The document discusses the need for enterprises to become more agile in order to survive increasingly uncertain business environments. It notes a high failure rate of business strategies and inflexible IT systems. To achieve agility, the document recommends adopting lean and agile methods, loose coupling of systems, and continuous adaptation. An agile enterprise requires an agile information system that can change business models quickly through principles like innovative culture, systems thinking, and deciding and implementing changes as late as possible. The presentation provides an overview of the "Agile Banking" project, which aims to demonstrate an agile enterprise information system model.
Taming Feral Systems With APIs in Region Östergötland’s Digitalisation PlatformNordic APIs
Caregivers often have many “unofficial” healthcare IT-related systems and a growing number of external apps that meet important business needs but have vulnerable management or limited (sometimes non-existent) integration that lead to double documentation and make coordination difficult. The phenomenon is called “feral systems”. Even for health care providers with a strategy of trying to collect patient data into a few centrally decided and managed systems, we believe it is better to find ways to “tame” the feral systems than to try to eradicate hunting. The lecture shows how we want to support businesses that see a need for tailor-made solutions for things that are not adequately addressed by the main systems, with the help of various parts of the Östergötland Digitalisation Platform (RÖD).
What Is IT4IT? – An Introduction To A New Standard
The IT industry has long lacked a complete end-to-end management standard, one that includes architecture, project, portfolio, service, and operations management. It’s a challenge, one that the IT4IT standard has been designed to address. IT4IT is the first end-to-end, vendor-neutral reference model for IT management and its systems. This session will give you a comprehensive overview on the history, positioning, and content of IT4IT and show you how to make it a reality for your organisation.
Advanced traditional IT departments, with silos organised around deep disciplines, policies, and processes, won’t work for tomorrow’s world. Most IT departments with specialist groups that speak their own dialect, struggle to agree on shared goals and values. Because of this, it’s hard to deliver optimal business outcomes. This session will help you break down the barriers and harness the power of IT4IT, a high-level standard for managing the whole of IT with an enterprise service-centric architecture.
Knowledge Worker Enablement on Premises and in the CloudCapgemini
Knowledge work is becoming a key competitive differentiator in many industry segments.
This presentation discusses scenarios in three industries in which knowledge workers rely on Oracle on-premises and cloud technologies for support: the public sector using Oracle Business Process Management Suite (Oracle BPM Suite) and its Adaptive Case Management feature, Oracle Process Cloud Service, and Oracle Policy Automation for service requests from welfare customers; in the police sector using Oracle’s Siebel solutions, Oracle Policy Automation, Oracle Endeca solutions, Oracle BPM Suite and Adaptive Case Management, and the integration cloud; and in the mortgage handling sector using Oracle Service Cloud, Oracle Policy Automation, and Oracle Endeca solutions.

Defining a Digitalization Reference Architecture for the Pharma IndustryCapgemini
The rapid pace of technological advancement and an increasingly volatile business environment causes pharma industry players to face three main challenges. The first
challenge is to develop the critical ability to create and maintain a common view on the big picture of the organization’s architecture and environment. Linked to this is the challenge of making it decisible, which actions must be taken on strategical, business and technological level. The last challenge consists in identifying/considering the best
architectural approach and solution on a fine-grained level. This may include answer on question such as “Which approach we choose to implement a read replica in the cloud
(transactional replication using publish-subscribe between relational database systems, stream into a Redis Cache, …)?”
We develop a digitalization RA for pharma industry and incorporate three main areas, Internet of Things (IoT), Cognitive Computing (CC), and Augmented Reality (AR).
Digitalization is horizontally divisible into four sequentially arranged domains that can be understood as the stages of digitalization: Tag, Sense and Wire (1), Ingest (2), Analyze and Prepare (3), and Utilize (4). Technology components may be used across different industries. Applications developed and running in different industries may both interact or be integrated with each other and exchange data through these
industry-specific applications (cool chain monitoring while transportation, healthcare research data for public, origination & distribution information for authorities). For this reason, our frame possesses a third dimension: connected industries (in pharma these include transportation & logistics and the public sector). This approach generates a big picture that transparently illustrates the pharma RA for digitalization including its stages, architecture layers and connections between building blocks across organizational boundaries and different industries.

Cloud architecture with the ArchiMate LanguageIver Band
Today's commercial cloud platforms enable the migration of on-premises architectures to environments that offer increased flexibility, resilience, and security. These platforms also offer innovative managed services that enable architects, designers and developers to focus on business logic and user experience rather than underlying infrastructure.
Enterprise Architects can use the ArchiMate language to guide the use of cloud platforms to meet business and technical goals. This presentation models an architecture based on a leading cloud platform. The model uses all layers and aspects of the ArchiMate language as well as its customization mechanisms, which express vendor-specific platform elements and relationships. It provides an appreciation of the depth and versatility of the ArchiMate 3.0 language, and an introduction to developing architectures that use commercial cloud platforms.

As many industries, banking is undergoing a fundamental change because of the software revolution. No longer are banks competing only on interest rates and having the best traders, these days customer experience and having the best engineers are the focus. In this changing world, banks compete with new start-ups, the so-called Fintechs, and with large platform organisations such as Google, Facebook and Apple. At ING, we believe that staying ahead of the game means changing how we interact with our customers, no longer a traditional model of waiting for the customers to come to the bank through our website or apps, but to actively reach out to the customer with information that is relevant to him or her in order to make their financial life frictionless. Many of these changes are driven by reacting to all events that are relevant to the customer, and using streaming analytics to be able to reach out to the customer in milliseconds after the event occurs. Apache Flink is key for ING to achieve this. This presentation addresses how ING approaches the challenge, the role that Apache Flink plays, and the consequences regulations have on how we work with Open Source in general, and with Apache Flink (and data Artisans) in particular. This keynote takes place at Kino 3.

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
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.
Strategies for Effective Upskilling is a presentation by Chinwendu Peace in a Your Skill Boost Masterclass organisation by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan on 08th and 09th June 2024 from 1 PM to 3 PM on each day.

Agile enterprise
1. Based on a presentation given to
“19th Banking Forum 2014”
Athens, Feb 12 - 13, 2014
Nikos Karamolegos
2. While the presentation addresses
the Enterprises, in general, the
examples are from the Banking
domain.
2
3. The Business landscape
1. High failure rate of Strategy execution (> 70%)
2. The majority of Information Systems, evolved from older ones, are
inflexible complex systems (high risk and cost)
3. “Business – IT” are not alignment
4. Any change in systems increases disproportionately the operational
risk
5. Many big enterprises are approaching their level of unmanageability
6. Highly competitive market, with high-tech companies to penetrate
all domains
7. The digital products and services dominate the market
8. Technology affects all societies, sciences, markets and businesses
9. Enterprises have to adapt to new and unknown business models.
3
We have entered the era of “Accelerating changes” leading to “Increasing Uncertainty”, “Rapid
obsolescence” and “Continuous reshuffling” where survival is a competitive advantage.
4. Agility
We must drive, faster and faster, on an unknown road, on a mountain,
in a storm with thick fog. To survive we must be AGILE.
4
Agility is the capability to
react efficiently to surprises
1. Detail plans
2. Detail design
3. Advance Commitment
XThe “Agile Enterprise” is something totally
different from what we have now!
5. Theory and Practice
• Agility is, possibly, the most valuable capability in order to survive in the fast
changing environment.
• Theory and patterns: We continue to study the “Toyota way”. There is no sound
theory and tested approach. Only steps toward this direction.
• Practice:
• There are already many tools and methods to support the implementation of the “Agile
Enterprise”.
• Transforming an established and conservative organization to Agile Enterprise is a very
challenging project, since it has to change culture, before anything else.
• The transformation should be a long running project, that needs strong commitment.
5
6. Agility Principles
1. Innovative culture
2. Systems Thinking
3. Apply Lean and Agile Methods
4. Separation of Concerns and Loose coupling
5. Decide as late as possible
6. Implement very fast, the most critical part

15. The scope of the Project
• The “Agile Banking” project is primarily educational,
intending to:
1. facilitate the common understanding, on Enterprise
Systems, between Business and Technical people and the
establishment of an ubiquitous language.
2. suggest a road map and raise issues towards the Enterprise
Agile System.
3. setup a working environment for the development and
operation of the suggested system, giving the chance to
participants to touch a range of technologies and methods.
4. allow participants understand that the Enterprise Systems
are beyond the capabilities of a single person and only with
a well organized team we can deliver in this area.
5. allow participants realize the strategic value of the
Enterprise Architecture.
6. Finally, the participants should actively contribute in the
evolution of their Enterprise.

18. API Management
• API is the Window and Shopping Catalog for modern Enterprises.
• REST API, based on HTTP request/response standard
• API is self documented, constantly current.
• API is published as a complete repository, on demand, and as Hypermedia
Links in each HTTP response.
• API allows devices, partners and channels easy link with the system.
• It allows the system and the users to change without break compatibility.
• API is protected for unauthorized use.

24. Conclusions
1. Agility is a “must have” trait, to survive in the era
of the increasing uncertainty.
2. The Agile Enterprise should be able to change
business model, not only products, policies,
channels etc.
3. Agility demands Enterprise Architecture and
innovative corporate culture.
4. An Agile Enterprise should be founded on an
Agile Enterprise Information System.
5. We cannot build an Agile System in a non-Agile
Enterprise.
