The rapidly shifting technology environment raises serious questions on how to help their companies capitalize on the transformation under way. Advancing technologies and their swift adoption are upending traditional business models. So, today we bring you Five Hottest Tech-Enabled Business Trends in 2017.
Social networks, mobile, analytics and cloud-computing (SMAC) technologies are converging to create a new way to deliver sustaining and disruptive innovations. You are chosen to lead an initiative comprised of global resources to advance your company’s competitive advantage.
Industry 4.0 is the name of the next industrial revolution which is fueled by the advancement of digital technologies. It
is dramatically changing how companies engage in business activities. As a result, the disruptive nature of Industry 4.0
demands a reassessment of the requirements for IT. On the one hand, there is the possibility that the responsibilities of Chief Information Officers (CIOs) could be taken over by other executives such as the Chief Digital Officer (CDO) or the Chief Technology Officer (CTO). On the other hand, this
recent development creates entirely new perspectives for positioning themselves and their IT departments
within the business.
The impact of digital technologies is reaching a magnitude at which IT is considered a substantial
business driver, potentially placing CIOs in the driver’s seat.

Ctrl-alt-del: Rebooting the Business Model for the Digital AgeCapgemini
Our research with the MIT Sloan Management Review reveals that only 16% of organizations are leveraging digital technologies to develop new business models. Most organizations follow traditional approaches to innovation that focus on new products and services, rather than on business models. However, research suggests that the returns from traditional approaches have been diminishing with time. As Serguei Netessine, Professor at INSEAD Singapore says, “Pharmaceutical companies spend as much as 30% of their revenues on R&D, trying to develop new products or technologies. But the return from this enormous expenditure has been very elusive and it is a common problem across industries.” Business model reinvention can be as good a route as technology, product or service innovations. This research highlight five different approaches that organizations can adopt to reinvent their business model with digital technologies.

4 steps for intrapreneurs to succeed in a corporate worldeTailing India
Begin by idea and research assumptions: It is, without a doubt, more difficult to prove the existence of a market than it is to start developing a product. That reality makes proving assumptions before development even more vital. Like scientists, begin with a strong hypothesis and then test it with different groups of people to try and disprove the theory. In doing so, startupsand intrapreneurs can validate, alter or refute the perceived pain point, and help determine market size and revenue potential.
Building the right support system for intrapreneurseTailing India
Building internal support for intrapreneurship is a prerequisite to creating meaningful change in an organization. Employees bold enough to be intrapreneurs must recognize the challenge they are taking on from the organizational frame. Organizations have great momentum and are, in most cases, inherently resilient to change. This places a great strain on an innovative employee with an interesting idea because she is tasked not only with implementing the idea but also with communicating it to key decision-makers to gain approval.
The GTO 2013 focuses on this confluence, which is transforming the way companies deliver millions of systems, software, and services to billions of users. While each technology driver is important when considered individually, this confluence is fueling four “mega-trends” with significant implications for enterprises.

The purpose of this first edition of the Market Trends Report is to shed light on the way digital technologies reshape trade finance, a sector which often does not get as much publicity as B2C financial services.
Given that disruption often comes from adjacent sectors or from the application of an existing technology to a new field, we found it essential to begin with a broad analysis of the latest trends before zooming in progressively on financial services and on trade finance specifically.
The report is structured around four chapters, starting from the general core techno trends, and converging towards the changes impacting the trade finance ecosystem:
1- Core techno trends, business model and social changes
2- Disrupted industries, changes in the way we live and work
3- FinTech disrupt (and partner with) banking and insurance
4- Conclusion: Trade Finance is also ripe for disruptive innovations
We really hope that you will like this Market Trends Report and that you will find it useful. When you read it, please keep in mind that it is still being refined. We welcome your feedbacks, insights and suggestions.
Major Disruption! (Report)
Cloud computing is disrupting more than our technological norms. It is also creating new business models and new ways of working together.
KEY MESSAGES
• Cloud computing is disrupting more than our technological norms. It is completely transforming the way businesses interact, people collaborate, and business models are designed.
• Both within and outside the IT sector, companies are capitalising on the changing landscape by using and offering cloud services. This allows them to meet customer expectations, operate in a more agile fashion,
and develop new revenue streams.
• As a result of these changes, companies are becoming both consumers and providers, sometimes simultaneously.
• New business models and changing customer expectations will lead to increased competition and declining revenue and profit opportunities
unless companies proactively change—and continue to change—their understanding of the market and their role in it.
• Survival—not to mention profitability and long-term viability—depends on a company's ability to transform its business models and go-to-market structures.
• Unfortunately, the majority of companies continue to pursue their traditional approaches, failing to satisfy customers and therefore missing out on revenue opportunities.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

5 Tech-Enabled Business Trends in 2017
The rapidly shifting technology environment raises serious questions on how to
help their companies capitalize on the transformation under way. Advancing
technologies and their swift adoption are upending traditional business models.
So, today we bring you Five Hottest Tech-Enabled Business Trends in 2017.
1. Distributed co-creation moves into the mainstream
In the past few years, the ability to organize communities of Web participants to
develop, market, and support products and services have moved from the
margins of business practice to the mainstream.
Companies are extending their reach by using the Web for word-of-mouth
marketing. P&G’s Vocalpoint network of influential mothers is a leading
example. Similarly, Facebook has marshaled its community for product
development. The leading social network recently recruited 300,000 users to
2. wwww.digitalerra.com
translate its site into 70 languages—the translation for its French-language site
took just one day. The community continues to translate updates and new
modules.
Finally, an organization must gain a high level of trust within a Web community
to earn the engagement of top participants.
2. Collaboration at scale
Across many economies, the number of people who undertake knowledge work
has grown much more quickly than the number of production or transactions
workers. There is broad interest in collaboration technologies that promise to
improve workers’ efficiency and effectiveness. While the body of knowledge
around the best use of such technologies is still developing, a number of
companies have conducted experiments, as we see in the rapid growth rates of
video and Web conferencing, expected to top 20 percent annually during the
next few years.
Last month, Amazon Web Services launched Chime, cloud-based software
designed to let business customers make voice or video calls, converse in chat
rooms, and hold web conferences from their mobile or desktop devices. It will
compete with the likes of Microsoft and Cisco who have a strong foothold in this
space.
3. The growing ‘Internet of Things’
Embedded with sensors, actuators, and communications capabilities, objects will
soon be able to absorb and transmit information on a massive scale and, in
some cases, to adapt and react to changes in the environment automatically.
These “smart” assets can make processes more efficient, give products new
capabilities, and spark novel business models.
3. wwww.digitalerra.com
As standards for safety and interoperability begin to emerge, some core
technologies for the Internet of Things are becoming more widely available. The
range of possible applications and their business impact have yet to be fully
explored.
Globally, India is the third largest startup ecosystem with nearly 500 IoT
startups. IoT analytics platform providers such as Petasense and IQLect, sound
based encrypted money transfer by ToneTag and IIT Chennai incubated speech
technology startup Uniphore were some of the names in the funding news.
4. Experimentation and big data
Big Data capturing and analyzing information is widely available at ever-lower
price points. But many companies are taking data use to new levels, using IT to
support rigorous, constant business experimentation that guides decisions and
to test new products, business models, and innovations in customer experience.
Web-based companies, such as Amazon.com, eBay, and Google, have been
early leaders, testing factors that drive performance—from where to place
buttons on a Web page to the sequence of content displayed—to determine
what will increase sales and user engagement. In some cases, the new
approaches help companies make decisions in real time. This trend has the
potential to drive a radical transformation in research, innovation, and
marketing.
Another example in in UK’s leading grocer Tesco. This brick-and-mortar retailer
gathers transaction data on its ten million customers through a loyalty card
program. It then uses the information to analyze new business opportunities—
for example, how to create the most effective promotions for specific customer
segments—and to inform decisions on pricing, promotions, and shelf allocation.
5. Imagining anything as a service

Technology now enables companies to monitor, measure, customize, and bill for
asset use at a much more fine-grained level than ever before. Asset owners can
therefore create services around what have traditionally been sold as products.
Business-to-business (B2B) customers like these service offerings because they
allow companies to purchase units of a service and to account for them as a
variable cost rather than undertake large capital investments. Consumers also
like this “paying only for what you use” model, which helps them avoid large
expenditures, as well as the hassles of buying and maintaining a product.
Consumer acceptance of Web-based cloud services for everything from e-mail
to video is of course becoming universal, and companies are following suit.
Innovating in services, where the end user is an integral part of the system
requires a mind-set fundamentally different from the one involved in designing
products. For instance, Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Project Service Automation
is an end-to-end solution for project-based businesses developed on an
everything-as-a-service delivery framework. This framework enables
organizations to leverage resources and skillsets across multiple modes of
service including self-service, assisted service, field service and project service
automation, and provides the ability to manage the customer service delivery
model through unified contracts and centralized customer engagement.
These trends transcend technology and provide a map of the terrain for creating
value and competing effectively in these challenging and uncertain times.
