Data management solutions always look good “on paper”. When it's just a matter of proposals and ROI projections on gleaming white stock, the “abstract” seems perfect. It's only when you go live, and real people get involved that things can get messy. If you don't have a clear, strategic implementation plan in place, who knows what could happen.
You need a plan. And Synergis has a proven plan. During this webcast, you’ll discover...
• Why creating alignment and generating positive buzz are essential to success
• What 6 critical steps must be followed to insure successful implementation
• Which best practices will make you a hero
• The most common pitfalls that impact ROI
Are you crazy? Using Scrum, Kanban, SAFe and DSDM in one Company!!!Matthew Caine
All four Agile approaches in combination in one company! What a radical thought, especially with the fearsome flames of the agile methodology wars!
It all started with Scrum versus Scrum. Then Scrum versus Kanban. Then everybody against DSDM. And finally late last year things escalated with the global take-up of the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe).
Sadly dogmatic Agilistas continue to see just one (or two) of the four approaches as the solution to everyones’ problems. Despite the fact that no single one can be the silver bullet.
Yet despite this dogmatism, Agile and Lean has made a massive difference to people’s lives. Hundreds of thousands if not millions of IT professionals and hobbyists benefit daily from these approaches. So we must put our ego to one side and remember that the approaches are not about a particular methodology: They are about people and results.
By putting people and results first we can illustrate in this session why, how and where all four approaches (Scrum, Kanban, SAFe & DSDM) are applicable. Incredibly we will see that a particular type of organization should consider all four!
To support this discussion, we will examine different types of organization, each with their own set of characteristics. For each we will explore which approaches would be the most appropriate now and in the future plus risks.

Practical Tips to Increase SharePoint Adoption Kanwal Khipple
Have you deployed SharePoint but none of your employees are using it?

With thousands of vendors in the marketplace, organizations are overwhelmed with choices around building their marketing technology stack. By evaluating tool choices according to a customer experience maturity model and aligning the results of that evaluation with the customer journey, organizations can make more intelligent choices around process gaps and acquire appropriate technologies to fill those gaps by relying on thoughtful analysis and fitness to purpose rather than being hijacked by slick vendor demonstrations. Using hands-on exercises, Seth Earley and Steve Walker will guide participants through the steps to understanding customer lifecycles and aligning stages with classes of technology in order to improve engagement. Attendees will leave with an approach for developing their own marketing technology blueprint.

Agile adoption for automotive systems softwareJulian Holmes
Visteon Electronics delivers innovative in-vehicle user experiences through its core automotive and consumer electronics-derived solutions in user interfaces, connectivity and open architectures. To do so effectively the organisation needs to be able to react to changing client needs, new industry trends, and deliver a rapid return on investment. To achieve these goals, a new "Agile" approach was sought, one that needed to cater for large, globally-distributed teams, integrating both software and hardware into the solutions being delivered. This presentation, originally delivered at the IBM Innovate 2014 conference, tells the story so far, the challenges faced, and the benefits that have been achieved.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Grote partijen zijn al een tijdje onderweg met retail media. Ondertussen worden in dit domein ook de kansen zichtbaar voor andere spelers in de markt. Maar met die kansen ontstaan ook vragen: Zelf retail media worden of erop adverteren? In welke fase van de funnel past het en hoe integreer je het in een mediaplan? Wat is nu precies het verschil met marketplaces en Programmatic ads? In dit half uur beslechten we de dilemma's en krijg je antwoorden op wanneer het voor jou tijd is om de volgende stap te zetten.

Marvin neemt je in deze presentatie mee in de voordelen van non-endemic advertising op retail media netwerken. Hij brengt ook de uitdagingen in beeld die de markt op dit moment heeft op het gebied van retail media voor niet-leveranciers.
Retail media wordt gezien als het nieuwe advertising-medium en ook mediabureaus richten massaal retail media-afdelingen op. Merken die niet in de betreffende winkel liggen staan ook nog niet in de rij om op de retail media netwerken te adverteren. Marvin belicht de uitdagingen die er zijn om echt aansluiting te vinden op die markt van non-endemic advertising.

–
and
aXended
various

and

together
with
reviews
of

of
the
original

was
carried
out
by
me,
including
other
senior
managers
at
different
stages
to
encourage
buy-‐in.
• They
followed
up
my
aXendance
at
an
Eloqua
event
and
weren’t
even
on
the
original
list
!
I
thought
we
were

small.
• We
looked
at
Salesforce,

• They
were
the
only
company
who
understood

was
MA,
not

They
also
fully

Lyft + Oracle
33. Lyft-Off!
Lyft’s success has resulted in the acquisition of hundreds of new employees over a short amount of time. In September of 2013 we
were about 100 employees; a year later we are over 350. The company is stronger than ever with the influx of new people, but the
sheer number of recent hires presents a challenge as we strive to evolve our systems and maintain the sanity of our human
resources department.
Challenges of rapid-growth:
Lyft’s roots are typical for a successful start-up; we grew as needed and had an additive approach to our HR solutions. When we
could no longer get away without something, we found a quick solve to move us forward. This resulted in a hodgepodge of different
platforms and systems.
With the explosion of employee growth over the last year, we could no longer rely on “scrappy” methods. We needed to
accommodate the current demands of our workforce, while scaling for the future. It was time to find a more robust solution.
Solutions:
Our solution to HR needs was Oracle Fusion. The Lyft People team is excited to soon have the ability to properly tackle our growth
through a robust plug-and-play system that provides access across platforms. and creates an easy pathway to solutions for our
employees, particularly managers, and most meaningfully for our human resources team.
Never a Dull Moment…
34. The Game Plan - Why We’ve Chosen Oracle Fusion HCM
Specification:
Ability to selectively implement specific HCM modules
Streamlining:
Access to key Oracle HCM leadership and an implementation partner to tailor the product to Lyft
needs
Analytics:
Predictive analytics to help drive HR decisions
Competitive Pricing:
Product and implementation cost savings
35. Outcomes
What we will now be able to achieve:
With the right Oracle Fusion tools in place, we will have the capability to properly manage current
and future employees in a well-rounded way. The Oracle process has helped us take stock and
analyze our company needs. Fusion will integrate and streamline our processes by providing a
consolidated space for most of our HR portals. It will also solve for compliance issues as it
becomes a storage space for employee information.
Having the ability to be nimble, proactive, and preparatory helps stabilize our company, and
provide an exemplary work environment that will contribute to employee loyalty and further
establish Lyft as a key competitor and model of the start-up world.
