to solve challenges, more sustainable solutions can be developed.
- Ray Kurzweil believes artificial general intelligence comparable to human level intelligence could be achieved by 2029.
- The document outlines an action plan for Pakistan to leverage exponential technologies like bitcoin and by hosting conferences to promote innovation.
Embotech is a Zurich-based tech startup founded in 2013 that develops cutting-edge decision-making software for autonomous motion. Their flagship product, FORCES Pro, automatically generates efficient embedded code to solve complex motion problems. Embotech uses this software to develop autonomous vehicle motion planning technology as well as solutions for other industries like wind turbines. With its fast, reliable, and customizable real-time motion planners, Embotech is redefining autonomous motion to make the world better and safer.
Exponential organizations are designed for success in the 21st century. They have massive, transformative purposes that attract talent and focus the organization. They leverage external resources like staff on demand, communities, algorithms, and digital engagement. Internally, they use interfaces, dashboards, experimentation, autonomy, and social technologies. Companies that embrace exponential principles can increase in valuation 10 times in 10 quarters by turning everything into measurable information.
The document provides an overview of intelligent content and the evolution of content on the web. It defines intelligent content as content that expresses meaning in an open way such that data, information and knowledge can be accessed by people and applications. The document discusses how content on the web has evolved from documents with links to include more user-generated content and social aspects. Examples of intelligent applications that intersect multiple data sets are mentioned. The talk concludes by discussing different types of structured content and how the internet is evolving into a complex system with the web providing the basis for the nervous system.
In any business, performance is key. In performance, organization is key to growth. In the past five years,
the business world has seen the birth of the Exponential Organization (ExO). An ExO is able to eliminate
the incremental, linear way traditional companies get bigger. It leverages assets like community, big data,
algorithms, and new technology into achieving performance benchmarks ten times better than its peers.
This new breed of company has revolutionised how an organisation can accelerate its growth by using
technology.
After researching this phenomenon and the future of organisations, the authors documented ten characteristics of ExOs. In their book, Exponential Organizations, they offer guidance to startups and multinationals alike on how any company can streamline its performance and grow to the next level. This pivotal work was chosen by Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel, to be one of Bloomberg’s Best Books of 2015.
It was also selected as Frost & Sullivan͛s 2014 Growth, Innovation, and Leadership Book of the Year. According to Ray Kurzwell, Director of Engineering at Google, the book is required reading for anyone interested in ways exponential technologies are reinventing best practice in business.
Exponential Technologies and Exponential Organizations MixTeodor V Panayotov
An exponential organization (ExO) is one whose impact is disproportionately large, at least 10 times larger than its peers, due to the use of new organizational techniques leveraging exponential technologies. An ExO has three key attributes: a massive, transformative purpose; the ability to scale using staff on demand, community/crowd, algorithms, leveraged assets, and engagement; and an internal culture of experimentation, autonomy, and social technologies. Examples of ExOs include Google, TED, Singularity University, and Coca Cola, all of which have ambitious goals of organizing the world's information, spreading ideas, positively impacting billions, and opening happiness respectively.
Yuri van Geest is the author of Exponential Organizations and initiator and founding CEO of Singularity University NL. The document discusses exponential technologies like AI, robotics, biotech, computing and their ability to accelerate capabilities while reducing costs. It defines exponential organizations as those whose impact is disproportionately large, at least 10x, compared to peers through use of new organizational techniques leveraging exponential technologies. Examples provided include GitHub, Xiaomi, and Haier, organized around principles like autonomy, community engagement, and experimentation. Strategies are discussed for how corporations can create their own exponential organizations.
This document provides an agenda and information about the Next Big Thing Summit, which is a two-day conference being held on March 13th and 14th, 2014 in Melbourne, Australia. The summit will showcase emerging technologies with potential to change how people work and live, and will feature talks from leaders in technology, business, and science.

What is the role of AI in enterprise software. Rory O'Driscoll, partner at Scale Venture Partners, provides his perspective on where the AI trend will make the most impact.
This document discusses exponential organizations and the mindset needed to build one. It explains that exponential organizations utilize exponentially advancing technologies to disrupt existing industries. Some key exponential technologies discussed are 3D printing, robotics, artificial intelligence, and synthetic biology.
The document outlines the characteristics of an exponential mindset, including having a massive transformative purpose and vision. It describes the types of people needed, including a visionary leader and committed team members in roles like engineering, design, and business.
Building an exponential organization requires a "skunkworks" approach of focusing intensely on the user, sharing information openly, thinking big but starting small. The document concludes by discussing how to achieve a state of "flow" through clear goals
The document discusses the importance and rapid pace of digital transformation. It notes that digital is projected to contribute $140B to Australian GDP by 2025 and that 52% of executives rated their digital IQ as strong, down from 67% the prior year. The document outlines four common approaches for companies undergoing digital transformation: the innovation outpost, business unit accelerator, digital factory, and full-scale evolution. It emphasizes the importance of a holistic view from CEOs and having the right talent and capabilities.
The document discusses the concept of exponential organizations (ExOs) and provides frameworks for how companies can achieve exponential growth. It outlines that ExOs have a massive transformative purpose, use external attributes like staff on demand and leveraged assets, and internal attributes like experimentation and autonomy. The frameworks, Massive Transformative Purpose (MTP), SCALE (staff on demand, community/crowd, algorithms, leveraged assets, engagement), and IDEAS (interface processes, dashboards, experimentation, autonomy, social technologies) provide structure for ExOs to scale rapidly. The document argues that companies must adopt these frameworks to survive the exponential changes happening in technology.

Changing the course at acer ..case studyDr.Anu Narula
Acer went through many challenges in becoming the third largest PC manufacturer, including losing U.S. market share to cheaper competitors. In the late 1990s, Acer implemented three strategic decisions - decentralizing into 21 business units, adopting a client-server structure, and using a fast food assembly model. In the 2000s, Acer split branding and OEM businesses, focused on fewer products and markets, and introduced tablet PCs in Asia. It restructured into Wistron, Acer Inc., and BenQ to focus on manufacturing, marketing, and other products respectively. Acer's decisions were aimed at adapting to changing environments and markets.
This document discusses five timeless strategy rules that Bill Gates, Andy Grove, and Steve Jobs followed based on a study of their leadership and business success.
The five rules are: 1) look forward and reason back, 2) make big bets without betting the company, 3) build platforms and ecosystems not just products, 4) exploit leverage and power, and 5) shape the company around your personal anchor. Each leader had a different personal anchor of strengths they built their companies around. They also learned to compensate for weaknesses by hiring others with complementary skills.
The document analyzes how each leader applied these rules through their visions and strategies for Microsoft, Intel, and Apple based on anticipating technological changes from Moore's Law

This document outlines an agenda for a one-day technology entrepreneurship seminar for Egyptian university students. The seminar introduces concepts of entrepreneurship and innovation and covers topics such as the entrepreneurial process, opportunity identification, business strategy, business plan writing, startup valuation, and introduction to marketing. Case studies are used to illustrate lessons about innovation, product development, capital formation, and responding to competition. Trend analysis and Porter's five forces model are discussed as approaches for analyzing industries and opportunities.
Five critical skills are needed for executive leadership in today's digital age:
1. External focus - Large companies must pursue innovative ideas from outside even if they come from smaller companies.
2. Management of open and fluid teams - Fast-moving digital world demands nimble teams that work across departments.
3. Data-driven experimentation - Proliferation of data allows for purposeful experimentation to innovate faster and cheaper.
4. Customer centricity - Wide variety of digital channels require seamless, consistent experience across all customer touchpoints.
5. Creation of a change-friendly culture - Organizations must rapidly adapt but most employees resist change, so leaders must cultivate an atmosphere where
Acer went through several changes in course over the years in response to shifting market conditions. In the late 1990s, Acer lost US market share to competitors like Dell and implemented a "21 and 21" strategy to decentralize operations. In the early 2000s, Acer again restructured by splitting into different brands and focusing on more profitable regions and products, including introducing early tablet PCs. Acer's founder emphasized empowered and decentralized decision making. Acer continues reshaping strategies to adapt to a changing global business environment while gaining a strong foothold in computers and exploring new product categories.

Acer went through many challenges in becoming the second largest PC manufacturer, including being seen as a "Taiwanese PC cloner". In the late 1990s, Acer lost U.S. market share to competitors offering cheaper, more powerful PCs. To respond, Acer implemented three strategic decisions: decentralizing into 21 public companies for entrepreneurial drive; adopting a client-server structure for competitiveness and collective strength; and using a fast food business model to minimize risks. In 2001-2003, Acer restructured again by splitting branding and OEM businesses, focusing on fewer products and markets like Asia, and establishing Wistron, Acer Inc., and BenQ under the Pan Acer Group.

The document discusses how social, mobile, analytics and cloud (SMAC) technologies are transforming businesses through the "SMAC stack". The SMAC stack represents the next major architecture for enterprise IT, enabling hyper-intelligent software platforms that can transform business models and key processes. Examples are given of how SMAC-powered businesses like Craigslist and Wikipedia have disrupted traditional industrial models in industries like newspapers and encyclopedias. Unless companies implement SMAC technologies to transform their business models, they risk facing disruption like many traditional "widget winners" that have been usurped by "digit winners" that have embraced SMAC. The document outlines how the SMAC stack will lead to exponential growth in the number of connected devices and
