Often when people think about innovation the first thing that comes to mind is product innovation. With ten different types of innovation, the more types you can incorporate the more chance your innovations are likely to be successful.
This webinar will show you how to use ten sources of innovation to develop the ideas that could lead to the next big thing. Topics this interactive webinar will cover are:
• Why innovation is such a hot topic and why you can't ignore the trend
• What are ten sources of innovation
• How local companies are using innovation (case studies)
• What does all this mean for my business- the innovators dilemma.
Which Innovation Framework do you use, the 10 types of innovation or the busi...Heather McQuaid
Which innovation framework, the 10 types of innovation or the business model canvas, is more useful in helping people realise that 'innovation' isn't just about a product (or service)? I was surprised that no one had published (or at least made freely available) a comparison of the 10 types of innovation and the 9 building blocks of the business model canvas. So I attempted a mapping and here's what I found.
Advertising agencies are obsessed with innovation. They also have one of the most unique sets of creative talent of any industry. Yet the creative department is the most suspicious of "innovation" of any group at the agency. Could it be that actually Creative Directors hold the keys to converting ad agencies into what so many desire: innovation partners to clients?

Beyond Blueprints 3D Laser Scanning in ConstructionMichael William
Explore the future of construction with "Beyond Blueprints." Our 3D Laser Scanning services redefine accuracy and efficiency. Uncover detailed site insights, streamline renovations, and seamlessly integrate real-world data into your projects. Transform your construction experience today! #ConstructionInnovation #3DLaserScanning
This was a guest lecture I presented to Masters students of information science at McGill University. It was intended to give an idea of what it's like in reality, lessons learned - and why certain traditional notions of project management doesn't work well in industry (and that we're still struggling with it).
Current practices to capture field conditions are manual and tedious, and often accompanied by inaccurate data. This leads to costly rework and project delays. Whether it is a complex renovation project or a large-scale infrastructure project, traditional surveying and documentation begin with a raster image based on a 2D blueprint that is converted in CAD to an editable file. Surveyors visit the construction site to verify existing conditions with the actual blueprint and check for any inconsistencies in the existing 2D blueprints.
For spaces that cannot be captured efficiently, other processes or tools are required to be used to measure objects through an easy and efficient process. Not only is this process time-consuming, but turns out to be incomplete and inaccurate leading to costly rework, delays, and change orders.
Traditional surveying methods exhibit the following limitations.
• Low reliability
• Limited accuracy and data coverage
• Inadequate As-Built data for 3D models or CAD drawings
• Inconsistent survey information that could lead to higher survey requirements
• Cost-prohibitive based on the need to hire survey experts, multiple site surveys, and costly rework
Ergo, an imperfectly set process often pulls projects into cost and time overruns due to expensive RFI’s and change orders.
Why deploy Reality Capture in Architecture and Design?
Generate precise dimensions for As-Built drawings
Create an accurate visualization of the design based on existing conditions
Validate 3D models with real-time design
Enhance stakeholder coordination and collaboration for the entire project
Reduce project guesswork and mitigate errors
Why deploy Reality Capture in Engineering and Construction?
Begin a project with precise data and problem identification
Avoid rework and costly delays through absolute collaboration
Reduce the number of site visits to save cost and time
Track project progress & identify potential problems
Validate actual work against the proposed design to make sure the project stays within budget
Leverage total collaboration throughout the project by comparing plans with 3D models
Share project progress with various trades and teams
Summary.
Reality Capture processes enable design and construction teams to leverage true confidence in their project. The difference in time, efficiency, and cost are far greater than in traditional surveying. As Reality Capture provides tremendous value at every building stage, its application can be extended to complex and large-scale renovation projects by saving on ROI, reduction in field trips, and better decision making.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

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.

capital costs, recoverable and non-recoverable costs, reimbursements,
taxes, inflation, leases and future leases, mixed tenures and much more.
• This is used by many professional to appraise, valuate and process
properties in their portfolio .
• This, like CAD, vastly reduces the man hours needed to manage any size of
portfolio.

16. • Circle can quickly and accurately value projects with a very high level on
sensitivity to show you if schemes can be viable or not.
• Easily edited it can keep up with shifting market forces on a day to day
basis.
• After editing the details correctly, the system will give detailed analysis on
the property.
17. The Problem
Inefficient project communication and collaboration between all involved in
the development process, costing both time and money, due to a lack of
system that everybody can access and understand
18. The Solution
• A system that allows the participants in the development process to view the
information in an appropriate form
• Needs to distribute and communicate design information to anyone needing
to view, review, print or access it for any purpose, without losing critical data
and without needing to understand or own the original software that drew
the buildings
• This can be done via the use of a project collaboration tool that everyone on
the team can access, anywhere, anytime.
19. Building Information Management
(BIM)
• Building Information Modeling is a new CAD standard that allows for intelligent, 3D and
parametric object-based design. In this way
• Unlike CAD, BIM such as AutodeskRevit provides full bi-directional associativity. (A
change anywhere is a change everywhere)
• A BIM model creates the building's full life cycle, from concept to construction to
decommissioning.
• Revit checks with the central file whenever a user starts working on an object in the
database to see if another user is editing the object. This procedure prevents two people
from making the same change simultaneously and prevents conflicts.
• Revit Architecture, for architects and building designers (formerly Revit Building)
• Revit Structure, for structural engineers
• Revit MEP, for mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineers (formerly Revit Systems)
20. Design Web Format (DWF)
• Studies suggest that the ratio of people needing to use design information, versus those who
create it, is about 10 to 1 . Autodesk created DWF in 1996 for those information consumers.
• DWF is a tool that extends the BIM design process and facilitates the sharing of consistent,
coordinated information that comes from a BIM such as AutoDesk Revit.
• DWFs are not the original design model and they can't be edited -- they can only be marked up.
Sometimes referred to as light geometry, DWF files can carry very large data sets in a very
compressed format, much smaller than the original design files. A gigabyte-sized design file can
be compressed to a DWF file that's small enough to e-mail, making the Internet a viable
replacement for overnight mail or couriers.
• The ability to publish to DWF is embedded in almost all Autodesk design applications, including
Revit.
21. Collaborative Project Management (CPM)
• CPM (collaborative project management) solutions seek to improve communication by enabling
the distribution of the co-ordinated, reliable information that comes from BIM (building
information modelling)
• One successful solution is by incorporating Autodesk Revit ( a BIM system) and Autodesks'
Collaborative Project Management
• A central online system available to anyone on the project on demand , containing the following
data:
• Documents
• Photos
• Sketches
• Change orders
• Specifications
• Concept Designs
• Minutes
• Reports
• Contacts
etc..
24. Autodesks' Collaborative Project Management
• Design Management - Architects and engineers can view, highlight, and comment
on designs. Uses DWF.
• Construction Management - Standardised construction processes reducing
confusion, controls which personnel do what throughout the project
• Bid Management - Invite subcontractors to bid, prepare and distribute bid packages,
manage requests for information, evaluate submissions and track changes
• Operations Management - Ensures right team members and vendors have
appropriate access to confidential files e.g. designs, legals, schedules. Once project
is complete, automatically stores most recent documents for future reference
• Document Management - Access to many files e.g. PDF/EXCEL/CAD/DWF to view
or mark online without need for software. Powerful tagging and search function to find
correct documents quickly
• Cost Management - Cost related documents can be processed faster and with
fewer errors. Peers will be able to identify a £100 and a £100,000 problem straight
away via advanced risk management tools. Customisable routing wizard to ensure
every cost document is reviewed and approved by the right people.
25. Other Features
• Automated emails and reminders notifying the correct personnel of
changes or updates in order to ensure deadlines are met
• File locking if only certain team members are required to access
data
• Graphical summaries for all elements of the process
• 24/7 security on a central server monitoring physical security along
with continuous data backup and encrypted connections
• Automatic population of data to ensure consistency and reduce
redundant data
26. Video Conferencing
Background:
• Video conferencing or videoteleconference (VTC) is digital compression of audio and video streams in real time.
• They allow two or more locations to interact via two-way video and audio transmissions simultaneously.
• Simple analogue videoconferences could be established as early as the invention of the T.V.
Why video conference:
• When a live conversation is needed.
• When visual information and document sharing is an important component of the conversation.
• When the parties of the conversation can't physically come to the same location.
• When the expense or time of travel is a consideration.
Problems with video conferencing
Historically:
• Early systems failed mostly due to their high costs, poor picture quality and the lack of efficient video compression techniques.
Current:
• They give an incorrect impression of avoiding eye contact.
• Consciousness of being on camera.
• Complexity of systems. Most users are not technical .
• Lack of ability for systems to work together.
• Some countries have not got the technology. Bandwidth , speed and quality of service.
• Expense of commercial systems: A well designed system requires a specially designed room and can cost hundreds of thousands of pounds to fit out with codec's,
integration equipment and furniture.
27. How problems may be overcome.:
• Advancing technology
• The issue of appearance consciousness may fade as people become accustomed to
videoconferencing.
• Decreasing costs.
• An alternative is for companies to hire out video conferencing rooms in cities around the
world. The rooms can be booked and support is available.
Why it may be used in development:
• Time is money, especially in development.
• Can easily share information.
• Can involve communication with multiple people at one time for discussion.
• It is likely to be highly popular for future commercial communication. Not having this
resource may limit business opportunities.
30. INNOVATION
An innovation is a new idea.
• For example - most software products are not software innovations by themselves,
since most products are simply re-implementations of another idea.
• WordStar was the first microprocessor word processor.
31. INNOVATION
While the IBM PC and Apple’s appearances were important to the
computing world, they didn’t represent an innovation in software
32. Innovation… standards?
•Standards are extremely important in computing (just as they are in many
other fields).
•The notion of having computing standards was not something that
immediately came to mind in the computing industry - so the notion of
having computer-related standards is now classed as an innovation.
•Even today, people fail to understand the need for standards and thus fall
victim to vendor lock-in.
35. Innovation - 1964 The mouse
• Although this could be viewed as a hardware innovation - It isn’t much of a
hardware innovation
• The true innovations were in the user interface approaches that use the
mouse, which is entirely a software innovation.
36. 1966
Spelling Checker
• Les Earnest of Stanford developed
the first spelling checker circa 1966.
• He later improved it around 1971
and this version quickly spread (via
the ARPAnet) throughout the world.
37. 1971
Distributed Network Email
• Ray Tomlinson of Bolt, Beranek and Newman (BBN) implemented the first
email program to send messages across a distributed network, derived from an
intra-machine email program and a file-transfer program.
• This quickly became the ARPANET’s most popular and influential servic
38. 1978
Spreadsheet
• Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston invented the spreadsheet
application (as implemented in their product, VisiCalc).
39. 1982 Computer Virus
• While not a positive development, this was certainly an innovation.
• The program “Elk Cloner” is typically identified as the first “in the wild”
computer virus.
• It attached to the Apple DOS 3.3 operating system, and spread through
floppy disks that were inserted afterwards.
40. MapReduce
• In 2004 Google's Jeffrey Dean and Sanjay Ghemawat revealed
MapReduce.
• In simplicity MapReduce is a framework that allows the developers to write
functions that process data.
• A very simple example of MapReduce that is commonly used is a process
that counts the occurrence of a particular word in a document
41. FADS
•It’s difficult to identify the “most important” innovations within the last few
years.
•Software technology for example, like many other areas, is subject to
fads.
•Most “exciting new technologies” are simply fashions that will turn out to
be impractical (or only useful in a narrow niche), or are simply rehashes
of old ideas with new names
43. Innovation
• More than ever before, research and innovation are high on the agenda for
most real estate firms, as business owners recognise their essential role in
the continuing success of the business the economy and society.
• Today the race - to more knowledge, to master technology and its best use,
and to developing innovative high value products and services - is global.
• It is therefore essential to be able to master and incorporate technologies
and to exploit them
44. DATA STORAGE
•The amount of data being generated and retained by the typical enterprise is
growing exponentially.
•In the property sector, progress in data storage and ICT is providing
innovative solutions
•Through co-operation and coordination critical mass can be created,
leadership can be developed and that new developing technology can
become the standard.
45. The real estate sector is a huge victim of failing to capitalise on the use of radical
innovation to technology…..
The Facts
•Real estate is the second or third largest contributor to overheads for most
businesses
•More than half of the organisations who undertook a study revealed that they had
property assets of 30% or more of their total asset value.
(quot;Urban real estate information systems: the suppression of radical innovationquot;)
46. The Question….
Why is the real estate sector so slow at incorporating the opportunities provided
by the information revolution when you would think that it would be crucial for a
sector of this size to take advantages of such opportunities?
Even incremental technologies can take a while to cement themselves fully into
a sector…..
• e-mail has been adopted by real estate professionals…
47. Innovation disrupts existing processes…
leads to either conscious or unconscious resistance by people or companies
who feel threatened
People's ignorance can lead to impeding innovative technologies
Bear in mind that feeling threatened by innovation or ignorance towards it comes
from the assumption that most of us are spectators to innovation…
Common Phrase - quot;If it ain't broke don't fix it!quot;
Broad explanation for the barriers outlined especially in the real estate sector
because up until recently it has been very successful for a lot of companies,
people, consortiums etc in terms of making a lot of money!
48. What is stopping property development systems moving forward?
• High start up costs
• Training & Awareness
• Relevance to the industry
• Adverse attitude to change
• Macroeconomic disadvantages
• Takes time to become mainstream
• Political change
49. Awareness/ marketing of current systems and opportunities
• Advertising
• Digital photography - initial quality
• Allows for image manipulation - Misrepresentation Act 1967
• Property Development Systems - current quality
50. Conclusion
From the evidence outlined it is easy to see that there are definitely barriers
to innovation within the real estate sector whether people's ignorance or
feeling threatened or the time it takes for new systems to establish
themselves.
Reiterating on the quot;if it ain't broke don't fix itquot; phrase and the thought that
when something is doing well why change it, just think about the current
state of the economy and market.
Now more than ever might be the best time to truly encourage innovation
and open peoples mind to the possibilities in order to re-inflate the market,
get money injected and renew confidence in the sector.
