London’s annual Chinese New Year celebrations, the biggest in the world outside China, bring a great swathe of Chinatown to riotous life.
14 is the Year of the Horse. The Chinese horoscope tells us that those born in 'horse' years are cheerful, skilful with money, perceptive, witty, talented and good with their hands.
Employees at any level have always struggled between wanting to be their own boss in some capacity. The dream (for some) is to be able to work with a large degree of autonomy from the “boss”, in small teams that are personable, collegial and non-hierarchical. This setup is required in situations when things move fast and coordination is difficult or impossible. However, let’s hope it is not because the organization lacks inspirational leadership.
A typical case is a business development team that has been assigned the creation of new business entity in an overseas market. It is entrusted to be entrepreneurial, do the right thing, and adapt to local circumstances. How do you ensure this decentralized team does not reinvent the wheel, make choices that are inconsistent with the company brand, or miss out on opportunities to capture scale economies?
Effective decentralization is thus found in cohesive decentralization. First of all, amount organizational expectations. When a team is given decisional power, upper management should expect that they thoroughly inform themselves on and follow into the “grand scheme”. The team would immediately inform management about any issues that arise, come to them for advice, and take responsibility for corrective action and final results. Effective upward management means involving seniors for maximum effect, rather than keeping them at bay.
Cohesive decentralization is also about strengthening the fabric that keeps everything together, so that the whole organization can fly formation instead of all over the map. We’ve identified the seven key factors that bind teams for success, ensuring each team can thrive and survive within a larger team.
Overview for the possibilities when it comes to developing an application for the android platform. The slides start with covering the native option, continutes with covering the hybrid option and concludes with comparing between the two.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

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.
