Innovation and Entrepreneurship-Entrepreneurship and innovation, relates to sustainable business. For sustainable business, entrepreneurs must focus on producing green products or services, so to reduce the waste by using alternative energy sources. They must frequently go beyond what has worked in the past and seek new and different perspectives and connections. It is for this reason that businesses are increasingly forming relationships to other groups to engage them in thinking strategically about solutions and new venture opportunities.

This case deals with a medium-sized engineering company's experiences with initiating CSR. It covers aspects like the rationale for CSR, its relationship with strategy, participation in CSR and speed breakers on the path to building a CSR culture in the company. After sustained growth over a few years, the top management has decided to look beyond profits and embarked on CSR. They allocated 2% of their PBT to their Trust to oversee CSR activities. They began the activities about one and a half years ago. The engagement began with much enthusiasm but with time, it started losing steam. The senior management has also been having a rethink about CSR strategy. Mr. Khonde, the HR head now has to suggest ways of mainstreaming CSR within the company.

Accelerating Future of Work using Sustainable Agile ManifestoSandeep Joshi
We all are experiencing an unprecedented reality – something that is beyond the super VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous) world. The pace of change is exponential, the degree of expectations from people, employees and stakeholders are extreme. It’s not business as usual and hence we need to rethink and redefine how we work, live and thrive inthe new normal.In this session, we will go through the CORE Values of the Sustainable Agile Manifesto and understand how these values are helping organizations prepare for the new normal and accelerate their transformation journey.
Lean approach in service sector more emphasis speed and cost by eliminating waste in time and resources yet improved the overall quality of service. While Green approach in services focus on reducing environmental risks and improve social performance towards customer values. This paper analyzes the similarities that transform from Lean Service to Green Service and provide the understanding why we need to transform to Green Service to achieve socio-environmental sustainability.
Why facility managers are crucial to introducing sustainabilityJohn Machado
As technology becomes more accessible than ever, sustainability initiatives are becoming exponentially easier for companies to implement. Targets are being put in place by companies, motivated by factors like climate awareness, customer expectations or regulations being set by governmental bodies. At the centre of this nexus of change stands the facility manager, making it possible to conceptualise and implement these plans.

#Climatechange is causing global #water shortages, so #SABIC is working hard to reduce freshwater usage across our businesses. Our 2019 #Sustainability Report spells out key achievements, including a 12.6% reduction in water intensity compared to the baseline year of 2010. We’re implementing a range of strategies—from using condensate instead of clean water in evaporators to installing a microfiltration unit in drought-prone Spain. In addition to internal water conservation, #SABIC is doing their part to help local communities optimize water resources.

As managing ESG and sustainability issues have become mainstream business practice, there is no doubt in the minds of corporate leaders that ESG/sustainability issues should be a top priority agenda in boardrooms. However, it is still challenging to integrate ESG/sustainability considerations fully into business practices due to the difference between short-term financial goals and longer-term ESG/sustainability performance. Thus, top executives usually give weight to the shorter-term financial metrics when trade-offs between financial and ESG/sustainability performance come into focus. How can companies achieve short-term profits and ESG/sustainability goals at the same time?

In dit webinar gaan we in op business ecosystemen: netwerken van mensen en organisaties met een gemeenschappelijk doel, zoals het faciliteren van de energietransitie. Bijvoorbeeld het ecosysteem voor de ontwikkeling van de waardeketen rondom waterstof. Met ecosystemen kun je producten en services van partners tot een unieke overkoepelende (ecosysteem) waardepropositie combineren. Hoe sterker het ecosysteem, hoe groter de mogelijke waarde en concurrentievoordeel.
In dit webinar geven Johan Ferket en Niels Meerdink antwoord op de vragen:
• Wat is een business ecosteem?
• Wat zijn de voordelen van werken met ecosystemen?
• Wat zijn uitdagingen en valkuilen?
• Welke succesvolle voorbeelden zijn er?
Na dit webinar weet je wat de waarde kan zijn van business ecosystemen in bijvoorbeeld de energietransitie.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
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).
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. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations.
