Simon Best : Change, disruption and opportunity | Zinnov Confluence '16 MunichZinnov
Keynote delivered by Simon Best, Head of New Business, CIS, Airbus Defence & Space
Technology evolution is relentless yet increasingly incremental – often leading to shorter windows of business opportunity per investment. Companies therefore need to be ever more agile to continuously evolve their core products, explore new areas and know when and where to shift to capture new opportunities. Many companies have a wealth of capabilities and through a mix of knowing their strengths, promoting agility and business adventure, they can find new competitive edges.

In this hypercompetitive economic scenario, the key differentiator for organizations is not just talent but the right kind of talent. Given this reality, organizations have had to come up with innovative recruitment strategies to stay ahead of the curve. Zinnov takes a look at some of the best practices that have emerged which are changing the employee context and the battle for premium talent.
Understanding Cost and Talent CharacteristicsZinnov
The primary objective of this article is to explore the cost characteristics of the global technology talent. Several economic factors also dominated the year 2011 including reduced consumer spending in the US, European debt crisis, and economic policy issues in Asia. The economic factors have medium to long term impact on the cost and availability of global talent pool. In addition to explaining cost characteristics of the global technology talent, this article will also examine the relationship between talent pool and macro-economic factors.
This report highlights some of the key trends on the top spenders and their operations in India and other global locations. The report reveals interesting differences in trends based on industry verticals and geographical preferences for R&D investments.
A typical method adopted by companies to meet the talent deficit includes deputing professionals from global centers of MNCs or local IT services companies in countries such as India, China, Philippines, and Brazil. The deputed workforce is staffed on projects for a defined period and usually acts as an interface to employees working at the global/offshore locations. Sourcing talent in this way helps companies to meet critical business requirements.
Global Virtual Reality market size is estimated to grow tenfold by 2020 to about USD 30 Bn; anticipating the surge, large enterprises are acquiring smaller niche startups in this area.

Keynote delivered by Steffen Schaefer, Head of Innovation for Mobility Management, Senior Principal at Siemens AG
Urban roads are clogged; Public Transport is at its limit in many places. But demand for urban mobility is only growing. It is predicted to triple by 2050. New mobility services like car sharing, bike sharing, ride sharing are widely emerging. Demand Responsive Transport and self-driving taxi services are becoming a significant new mode in urban transport. They are all largely possible due to new (digital) technologies. Digitalization is highly disruptive to the Mobility ecosystem. The value however of Mobile Internet, Internet of Things, and Cloud Computing is very clear. Aggressive and well funded new players who understand these technologies are entering the market. Traditional main line and public transport operators, Automotive OEMs, taxi companies, and road authorities must act, otherwise they will be left behind. And transport legislation must be adapted to create a suitable framework for a new ecosystem. The large number of mobility services from various providers brings a host of options to the traveler, but also certain complexity. What apps do I need for which region? Packaging and simplification of mobility services is essential. Mobility as a Service (MaaS) will help to do so, in a model that is very similar to Telco industries. A scalable, digital mobility platform will form the backbone of all mobility infrastructure and services.

202X & Future Growth Possibilities - Navigate at speed of the new realityZinnov
The pandemic has unlocked a ‘bold’ new mindset in leaders across the globe. Having not just survived but thrived in what could be called one of the most disruptive two years in recent times, leaders are now more ready than ever to unlock new paradigms of talent, technology, and operating models for their businesses. However, in a post-pandemic world, when every company has tasted the power of digital – the growth wars are going to become even more intense.
To win these growth wars, leaders will have to reimagine and reboot their approach across various aspects of business such as organizational culture, talent strategy, community building, employee experience, value creation, capability building, communication, and much more.
Inclusion And Diversity Maturity Benchmark – Creating An Inclusive Workplace ...Zinnov
What is the value of Inclusion and Diversity (I&D) for the C-suite, employees, and job seekers? This question is not always easy to answer, as there are several factors to consider, such as our personal experience, ecosystem awareness, and management approach, to name a few. Interestingly, COVID-19 has broadened the scope of I&D, from just being women-, LGBTQ+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer)-, and PwD (Persons with Disability)-friendly, to being considerate of other minority groups, including individuals dealing with bereavement, caregivers to family members, sole bread earners, etc.
There are several visible gaps observed when developing an enterprise-level I&D plan, most of which lack contextual and personal dimensions. Mastering such issues can be a challenge but can also be incredibly rewarding. It is about taking that crucial first step.
This latest Zinnov’s marquee report on ‘Creating an Inclusive Workplace’ touches upon these aspects and more, by delving deep into the factors that help organizations create workplaces that are not just inclusive, but diverse and empathetic as well. The report aims to help accelerate a mindset shift at an organizational level by empowering leaders to make informed decisions with I&D at the core of long-term business strategy.

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).

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
