APIs for Teams, Creating Open Culture Bubbles
•
1 like•284 views
This document discusses how teams can create an open organizational culture. It defines an open organization as one characterized by transparency, inclusivity, adaptability, collaboration, and community. For teams, creating such a culture involves building APIs or adapters to loosely couple from a potentially hostile larger organization, or building allies and compatible ways of working to more strongly couple. Specific suggestions for teams include using physical space to radiate an open culture and inviting others to reviews and tours of work areas. High performing teams result from the supportive context provided by leadership.

DOES London - APIs for DevOps Teams, Creating Open Culture Bubbles
Getting technology choices right is less than half the battle, organisational change and technology delivery can be far more disruptive and difficult to deliver. Jeremy is a passionate believer in being default to open, whether that applies to code or culture. In his presentation, Jeremy discusses how high performing teams are the result of the context they operate in and by setting up the right open structures and environment you will accelerate your app development and DevOps experience. So the big question is: Can you bring the Open Organisation to your DevOps team and create APIs with the rest of the organisation?

Global CIO Banking Summit - Workshop Cultural Changes to Survive Digital Disr...
Title: Cultural changes required to be still standing in the aftermath of the Digital Disruption caused by Open Banking and PSD2
The UK and European Regulators have a goal of increasing competition in the banking market around PCA, BCA, SME Loans and Payments. They are effecting this through the CMA Remedies and PSD2 which impose near-term dates for Banks to expose their data and services publicly through APIs. New entrants and Third Party Providers, will seek to gain revenues and market share from established players using the APIs that banks have to provide at no cost. This will fundamentally change the competitive environment and banks need to have a strategy to compete in this digital market. This will require a change to their current people, process and technology which are not aligned to this dynamic digital market. Many banks will end up as a commoditised utility and only one or two will be the big winners in this wave of disruption. This talk will cover the open organisational culture Red Hat believes is needed to be on that (very) short list of digital winners.

APIdays Open Banking & Fintech: Workshop - Financial Services Use Cases for APIs
This was a fairly high level presentation I did at the APIdays Open Banking and Fintech event in London where I started to explore the main drivers for APIs, the mega trends in consumer banking and the various use cases for APIs within Financial Services.
Outside in thinking - How APIs can help open up your business
The document discusses how digital technologies are transforming businesses and industries. It notes that companies that fully embrace new technologies by rebuilding their businesses around them have been disruptive historically. It provides examples of companies from different industries that have become digital leaders by doing this, such as transforming from brick-and-mortar retailers to digital platforms. The document advocates that all companies need to think "outside in" by exposing their data and capabilities through application programming interfaces (APIs) to build vibrant internal and external developer ecosystems, which can help established companies transform into platform businesses leveraging their data and technologies.
Docker and DevOps - Why it matters

It talks about how business is changing fast and customer demands are different, driven by DevOps and continuous delivery. It advocates for innovating the development platform to accelerate getting products to market faster by understanding incoming data, integrating applications and data across the enterprise, and automating reactions to real-time business events. Docker and Fabric8 are mentioned as helping with these goals. The presentation concludes that everybody benefits in an automated enterprise with more innovation to the business through increased productivity and faster time-to-market.
An Introduction To The Red Hat Model
Jeremy Brown discusses Red Hat's open source business model and principles for selecting software. Some key points:
1. Red Hat's model is "community powered innovation" - it contributes to and leads many open source communities while also offering long term enterprise support subscriptions.
2. Jeremy's rules for selecting software emphasize proven solutions, long term support, predictable costs, minimizing lock-in, and not paying for upgrades.
3. For open source specifically, the size and growth of the community as well as licensing terms that allow forking are important factors.
Agile, DevOps, Continuous Delivery and Lean - How do you tie it all together ...
Jeremy Brown discusses how various cloud technologies like Agile, DevOps, Continuous Delivery and Lean can be tied together in Google Cloud. He proposes using OpenStack Heat, which allows defining infrastructure as code through templates, to orchestrate applications across different clouds and providers by providing a common API. Heat currently only supports OpenStack but could potentially support other clouds through adapters. This would allow full lifecycle management of infrastructure and applications in an automated way.
JBoss Enterprise Update - London JBUG May 2013
The document discusses changes to the JBoss Application Server project. It is being renamed to WildFly to reduce confusion over the different JBoss products. Key points include Java EE 7 support in WildFly 8, performance improvements for JPA and Hibernate, and a new non-blocking web server called Undertow. The release schedule for WildFly 8 alphas and betas is provided. Additionally, the Red Hat JBoss Developer Program is highlighted which provides access to enterprise binaries and forums to help developers.

m249-saw PMI To familiarize the soldier with the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon ...
M249 Saw marksman PMIThe Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW), or 5.56mm M249 is an individually portable, gas operated, magazine or disintegrating metallic link-belt fed, light machine gun with fixed headspace and quick change barrel feature. The M249 engages point targets out to 800 meters, firing the improved NATO standard 5.56mm cartridge. The SAW forms the basis of firepower for the fire team. The gunner has the option of using 30-round M16 magazines or linked ammunition from pre-loaded 200-round plastic magazines. The gunner's basic load is 600 rounds of linked ammunition. The SAW was developed through an initially Army-led research and development effort and eventually a Joint NDO program in the late 1970s/early 1980s to restore sustained and accurate automatic weapons fire to the fire team and squad. When actually fielded in the mid-1980s, the SAW was issued as a one-for-one replacement for the designated "automatic rifle" (M16A1) in the Fire Team. In this regard, the SAW filled the void created by the retirement of the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) during the 1950s because interim automatic weapons (e.g. M-14E2/M16A1) had failed as viable "base of fire" weapons.
Early in the SAW's fielding, the Army identified the need for a Product Improvement Program (PIP) to enhance the weapon. This effort resulted in a "PIP kit" which modifies the barrel, handguard, stock, pistol grip, buffer, and sights.
The M249 machine gun is an ideal complementary weapon system for the infantry squad platoon. It is light enough to be carried and operated by one man, and can be fired from the hip in an assault, even when loaded with a 200-round ammunition box. The barrel change facility ensures that it can continue to fire for long periods. The US Army has conducted strenuous trials on the M249 MG, showing that this weapon has a reliability factor that is well above that of most other small arms weapon systems. Today, the US Army and Marine Corps utilize the license-produced M249 SAW.

All the Small Things - XP2024 Bolzano/Bozen
Originally presented at XP2024 Bolzano
While agile has entered the post-mainstream age, possibly losing its mojo along the way, the rise of remote working is dealing a more severe blow than its industrialization.
In this talk we'll have a look to the cumulative effect of the constraints of a remote working environment and of the common countermeasures.
From Concept to reality : Implementing Lean Managements DMAIC Methodology for...
The Ready-Made Garments (RMG) industry in Bangladesh is a cornerstone of the economy, but increasing costs and stagnant productivity pose significant challenges to profitability. This study explores the implementation of Lean Management in the Sampling Section of RMG factories to enhance productivity. Drawing from a comprehensive literature review, theoretical framework, and action research methodology, the study identifies key areas for improvement and proposes solutions.
Through the DMAIC approach (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control), the research identifies low productivity as the primary problem in the Sampling Section, with a PPH (Productivity per head) of only 4.0. Using Lean Management techniques such as 5S, Standardized work, PDCA/Kaizen, KANBAN, and Quick Changeover, the study addresses issues such as pre and post Quick Changeover (QCO) time, improper line balancing, and sudden plan changes.
The research employs regression analysis to test hypotheses, revealing a significant correlation between reducing QCO time and increasing productivity. With a regression equation of Y = -0.000501X + 6.72 and an R-squared value of 0.98, the study demonstrates a strong relationship between the independent variables (QCO downtime and improper line balancing downtime) and the dependent variable (productivity per head).
The findings suggest that by implementing Lean Management practices and addressing key productivity inhibitors, RMG factories can achieve substantial improvements in efficiency and profitability. The study provides valuable insights for practitioners, policymakers, and researchers seeking to enhance productivity in the RMG industry and similar manufacturing sectors.
9 Ways Managers Kill Morale (and What to Do Instead)
This presentation, "The Morale Killers: 9 Ways Managers Unintentionally Demotivate Employees (and How to Fix It)," is a deep dive into the critical factors that can negatively impact employee morale and engagement. Based on extensive research and real-world experiences, this presentation reveals the nine most common mistakes managers make, often without even realizing it.
The presentation begins by highlighting the alarming statistic that 70% of employees report feeling disengaged at work, underscoring the urgency of addressing this issue. It then delves into each of the nine "morale killers," providing clear explanations and illustrative examples.
1. Ignoring Achievements: The presentation emphasizes the importance of recognizing and rewarding employees' efforts, tailored to their individual preferences.
2. Bad Hiring/Promotions & Broken Promises: It reveals the detrimental effects of poor hiring and promotion decisions, along with the erosion of trust that results from broken promises.
3. Treating Everyone Equally & Tolerating Poor Performance: This section stresses the need for fair treatment while acknowledging that employees have different needs. It also emphasizes the importance of addressing poor performance promptly.
4. Stifling Growth & Lack of Interest: The presentation highlights the importance of providing opportunities for learning and growth, as well as showing genuine care for employees' well-being.
5. Unclear Communication & Micromanaging: It exposes the frustration and resentment caused by vague expectations and excessive control, advocating for clear communication and employee empowerment.
The presentation then shifts its focus to the power of recognition and empowerment, highlighting how a culture of appreciation can fuel engagement and motivation. It provides actionable takeaways for managers, emphasizing the need to stop demotivating behaviors and start actively fostering a positive workplace culture.
The presentation concludes with a strong call to action, encouraging viewers to explore the accompanying blog post, "9 Proven Ways to Crush Employee Morale (and How to Avoid Them)," for a more in-depth analysis and practical solutions.

If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies. Both: team autonomy and shared broad product ownership are required to sustain true result-oriented organizational agility. Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.
