CEO of 5W PR Ronn Torossian believes that as a manager, you are either considered a problem solver or a hindrance to progress. Which would you rather be?
Remote work has its advantages—flexibility, low or no overhead costs, and a greater pipeline of applicants from which to hire. And it has its disadvantages—less interaction, managers worried about how to tell if their employees are staying on task and communication challenges. How can companies maximize the advantages and minimize the disadvantages?

Why is focus a problem on teams?
The focus problem very often comes up when companies or teams are not doing well and do not know how to become successful again. They try to fix it via working more and harder. They are only reacting without stopping to analyze the problem. The thought is that there are a lot of things to do and then everything will be just like before. They don't understand that doing the same things does not help in getting new results. If teams and companies want to reach a new goal, they must act differently than before. And for that, a lot of time for preparation, analysis and creativity is necessary, but this extra preparation time is often not taken because everyone wants to reach the new goals quickly and without making any real changes.

In just 6 steps, Mike "Batman" Cohen will share how to locate, reach out to, attract, and build a meaningful rapport with Passive Candidates.
We all know the best candidates are usually the ones who are still employed and not necessarily looking - the elusive "Passive Candidate."
We've all heard of this phenomenon - but do they really exist?
Having recently given up on his search for Big Foot, we have Batman joining us to discuss not only his sightings of these "Passive Candidates," but also how to capture one with minimal collateral damage.
Like any potential myth, we must first understand how to identify a Passive Candidate so as to not confuse them with the other candidates who look the same.
But we assure you, they are are, in fact, very different.

The State of One-on-Ones: Survey to 1000 managers and employeesBryan Rusche
Our survey of over 1,000 managers and employees reveals that while both managers and employees agree that one-on-one meetings are incredibly important, they disagree on how well they’re being done.

Today I’d like to share a strategy for any business owner who works with a team or an assistant, even a part time assistant. Many business owners have difficulty delegating because they feel that it would take less time to do it themselves, rather than explain to someone how to do it, wait for it to come back to them and then go back and forth. This is how most entrepreneurs delegate and frankly, it is a waste of time.
To create a sustaining and positive change we have to create an understanding of the underlying problem, to make it urgent. Then we have to make it ready, make it happen and make it stick. That is the circle of sustainable change.

Working on teams you will deal with resistance. What To Do When Stakeholders Resist Your Project … And What Not To Do. The checklist provides guidance on how to effectively deal with resistant behavior … and what not to do.
Having good leaders facilitates collaboration in the workplace. The evolving technologies are creating various ways for communication among people. Trust is required in order to have fewer problems with accountability. See the mentioned slideshow to know how to establish trust and communication in a fast paced high tech world.
There’s no existing playbook for what we are experiencing
Right now, people all around the world are asking:

For some people and organisations, the next six months will be the turning point that helps them clarify their vision and build a better future for their organisations and the communities they serve.
For others, it will be a chaotic time that sets them back or sees them close.

Mike Cardus' How Teams Work - Biggest Team Leader Meeting Mistake Mike Cardus
Team Leaders’ Biggest Team Meeting Mistakes
Give members the chance to get to know one another, build trust, voice expectations and goals, establish credentials, discuss desired roles, raise concerns, etc…
This approach is viewed by some as waste of time instead of a necessary step in creating high performance.
When teams have problems later, everyone gets frustrated and things come to a halt.
Attached is a piece of work I’ve compiled and synthesized from many articles written on how leaders/managers should be leading their teams through COVID-19.

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.
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.

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.

3. The Problem
Often in our work, we do not get managers, designers,
developers, research experts etc working in the same
office premises.
We have to expand our teams beyond within same
premises to locations in different cities, states of
same country and sometimes even to continents.
To develop mutual understanding and trust among
teams, to bring all team members to team's
objectives, to keep them stay on track, to give fair
deal to all teams irrespective of their locations etc is
a huge challenge that if not considered carefully can
lead to disastrous results.
05/28/15
5. Collaborating with Remote Teams - Do’s
Define team's objective
Everyone must be clear on the common purpose and team's
goals.
Team Charter - describe team's goals, resources, roles and
responsibilities, deliverables, desired end results.
Helps Teams to stay focused and helps them get a big
picture
Arrange weekly status calls
Schedule team meetings and 1:1s on a regular basis
Pickup a Time that suits everyone.
Track Attendance to ensure milestones are met
05/28/15
6. Collaborating with Remote Teams - Do’s
Use proper and consistent communication methods
Team members need to,
Report their work status regularly
Train other team members as needed
Share knowledge
Inform if they are stuck with their work
Use Tools to share and discuss ideas
Video Calls - Skype, Google Hangouts, Instant Messenger
Project/Task Management - Basecamp, Trello, BusyFlow, Asana
File Management – Dropbox, Google Docs, GlassCubes
In person gatherings
Once in a while, have Team Retreats
Build connections and friendship that would in turn, help
build better and strong teams.
05/28/15
7. Collaborating with Remote Teams - Do’s
Reward them
Reward your team for good Work!
Learning how your team want to get recognized for an
achievement will help you make sure your efforts to reward
them is successful
For example, married people might want few days off so that they spend time with their
families, tech addicts might be interested in gadgets.
Sometime a sincere “Thank You” Note Would do
We have a simple Thank you board where people are encouraged to thank fellow
team members for their help
Don't forget they are the ones who worked sincerely, taking
all pressure, keeping aside their families and other priorities
and bring your company the success and money you looked
for.
05/28/15
8. Collaborating with Remote Teams - Dont’s
Don't be too bossy
Don't put strict rules!!!
Trust Your Team
Best and most productive teams are built from trust.
Managers are not sure if they can rely on remote teams to
produce results.
Trust is a key factor to decide if you want remote teams or
not
Do not be unfair to teams
Recognize every team and every individual's work however
small it may be
People get a feel of isolation or being left out or
unrecognized easily.
