Sales and Operations Planning: Integrate with Finance and Improve RevenuesMarcio Thome
The document discusses how integrating sales, operations, and financial planning can help companies improve revenue and performance during economic volatility. It finds that the best-in-class companies are twice as likely to create profit-optimized plans and focus more holistically on supply, demand, and finance. While many companies still focus primarily on demand forecasting and inventory management, best-in-class firms evaluate scenarios, respond quickly to changes, and express plans in terms of revenue and margins. The document also notes that finance organizations see revenue improvement as a key priority and are increasingly involved in integrated planning through S&OP, though greater engagement is still needed.

This document discusses how mobile operators in the UK can make business process management (BPM) more successful and deliver tangible benefits. It outlines some promises that BPM has made, such as removing silos and aligning processes to strategy, but notes that success is often measured by operational efficiency and compliance rather than top-line growth. The document suggests that to fully realize BPM's potential, organizations need to align their process structure to processes rather than functions, carefully select appropriate modeling and tools based on their process maturity, and ensure tools meet the needs of process owners not just analysts.
It's time to say 'bye' to KPIs - An introduction to DBPMCamryn Brown
The business environment is increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA). Decision-making is an ever more difficult task - it must be effective and fast! As such, decision-makers now need more than an "indication" of what factors are key to understanding and managing performance. They need information that is accurate, complete, timely *and* that is ready-to-use without leaps of interpretation or inference.
The good news is that EY has a market-leading method to design and deliver the context and connectedness that transform indicators into truly useful decision-making insights. Our Driver-based Performance Management (DBPM) method identifies the internal and external factors that have a quantifiable impact on performance against strategy and quantifies those impacts.
This results in a structured model of business performance, which is more useful in much the same way that a completed jigsaw puzzle is more easily interpreted than a jumble of jigsaw pieces. Used consistently across backwards- and forwards-looking performance processes, debate can focus on the decision rather the data and what it might mean.
1) Business intelligence solutions are often perceived as failing to deliver useful insights or consistent, high-quality data by executives. Many organizations have made little progress towards effective use of BI.
2) The document discusses how modern BI solutions should prove their value through increased flexibility, trust, collaboration and alignment with business needs rather than just supporting standard reporting.
3) Common issues organizations face with BI include siloed data and requirements, inflexible architectures, unclear priorities and delivery, outputs that don't meet quality needs, and lack of user and data understanding which leads to workarounds and loss of credibility.
An overview of why some organisations find it so difficult to change successfully. Reasons why pre third wave process thinking fails and the ways and means of achieving success - everytime.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.
