Agile is fantastic. Most of companies nowadays recognise that agile is not something that should to have, but is a thing that must to have. Many organisation tries to perform agile transformation. However, the question is what I should start from. In this presentation, I would like to share my own experience on what were first steps that I tried to do agile transformation at my team.
Developing a Strategic Analytics Framework that Drives Healthcare TransformationTrevor Strome
About the presentation.
Based on Chapter 3 of my book "Healthcare Analytics for Quality and Performance Improvement", this presentation describes the key components of a strategic analytics framework that can enable your healthcare organization to leverage data from source-systems to achieve its quality, safety, and performance improvement goals.
What is an analytics strategy?
Analytics is currently a very “trendy” topic. The internet is scattered with many buzzwords, marketing angles, white papers, and opinions on the topic of healthcare analytics. With all this “noise”, it is easy to get distracted from what is actually required, from an analytics perspective, by your organization. An analytics strategy helps cut through the noise and keep focus on what is important for the organization. Regardless of what the latest “buzz” is, your analytics strategy will enable your organization to Invest now for what is required now, and invest later for what is required in the future.
An analytics strategy helps ensure that analytics development and capabilities are in alignment with enterprise quality and performance goals and helps avoids the “all dashboard, no improvement” syndrome. Furthermore, a well formed strategy document helps to achieve optimal use of analytics within a healthcare organization and can mean the difference between a “collection of reports” versus a high-value information resource.
An analytics strategy can rarely stand on its own. In general, the analytics strategy should use as input an organization’s Quality Improvement (QI) strategy and should be used to inform an organization’s Business Intelligence (BI) or Information Technology (IT) strategy. The analytics strategy is an important input to technical strategies because analytics, after all, can involve a sophisticated use of data and technology. Requirements for analytics may trigger a cascade of enhancements throughout other components of IT and BI (i.e., reporting, data storage, ETL, etc)
The document is intended to accompany Chapter 3, “Developing an Analytics Strategy to Drive Change”, so please refer to the chapter for further information about developing an analytics strategy.
Games marketing has evolved significantly from early focus on box art over graphics to today's emphasis on visuals, new technologies, and social media. Early marketing sometimes misrepresented graphics, but now highlights them. It has expanded beyond TV to extensive online and social media presences. Emerging trends include augmented reality, social features within games, and downloadable content incentives for pre-orders.
This checklist documents the status of various blog tasks related to a media project, noting whether they are missing, unfinished, or complete. Many of the tasks are tagged under two units: UNIT02-AO3, which relates to analyzing media forms and products and representing meaning, and UNIT02-AO4, which relates to applying knowledge and understanding to a detailed media production.
This document provides a template for summarizing a TV drama series in a concise format. It outlines the key elements to describe including the genre, main characters and their roles, a typical episode structure, the overall series structure, and underlying themes or subtext of the show.
This document outlines four anti-piracy campaigns from 1980 to 2009 that aimed to curb copyright infringement of music and movies. The campaigns used posters and videos to convey that unauthorized copying and sharing hurts creators and should be avoided, with messages that home taping kills music, piracy is a crime, and consumers make the movie industry possible through legitimate purchases and views.

This document provides information about the "Be Creative" competition for UK students aged 11-19. The competition challenges students to create an original marketing campaign consisting of 2-3 posters that promotes one of four key messages: 1) the creativity and hard work that goes into making film and TV, 2) how copyright protects the future of the industry, 3) the industry's contribution to the UK economy, or 4) how film and TV can be worth paying for due to memorable moments. Winners will receive prizes including iPads and money for their school.

Vladimir Propp analyzed 400 Russian folk tales and found that they followed consistent character roles and narrative patterns. He identified 8 character roles including the hero, villain, and donor who aids the hero. He also identified 31 narrative functions that move the story along, such as the hero seeking something, the villain opposing the hero, and the donor providing magical assistance to the hero.
This document contains a checklist of blog tasks related to animation for different units. It includes tasks such as analyzing Mickey Mouse, creating hand-drawn and Photoshop bouncing ball animations, drawing walk cycles, facial expressions, and character sketches. The checklist tracks the status of tasks as missing, unfinished, or complete and includes relevant unit tags.
Propp was a Bulgarian theorist who analyzed over 400 Russian folk tales and found that they followed consistent character roles and narrative functions despite surface level differences. He identified 8 character roles - the hero who seeks something, the villain who opposes the hero, the donor who aids the hero, the dispatcher who sends the hero on a quest, the false hero who pretends to be the hero, the helper who assists the hero, the princess who is both a reward and target of the villain, and the father who will reward the hero.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like anxiety and depression.
The Dark Knight Rises is a film about Batman that involves him having to come out of retirement to save Gotham City once again from a new villain, Bane. Bane takes control of Gotham and causes problems that Batman must work to solve. New characters are introduced to help or hinder Batman as the plot progresses and the situation in Gotham changes from Bane's disruption to its resolution.
Narrative structure follows a pattern of cause and effect according to Todorov, with a state of equilibrium first being disrupted by some event or force. Todorov breaks the narrative process down into five stages - an initial state of equilibrium, a disruption of that equilibrium, recognition of the disruption, an attempt to repair the disruption, and finally a reinstatement of the initial equilibrium. This model is then applied to Batman, with each stage of Batman's narrative mapped to Todorov's five stage structure.

The document provides guidance for a film education poster presentation scheduled for December 17th. Students must present their poster project and design process for 5 minutes, followed by a Q&A session. The presentation should include an overview of the brief, research on past campaigns, design process such as audience feedback and drafts, and the final poster designs. Students are advised to use the listed points to document their full process on a blog and distill it into a concise yet engaging presentation. The goal is to have a developed blog, presentation, and winning poster designs by the end.
The document provides instructions over 3 sections for a project involving creating a parody poster based on Alfred Leete's famous Lord Kitchener WWI recruitment poster, including taking a photo mimicking Kitchener's pose and compositing it into a mock poster design, then posting to a blog and Flickr. It also tasks finding an admired artist's work to copy and post in the same manner.

This document summarizes and compares several female characters in horror games:
1) Ashley Graham from Resident Evil 4 is portrayed as a damsel in distress that Leon Kennedy must rescue, following him helplessly through dangerous areas.
2) Jill Valentine from Resident Evil 3 is a more proactive, skilled heroine who uses weapons and intelligence to fight monsters, though she is still designed for a male audience.
3) Alyssa Hamilton from Clock Tower 3 demonstrates both vulnerability as a target for monsters but also quick thinking and resourcefulness to survive dangerous situations without weapons.
This magazine cover is for issue 33 of Little White Lies magazine, focused on the film The Black Swan. The cover features a line drawing portrait of Natalie Portman from the film with scattered black feathers. This unconventional illustration style gives a handcrafted feel compared to a stock photo. The intense gaze of Portman draws the eye to the center of the composition. Bold use of typography places the magazine title over the image in a non-traditional layout. While the design stands out through its artistic style and surprising elements like the prominent barcode, it provides little information about the magazine's contents beyond its focus on "Truth & Movies."

1. "It was about a boy who investigates ghosts that live in pipes with his Grandad," says writer Jack Thorne of
From The Fades to Misfits - is the very early drafts of his BBC3 fantasy series The Fades. "It was shit". Fortunately the show that the Skins
youth drama leading the way? and This is England scriptwriter did eventually come to complete – the first episode of which aired last night
Ben Dowell Thursday 22 September 2011 – is weird, off the wall, annoying in places and with a bit too much wisecracking. But far from shit.
guardian.co.uk Instead The Fades is about a suburban schoolboy called Paul (Iain De Caestecker) who cannot help noticing
that the dead are far from dead and hang around his local streets and shopping centres. Paul's world soon
becomes beset by the frenetic attentions of Neil (Johnny Harris) – an avenging warrior against those rather cross undead who want to kill people. Neil looks as if
he's walked in off the set of Mad Max and his sidekick is an arse-kicking woman vicar played by Daniela Nardini. Did I say it was a bit out there?
Thorne's drama seems unafraid of tackling big ideas. With its godless dystopia where death and the afterlife are arbitrarily handed out to hapless humanity, the show
doesn't dodge big questions about life.
But the quality of The Fades doesn't put it in a category of its own when it comes to drama aimed at a younger audience. It is difficult not to watch BBC3 and E4 and
think channels which target the under 35s are emerging as among the best places for boldness and innovation in UK TV drama.
Not all the channels' output is brilliant. But E4's Misfits won the 2010 Bafta for best TV series as well as the 2010 Broadcast award for best new series. Skins, also a
multiple award winner, won the 2008 Bafta best drama award and a best drama Rose d'Or the same year. BBC3's Being Human, meanwhile, has won two Bafta best
drama nominations.
Kate Harwood, BBC controller of series and serials – who is also looking after some of the BBC's more conventional offerings for this year such as period dramas
Great Expectations and The Mystery of Edwin Drood – says youth drama is on a high. "You have an audience very open to great questions, great complexity and in
the case of dramas like The Fades a whole new mythology. They are very invigorating to make," she says.
Misfits executive producer Petra Fried agrees. For her, dramas such as Being Human and Misfits have to be inventive because of the audience. "Many of the terrestrial
channels don't want to scare off their audiences – but with smaller channels you need and want to challenge them. E4 and BBC3 audiences want to be poked and
not stroked."
Dramas aimed at younger viewers don't always have high concept Fried says – when Skins started it was basically a relationship drama about young people, but it
made waves because no one had really done anything like it before. "After that you had to be different – and luckily we were developing Misfits at a time when
Channel 4 were looking for a teen take on genre."
But the low budgets can also help, she notes. "You have to be constantly surprising and that is often achieved by budgetary restraints.You are forced to think of
inventive ways of doing stuff." For Fried, the unpopulated, barren look of Misfits was partly a creative decision but was because the production budget couldn't afford
many extras.
Ironically, Thorne, who has made most of his work for BBC3 and E4, is less sure about generalisations regarding drama aimed at younger viewers. "I just make the
best things I can really," he says. "I am 32 and I think one of the best dramas on TV in the past 20 years is Battlestar Galactica and that wouldn't describe itself as a
young people's show, it would say it was sci-fi. I would also say that the most ambitious drama last year was probably Five Daughters."
For Thorne, fantasy is enjoyed by all ages and it is the genre which allows these big questions to be asked and for writers to be able to "push the boat out".
"I don't sit there thinking that I am writing for a youth audience. In fact I reference a lot of films from the 1980s in The Fades, films such as A Nightmare on Elm
Street and Blade Runner, and I don't worry the audience are too young to get them. It's best not to judge an audience before they get a chance to enjoy it."
This may be special pleading and modesty from a man who has quite a following and quite a talent. It may also be the case that there is a lot of UK drama – from
Downton to The Shadow Line – that is on fine form at the moment. But there remains an exuberance and a wish to experiment with drama on E4 and BBC3 which
is enormously encouraging and a cause for great optimism.
