LKCE18 Jesper Boeg - Your improvement potential is much bigger than you think...Lean Kanban Central Europe
Many people in Agile and IT talk about Toyota Kata, but it seems very few have tried it out for real at any scale or duration and actual cases are far between. In this presentation I will share my last 4 years of experience with Toyota Kata and especially the job of scaling it across all layers of a 700 people IT organization. How does it translate to a context where the flow of value is counted in days and not seconds? Where did we fail, what adaptions were made, what results did we achieve and why is it both more powerful and more difficult than any of us believed?
How to Improve Managing Stakeholders by Navigate Next Product ManagerProduct School
5 Practical Tips to Improve Managing Stakeholders:
As a product manager, you have to deal with stakeholders. But how do you do it? How do you persuade those that control your resources (people, budget, and systems) that your idea is worth investing in? What if this skill is the difference between a successful product manager and a mediocre one?
Alex McCarthy, Product Manager at Navigate Next, taught how to manage your stakeholders, how to craft your message, how to say “yes” and how to say “no” to senior leaders, and how to get the outcome you want. Influencing stakeholders can change the trajectory of your product – and your career.
How to Get to Know Your Users by Google's former Product ManagerProduct School
The single most important thing you can do as a Product Manager is to get a solid understanding of your users. Where are they? How many? What are their personas? Why do they currently use your product?
The user/customer is the basis of any business. So, how does one get a deeper understanding of who the user/customer is?
Vikram Chatterji, former Product Manager at Google, talked about how these methods vary based on company size, type (B2B, B2C), and proximity to end users.
Don’t Let Process Hold You Back: Best Practices for Cross-Functional Collabor...Tasktop
Creating great software takes many skilled people. There’s business requirements to fulfill, technical requirements to consider, development, testing, packaging, and the release.
While having a single cohesive process is crucial to helping all these teams work together, they’re often working in disparate systems with their own processes and workflows. What’s more, these teams are often spread across different departments, buildings and even time zones.
How can you ensure your teams stay in sync and create better processes that allow individual teams to move fast and be agile, while maintaining effective cross-team collaboration? In this webinar with GitLab, we discuss how establishing a ‘single source of truth’ is critical to functional collaboration, and cover the best practices for:
- Building processes that yield better results
- Keeping cross-functional teams in sync
- Integrating tools for better workflows
- Tips for remote teams

(Mis)understanding flow with metrics - Johan KarlssonHansoft AB
Much has been said about metrics but there is more to be said. Based on three pitfalls in how metrics are used today (they do not evolve, they carry a high cost and they cause flawed decisions) I will here try to outline what a great metric is. I will claim that this is so different from what we see today that I dare to call it a paradigm shift redefining both what a great metric is and that it is increasingly becoming a competitive advantage.

Accelerating Learning is the key to unlocking the true potential of Agile. Often organizations implement the process aspects of agile/scrum but fail to find the key to unlocking its true potential. In this session we will explore 6 traps agile teams fall into which prevent learning and how to overcome them. We will demonstrate how a potentially shippable product increment is the key and how breaking work down, swarming, limiting WIP, and getting to done are imperatives. By accelerating learning we believe most organizations can deliver double the value in half the time.

Growth: How to (Not) Lose Your Customers in 14 days by Box's Sr. Product ManagerProduct School
In this talk, the Box Sr. Product Manager talked about how to tackle quick wins, and then develop a longer term strategy for onboarding, sales channels, increasing marketshare for mostly enterprise software (can also dip into a bit of consumer).
The key points were:
1) Growth isn't just important for consumer facing software companies - it should be something that every technology company is thinking about from an engagement and revenue perspective.
2) Growth can range from sales channel optimization (both self-serve and enabling reps), marketing campaigns, building experiences for customers to demo your product, onboarding, matching users with the correct tools to get the most value from your company etc.
3) Experiment! Fail fast. Part of finding the best growth strategy is to try things out and A/B test experiences to see what is driving your core metrics.
Agility is about being adaptive. CRM is about being efficient. How do you apply Agile's key values to make the most out of your CRM? How do you drive your CRM deployment in an Agile way?
The predominant mindset around complex problem solving is decomposition; we inevitably jump to ways of ‘chunking up’ a solution. At Aginic, our experience of delivering hundreds of engaging data experiences is that this often misses a step that is crucial to creating compelling digital experiences: experimentation. In this talk we’ll describe how we have baked in experimentation to our ability to explore and navigate complex problem spaces and how this has helped deliver engaging outcomes for our customers.
This talk is a must for anyone tackling complex projects, particularly involving data.

This session will help you deepen client relationships so they never dream of going to anyone else.
Attendees will learn where they have gaps in their client relationships or with providing services, and will leave with a specific plan to fill the gaps and transform client relationships for good.
It’s a given that the work that Accounting firms do today will look very different in the future. New technologies are emerging that will allow practitioners to gain efficiencies and uncover insights in ways that are not possible now, and firms will need to adopt very different methods to attract and retain great talent and keep relationships with clients healthy and strong. At the same time, competition will come from all sides and the firms that can deliver services in a way that clients need and want will be the ones that survive. Chris Hooper, The Accounting Futurist, will examine the major trends that are likely to disrupt practices in the next decade, and will identify steps that firm owners of all sizes can take now to ensure their firm not only survives, but thrives in the exciting new world of tomorrow.

NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN CONDENSING HEAT EXCHANGERS...ssuser7dcef0
Power plants release a large amount of water vapor into the
atmosphere through the stack. The flue gas can be a potential
source for obtaining much needed cooling water for a power
plant. If a power plant could recover and reuse a portion of this
moisture, it could reduce its total cooling water intake
requirement. One of the most practical way to recover water
from flue gas is to use a condensing heat exchanger. The power
plant could also recover latent heat due to condensation as well
as sensible heat due to lowering the flue gas exit temperature.
Additionally, harmful acids released from the stack can be
reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation. reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation.
Condensation of vapors in flue gas is a complicated
phenomenon since heat and mass transfer of water vapor and
various acids simultaneously occur in the presence of noncondensable
gases such as nitrogen and oxygen. Design of a
condenser depends on the knowledge and understanding of the
heat and mass transfer processes. A computer program for
numerical simulations of water (H2O) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
condensation in a flue gas condensing heat exchanger was
developed using MATLAB. Governing equations based on
mass and energy balances for the system were derived to
predict variables such as flue gas exit temperature, cooling
water outlet temperature, mole fraction and condensation rates
of water and sulfuric acid vapors. The equations were solved
using an iterative solution technique with calculations of heat
and mass transfer coefficients and physical properties.

Hybrid optimization of pumped hydro system and solar- Engr. Abdul-Azeez.pdffxintegritypublishin
Advancements in technology unveil a myriad of electrical and electronic breakthroughs geared towards efficiently harnessing limited resources to meet human energy demands. The optimization of hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems plays a pivotal role in utilizing natural resources effectively. This initiative not only benefits humanity but also fosters environmental sustainability. The study investigated the design optimization of these hybrid systems, focusing on understanding solar radiation patterns, identifying geographical influences on solar radiation, formulating a mathematical model for system optimization, and determining the optimal configuration of PV panels and pumped hydro storage. Through a comparative analysis approach and eight weeks of data collection, the study addressed key research questions related to solar radiation patterns and optimal system design. The findings highlighted regions with heightened solar radiation levels, showcasing substantial potential for power generation and emphasizing the system's efficiency. Optimizing system design significantly boosted power generation, promoted renewable energy utilization, and enhanced energy storage capacity. The study underscored the benefits of optimizing hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems for sustainable energy usage. Optimizing the design of solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems as examined across diverse climatic conditions in a developing country, not only enhances power generation but also improves the integration of renewable energy sources and boosts energy storage capacities, particularly beneficial for less economically prosperous regions. Additionally, the study provides valuable insights for advancing energy research in economically viable areas. Recommendations included conducting site-specific assessments, utilizing advanced modeling tools, implementing regular maintenance protocols, and enhancing communication among system components.
Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.
