Future Tech: How should enterprise avoid the 'success trap' of the next big t...Livingstone Advisory
The rate of business and societal change fuelled by innovative, emerging and disruptive information technologies is well known, with impacts being felt in almost every facet of life. The forces driving the evolution and adoption of such technologies are complex, diverse and not always well understood. How can organisations predict the consequences of future tech? How should they fortify against the chaos of change while taking advantage of innovation?
This public lecture provides a concise perspective on the implications of emerging technologies and offers practical insights on how many enterprises and individuals survive, and also thrive, in a world of rapid technology-induced change.

Policy Brief Abstract ICT has an immediate and broad impact on the lives of most individuals. Ethical scrutiny is not well established. Existing ethics review mechanisms are not suited for many of the ethical issues that ICT is likely to cause in the future. Europe has the unique opportunity to show international leadership by pointing the way to how human rights, ethical values and moral norms can be explicitly considered in technology development. The ETICA project (Ethical Issues of Emerging ICT Applications, GA 230318) provides the basis for a new enlightened approach to the development, governance and use of emerging ICT.

Two of the main current challenges faced by society are the growing urbanization and ageing of population. ICTs play a key role helping us addressing these socioeconomic problems which are paramount for our future progress. Firstly, this talk will overview the opportunities and strengths brought forward by ICT democratization in all societal sectors to make cities more age-friendly, sustainable, productive and satisfying environments. On the other hand, it will also review the weaknesses and threats associated to the increasing adoption of ICT to face these societal challenges. For instance, it will review the need to capture and process personal information to offer assistance services and ease decision making in cities, together with the threats to privacy that personal data management may cause. Several European projects facing the challenges of Sustainable and Inclusive Cities will be described in order to illustrate the high potential of this idea. Both their scientific-technological contributions and their economic potential will be overviewed, highlighting the potential of the Silver Economy – the new market opened to address the progressive societal ageing. Secondly, this talk will give further details about three core pillars to make reality this idea of more elderly-friendly ambient assisted cities, namely Internet of Things, Big Data and higher stakeholder participation and collaboration. Through use cases extracted from European projects, examples of novel personal health devices connected to Internet, new ways to correlate and process information in order to enhance decision-making and emerging approaches to make elderly people to have a higher involvement and engagement in aspects related to personal autonomy and their higher societal involvement will be provided. Finally, the talk will conclude exemplifying how Spanish administrations are addressing ageing problems through smart healthcare technologies.
Este capítulo trata da abordagem sociotécnica a ser considerada na implementação e na manutenção da segurança de informações em uma organização. Em geral, apenas os aspectos técnicos são levados em conta pelos profissionais de tecnologia da informação. Esses aspectos técnicos geram no dia-a-dia da organização um processo de segurança que se asseme¬lha a um conjunto de regras sem conexão entre si. Por essa razão, o processo não é internalizado pelos usuários. Levar em conta os aspectos sociotécnicos significa tanto abordar de forma completa o assunto segurança como incrementar a possibilidade da existência de um processo contínuo, que acompanhe e proteja os recursos de informação durante os estágios de crescimento e os momentos de dificuldade da organização. Significa, enfim, criar uma estrutura para a segurança e o controle de sistemas de informação.

This paper has been invited to be published by the Springer LNBIP series/2014 and so, it is an improved version from those version accepted for presentation at the Fifth Pre-ICIS workshop on ES Research, St Louis/USA 2010 (*). The paper considers some challenges and reflections concerned with Information and Knowledge/Wise Societies and Sociotechnical Systems. After a brief and innovative panorama on the information and knowledge/wise societies and sociotechnical system we present the core of this work: challenges and reflections related with our society and systems. For some of these challenges and reflections has been proposed answers such as: treatment of the organization as a living being → synergism & collaborative ecosystem research efforts; a unfair shared leadership, information partnership and a collaborative relationship in the age of knowledge and, a new way of development, which comprises the social, economical, cultural and environmental spheres leading us to a new model of perception and knowledge of the world & present financial crisis; …Our world is fundamentally a sociotechnical world, which is characterized by Human and technological interactions; Human organizations are living systems and should be analyzed accordingly; Their interactions drastically affect people relationships in space and time. If we consider that the core knowledge is embodied in people’s heads (tacit knowledge), and their abilities to utilize them generate new knowledge, we cannot speak about knowledge/wise society without taking into account these interactions. Since the Internet brings together the computer, media, and the distributed intelligence of the family and the community, constituting a new basis for the effectiveness of socio-technical organizations then, in this way, beyond the economic, organizational, cultural, and technological dimensions, the specific sociotechnical context characterizes every knowledge/wise society initiatives: synergism and ubiquitously driven by the Internet! However, management opposition persists, because sociotechnical system by nature enables collaborative decision-making and shared leadership. Management has been reluctant to give up the power and authority they have worked so hard to establish. Sociotechnical system challenges the traditional management taboos that of sharing information and knowledge with subordinates on a need to know basis only. The central corner stone of a technocratic bureaucracy is ...
Avaliação de sistemas de informação hospitalares constitui a temática deste artigo que tem como objetivo mapear o parque tecnológico existente em organizações hospitalares públicas e filantrópicas do estado de Santa Catarina e identificar a forma com que seus dirigentes realizam a gestão dos sistemas de informação. Esta pesquisa integra o projeto de pesquisa GESITI/Hospitalar Nacional (Avaliação da Gestão de Sistemas e Tecnologias da Informação em Hospitais) em desenvolvimento pelo Centro de Tecnologia da Informação Renato Archer (CTI), uma unidade do Ministério da Ciência, Tecnologia e Inovação (MCTI).

“AN EVALUATION OF THE MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM AND TECHNOLOGY IN HOSPITALS” (GESITI/HOSPITALS). MAP UPDATED: APRIL 02, 2013.
Abstract.
The Center for Information Technology Renato Archer (CTI), located at Campinas/SP/Br, is a unit of the Ministry of Science and Technology (MCT) and, is coordinating a research project involving several universities, from Brazil and abroad. The research project “Management of System and Information Technology in Hospitals” (GESITI/Hospitals) has the purpose of mapping out the management of Information Systems (IS) and Information Technology (IT) in hospitals, in order to identify their needs and demands, prospecting for unfolding, perform publication and, mainly, generate a Integrated Research Report (IRR) with a focus on, also, a Report Research Roadmap (RRR). This IRR/RRR is for open for free access, and should be used as decision making support by public and/or private managers.
Currently the research is being carried out by nineteen universities: sixteen Brazilian, one Mexican, one Argentina, one from Slovakia, one from Czech Republic, one from Bulgarian and one Portuguese. An important initial result of this research work, which makes use of the Interpretative (or Introspective) Methodology, has been the generation in Brazil of an unprecedented database regarding hospital management and, from which several important information is extracted. From each local information, obtained via Local Research Reports (LRR) where the research has been carried out (each local includes the average of results obtained in five (5) hospitals); it becomes possible to undertake local decision making. However, the main purpose of the project is the preparation, based on the integration of all LRR, of an IRR/RRR for national decision-making support.
For a better decision-making on issues of interest to managers regarding the better efficiency and effectiveness of hospital management, public and/or private, the IRR/RRR will also present an integrated comparative analyzes based on all LRR (from Brazil & Abroad).
Although it has not been directly mentioned, the final result, ultimate, from the research should be a significant improvement on the hospital management and on the decision-making process. These results must reflect on peoples more satisfied regarding a better health care.
This is a win-win project, since it is good for Brazil and good for all countries involved. The goal is to reach about one hundred (100) universities (local coordinators) involved.

Abstract: In the course of five centuries, Brazil has emerged from a reality of primitive land and has become a multi-ethnic country, considered today one of the world\'s largest economies. Brazil, with an integrated territory, is aiming to be projected as a relevant player in the complex interplay of world powers. However, the country had its political thinking "caught" by an economic agenda based on increasingly smaller temporal cycles, losing its vision of the desired future. A model of participative management, based on a sociotechnical perspective, represents the opportunity for the emancipation of a political thinking capable of formulating a vision for the long-term future. Within this perspective and, in view of the sociotechnical approach, the present work has as objective of promoting innovation in the thought of the public/private manager, presently consolidated in a short/medium term vision. In this “Participatory Model of Sociotechnical Management”, it is proposed as a tool of change, the sharing of information and the implementation of a common vision, of the future, through the incorporation, by all level of Brazilian educational system and its societal decision-making, the key principles-strategies of a sustainable Brazil, to the Brazilian citizens.

• The word governance - “the process of
keeping under control” - is originated from
the Greek verb “kubernân” and was used for
the first time in a metaphorical sense by Plato
to describe the act of governing men.
• Governance involves monitoring and
overseeing strategic direction, socio-economic
and cultural context, externalities, and
constituencies of the institution

• If we go back a little in history we shall
remember that competitive advantage was
marked by the ownership of capital and assets
such as natural resources, estates, etc., but today
we are experiencing a fourth great revolution,
that of knowledge..

•The first revolution: the industrial age. From
1750 until the mid 1960s. Marked by the
evolution of the process.
•A second moment took place in the 70s,
marked by the expansion of the Japanese
industry. The world was overtaken by a
revolution in processes.

• Fourth revolution, the “Age of Knowledge”:
Organizations are focusing "people" as a great
competitive differential.

• What about the social-technical question
involving IT and people in this Age?

It is the treatment of the organization as a
living being, through a systemic view, that
will enable the emergence of phenomena
which shall enable the whole to be more than
the sum of the parts of such
being/organism!.

• How to theorize such context?

“a deep understanding that there is always a
simple explanation to any seemingly intractable
problem.” (TOC - concept of Inherent Simplicity)

• From the last questions, it follows several others
questions related with the Age of Knowledge:
1. How to deal with the social-technical questions in such Age?
2. Is the present economic crisis the “last straw” in order for us
to finally, develops such sense of unity and perception of the whole?
3. Does the solution for this knowledge information society
go, necessarily, through the social-technical IT questions?
4. And The Future ? How to elaborate/build a new way of
development, which comprises the social, economical, cultural and
environmental spheres, and that leads us to a new model of perception
and knowledge of the world – a perfect social-technical
system?
5. IF such new system had already been developed, AND ACCEPTED,
would the present financial crisis have occurred?

For countries in development, such as Brazil, to
transform their condition, it is necessary, NOW,
to advance their R&D and local Collaborative
Ecosystem research efforts (RDCE)...

Systems:Systems: challenges and reflectionschallenges and reflections
•And in the future ?
RDCE must consider the principle of the
Systemic View and, it may be accomplished by
the integration among one of these
interdependent subjects: ecology, biology,
communication, organizations, economy,
education, communities, technology, culture and
the human being (social-technical systems).

The Governance imposing normative goals of
sustainability upon existing sociotechnical
systems, implies connecting and
synchronizing changes among these actors,
institutions and artifacts at many different
points in the system.

• Today’s crisis is the result of a catastrophic
failure, primarily in the financial system but also
of our economic and political systems.
•Even though the Sarbanes-OxleyAct of 2002
had been an important initiative of U.S.
Government to regulate companies after the
drop of financial institutions, it has not proved
to be effective enough to avoid a financial crash
in the world economy in 2008...

The challenge now is the systemic thinking (that
which focuses on the performance of a system
as a whole) - to design a society (regulator) -
that goes beyond companies’ compliances - and
actually measures and focuses on systemic risks,
rather than on the individual parts of the
system.
And, at this point that governance could
exercise its essential mean and to extend its role
to the hole society. Contributing to define a
new systematic way of manage business, society
and why not the individuals?

By last but not least, “Challenges and
Reflections”, tried to awake our feelings
towards this new era of knowledge.
Perspectives
But, yet, news questions remain to be
answered:
Who or what will be driving innovations in this new
era? Which is the impact of the sociotechnical system in
such innovations process? About SOX, it seems that
it has not been enough to avoid a financial crash in the
world economy in 2008- Why?.
