The document discusses IPv6 adoption and some challenges around educating broadband users. Key points:
- A major event saw over 3,000 websites support IPv6 permanently, but it still only accounts for 0.1% of traffic.
- Last mile providers have been criticized for their lack of IPv6 readiness, as they bear the cost of running both IPv4 and IPv6 networks but can't pass those costs to consumers.
- There is a challenge in getting customers to upgrade equipment like home gateways to support IPv6 when their current devices work fine for IPv4.
- The Internet Society Hong Kong has launched an education campaign to explain IPv6 to consumers and encourage enabling it, though it does
This thesis examines the issue of emergency radio communications between different first responder agencies. While improving "interoperability" has been a focus of homeland security funding, the thesis argues that the problem is more complex than a technological fix alone. Sole reliance on radio patching equipment without proper training and procedures may actually reduce effectiveness and increase vulnerabilities. The thesis advocates for new operational procedures and governance structures, as well as training simulations, to fully address communications challenges during emergencies.

It promotes empowering employees to manage responsibilities and fostering understanding of cultural diversity to build trust within the organization. The overall goals are to create a learning environment that continually improves processes, increases value for customers, and boosts company revenue.
The document discusses decision management and describes its goals of managing uncertainty, basing decisions on satisfaction and risk, and determining the next steps. It provides an example of evaluating proposals for an RFP using a decision matrix and discusses how decision management can improve the process by including stakeholders, managing differing knowledge and perspectives, analyzing satisfaction and risk, and providing guidance on next steps. The benefits of decision management include more successful and justified decisions with stakeholder buy-in.
Good To Great Business Process Change That WorksJeffrey Barnes
Most companies want to go from good to great, which may be why a new Gartner survey reports that BPI is the top priority for IT Executives in 2009. Each of these initiatives will require investment in organizational change. Gartner, as well as other business analysts, also reports that for the past 20 years, 85% of all change initiatives fail to yield a return on investment. These odds are simply no longer tolerable. Learn how the revolutionary new "Science of Change" is helping IT executives beat these odds by making strategic changes happen reliably -- on time and on budget. It concludes with five secrets from science that you can use to change your organization on-demand in 2009.
The document discusses improving project portfolio management through portfolio decision optimization (PDO). Few IT projects are successful due to misalignment with strategies and poor decisions based on uncertain information. PDO can treat portfolio management as a dynamic decision-making process by fusing uncertain data using Bayesian Team Support (BTS), a patented decision support engine. BTS answers key portfolio questions, considers risks and uncertainties, and ranks projects to optimize the portfolio. Integrating BTS into traditional portfolio management systems can improve decision-making and project success rates.
The document discusses how traditional change management methods often fail because they do not take into account that organizations are complex systems governed by internal rules of behavior, and proposes an alternative approach called Change Delivery that diagnoses and reforms defective rules one by one to drive sustainable organizational change from both a cultural and process perspective. Change Delivery claims to reliably deliver projects on time and on budget by changing an organization's culture to maximize adoption of new processes and systems.
The document discusses statistics around telecom billing errors and inefficiencies that many organizations face. It notes that 80% of invoices have errors, US businesses lose $13 billion per year to overcharges, and most organizations do not properly audit their bills. The document then suggests how a company called Ruby can help organizations gain visibility, ensure billing accuracy, optimize contracts and infrastructure, and recover significant savings on their telecom expenses through comprehensive auditing and management services.
