The document discusses IBM's vision for the future of workspaces using cognitive systems. It describes how cognitive systems can understand, reason, learn, and interact with humans and data in ways similar to humans. Cognitive systems make use of virtually all data, learn over time, and can support and interact with humans. The document provides examples of how cognitive systems could be used in workspaces through cognitive inboxes and assistants that understand work, learn preferences over time, and offer insights. It notes that people currently spend 80% of their time on meetings, calls and emails, leaving little time for other work and discusses how cognitive tools could help address this issue. The vision is for workspaces that are more social, intelligent and enjoyable through cognitive assisted
What are the future trends in the Digital Workplace? Are we facing even bigger disruption from social, gamification, and the trends that have been prevalent over the last years or are we coming to a point where things are beginning to mature?
In this presentation - from Nordic Intranet Summit, November 2014 - I have looked at some common themes that I see across both the Nordic region and in the Intranet/Digital Workplace community as a whole.
Will there be Hoverboards? Not very likely... While innovations like these are exciting and fun, the real trends are what we see when we look at innovative solutions and innovative vendors.

Digital transformation: the digital workplaceMosoco Ltd
This document discusses how digital technologies are transforming the modern workplace. It covers topics like remote working, hot-desking, digital collaboration, and how HR functions can be improved with technology. Remote working allows for flexible hours but can impact team cohesion. Hot-desking saves on office space but impacts personal workspace and information security. Digital tools improve collaboration through real-time document editing and commenting. HR recruitment can leverage social media for cheaper hiring and employer branding, while employee skills and engagement can be better tracked online. Overall, the workplace is becoming more digitally-enabled and remote.
The document discusses the evolution of industrial revolutions from the 18th century to today. The first revolution involved steam power and mechanization, the second brought electricity and mass production, and the third focused on electronics and information technology. Now a fourth industrial revolution is underway, characterized by unprecedented processing power, data storage, and the merging of physical and digital worlds through technologies like the Internet of Things. This digital transformation requires companies to embrace new technologies to increase efficiency and shape their future.

How a digital workplace can boost bottom line of your business?BizPortals Solutions
Digital workplace fuels productivity and collaboration in organization. It uses advanced tools and technology to empower teams with global work collaboration, remote working, drives innovation and efficiency, and reduces conventional operating costs. These factors contribute to the improved bottom line of business; no matter what industry you are in, be it educational, financial, entertainment. The digital workplace benefits are undeniable and above all, adds immense value to businesses.
This document summarizes 9 key workplace trends: 1) Shifting from hierarchies to networks and closed to open organizations, 2) The increasing presence of smart technologies like big data, AI, and the Internet of Things, 3) The blending of globalization and localization as the world becomes more connected yet consumers want local options, 4) Having multiple generations in the workforce with different needs and expectations, 5) Integrating fun and playfulness into work, 6) Prioritizing purpose and social responsibility over profits alone, 7) Increasing speed of change and new business models, 8) Moving from big change programs to small, agile experiments, and 9) Transitioning from intuitive to evidence-based HR using people analytics and data.
Disruptive digital workplace: 3 approachesJane McConnell
The digital workplace disrupts enterprises. It challenges traditional ways of doing things. This presentation offers 3 approaches to defining your strategy towards the "digital workplace mode".
This document discusses cognitive collaboration and smart working technologies. It provides an overview of how cognitive collaboration uses intelligence and context to improve collaboration experiences. Key points include:
- Cognitive collaboration uses data from various sources like sensors, profiles, calendars to identify patterns and relationships for personalization.
- It aims to provide the right information to the right people at the right time and place, integrated into collaboration workflows for connected experiences.
- The evolution of rich people profiles with dynamic, contextual insights can help drive better engagement compared to static, one-dimensional profiles.
- Next generation cognitive meeting experiences may remove tedious tasks, improve the experience with features like facial detection, and increase productivity with tools like transcripts and in-meeting
1. The document describes the journey to achieving a digital workplace as a heroic quest, with planning, gathering guides, launching initiatives, and overcoming pitfalls along the way.
2. It advises securing local expertise to guide the transformation and address both technological and cultural challenges.
3. The launch requires careful planning, preparation, and proof of concept, as well as effective communication and adaptation if issues arise.
4. Post-deployment, common challenges include security conflicts, resistance to change from those accustomed to old ways of working, and ensuring proper integration.
Cognitive business leverages artificial intelligence systems that understand, reason, and learn like humans to turn information overload into a competitive advantage. By augmenting human thinking with machine-scale data processing, cognitive systems can help businesses outthink competitors by finding non-obvious patterns and disruptions. The rise of technologies like natural language processing, deep learning, and the internet of things have made it possible to extract insights from vast amounts of data, especially unstructured data. When combined with human judgment, cognitive systems usher in a new paradigm where man and machine together are greater than the sum of their parts for entrepreneurship.

The document discusses insights into virtual team collaboration and challenges with technology:
- 79% of employees work on virtual teams but 38% feel disengaged in virtual meetings and 72% prefer in-person collaboration
- Workers experience technology overload and 43% are frustrated by disconnected communication tools, with the average work week spending 28% of time on email
- Millennials now represent 36% of the workforce and will be the majority by 2015, with 87% becoming managers
This presentation covers:
How to cut through the technology hype.
Three big themes that are and will impact on workplace communication and collaboration.
One major underlying trend.
Orange Business Services Unified Communicationsduncanhawkins
Unified communications can help businesses work together more efficiently by integrating legacy systems and allowing employees to collaborate from anywhere using their smartphones. When communication and collaboration tools are connected, employees can easily see colleagues' availability to connect, hold real-time meetings, and share information. This level of connectivity and awareness has been shown to improve productivity, engagement, and reduce costs for many organizations.
Intersection18: Meta & Meet: The Core of your Digital and Physical Workplace ...Intersection Conference
Presented at Intersection18 Conference - intersectionconf.com
This session focuses on the necessary unifying basic infrastructure for the company that you are designing. We provide cases and theory of what's possible through a unifying digital workplace that has a huge potential to connect people, information and things.
The cases that we show are practices from the Flemish Green Party, the Port of Antwerp Authority and some other Belgian organisations that have started their search for more unifying digital workplaces, and that I support as an employee and freelancer.
Organisations, corporations, companies have the mission to be ONE: one group of people gathering around one mission and goal. And to achieve that goal, they start a never-ending process of organising things, information and people.
But the traditional hierarchical, waterfall-type, unifying mechanisms fail today. The VUCA world makes it much harder than it used to be. Volatility, complexity, ambiguity, uncertainty force every member of the organisation to be a sensor and an agent connecting and dynamizing inner and outer networks. But is our organisation built for this information-model?
IBM envisions the future of workspaces being transformed by cognitive technologies. Cognitive systems can understand vast amounts of data, including unstructured information like language. They learn from each interaction which allows them to develop expertise over time. Cognitive assistants will be able to understand a person's work, offer answers and insights, prioritize tasks, and surface recommendations to help workers be more productive. IBM is developing cognitive solutions like expert advisors and personal assistants to assist with collaboration and tasks in a new cognitive-assisted workspace.

Today, we have data – lots of it. We can process information – in many ways. And with these two tools and a little bit of creativity, we are discovering the vast depths of human behavior and by extension, a way to accurately predict the future -- and our future happiness. In fact, we can quantify human movement, behaviors, desires, and even moods on a scale that wasn’t possible before a series of advances in processing power, developments in psychology and social network science, and most importantly, access to data.
In advertising, industry, and humanity, we have experienced the evolution from Web 1.0 (informational) to Web 2.0 (platform) to Web 3.0 (semantic) to elements of Web 4.0 (anticipatory) – In this anticipatory era, what can we dream of next? Beyond addressability and increasing ad relevance, how can businesses utilize these advances in product development and other market initiatives? Can we make the leap from inductive logic to human-paralleled intuition? Can this make up for our human brain mechanics that make predicting our own happiness so difficult?
In this talk we’ll cover the evolutions in data access, models for information processing, and the science of collaboration to see not only how they have been leveraged in businesses but also how they are used to better understand human behavior, and hopefully in the near future, a little bit of happiness.
Semantic, Cognitive, and Perceptual Computing – three intertwined strands of ...Amit Sheth
Keynote at Web Intelligence 2017: http://webintelligence2017.com/program/keynotes/
Video: https://youtu.be/EIbhcqakgvA Paper: http://knoesis.org/node/2698
Abstract: While Bill Gates, Stephen Hawking, Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and others engage in OpenAI discussions of whether or not AI, robots, and machines will replace humans, proponents of human-centric computing continue to extend work in which humans and machine partner in contextualized and personalized processing of multimodal data to derive actionable information.
In this talk, we discuss how maturing towards the emerging paradigms of semantic computing (SC), cognitive computing (CC), and perceptual computing (PC) provides a continuum through which to exploit the ever-increasing and growing diversity of data that could enhance people’s daily lives. SC and CC sift through raw data to personalize it according to context and individual users, creating abstractions that move the data closer to what humans can readily understand and apply in decision-making. PC, which interacts with the surrounding environment to collect data that is relevant and useful in understanding the outside world, is characterized by interpretative and exploratory activities that are supported by the use of prior/background knowledge. Using the examples of personalized digital health and a smart city, we will demonstrate how the trio of these computing paradigms form complementary capabilities that will enable the development of the next generation of intelligent systems.

1) Research challenges in developing human-level AI include tackling the complexity of human intelligence such as faster learning without limited data, connections between cognitive skills, and reasoning about imaginary concepts.
2) Modern machine learning has achieved human-level performance in games and applications like translation but lacks human abilities such as commonsense reasoning and using background knowledge.
3) Promising research trends include techniques that combine symbolic and machine learning approaches, multi-modal learning, and generative models to support creativity.
"Understanding Humans with Machines" (Arthur Tisi)Maryam Farooq
At NYAI #16, Arthur Tisi explores deep neural networks that dominate advanced approaches to pattern recognition. Today neural networks transcribe our speech, recognize our pets, understand linguistics and fight our trolls. Recent advances by Geoff Hinton and the introduction of capsule networks only ups the ante. But despite the results, we have to wonder… why do they work so well?
In this session, Arthur Tisi, CEO and Founder of MeaningBot, will share some extremely remarkable results in applying deep neural networks to natural language processing (NLP), particularly in the areas of determining human traits in the areas of leadership, team building, personality, consumption preferences and more. Arthur will cite real world examples and share some of the math and science behind these advances including different variants of artificial neural networks, such as deep multilayer perceptron (MLP), convolutional neural network (CNN), recursive neural network (RNN), recurrent neural network (RNN), long short-term memory (LSTM), sequence-to-sequence model, and shallow neural networks including word2vec for word embeddings.
Principles of Artificial Intelligence & Machine LearningJerry Lu
Artificial intelligence has captivated me since I worked on projects at Google that ranged from detecting fraud on Google Cloud to predicting subscriber retention on YouTube Red. Looking to broaden my professional experience, I then entered the world of venture capital by joining Baidu Ventures as its first summer investment associate where I got to work with amazingly talented founders building AI-focused startups.
Now at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, I am looking for opportunities to meet people with interesting AI-related ideas and learn about the newest innovations within the AI ecosystem. Within the first two months of business school, I connected with Nicholas Lind, a second-year Wharton MBA student who interned at IBM Watson as a data scientist. Immediately recognizing our common passion for AI, we produced a lunch-and-learn about AI and machine learning (ML) for our fellow classmates.
Using the following deck, we sought to:
- define artificial intelligence and describe its applications in business
- decode buzzwords such as “deep learning” and “cognitive computing”
- highlight analytical techniques and best practices used in AI / ML
- ultimately, educate future AI leaders
The lunch-and-learn was well received. When it became apparent that it was the topic at hand and not so much the free pizzas that attracted the overflowing audience, I was amazed at the level of interest. It was reassuring to hear that classmates were interested in learning more about the technology and its practical applications in solving everyday business challenges. Nick and I are now laying a foundation to make these workshops an ongoing effort so that more people across the various schools of engineering, design, and Penn at large can benefit.
With its focus on quantitative rigor, Wharton already feels like a perfect fit for me. In the next two years, I look forward to engaging with like-minded people, both in and out of the classroom, sharing my knowledge about AI with my peers, and learning from them in turn. By working together to expand Penn’s reach and reputation with respect to this new frontier, I’m confident that we can all grow into next-generation leaders who help drive companies forward in an era of artificial intelligence.
I’d love to hear what you think. If you found this post or the deck useful, please recommend them to your friends and colleagues!
Loren McDonald - AI and Machine Learning Technologies: What They Mean for Mar...Julia Grosman
This document discusses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, and their implications for marketers. It defines AI as systems that can perform tasks normally requiring human intelligence, and machine learning as a subset that allows computers to learn from data without being programmed. The document provides examples of how AI and machine learning are currently used in marketing, such as generating ideal customer profiles and personalized content recommendations.

Future of Work and AI - Digital Disruption in the WorkplaceSotiris Karagiannis
Sotiris Karagiannis gave a presentation on the future of work and how AI will impact the workforce. He discussed how the workforce is shifting to be more programmable and intelligent. Young workers especially value flexibility, remote work, and innovation. New tools that combine human context and AI could enhance collaboration by transcribing discussions, detecting blind spots, and discovering insights. This could help distributed teams, education institutions, and others capture valuable knowledge from meetings. Augmented and virtual reality may also become important collaboration tools to help remote workers feel more present.
Die fortgeschrittene Digitalisierung – insbesondere der zunehmende Einsatz von Künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) - wird das Arbeiten in Organisationen tiefgreifend verändern. In diesem Kontext sind auch neuartige Kompetenzen für Führungskräfte gefordert. Artistic Intelligence etwa spielt dabei eine besondere Rolle. In diesem Workshop wird die fortgeschrittene Digitalisierung kurz illustriert. Im Zentrum stehen die Diskussion der Kernkompetenzen von Führungskräften im Zeitalter der KI und die Frage, wie diese entwickelt werden können.

Microservice Teams - How the cloud changes the way we workSven Peters
A lot of technical challenges and complexity come with building a cloud-native and distributed architecture. The way we develop backend software has fundamentally changed in the last ten years. Managing a microservices architecture demands a lot of us to ensure observability and operational resiliency. But did you also change the way you run your development teams?
Sven will talk about Atlassian’s journey from a monolith to a multi-tenanted architecture and how it affected the way the engineering teams work. You will learn how we shifted to service ownership, moved to more autonomous teams (and its challenges), and established platform and enablement teams.

Hand Rolled Applicative User ValidationCode KataPhilip Schwarz
Could you use a simple piece of Scala validation code (granted, a very simplistic one too!) that you can rewrite, now and again, to refresh your basic understanding of Applicative operators <*>, <*, *>?
The goal is not to write perfect code showcasing validation, but rather, to provide a small, rough-and ready exercise to reinforce your muscle-memory.
Despite its grandiose-sounding title, this deck consists of just three slides showing the Scala 3 code to be rewritten whenever the details of the operators begin to fade away.
The code is my rough and ready translation of a Haskell user-validation program found in a book called Finding Success (and Failure) in Haskell - Fall in love with applicative functors.

Graspan: A Big Data System for Big Code AnalysisAftab Hussain
We built a disk-based parallel graph system, Graspan, that uses a novel edge-pair centric computation model to compute dynamic transitive closures on very large program graphs.
We implement context-sensitive pointer/alias and dataflow analyses on Graspan. An evaluation of these analyses on large codebases such as Linux shows that their Graspan implementations scale to millions of lines of code and are much simpler than their original implementations.
These analyses were used to augment the existing checkers; these augmented checkers found 132 new NULL pointer bugs and 1308 unnecessary NULL tests in Linux 4.4.0-rc5, PostgreSQL 8.3.9, and Apache httpd 2.2.18.

Goedemiddag mijn naam is Reynout van Adrichem Boogaert ik ben een specialist die zich richt op hoe mensen samenwerken in een bedrijfs omgeving.
From tech savy people to people savy technology
It just works
Great user interface
Flashy design
Op dit moment leven in een hele interessante tijden omdat we nu een punt aangekomen dat de problemen die we nu hebben met samenwerken de tijd aan kwijt zijn opgelost kunnen worden.
De werkplek veranderd in hoog tempo.
Steeds meer ligt de nadruk op kleine flexibele agile teams, waarbij specialisten hun kennis en kunde delen aan meerdere teams tegelijkertijd.
Door de toename van de communicatie en het delen van informatie zien we dat email, sociale netwerken en document deel omgevingen de productivitieit en creativiteit niet meer groeit.
Mijn verhaal gaat over een geeft inzicht waar de knelpunten zitten en hoe cognitieve werkplek kan helpen om de medewerker verder te helpen.
Druk op je werk?
Praatje met de buren, lekker gewerkt , ja lekker email inbox opgeschoond?
Email forwarding business…. Email is toch niet je werk.
Wat is uw werk? Maken van rapporten, marketingplan, communicatieplan opstellen, maar toch niet emailen?
Creativiteit – nadenken – Think
Wat we zien in de praktijk dat mensen daar geen tijd meer voor nemen of vrij voor kunnen maken.
Email is net tetris, lege inbox, dan komt er vanzelf een nieuwe.
Email is om te informeren, niet om te communiceren.
In de loop van de tijd is email is verworden tot een tool van alles. Taken lijst, schutting tool, attachement verdeler.
Daarnaast zijn er er de nodige document sharing tools bijgekomen, maar uiteindelijk…
Nu, als we kijken naar de overload aan informatie die we vandaag de dag dagelijks dienen te verwerken en vooral ook als we onze mailbox openen na een verlofperiode dan denk ik dat velen onder ons hetzelfde gevoel hebben ’s morgens als de persoon op deze foto. – email, de sharepoint,de social feeds don’t work anymore
Hoe vol is uw inbox als u een dag hier zit, laat staan twee weken op vakantie bent?
90% of the world’s data is generated over the last 2 year
“It’s not information overload. It’s filter failure.” ― Clay Shirky
Today’s collaboration tools weren’t designed to handle so much information- in fact, they often cause more interruption
Twee:
In a recent study of The IBM Institute of Business Value we saw that the time people spend in collaborative activities has increased by more then 50% in the last 2 decades. More then 50%!!! That is a lot. So, Collaboration solutions that support this become more and more important.
People spend about 80% of their workday on meetings, phone calls, and emails, which leaves us little time to get the real critical work done.
I don't know if you recognize that? Do you? I do in fact:-)
3M = managers, meetings, mails
Naast de overvlloed aan email en informatie speelt er nog een probleem mee: concentreren op de taak.
Uit onderzoek blijkt dat we ongeveer elke kwartier worden gestoord en daarna een kwartier nodig hebben om weer op taak kunnen focussen.
Zelfs als we thuis werken is er altijd wel ergens een notification die af gaat.
frequent interruptions can lead to more stress, errors in your work and require you to spend even more time – as much as 25 minutes – refocusing, can we really afford to be interrupted so many times?
Verhaal in de ”zone” werken.
Wanneer had u voor het zo voor het laatst zo een moment dat u zo in de flow zat?
De uitdaging is dan ook:
Hoe geeft je mensen de focus terug op het werk, tijd om creatie, innovatief en productief te zijn
En uit eindelijk ook weer plezier in het werk krijgen, door
Gebruikers gemak het zoeken en vinden van content en expertise te verbeteren
En zoals ik al zei bij de introductie: het zijn hele interessante tijden.
We zien dat nu een aantal elementen bijelkaar komen als een soort perfect storm.
Generation tech Conversation
From tech savy people to people savy technology
Nieuwe generatie medewerkers. Niet alleen Y/Z generatie, maar iedereen. Door consumenten websites /apps kan iedereen op Facebook / Linkedin.
Wie heeft er een handleiding gelezen? Ik niet. Daabij zien we dit gemak ook richting bedrijfs software gaat.
Het kan niet zo zijn dat men op het werk met groene schermen werkt en in het weekend state of the art los gaat op internet

Cloud, mobile and social have changed the way people collaborate
Things changed with the advent of cloud, mobile and social. The proliferation of social communication tools in the consumer space started to put pressure on vendors of enterprise collaboration software to adopt, adapt or get out. Then, as the so-called “Millennials,” a.k.a. the generation that became the main recipient of these new ways of interacting started to join the workforce, the pressure to provide more advanced tools became a force with the potential of changing the market like never before:
38% feel that outdated collaboration processes hinder their company’s innovation
82% believe that brainstorming meetings are effective
74% prefer to collaborate in small groups to generate big ideas
Growth number of freelancers
Frustrated by the lack of effective collaboration tools, they use their own (BYOC)
Millennials are so far ahead of the collaboration curve that they have moved beyond BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) into a culture of BYOC (Bring Your Own Collaboration). Frustrated with the lack of formal collaboration tools they find on the job, they use their own—bringing Dropbox, Evernote, Asana, and join.me into the workplace, they feel empowered to use whatever tool they need whether IT provides it or not.
Collaboration is second nature to these digital natives. They’ve grown up in a connected world and feel entitled to connectivity that stretches virtually around the world. At work, they expect to find something like the Skype/Snapchat world. If you watch kids today, you'll see that they're forever texting, connecting via Skype, sharing their content, and throwing documents back and forth; as a way to collaborate on homework assignments. The new workforce knows collaboration, needs to collaborate, and feels empowered to collaborate with anyone, anywhere. If they can’t collaborate, they leave—either to another company or off to do their own thing.
So, let me introduce you to Cognitive systems and what the big difference is with traditional, or what we sometimes call rule based systems in somewhat more technical terms. Traditional systems are programmed to answer specific questions, based on the results of a logical sequence. So, if I ask for example what is the route to Utrecht, then they can provide me with a map with directions, because they can find the answer in th
eir database or calculate the results by using coordinates and some program behind it to do that. They are depending on organized information to search trough. Analytics, which is by the way also part of CS can provide already insights into our data. Cognitive systems however, can turn this insight into knowledge.
Cognitive Systems are fundamentaly different in 4 ways:
1. They can understand natural language. So, you can have a dialog with them, just as you would do with humans. Now, you can argue that there are also other systems like Google and Siri from Apple that can do that as well. However, Cognitive Systems can also understand or "read" not only structured and unstructered data, but also images, videos, etc...
2. Reason. Like traditional systems are rule based as explained, CS are probablistic. So, they will or can provide multiple answers with a probability factor, based on the context of the your question.
3. They use machine learning techniques to get better and provide better answers with each interaction. That is also why they will request feedback after providing an answer, so next time the answer is even more correct.
4. Interact: Like "humans" they can see (to be able to extract information from media like images and video) and can talk and hear. They can just not feel, because that would be scary right :-). That is maybe for a next version :-)
So, today we see new types of business apear, so called COGNITIVE BUSINESSES, that HAVE SYSTEMS THAT CAN ENHANCE DIGITAL INTELLIGENCE EXPONENTIALLY.
So, to summarize, as it is very important that you understand the fundamental concepts:
Cognitive systems are different. They are not programmed, but pose answers based on data and probability. They can make use of virtually ALL data and also combine different types of data to come with the right answer, without the need for your IT organization to first structure the data and do a project of X amount of time, to be able to do something with the available data. And they can support and interact with humans in a natural way.
The organizations that we see adapting Cognitive Systems, they combine traditional systems to provide analysis and insights and Cognitive systems to support decision making, using huge amounts of diverse data and probablistic results and interact more naturally with their business users and this at the speed of light.
Watson searches millions of documents to find thousands of possible answers
Collects evidence and uses a scoring algorithm to rate the quality of this evidence
Ranks all possible answers based on the score of its supporting evidence
We see this assistance showing up in the form of two new type of team members.
Personal Assistants that help workers to prioritize work and will handle an increasing number of basic, but time consuming tasks, like responding to email, scheduling meetings, and even helping users to understand the best tone for communicating with others based on their personalities. So, this is like a very fast and efficient office assistant helping you any time when needed.
Experts will be sources that are trained to provide answers or insights to workers on a particular topic. If you remember Watson playing Jeopardy, you get a sense of how this could work, but rather than answering general questions, we foresee a time when Watson experts will be able to answer question, or point users to additional sources, on a huge number of topics includes industry specific, role specific or general business sources.
Ik kan me voorstellen dat u nu denkt hoe ziet het er uit. Dus Show me the money.

Same thing happens here in the social world where I am able to have Watson understand the corpus of knowledge and share it socially.
So this purple highlight is using natural language processing to find this repeatable collaborative pattern. This will set up a meeting based on the context of the email
As with the previous example, Cognitive is embedded into the experience, sometimes in unseen ways, and in case of this Connections Wiki editor created by Ephox, Watson is a core capability that helps me find find social content, experts, and rich content from inside the Connections network and from the web. It bases recommendations based on the content I’ve already created and in this case I can drag a video into the right place in the content I’ve been authoring.
