Becoming an exponential organization in an Age of DisruptionRob van Alphen
Any company designed for success in the 20th century is doomed to failure in the 21st.
It used to take 20 years to make a billion-dollar company – Slack took 8 months. An Exponential Organization (ExO) is one whose impact is at least 10X larger compared to its peers because of the use of new organizational techniques that leverage emerging technologies. Let's take a look at the key attributes of a 10X company and the steps to retrofit your organization for exponential growth.

The Journey to 2025 - A Decade of Discovery by Rohit Talwar 21/12/14Rohit Talwar
Our world is being transformed by rapid advances in sciences and technology that are touching every aspect of our lives. So what changes could these developments bring about for life as we know it? We only have to look around us to see just how much can change in a relatively short space of time.
Including Human 2.0, National Sovereignty, Corporate Giants, Financial Services, Brain Uploading, Immersivity, Mixed Reality Living, Robotics, AI, & the Internet of Life
The 10x Effect - Unlocking the Business Transforming Secrets of Exponenital10x Nation
Our world is on the precipice of a major paradigm shift in business.
The age of cumbersome corporate giants is coming to a close. And the age of the agile exponential business is coming online.
The pace and scope of growth in technology has made the status quo model of scarcity-centered business almost completely obsolete.
On the flip side, these ever-accelerating technologies are allowing abundance-minded businesses to do far more with far less.
Embracing exponential practices like cloud computing, crowd-sourcing, and staff-on-demand have allowed a new generation of companies to experience unprecedented growth, scalability, and agility.
But how can embracing these exponential changes affect positive change in your business?

Oportunidades y riesgos creados por las disrupciones tecnológicasESPAE
Durante la próxima década la aceleración de las innovaciones digitales, golpeará a todos los negocios establecidos y exitosos con enormes disrupciones, creando oportunidades que lamentablemente no sabrán, en su mayoría, aprovechar.
Esta nueva realidad creara nuevos espacios para Startups ágiles y dinámicas que podrán capturar la oportunidad de crear nuevo valor económico y social.
En esta conferencia el Profesor invitado de ESPAE, Carlos Baradello, podrá conectar las tecnologías emergentes de Silicon Valley con la realidad empresarial de América Latina.
Global socio-economic, demographic and technological forces that HP calls Megatrends will have a sustained and transformative impact on businesses, societies, economies, cultures and our personal lives in unimaginable ways in the years to come.

**Please note this presentation was developed prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, so although we don’t address it directly, we do speak to the innovations and solutions that exist beyond it. We hope this knowledge opens a window of hope and possibility to what awaits us on the road ahead.
Connected World 2019 - chair's opening commentsDavid Terrar
My slides setting the scene for the Connected World Summit 2019 an event covering Emerging Technology for Smart Cities, Connected Places & Tomorrow's Digital World. I covered how we live in exponential times. There has never been a time of greater promise of greater peril. We are dealing with a digital enterprise wave that, with AI, 5G, IoT and Blockchain is turning in top a Digital Tsunami. We are creating data faster than ever, but watch the numbers game and make sure you get your facts and ideas straight. Just like the parable of the 6 blind men and the elephant, everyone sees the connected world topic differently.

Digital Disruption and the UK Banking System
The widely-held belief that for-profit investments can only maximize financial returns and social purpose can only be pursued through charity—is obsolete. For the next generation, value has to be created and shared across both sectors and by everyone. Creating shared value however, can not happen through silos of social responsibility or philanthropy, it has to be a values-based investment which is why crowdfunding, pay-for-success, venture philanthropy, impact investing and other social finance vehicles are becoming so powerful.
Digital Anarchy: The Bitcoin Effect examines the potential to democratize financial exchanges by providing digital access to capital. Though one-third of humanity remains unbanked, remarkably more than one billion of these people has access to a mobile phone and thus could use bitcoin (or a derivative thereof) to participate financially. Considering the framework of “humanitarian” capitalism, the fact that bitcoin does not require a central authority to qualify or limit the participation of another human being is an important differentiator to fiat and bank-controlled instruments. This presentation argues that the innovation of bitcoin and the blockchain not only has the capacity to build registries of multi-entity contracting, it also offers the potential to create self-enforcing “smart contracts” between free individuals. Ultimately, the transparency of the blockchain has the potential to end corruption and empower a free society.

11th Annual NH3 Fuel Conference, September 22, 2014
ABSTRACT
The talk will show why food security is as important as national security, and how the transition from brown NH3 to green NH3 (produced with renewable energy and without carbon) is necessary for food security. This transition will set the stage for green NH3 to be used for energy storage and then a fuel source.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
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.
