AWS PE Transformation Advisor program overview
Assigns a dedicated PE Transformation Advisor to the executive cloud sponsor (CxO or similar) for an 8-to-12-week engagement that can be further extended as needed. The PE Transformation Advisor aids the executive in value creation by removing transformation blockers, securing buy-in from the executive team, influencing the board, adapting business processes in support of cloud, and preparing the broader organization for the digital transformation.
During the engagement, the PE Transformation Advisor provides prescriptive guidance to define the transformation tenets and guiding principles, assist developing the business case, produce the cloud journey map, establish the Cloud Center of Excellence (CCoE), document KPIs, identify partners, and define the Cloud Operating Model (COM).
Emerging Trends in Hybrid-Cloud & Multi-Cloud StrategiesChaitanya Atreya
As Cloud Computing rapidly evolves, newer deployment strategies such as Hybrid-Cloud, Multi-Cloud and On-Prem Cloud are emerging. More and more enterprise solution providers are offering support for a combination of these deployment targets. It is imperative that the larger organizations have a clear Hybrid-Cloud and Multi-Cloud strategy to avoid cloud lock-in and to de-risk business decisions.
What do each of these terminologies mean? What is the scope of each and overlap if any? We will discuss the emerging best-practices across these interdisciplinary trends, especially in the context of Modern Data and Analytics Platforms and Enterprise Self-Service.

Reducing Unwanted Variation in Healthcare Clears the Way for Outcomes Improve...Health Catalyst
According to statistician W. Edwards Deming, “Uncontrolled variation is the enemy of quality.” The statement is particularly true of outcomes improvement in healthcare, where variation threatens quality across processes and outcomes. To improve outcomes, health systems must recognize where and how inconsistency impacts their outcomes and reduce unwanted variation.
There are three key steps to reducing unwanted variation:
Remove obstacles to success on a communitywide level.
Maintain open lines of communication and share lessons learned.
Decrease the magnitude of variation.

Screenager++ : Indonesia digital consumer survey 2016 - AccentureAccenture ASEAN
Screenagers own multiple digital devices and have insatiable appetite for real-time information, new experiences, and constant connectivity. And they cut across age groups.
In this report, Accenture surveyed 1,000 respondents in Indonesia and identified five trends in its digital consumer market. They are 1) The multiplier effect, 2) You, me & IoT, 3) Lost in transmission, 4) The way you make me feel, and 5) The brand engagement.
Communications, media and technology companies need to have a profound understanding of this important customer to stay ahead. They need to deliver a safe and unique brand experience, a clear value proposition, and user interaction that meets or exceeds the ever-increasing expectations of screenagers.

Five Strategies for Easing the Burden of Clinical Quality MeasuresHealth Catalyst
Healthcare systems need to view regulatory measures in a different light. Rather than approaching them as required processes that burden the system, they should be viewed as quality improvement opportunities that lead to best practices. It helps to have a strategy to get there:
Prioritize measures that truly impact patient care
Have a line-of-sight to reimbursement
Understand measure alignment across programs
Involve the right people
Get involved in measure development upstream
The right tools also help, but a plan for success is advised for healthcare system administrators and clinicians who need to ease the reporting burden and take advantage of every measure in a positive way.
Data Lake vs. Data Warehouse: Which is Right for Healthcare?Health Catalyst
The data lake style of a data warehouse architecture is a flexible alternative to a traditional data warehouse. It allows for unstructured data. When a warehousing approach requires that the data be in a structured format, there are constraints on the analyses that can be performed because not all of the data can be structured early. The data lake concept is very similar to our Late-Binding approach in that data lakes are our source marts. We increase the efficiency and effectiveness of these through: 1. Metadata, 2. Source Mart Designer, and 3. Subject Area Mart Designer.

The on-demand provision of computer services, including servers, storage, databases, networking, software, and analytics, is known as cloud computing. Cloud-based storage enables distant file saving as opposed to local storage or proprietary hard disk storage. Due to its ability to provide cost savings, enhanced productivity, speed and efficiency, performance, and security, cloud computing is becoming more and more popular among individuals and enterprises.

The Ultimate Guide to Cloud Migration - A Whitepaper by RapidValueRapidValue
Digital transformation based on cloud-first strategy is a marathon. Any transformation journey which is disruptive and requires changing the core foundation of the organization can be very challenging. It is bound to fail unless the journey is planned with specific goals in mind, right roles and resources allocated to it, ‘as-is’ to ‘to-be state’ is mapped and implementation engine is fine-tuned.
Based on the experience of implementing numerous transformation projects for our global clients, RapidValue has formulated a BRAVE framework for cloud-first digital transformation.

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.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
