Beyond Agile: Thriving on Digitalization with Beyond Budgeting, Open Space & Sociocracy
•
0 likes•320 views
Digitalization calls for rapid organizational flexibility and adaptability. This has an impact on all dimensions of a company: its strategy, structure, and the processes. Thus, companies are expected to be flexible and both rapidly responsive and resilient to change, which basically asks them to be agile. Yet, doing agile (the mechanics) is different from being agile (the mindset). The mindset lets you apply flexible agile patterns not only for software development teams but for the whole company. In this workshop, we will examine what being agile really means and how it can be implemented by combining principles from different "streams" like Beyond Budgeting, Open Space, Sociocracy, Agile (BOSSA nova). Together, these concepts enable a company not only to survive but also to thrive on (digital) disruptions through entrepreneur initiatives. In this session, we will use case studies of companies that are pioneering the combination of these concepts.

Using Beyond Budgeting and Sociocracy for agile-friendly performance appraisals
There are many suggestions dealing with Agile-friendly performance appraisals, which promise to rely on trust, honesty, respect, safety, and servant leadership. The Agile Manifesto does not address performance appraisal although it does generally mention regular and frequent feedback, which can also be applied to performance evaluation. Two related methods, Beyond Budgeting and Sociocracy, offer interesting approaches to agile performance review. In this session we want to present these two different performance appraisal approaches, how they're are supported by the values of BOSSA nova (short for Beyond Budgeting, Open Space, Sociocracy & Agile) and want to invite the participants of this workshop to discuss the synthesis of the two approaches.
This session looks at several real-world examples from actual companies including Accenture, Equinor, and Google.
The first principle of Beyond Budgeting asks to “engage and inspire people around bold and noble causes; not around short-term financial targets,” the eleventh principle advocates: “Evaluate performance holistically and with peer feedback for learning and development; not based on measurement only and not for rewards only.” Thus, the main strategy of Beyond Budgeting is to separate (financial) bonuses from performance evaluation and to use relative and not fixed targets as a foundation for the evaluation.
Sociocracy suggests holding 360 degree in-person meetings. The person being reviewed should request it when needed, not just on a rigid annual basis, and perhaps not just once in the year. In the 360 degree meeting, the organization itself can be critiqued in the review - “the way we organize is causing performance problems.” Similar to Beyond Budgeting there is a focus on the vision and mission of the specific department as well as the overall company as a source of inspiration and motivation. The output of the performance review meeting should be a development plan that the immediate group of supervision, peers, and subordinates consent to.
Based on BOSSA nova, we invite participants to dive into what Beyond Budgeting and Sociocracy combined offer for performance appraisals. Participants will take away insights that they can use in their organizations.

Beyond KPIs and OKRs: Creating an environment for high-performing, innovative...
oo often innovative people in medium to large organizations have the feeling of being in a box - with startling new ideas - and no one really listens. In essence, these innovators are trying to “measure performance upwards.” This upward voice intrinsically measures strategies and customer impact, and applying the concept can significantly improve the overall performance without relying on top down OKRs and KPIs. Moreover, “measuring from above,” tends to measure the output of production rather than the truly important outcome: what is really making a difference for our customers and therefore for our company.
Adding “measurement from below” to a company can create a mindset that empowers everyone to follow their passion and interest and nourish the company’s effectiveness. Implementing a “from below” approach to measurement involves a fundamental shift that asks the company to synthesize a variety of new approaches. One such synthesis is Beyond Budgeting, Open Space, Sociocracy, and Agile (BOSSA nova). This synthesis enables a company to “measure upwards” without jeopardizing the strengths of “leading downwards.” Fortunately, the implementation can be done in small steps that probe and demonstrate new measurement ideas on a small scale such that the proof cascades beyond the demonstration. This session will enable you to get started on your journey to spreading the idea of upwards measurement company-wide.
This workshop asks participants to start where they are, explains what it means to probe, and helps them develop strategies and experiments they can use in their own situation to create an environment for high performance that goes beyond what OKRs and KPIs can offer.
How Agile Is Your Whole Company? Use Data- based KPIs to Find Out!
There is a way to measure your company’s progress in transforming to company-wide agility!
Gain a holistic perspective of (your company’s) organizational agility by using a new assessment tool.
In companies, we define OKRs and KPIs for aligning and measuring our performance. However, not much has been done thus far to measure how we are progressing on our journey to company-wide agility. With the right data, that journey can go more rapidly!
In this presentation, we provide an overview of what metrics to use, based on many years of experience and groundbreaking scientific theory and articulated as “BOSSA nova” - a synthesis of Beyond Budgeting, Open Space, Sociocracy & Agile.
Embracing a data-driven approach to company-wide agility doesn’t mean you’ll have all the answers - but you’ll be able to ask better questions.
A focus on data is especially important today when remote work settings create additional barriers to communication and understanding.
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
● Learn about key indicators for measuring where your company is on its agile transformation journey
● Understand there are possibilities for measuring company-wide agility by examining transparency, continuous learning, constant customer focus, self-organization, and connected perspective
● Understand what can help you to have meaningful conversations, interviews, and objective baselines to make a compelling case for your next steps.

UX Poland 2016 Masterclass- Jeff Gothelf - Lean Ux in the Enterprise
Agile has taken over the software development world. As a result we've created highly-efficient software engineering teams incentivized to get bug-free code shipped quickly. What we've failed to do is empower these teams with the decision-making mechanism necessary to decide:
What should we work on?
What's the best prioritization for our work?
When is it done? (Shipping != done)
Is it meeting customer expectations?
Should we continue to design and optimize this feature?
It is imperative that our product teams understand how to practice effective product discovery methods which can simultaneously feed our product delivery efforts.
The most effective way to achieve this is in collaborative, cross-functional teams that base their decisions on evidence from the market gained through experimentation and hypothesis. These teams bring product design, user experience, engineering, product management and organizational leadership together in a customer-centric effort to build the right product and to build the product right.
Jeff Gothelf is an expert in teaching teams how to work in this collaborative fashion and has captured these ideas in his book, Lean UX: Applying lean methods to improve user experience.

BOSSA nova: Beyond Agile - Preparing for Digitalization
Today companies are expected to be flexible and both rapidly responsive and resilient to change, to both survive but also to thrive on disruptions. These challenges call for company-wide agility. Yet, doing Agile (the mechanics) is different from being Agile (the mindset). For example, substituting management meetings with daily Scrums or using a backlog for the board of directors doesn’t make a company agile.
In order to become truly agile (meaning flexible, responsive, adaptive, fast, and nimble), you need to think outside the (agile) box. Company-wide agility requires a holistic approach, a combination of different principles: First and foremost the principles of
Beyond Budgeting (flexible budgeting & relative targets),
Open Space (leveraging the innovative power of all employees),
Sociocracy (flexible organizational structures and decentralized decision making), and –of course–
Agile (inspecting & adapting).
We synthesized these proven principles into a wider perspective dubbed BOSSA nova: B = Beyond Budgeting, OS = Open Space, S = Sociocracy, A = Agile. Jutta will reveal a path toward company-wide Agility by showing the synthesis of BOSSA nova.

Village Workshop - Modern SEO
SEO is no longer about meta tags and PageRank. Yes, on-page optimization and links still matter, but there is so much more. The current landscape of SEO is about content, trust and authenticity - it's about building a strong brand that is particularly relevant for a certain set of topics. Panda, Penguin, Hummingbird, Pigeon and hundreds of unnamed updates changed the game. Are you ready to compete?
In this session, we take a look at the current landscape of SEO, what works and what doesn't. We cover the basics of accessibility and site description, but also address intangibles such as brand awareness, authority and trust. Participants had have the opportunity to submit their site for live review and were engaged in discussion about SEO strategy and the latest best practices.
Each company has unique set of SEO challenges and roadblocks along the way. The goal for this session was to help each participant increase their knowledge of the SEO landscape, context for where search is headed, and a gain a practical understanding of the steps they can take to bring their digital brand to the next level.

Perfection and Reality on Crossing the - Diversity- Chasm
We Agile enthusiasts have a tendency to believe that we're miles ahead of the rest of the IT industry. And in many ways, we truly are. But let me share a personal experience that might challenge this perception.
Picture this: I'm a woman attending an Agile conference, ready to soak in all the knowledge and excitement. But there's one thing that never fails to catch my attention. Every time nature calls, I find myself standing in line for what feels like an eternity, just to access the women's restrooms. Interestingly enough, this never happens at general IT conferences. So, are we there yet? Not quite.
In this session, I want to shed light on the gaps between our perception of Agile and its community and the harsh reality we face. It's not just about diversity, although that's an important part of it. We still have hurdles to overcome, and it's time to cross the chasm that separates us from our ideal Agile world.
Agilists, the planet is (silently) screaming!
There’s no time to wait just because we’re overwhelmed. We need to act on the climate crisis NOW! We’ll create small experiments we all can do, and we’ll involve the whole conference to get feedback.
We are dealing with a slow crisis. We are used to a crisis being now and urgent and stirring fight or flight hormones that cause us to drop everything and face the crisis. So, the difficulty with the climate crisis (and other planetary challenges) is that for most of us the fight or flight hormones are not kicking in. Additionally, that crisis is a wicked problem that tends to leave us overwhelmed (“what can little me do about such a big problem?”), uncertain if we can make a difference at all, and if so, how?
In this workshop, we will focus on the professional life of agile leaders and testers in their organizations and will present a strategy for creating necessary internal and external connections that can help us better react NOW to this slow crisis in our everyday work. Furthermore, we will explore how to overcome the helplessness many people feel with such a wicked problem and explore specific sustainable testing strategies you can use in your day-to-day work. We will not only create small experiments that we all can specifically do as agile leaders and testers but also as a group we will organize a way to get feedback on these experiments from the whole conference. This way, the whole conference can start to hear the “silent scream of the planet” and both the participants of the workshop and the whole conference can mutually benefit from these experiments.

Product Managers spend a lot of time thinking about our product metrics, determining which KPIs best describe our progress and what measures we can take to accelerate our success. As a new Product Manager, parsing through the ocean of data can be overwhelming and using this data to make product decisions can be a challenging task.
Deb talked about how you can incorporate data through out your product life cycle to drive product decisions, feature prioritization and long term roadmap strategy. She walked through simple use cases where data has helped Product Managers break down complex problems and arrive at simple product decisions that directly impacted their KPIs. The industry is increasingly hiring data driven Product Managers.

-How the UX position can be used to drive strategic insight (even when it's not your job)
Village Workshop - Modern SEO
SEO is no longer about meta tags and PageRank. Yes, on-page optimization and links still matter, but there is so much more. The current landscape of SEO is about content, trust and authenticity - it's about building a strong brand that is particularly relevant for a certain set of topics. Panda, Penguin, Hummingbird, Pigeon and hundreds of unnamed updates changed the game. Are you ready to compete?
In this session, we take a look at the current landscape of SEO, what works and what doesn't. We cover the basics of accessibility and site description, but also address intangibles such as brand awareness, authority and trust. Participants had have the opportunity to submit their site for live review and were engaged in discussion about SEO strategy and the latest best practices.
Each company has unique set of SEO challenges and roadblocks along the way. The goal for this session was to help each participant increase their knowledge of the SEO landscape, context for where search is headed, and a gain a practical understanding of the steps they can take to bring their digital brand to the next level.

Perfection and Reality on Crossing the - Diversity- Chasm
We Agile enthusiasts have a tendency to believe that we're miles ahead of the rest of the IT industry. And in many ways, we truly are. But let me share a personal experience that might challenge this perception.
Picture this: I'm a woman attending an Agile conference, ready to soak in all the knowledge and excitement. But there's one thing that never fails to catch my attention. Every time nature calls, I find myself standing in line for what feels like an eternity, just to access the women's restrooms. Interestingly enough, this never happens at general IT conferences. So, are we there yet? Not quite.
In this session, I want to shed light on the gaps between our perception of Agile and its community and the harsh reality we face. It's not just about diversity, although that's an important part of it. We still have hurdles to overcome, and it's time to cross the chasm that separates us from our ideal Agile world.
Agilists, the planet is (silently) screaming!
There’s no time to wait just because we’re overwhelmed. We need to act on the climate crisis NOW! We’ll create small experiments we all can do, and we’ll involve the whole conference to get feedback.
We are dealing with a slow crisis. We are used to a crisis being now and urgent and stirring fight or flight hormones that cause us to drop everything and face the crisis. So, the difficulty with the climate crisis (and other planetary challenges) is that for most of us the fight or flight hormones are not kicking in. Additionally, that crisis is a wicked problem that tends to leave us overwhelmed (“what can little me do about such a big problem?”), uncertain if we can make a difference at all, and if so, how?
In this workshop, we will focus on the professional life of agile leaders and testers in their organizations and will present a strategy for creating necessary internal and external connections that can help us better react NOW to this slow crisis in our everyday work. Furthermore, we will explore how to overcome the helplessness many people feel with such a wicked problem and explore specific sustainable testing strategies you can use in your day-to-day work. We will not only create small experiments that we all can specifically do as agile leaders and testers but also as a group we will organize a way to get feedback on these experiments from the whole conference. This way, the whole conference can start to hear the “silent scream of the planet” and both the participants of the workshop and the whole conference can mutually benefit from these experiments.
Agile Sustainability: You can be more – socially, environmentally, and econom...
According to one forecast, IT will account for 21% of global energy consumption by 2030. If we don't change the way we implement software, we will contribute to increasing the carbon footprint. So, it's time to examine how agility can help to reduce energy consumption and ensure greater - environmental, social & economic - sustainability. The point is not to pursue sustainability for altruistic reasons, but to understand that over time, sustainability is also becoming a key factor that determines the success of companies, both in the search for talent and for customers and markets.
In this session, inspect real data and gain a holistic perspective of your team’s or company’s current situation regarding agile sustainability. Comparative Agile Sustainability is an approach that we created in a small team with the support of data analysts that serves to anchor and promote the awareness of sustainability in an (agile) team and/or company. The evaluation was published under creative commons and is therefore freely available to all interested parties. By using the results of this validated assessment, agile teams and organizations can better understand how they can increase their own effectiveness and contribute to increasing sustainability across the industry.

The world is on fire! None of our improvements in software development will matter at all if we can’t change the course of the climate crisis. The software lifecycle creates direct and indirect carbon emissions: it has a footprint, worsening environmental problems.

Increasing Productivity by Uncovering Costs of Delay
Fred Brooks once stated so wisely "How does a project get to be a year late? … One day at a time." Lean Development and queuing theories offer help so that this won't happen. The suggested remedy is to implement a steady flow in order to achieve maximum productivity. However, most teams and organizations are far from reaching that goal and moreover, it is often unclear which approach leads to what kind of delay. In-depth examination shows how generally accepted concepts such as Definition of Ready, Clean Code, or experts in a team can lead to costs of delay. In this session, Jutta presents simple tools and methods for uncovering hidden costs of delay. These tools and methods can be applied in various contexts: In small and large teams as well as in co-located and distributed teams. Using an agile approach will help to make these costs visible.
The Planet sends an S.O.S. – Taking Responsibility for our Carbon Footprint
The world is on fire! None of our improvements in software development will matter at all if we can’t change the course of the climate crisis. The software lifecycle creates direct and indirect carbon emissions: it has a footprint, worsening environmental problems. However, the environmental aspect is not the only one we need to focus on. If we take our task seriously, we have to take a holistic view of software development in the sense of the so-called triple bottom line from all three sustainability perspectives: social, economic, and ecological.
In this session, I want to broaden our horizon on having this holistic perspective on our responsibility for sustainability that comes with software development. I will share both ideas about possibilities and examples from companies who make already an effort in implementing this holistic perspective because sustainability becomes more and more a success factor for every company: For finding and keeping both clients as well as talent. Thus, this session is about raising awareness of our contribution to sustainability and understanding the (first) steps we can take to make a difference.

This is an emergency.
None of our Agile improvements in product development will matter at all if we can’t change the course of the climate crisis. Like everyone we feel overwhelmed to confront a problem as wickedly complex as the climate crisis, and we’ll show you that Agile practitioners have many skills and methods at our fingertips to make a difference in the future.
Many hands make lighter work. So, let’s do this!
Agile for Future: Mit dem Agilen Manifest zu mehr Nachhaltigkeit!
Das Agile Manifest erschließt „bessere Wege, Software zu entwickeln“. Könnte dieser bessere Weg auch den CO2-Fußabdruck der Software berücksichtigen? Einer Prognose zufolge wird die IT bis 2030 21% des weltweiten Energieverbrauchs ausmachen. Ändern wir die Art und Weise wie wir Software implementieren nicht, werden wir zur Erhöhung des CO2-Fußabdrucks beitragen. Es ist also Zeit zu prüfen, wie agile Entwicklung dazu beitragen kann, den Energieverbrauch zu senken und für mehr – ökologische, soziale & wirtschaftliche – Nachhaltigkeit zu sorgen.
Can we leverage the Agile Manifesto to reduce our Carbon footprint?
Do you know that some forecasts project that in 2030 IT will account for 21% of all energy consumption? So, if we do not change the way we implement software, we will contribute to the increase in the carbon footprint. This means it is about time to take another look at how agile development can help decrease energy consumption.
In this workshop, we'll explore how the agile principles can guide us to more sustainability, and we'll provide you with concrete ideas for increasing sustainability in your product development.
Software Sustainability: Wake-Up Call for Taking Responsibility
The increase of digitalization means that software is a key driver for society and the economy. However, this means we can’t keep creating products and without taking the responsibility for the impact of the software. For example, IT is predicted to account for 21% of global energy consumption by 2030. If we don't change the way we implement software, we will add to our carbon footprint. So, it is time to examine how software development can help reduce energy consumption and ensure more - ecological, social & economic - sustainability.
In this keynote, I want to broaden our horizon on having a more holistic perspective on our responsibility for sustainability. I will share both ideas about possibilities and examples from companies who make already an effort in implementing this holistic perspective, because sustainability becomes more and more a success factor for every company: For finding and keeping both clients as well as talent. Thus, this session is about raising the awareness of our contribution to more sustainability and hopefully being a wake-up call for taking responsibility.
Addressing Complexity by Learning fast with BOSSA nova
The pandemic is a stark example of the volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (short VUCA) world we currently live in and this world asks for company-wide agility. By synthesizing Beyond Budgeting, Open Space, Sociocracy & Agility, BOSSA nova is one approach to company-wide agility. Yet it is often unclear, where and how to start implementing this approach. As pointed out by the so-called Fearless Change Patterns, it doesn’t help to wait for the perfect moment when you have the resources and knowledge you think you need; instead, take the first baby step and start learning. Thus, for living in the VUCA world an open mindset to learning is essential that can be approached by the concept called probes – small, safe-to-fail experiments based on hypotheses derived from reflection on the current situation as well as on theory. In this session, I will share both the concept and some examples of probes implemented by different companies that can guide the probing in your company to establish a learning organization.
Real Cross-functional teams for Creating real and better Products
co-presentation with Maryse Meinen.
At the core of agile development are self-organizing cross-functional teams. Yet, this is often understood as e.g., backend & front-end developers working together. If an organization is aiming for company-wide agility, to fully benefit from agility it has to enable teams as value centers that are truly cross-functional by bringing in different perspectives from business, markets, cultures, beliefs, etc. This way cross-functional teams overcome not only the limitations of organizational silos but also of a singular view on the market.
If teams are really cross-functional and are resembling the diversity of the market, the products they’re creating are also better. Thus, if the whole team has the full business expertise, knows the market, reflects the full diversity of the clients, then it can even disrupt the market and isn’t waiting for some person (e.g., the Product Owner) to decide on priorities. With this real cross-functionality, the team can fully understand the company’s business and has a holistic view of it, knowing its contribution to the company’s value stream.
Real cross-functional teams are an essential building block for implementing company-wide agility and the organization benefits by creating better and in a way more real products and by having more options when entering the war of talent.
A Simple Approach for Managing Complexity
We often find ourselves in complex situations without recognizing what makes them complex. Yet, only understanding the context will help us to either benefit from the complex situation (yes, it can also be beneficial) or know how to reduce the complexity.
In this workshop, we will introduce a simple tool (the difference matrix of Human Systems Dynamics, HSD in short) that helps to see the differences and exchanges that at the same time make a situation complex and provide hints for reducing the complexity. Using a case study, participants will experience in small groups (using breakout rooms) how they can use the difference matrix by example.
Agile Comes with a Responsibility for Sustainability: Are You Aware of it?
Agility and sustainability are intertwined and define more and more the success factor for every company: For finding and keeping both clients as well as talent.
Have you ever wondered about the responsibility that comes with “being agile”? If you, your team, or your organization claim to be agile people expect you, for example, to embrace diversity & inclusion, to satisfy your customers without any bias, and even to protect your environment. In this session, I want to broaden our horizon on having a more holistic perspective on our responsibility for sustainability that comes with being agile. I will share both ideas about possibilities and examples from companies who make already an effort in implementing this holistic perspective. Thus, this session is about raising the awareness of our contribution to more sustainability and understanding how the principles of the agile manifesto can be leveraged to change our actions.
Real Cross-functional Teams for Creating real and better Products
At the core of agile development are self-organizing cross-functional teams. Yet, this is often understood as e.g., backend & front-end developers working together. If an organization is aiming for company-wide agility, to fully benefit from agility it has to enable teams as value centers that are truly cross-functional by bringing in different perspectives from business, markets, cultures, beliefs etc. This way cross-functional teams overcome not only the limitations of organizational silos but also of a singular view on the market.
Too many products have been developed that serve one kind of client only. The reason is that the composition of the teams leads (subconsciously) to the development of products that serve only people that resemble the people in the team. One “famous” example is the soap dispenser that only works if your hands are white.
If teams are really cross-functional and are resembling the diversity of the market, the products they’re creating are also better. Thus, if the whole team has the full business expertise, knows the market, reflects the full diversity of the clients, then it can even disrupt the market and isn’t waiting for some person (e.g., the Product Owner) to decide on priorities. With this real cross-functionality the team can fully understand the company’s business and has a holistic view of it, knowing its contribution to the company’s value stream.
Real cross-functional teams are an essential building block for implementing company-wide agility and the organization benefits by creating better and in a way more real products and by having more options when entering the war of talent.
What's the Impact of the Agile Manifesto on our Carbon Footprint?
The Agile Manifesto captures "better ways of developing software" yet, could this better way also take the carbon footprint of your software into account? Some forecasts project that in 2030 IT will account for 21% of all energy consumption. Software lifecycle creates direct and indirect carbon emissions: it has a footprint, worsening environmental problems. If we do not change the way we implement software, we will contribute to the increase of the carbon footprint. This means it is about time to take another look at how agile development can help decrease energy consumption.
So, this session tries to provide the first answers to "how can the agile community and the agile principles contribute to or guide sustainability?" In this workshop, we want to examine how the principles of the Agile Manifesto can provide guidance for implementing sustainability in IT. In order to do so, we will explore how the principles can contribute to sustainability, and how a greater awareness can change our current way of working for providing our contribution to addressing climate change.
Beyond KPIs & OKRs: How “measuring from below” enables innovation and true ef...
“Measuring from above” traditionally means measuring against a standard set in the past - against a set of assumptions based on customer research. The unstated assumption is that the customer data will be valid for at least some period of time in the future. OKRs and KPIs then give feedBACK against targets set based on management’s picture of what customers want. What is needed in our VUCA world, however, is feedFORWARD. That is, we must build a model of what customers will want in the future and act now against that model.
Too often innovative people in medium to large organizations have the feeling of being in a box - with startling new ideas - and no one really listens. In essence, these innovators are trying to “measure performance upwards.” This upward voice intrinsically measures strategies and customer impact, and applying the concept can significantly improve the overall performance without relying on top-down OKRs and KPIs. Moreover, “measuring from above,” tends to measure only the output of production. However, in the VUCA world, we’re living in right now, measuring the output of production is not enough for companies that need to survive and thrive on disruption. Although OKRs and KPIs have served the business world well in the past, in the future, companies need to focus on the truly important outcome: what is really making a difference for our customers and therefore for our company.
However, in a VUCA world, we cannot assume any sort of stability - the model of the future must change often if it is to be sensitive to changing conditions. The “view from below” is very likely to be more attuned to such changes than the view from the top, which necessarily operates at a more abstract, longer-term level. Without measurement from below, the measurement from the top is likely to become “old-fashioned” very quickly.
Adding “measurement from below” to a company can create a mindset that empowers everyone to follow their passion and interest and nourish the company’s effectiveness. Implementing a “from below” approach to measurement involves a fundamental shift that asks the company to synthesize a variety of new approaches.
Real Cross-functional Teams for Creating Real and Better Products
At the core of agile development are self-organizing cross-functional teams. Yet, this is often understood as e.g. backend & front-end developers working together. If an organization is aiming for company-wide agility, to fully benefit from agility it has to enable teams as value centers that are truely cross-functional by bringing in different perspectives from business, markets, cultures, beliefs etc.This way cross-functional teams overcome not only the limitations of organizational silos but also of a singular view on the market.

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdf
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.

Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.

Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.

Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.

Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.

Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.

Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
