Bringing Architecture Thinking to the People - An introduction into the PEOPL...Craig Martin
The successful implementation of an architecture plan or blueprint is often challenged not in the efficacy of the design elements of the architecture, but in its implementation by people in business operations. Transformation programs will often struggle as a consequence of the failure to consider the issues impacting and the role of people in supporting the target operating state of the architecture once implemented, it is therefore imperative that when architects innovate, model and design to solve business problems, that they equally consider the people dimension. Capability based planning is incomplete unless we address the optimum mix of people, process and tools to drive out the target outcome of that capability. This presentation will look at a case study from within the Australian market in which Business Capability Based Planning was applied to assess people capabilities and organisation preparedness to support a target business model. It will also discuss some of the more effective people levers that can be applied to deliver more impactful and long lasting architectural change.

SLIDE 1
• A Plan is only of value if it is successfully implemented
• A good Strategy is important… A Great Operating Model is more beneficial
• A Target Operating Model ensures everyone is aligned and knows what to do
SLIDE 2
What is an Operating Model?
• A breakdown of a business into its key components
• A framework for how an organization operates in terms of people, processes and technology
• A basis for formulating strategy and making informed decisions
What Is a Target Operating Model?
• A structure that dictates how the business should be organized
• A target state informed by strategy and opportunities for optimization
• An operational design that depicts how business objectives will be achieved
• A basis for developing operational improvement and transformation plans
• A framework that enables goal congruence
SLIDE 3
Why is a Target Operating Model Important?
• Without a Target Operating Model operations often evolve and do not fully align to the business vision and strategy
– This approach might work initially, however it has significant associated risk
– Clients and products are added, new markets are entered and acquisitions are integrated.
– People, processes and technologies build and a complicated web of inefficient and ineffective systems and processes is created
• A Target Operating Model based on the business strategy often leads to a significant competitive advantage:
– Faster decision making in areas such as launching new products, services and partnerships
– Improved client service through greater roles and responsibility definition across the organization
– Better investments as they can more easily be assessed and prioritized based on business impact
– Reduced risk from a more controlled and stable operating environment
– Higher colleague engagement and alignment from clearer strategic execution plans
– Greater long-term operational efficiency and optimization
• Businesses without a Target Operating Model typically:
– Deploy increasingly greater resources simply to manage the issue resolution and operational deficiencies.
– Decisions are slow due to the lack of clarity as to how to implement strategies
– Costs of adapting technology and processes increase exponentially
SLIDE 4
Where does the Target Operating Model Fit In?
• A Corporate Strategy must be reflected in a Target Operating Model for the Strategy to be successfully implemented
• The Target Operating Model comes below the vision and corporate strategy and above the operational planning and execution.
• The Target Operating Model can be created in layers
• The Target Operating Model for corporate, country and function level operations must be aligned and congruent with the Corporate Strategy

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
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.

As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

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).

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
