Workplace learning loses unless we engage learnersBert De Coutere
In today’s workplace, we support our employees to be engaged and active learners. In a constantly changing business environment, constant learning makes our careers and our businesses future-proof. The reality however is different from the dream: in today’s workplace we are busy being busy, and learning loses out - often unintentionally. In this session for anyone involved in corporate learning, we will together: - assess the reality of today’s workplace learning: - explore the bad habits and biases that stand in the way of learning more: - get inspiration to set up experiments to engage our learners for action. (From oeb.global conference, Nov 2019)
How can focus help our business, our teams, ourselves? This presentation disassembles the difficulty we have in achieving various kinds of focus (vision, goal, users, pragmatism, attention, calm) and gives practical tips on how to approach and improve each of them.

Management is dead, at least traditional management is. No need to tell you what’s wrong with traditional management, you’ve probably experienced it yourself. And the results are outrageous, be it at company level, team level, and individual level; downright from project failures to complete demotivation of the staff.
Managers need to evolve, or they simply won’t survive if they don’t bring solutions to the above problems. From traditional management to … Agile management and leadership. You, as an experienced manager or as a wannabe/junior manager, are in a key position to change this.
By attending this 60-minutes talk, you’ll (re-)discover proven and actionable techniques to improve your management skills, foster team productivity, and keep morale and motivation atop. Yes, success is that close ;-)
Delegating is hard. It's even harder when we keep anchoring ourselves to old ideas of what management is and what skills requires, without realizing how different is the job of a manager. And then, we become managers ourselves. One of the hurdles that every manager has to overcome at some point in their career, often very early, is the ability to delegate and manage this delegation. This talk will look into the various delegation issues, and how we can revise the idea of management in a new light to acquire new tools to succeed.

Leading in VUCA: Principals for Emerging Leaders Eva McLellan
Many new graduates will be walking into industries and organizations that are in the throes of VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity). The leading expertise and perspective from tmany graduate programs will be a brilliant foundation. At the same time VUCA requires new attitudes and new skills, many of which are non-traditional and some of which are downright counter-intuitive. In this presentation I share a set of principles for thriving in the new VUCA-based healthcare environment that she has observed among the strongest and most inspiring leaders.
New Models of Purpose-Driven Exploration in Knowledge WorkWilliam Evans
The last 20 years have been a period of radical disruption and transformation in knowledge work. The "why, what, and how" of new value creation and delivery in knowledge-intensive work is shifting and the power has moved from the center to the edges. In his talk, Evans will explore the emergence of new methods of exploration, abductive ideation, and empirical validation that is changing how value creation happens. The very idea first introduced by Buckminster Fuller, when he said that everything was becoming ephemeralized—doing "more and more with less and less until eventually you can do everything with nothing"—or more recently when Marc Andreessen said, "software is eating the world," has had a direct impact on information-seeking and information-synthesizing behaviors. Evans will unpack how many of these models and methods are really the exaptation of Lean, Systems Thinking, and Design Thinking principles, transplanted from the world of manufacturing into the ephemeral world of knowledge work and knowledge management. He'll finish by showing how these models can frame the challenges posed by sense-making (experiential) change in knowledge work.
Will Evans explores the convergence of practice and theory using Lean Systems, Design Thinking, Theory of Constraints, and Service Design with global enterprises from NYC to Berlin to Singapore. As Chief Design Officer, he works with a select group of clients undergoing Lean and Agile transformations across the entire organization. Will earned his Jonah® from AGI, and serves on the Board of Advisors for Rutgers CX (Customer Experience) Program. Formerly, he was Design Thinker-In-Residence at NYU Stern.
The ability to grow (and shrink) according to the needs and the available resources is an essential part of designing applications. In this talk we'll cover the fundamental elements of scalability, including aspects involving people, processes and technology. With sound and proven principles and some advice on how to shape your organisation, set the right processes and design your application, this session is a must-see for developers and technical leads alike.

[SAMPLE MATERIALS] Exploration x Design presents Creative Facilitation Exploration x Design
Design Thinking is a process for problem solving through creative methodologies. Facilitators are required at every step of the process in order to focus the project team on specific tasks. The role of facilitator is not project management or a directorship.
In many ways, Creative Facilitation inverses how we learn. Instead of presenting material and instructing participants to absorb and memorize; creative facilitation asks participants to provide content from their own understanding and experiences. Participants are challenged to learn from eachother by working in small groups of diverse skills, backgrounds and abilities. They have to create something through creative activities and collaboration.
This 2-hour workshop provides the following:
- Planning a Creative Work Session
- Case Study & Discussion: Examples of Ideation Sessions
- Principles of Creative Facilitation
- Activity: Planning Your Next Session
- Q&A
Presentation discusses the challenges and opportunities that organisations are facing in moving to the next generation of eLearning. We discuss Social Learning & DIY in Part II.

Technical debt is a systemic problem - not a personal failingDeclan Whelan
This is a presentation Chris Chapman I delivered at the Toronto Agile Conference 2017. We take a 'systems thinking' view of technical debt.
The premise is that mounting technical debt is a not a problem ... it's a system problem. We depict system problems using causal loop diagrams and propose steps, via balancing loops, to shift the system to a healthier state.
We use the term 'technical health' to describe this systems view of technical debt.
From Technical Debt to Technical HealthDeclan Whelan
Everyone agrees that technical debt is a burden on software innovation that we would rather avoid, and certainly clean up whenever possible. However, in most organizations, people don't prevent technical debt nearly as much as they should, and they don't ever get the time to clean it up. Why, then, if there are clear incentives to deal with technical debt, is it a rampant problem?
In this session, we will focus on how to deal with technical debt on several levels, including the individual developer, the team, the software value stream, and the larger organization. While technical debt may manifest itself in a developer's IDE, the problem starts long before the developer decides to copy and paste some code, or creates an overly-complex and under-documented class. The pressures on teams and individuals to take on more debt than they should come from many sources. Therefore, the solutions to the technical debt problem must extend beyond the team.
Many organizations adopting Agile fail to bring about lasting change. This is often because Agile is seen as a developer team "methodology". Effective Agile adoption depends on aligning the adoption strategy with the value stream across the organization. In this talk, Declan will introduce the Agile Fluency model as a mechanism for targeting an Agile adoption to the realities of your organization. Along the way we will talk about aligning your organizational structure with your organization's purpose and the importance of managing technical debt.
This is a rough presentation from my notes for the SDEC 2015 conference.
The basic premise is that Big Balls of Mud result from rampant technical debt. And the cost of technical debt is large.
I believe that the forces driving us to repeatedly build big balls of mud are strong. And while technical craftsmanship is necessary to address it, by itself it is insufficient. I explore some root causes through the use of system archetypes.
Finally, I suggest some remedial steps for dealing with technical debt based on the quadrant from Martin Fowler.
Thanks for checking this out!
Einstein said "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them" yet many organizations that want to adopt Agile end up using existing organizational structures to make it happen. That is, they create a centralized team to roll Agile out, define metrics, create a dashboard, communication and training plan and finally a Sharepoint site to push the change outwards. The outcome ends up being another failed Agile transformation story because people either resisted change or they failed to change their organizational culture. This isn't an 'Agile' problem, it's a structure problem. The real issue is that organizational structures are designed to serve the internal purposes of the organization, not their customers or the value they create for their customers. In this session we'll explore why 'being Agile' only gets you so far.
Domain Driven Design and Hexagonal Architecture with RailsDeclan Whelan
You know that Domain Driven Design, Hexagonal Architecture, and the Single Responsibility Principle are important but it’s hard to know how to best apply them to Rails applications. Following the path of least-resistance will get you in trouble. In this session you will learn a way out of the “fat model, skinny controller” hell. You will leave with a roadmap to guide your design based on concepts from Domain Driven Design and Hexagonal Architecture.
A powerful phrase we learn as agile coaches is to “*release the outcome!*”. In other words, coaching is most effective when we distance ourselves from the final outcomes. Instead, we should focus on helping those we are coaching, visualize and achieve the outcomes that are important to them.
But many of us are Scrum Masters, managers, executives or in similar positions where we have a vested interest in outcomes. So, how do we effectively coach when we have such a bias?
In this session you will learn and practice a powerful conversation tool that allows you to maintain a coaching stance when outcomes are personally important to you. This will allow you to build trust and align others around shared outcomes resulting in win-win situations. Many people also find this conversational tool to be very useful in their personal lives.
Presentation at Agile 2012
Experience and research shows that developers spend as much as 70% of their time reading and understanding code. In this workshop you will learn how the rules of Simple Design help to reduce this percentage so you spend more time creating valuable code. This will be a highly collaborative workshop where you share your insights and learn from others. You’ll get to the heart of Simple Design by reviewing code - both beautiful and ugly. You’ll get to practice by improving the readability and understandability of real code. You’ll leave this workshop ready to apply Simple Design to improve your own code.
Agile Testing: The Role Of The Agile TesterDeclan Whelan
This presentation provides an overview of the role of testers on agile teams.
In essence, the differences between testers and developers should blur so that focus is the whole team completing stories and delivering value.
Testers can add more value on agile teams by contributing earlier and moving from defect detection to defect prevention.
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

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.
