Tom Diederich portfolio presentation (updated Nov. 18, 2016)Tom Diederich
I created this presentation to highlight some of the milestones in my career as an online community builder over the past 15 years. I hope it can also help other community managers and executives tasked with building and/or growing an online community.
This talk includes
* Tips for building and growing a new community from scratch
* Tips for resurrecting a floundering community
* How to connect Support to your community via Slack and other social tools
* The perks of a social listening program
* How to turn social rants into customer service tickets
* The importance of gamification
* And much more!
My name is Tom Diederich and this presentation is a timeline of sorts highlighting my experiences in the field of online community management, which started in 2005 when I joined an internal team at Intuit that created one of the world’s first online customer communities – a forums-based question-and-answer space for TurboTax customers.
The following year, I took everything I learned in that project and joined Symantec -- then the third-largest software company in the world -- where I assembled a nimble team of three and together we designed, launched and managed the organization’s first social media presence and online community in 2006. Yes, I am proud to say that I was Symantec's first community manager and first social media strategist.
I’ve been building and managing large corporate communities ever since. I hope this deck helps you in your work with online communities. Please feel free to contact if you'd like to ask any questions, etc.

Microsoft's Power BI allows you to monitor key metrics, spot real-time trends and create personalized dashboards without being a data expert. Our expert, Alyssa Ford from Tech Impact, walks us through why Power BI is a powerful, low-cost tool that allows you to take your data from virtually any source (Excel files, Salesforce, SurveyMonkey, SQL server, SharePoint, etc.) and how to turn it into meaningful visualizations.
In this presentation, Alyssa covers:
– the basics of Power BI,
– what it can do,
– how licensing works,
– and some use-case examples.

As we all know, more and more organizations are starting to question “Do we or do we not implement Office 365?”. However, as these discussions are taking place; governance is rarely addressed or considered. The main reason is that the majority believe that once they have implemented governance that they are done; unless there is an update such as a server name change or an employee change (such as a departure or addition). During the initial planning around governance it is likely that there were discussions around auditing of the governance document and potential quarterly reviews to ensure that the document is up to date and still fits the business. However, it is common to forget that after that fact; even though it is documented “within the governance document”.
Governance becomes even more important with Office 365 just because its cloud based and ever changing with new and deprecated features on a pretty regular basis. This means all of the content, backup, recovery, etc. are all handled by Microsoft and you have virtually no control over it (Can you say MAJOR SLA impact?). In this session we will review the areas of concern and how they can be addressed within the governance document, the importance of reviewing the document frequently; and ways to make the information available to your internal SharePoint Community. In addition, we will review the features of Office 365 that will have a major impact on SharePoint and Office Apps. We will review each of these applications and the areas of importance that should be addressed in the governance document, as well as why each of them are important.

How can you help your company evolve, adapt, and succeed using Artificial Intelligence and the Metaverse to stay ahead of the competition? What are the potential issues, complications, and benefits that these technologies could bring to us and our organizations? In this session, Jen Stirrup will explain how to start thinking about these technologies as an organisation.

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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery.

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!
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

21. Enterprise Social is widely spreading among Companies
Main reason of why companies use “Enterprise Social”.
Employer side
Employers use private SNS or other information
sharing application without permission.
A growing number of employers think there has
communication problems within the whole
organization.
Company side
Employers are communicating classified
information with unauthorized system and
company needs to implement the necessary
measures to avoid any issues.
It needs to provide a platform for employers to
interact and exchange opinions by the promotion
of diversity.
Familiarity of employers is intensifying due to an
advent of social media.
A company can not manage all the employees
who use unauthorized application.
Employers are reluctant to communicate with
each other.
Having no acquaintance with each other, it
affects employer’s to team up to work.
Employers want to use a communication tool in
order to make smooth and easy to cooperate
with different units.
Information system department periodically
receives requests from employers to introduce
communication tools.
The advent of social media, a number of companies started to pay attention to enterprise social as an evolution
system of old communication tools such as mailer or groupware. Bringing about a drastic changes by complex
and external environment, employees themselves started to see their own organization’s communication way as
a problem, and needs of enterprise social are increasing within both employers and organization.
