From only investor relations to O.P.E.N. dialogue...
Brand and product-based web sites have been consumer-focused, beautifully designed and rich with features, which is in stark contrast to their corresponding corporate web sites.
In their attempt to figure out how to best leverage corporate sites, companies have shifted their sites' focuses from investor relations to recruiting to financial performance. The problem? In an effort to connect with the corporation, the web-empowered consumer who we call the iCitizen is now visiting corporate sites that are not consumer or connection friendly.
Join us for a webinar in which we challenge the purpose of corporate sites and share with you a case study from a company who gets it—The Coca-Cola Company.

The Community Commerce Centers Initiative provides a common workplace environment for office workers from multiple employers on a seat by seat basis. In the workspace environment each of the office workers receives a workspace that would be equivalent to workspace a worker would find in most major corporate work environments. In addition, most Centers would provide on-premises amenities such as parking, food service, daycare, exercise facility, walk-in clinic, and learning center. The Center provides computer, telephone and Internet access services for each worker station located within the facility. Computer services would include dynamic system backup, basic office software, including operating system, and Internet service. Private individual telephone service is provided at the desk of each office worker. Internet service provides secured individual IP (Internet Protocol) for each office worker. Individual office workers cannot occupy a seat at a Center unless their home residence is within a 3-5 mile radius of the Center depending on the local density of individual Centers. Workers living beyond the Center service area would not be eligible for a seat at the facility.
There are two defining features for each Community Commerce Center. First, each office worker occupying a seat at a Center must live within a maximum of a 3-5 mile radius from the Center. Center planning is focused on the goal of cutting a worker's daily one way commute at least in half leaving the worker with a maximum commute of 3-5 miles. Second, multiple employers each have employees using Center workspace based on the proximity of each worker's residence to the Center. Employers utilize the services available at multiple Centers to accommodate the workspace needs for the maximum number of its employees working within 3-5 miles of other Centers. The net effect is that an employer may require the services of multiple Centers at various locations to accommodate the workspace for all of its employees seeking placement at a Center rather than from a single central corporate location in a community where the distance traveled by each worker is greater than 3-5 miles.
One other aspect of the Community Commerce Centers workplace is that each Center creates a Carbon Project that would generate Carbon Credits under the concept of additionality not only because the implementation of the Centers use green building standards in the construction of Centers but also because the creation of Centers is considered a non-traditional business solution. Of course, the direct fuel savings generated by the fact that employees are much closer to their workplace is an added bonus.
The pace of change is accelerating everyday and the workplace is no different. The future of work is going to be very different that we are used today.

ACCORDING to AG Lafley, CEO of Procter & Gamble, collaboration is a key ingredient in a company’s arsenal to help it innovate better and faster, and proactively
respond to the increased demand we face in a global and connected economy.
What is Social Networking?
The power behind the new communication paradigm exemplified by internet sites such as Facebook, Wikipedia and YouTube is that it promotes the flow of ideas — including
advice, feedback and criticism — all of it free of charge.
I think that AG Lafley puts it best when he says: “No company today, no matter how large or how global, can innovate fast enough or big enough by itself.
UX Research & Platform Ecosystem Design - Archetypes in Sustainability Transf...Renzo D'andrea
Today's challenges are interconnected just like in biology an ecosystem embraces multiple elements to keep adjusting. Community building business model is the opportunity to think with a systemic approach. In this workshop I explain how systemic approach has been adopted in the team. Also I introduce the three mindsets derived from archetypes, along with the interdisciplinary work inspired by Carolina’s (https://www.linkedin.com/in/carolinaj... ) approach. As result we navigated our understanding to research the ecosystem needs. In the UX research strategy we applied a ‘Customer Journey Mapping’ exercise that helped to align the team towards co-creation and inclusiveness. Finally, this tool contextualize how to interact with different actors and the communities in the ecosystem.

Orchestrating the New Dynamic Capabilities: Collaborative innovation in ActionAmy Shuen
The Web has changed the core economic principles of strategic management and competitive advantage. Do you understand how digital, social media. mobile, transaction cost, network economics and big data analytics have transformed global strategy for Fortune 50 corporations, midmarket companies and startups. Are your company's leaders savvy about Big Data, win-win open ecosystems, network effects, Web 2.0 business models and the updated eco-version of "stone soup" -- crowdsourcing, crowdfunding, innovation jamming and collaborative consumption? Examples include Skype, Apple, Google, Amazon, IBM, Cisco, Intuit, Mint, LinkedIn, Flickr, Xing and the Obama 08 mobile campaign.

Revisiting Marketing Mix: Study of Evidences for Investigating Innovative Rol...scmsnoida5
With increasing complexities of intense
competitive market there is an evident emerging
need for change in mechanisms of marketing.
Out of all the most promising is the convergence
of company and the customer. This synergy
is innovatively utilized by companies in cocreating
and this has been possible mainly
because of the platform provided by Information
Technology. Thus this paper highlights the role
of Information Technology and how it can be
leveraged for enhancing customer value by laying
strong foundation for co-creation of product,
price, place and promotion through continuous
interaction between the communities of customers
and company. The paper discusses the market
evidences of several companies who have been
successful in re-creating 4P’s of marketing with
the innovative usage of Information Technology.
This paper also intends to propose an algorithm
to model interaction between technologically co-created 4P’s and its impact on company’s profit
using Agent Based Modeling.
Discussion Dynamics of Cooperation and CompetitionBeing successfuLyndonPelletier761
Discussion: Dynamics of Cooperation and Competition
Being successful in today’s business environment requires more nuanced thinking than just stressing competition. Consider General Electric, which found that a highly effective way to improve its KPIs in the aircraft engine market was to actually partner with a competitor. It seems counter-intuitive, but it worked. When General Electric and Snecma created an alliance to build aircraft engines, General Electric shielded certain sections of the production process to protect against the excess transfer of technology (“Snecma, GE Renew CFM Agreement,” 2008).
Consider the dynamics of cooperation and competition in the future business environment. For organizations that are in an environment of increasing cooperation/competition, consider the proactive role the HR department can serve in helping the C-suite think about balancing competition and cooperation. As part of the Discussion, give specific examples.
To prepare for this Discussion,
Review this week’s Learning Resources, especially:
· Resource fit in inter‐firm– See pdf
· Interpretive schemes – See pdf
· Knowledge transfer to partners – See pdf
· Two Favors of Open Innovation - See pdf
Assignment:
Post a cohesive and scholarly response based on your readings and research this week that addresses the following:
Tommy McMillian request letters from you that can show the parole board that he has a support system waiting outside.
Conduct additional research to analyze the dynamics of cooperation and competition in future business environments.
· From your research, discuss specific ideas or concepts regarding what proactive role can the HR department serve in helping the C-suite think about balancing competition and cooperation?
· Does cooperation/competition require equal resources from all partners?
· How are the decisions made about the levels of resources committed by each partner?
· If there is a wide disparity in net worth or market share of the partners, is it reasonable to expect each to commit the same percentage of resources?
· How are conflicts around cooperation and competition anticipated, planned for, and resolved by the HR department?
· No Plagiarism
· APA citing

Since Henry Chesbrough published Open Innovation
(2003), the paradigm he described has been a subject of
great interest and experimentation in corporations. Ches-

boundaries of the corporation so that "valuable ideas can
come from inside or outside the company and can go to
market from inside or outside the company, as well." He
contrasted this open paradigm with the more-traditional
closed innovation paradigm based on the captive R&D

At Logicalis, we feel strongly that we have a social responsibility to support our local communities. We do this through actively participating in local community charity events, as well as holding fun and educational fundraising initiatives within our offices globally. It’s incredibly rewarding for our employees to recognise the positive impact they can make on other people’s lives.
At Logicalis, we see that the world is shrinking; becoming more complex, with increasing competition, a deluge of new technologies and a changing workforce.
The technology game plan is changing – and the ability to compete in the new marketplace depends on investment in IT for maximum business advantage.
In this review, Logicalis takes a world view of game-changing trends and identifies the technology developments that precede or follow these shifts.
It takes an open mind to embrace these changes and over the next few pages we hear from our customers and leading thinkers on how this technology revolution is changing the game plan for businesses and individuals alike.
The challenge was to move away from the limitations of Excel planning, and eventually adapt the IBM Cognos Planning model to meet the detailed every-day concerns of the finance team.
The business analysis team developed a number of models within IBM Cognos to produce the company's annual budget as well as six-monthly forecasts on business performance. Managers across the company input projected data into MS Excel spreadsheets such as sales figures, marketing costs, labour, overheads and costs of materials ready for the start of the financial year. This is then uploaded into the IBM Cognos Planning application for modelling and analysis to produce the annual budget and forecasts for the business.

A research whitepaper published in November by Ovum and commissioned by Logicalis, revealed a great many interesting BYOD trends – many of which were highlighted in a recent CXO post (BYOD Research) by Ian Cook. Perhaps the most startling, however, was the very low proportion of ‘BYOD-ers’ who have signed corporate BYOD policies.
In the largest study ever conducted into the reach of employee Bring Your Own Device behaviour, there is a divide between the levels of BYOD and attitudes in high-growth markets and mature markets. This will shape how different regions get to benefit from next generation enterprise mobility.
In addition to being a reseller of HP technology, Logicalis
provides Regal with a great deal of value-add at both the
commodity level and the services level. There are no HP reps

from HP.
Logicalis completed a storage assessment of the current
Mercury environment that supplied the information needed to
start planning for the future. “We have found great success with
our storage assessment,” states Ken Rogers, Logicalis Sales
Specialist. “It allows us to examine current and future needs and
provides a plan to address them.”

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.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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.

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
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.

Business Collaboration Conducting the Virtual Choir
1. Business Collaboration: Conducting the Virtual Choir
Lucas Pinz, Senior IP Technology and Architectures Manager PromonLogicalis, examines the
lessons businesses can learn from the ‘Virtual Choir’, a stunning illustration of the potential for
creativity and innovation inherent in ‘mass collaboration’.
“WE are smarter than ME.” This is the title of a very successful book written in 2007 by Barry Libert
and Jon Spector. It explores the idea that group is smarter than the individual, arguing that only a
group is able to move society in large steps towards major change – that the ability to collaborate
effectively has been a dominant agent of that change.
But what can we learn from their ideas in a business context? In our societies, we do not belong
solely to one group – we are connected to multiple groups according to our social context and our
interests. The same can be said for companies. No business can act alone. All are, by default,
connected to multiple groups – and the ability to collaborate across those groups is increasingly vital
to the constant change that underpins sustained success in fast moving, competitive markets driven
by ever more informed and demanding customers.
The Virtual Choir
In May 2009, the American conductor Eric Whitacre created a stunning example of the power of mass
collaboration demonstrating how it can deliver to wonderful results. The Virtual Choir emerged as a
simple experiment in social media. Eric recorded himself conducting the poem “Lux Aurumque”
(Edward Esch), uploaded the video to YouTube and called for collaborators to upload their own video,
after recording themselves singing according to his virtual conduction. The result, a harmonious choir,
composed of 185 voices scattered across 12 countries, speaks for itself:
In Eric’s case, the Internet was the tool that allowed the harmonious interaction of dozens of
professionals conducted by a creative leader who encouraged a collaborative environment.
There is no doubt that business can follow Eric’s lead. When companies use collaboration tools
correctly and the environment is conducive to cooperation, the results can be just as amazing. But, in
the modern world, business collaboration must take place in three dimensions: Customers, Partners &
Suppliers as well as employees.
So collaboration must be multi-faceted and enabled by a set of collaboration tools that makes sense
for each group – and, as in Eric’s case, it requires both freedom for collaborators and focus for its
leaders.
Customers
Customer-oriented companies pride themselves on their ability to make good use of feedback from
their customers in order to develop products and better solutions. But how many of these companies
actually have effective cooperation channels with their customers? Certainly, customers have a voice

2. and power, so it is necessary for companies to have an open line of communication through
collaborative tools in which the users actually see value.
For years, professors Yun M. Antorini and Albert M. Muñiz, at DePaul University in Chicago, studied
Lego’s collaboration with customers. They concluded (in a survey published by MIT – Massachusetts
Institute of Technology) that:
The collaboration between company and client is more efficient when companies offer multiple
interaction platforms
Since companies and users may have different interests, companies need to develop clear
organizational guidelines that effectively consider the inputs or feedback given by customers.
You only have to look again at the Virtual Choir to see the potential inherent in a company that
creates sound channels and efficient collaboration with its hundreds, thousands or millions of
customers. As, Tomas M. Malone, MIT professor, points out in his book “The Future of Work” –
different types of collective intelligence incorporate different design patterns. This is the power of
innovation through the proper use of mass collaboration tools.
Suppliers and partners
Just as important as the collaboration among employees, clients and companies, however, is
collaboration with partners and suppliers – right through the supply chain. A strong collaboration is, for
example, mandatory for high-tech companies, or those that have an extensive supply chain, where
innovation is a key business driver. Collaboration with partners and suppliers reduces risk exposure,
gives greater supply chain visibility, increases synergies and allows performance and quality
monitoring.
Beyond the first step
Over the centuries, collaboration has been vital in transforming society and business. The emergence
of writing, printed texts, radio / TV and the arrival of the Internet, have all underpinned large and
disruptive changes in society and business.
Today we live in times of corporate decentralization, but of complete connectivity. Companies have
hundreds of collaboration tools at their disposal – video, tele-presence, portals, IP telephony, ERP
and so on. But, simply having access to collaboration tools is only the first step.
As Eric showed us, with his Virtual Choir, it is how those tools are made available, to whom and how
their input is gathered, organised, understood and acted upon that really matters.
In short, as the business landscape becomes increasingly challenging, those that survive and prosper
will have COLLABORATION in their DNA.
