The document discusses building a community of practice for data science in Brussels. It begins by defining communities of practice and their benefits. It then describes how the Brussels Data Science Community was started as an open, non-commercial meetup group focused on personal development and data science projects that address social issues. The community organizes various activities like monthly meetups, workshops, surveys, and hackathons. It has grown significantly in members and impact. The presentation concludes by describing plans to establish a legal entity called the European Data Innovation Hub that would support the community and related startups with shared office space.
Blowing Up Customer Engagement | Dan McClure, Innovation Design Practice Lead...
Every organisation is coming upon a crisis of value, yours too. And yet we’ve been content to use customer experience like cheap paint on a rickety old building, all too often investing in small ideas in service of the status quo. With entire enterprises vulnerable to being swept away, it’s time to blow up our definition of customer experience.

Design System as a Product
Design System as a Product - Maria Elena Duenias, Esther Butcher
Design systems are a great example where web development and design meet. You can find innumerable resources on the internet, books and conferences on how to build them, and how they are exactly what your organization needs. But, building one requires a lot more than following a recipe. In this talk we are going to discuss how to build a design system as an internal product, and how it evolves to become what the users need.
Designers, Developers & Dogs
Designers, Developers and Dogs: Finding the magic balance between product and tech - Charlotte Vorbeck, ShareNow and Sahil Bajaj
How can an agile delivery team become a successful product team? When does collaboration between product and tech succeed and when not? Why do people in some teams inspire each other while others in the same environment don't speak the same language? In this talk we want to share our learnings and experiences from rebuilding an internal tool for customer support at ShareNow. What could have been just another boring rewrite surprisingly became one of our best experiences in collaboration. We will look at how a joint discovery phase helped us to come up with a shared vision, how a better team setup enabled us to do the necessary work, how focusing on the customer kept us aligned during our journey, and also how we built upon existing collaborative techniques to achieve this new level of cooperation and trust.
Cloud-first for fast innovation
During this presentation, Ward Coessens, ThoughtWorks' Consultant will share best practice insights from the Daimler partnership, helping the automotive group on their cloud innovation journey.
More impact with flexible teams
How to create more business impact with flexible teams - Jan Hegewald, Zalando & Rebekka Beels, Zalando
Usually, Software Engineering teams are organized around a fixed set of components which they develop further and maintain. Such component teams gain a high level of expert knowledge about their services. However, with agile product development, it often is difficult to implement the most important initiatives with such teams. This leads to a situation where the teams do not work on the most relevant business topics but on those for the respective team. At Zalando, we introduced a new model where we shape teams flexibly around business goals to create the highest impact. How we organize these teams and which challenges especially for the software quality need to be addressed, will be explored in this talk.

Culture of Innovation
Amazon’s Culture of Innovation & The Working Backwards session
Working Backwards; leading organisations achieve growth by marrying customer-obsession with a modern technology strategy. Where do you begin? By focusing on the customer.
During this webinar, Amazon will discuss key innovation principles which have been instrumental in their continued success and their Working Backwards approach.
Dual-Track Agile
Dual-Track Agile for Discovery & Development - Adriana Katrandzhieva
The talk will focus on one of the ways teams can ensure continuous delivery and design in their projects. The so-called ‘Dual-track’ model shows the parallel tracks of discovery and development throughout the product design and delivery process. These continually feedback into each other informing new hypothesis that can be tested in order to be proven/disproven. This model is not always easy to implement out of the box and so I will share my own experiences in applying it in practice - what worked, what didn't and how the model can be adjusted to fit different teams and organisational environments.
Developer Experience
This document discusses developer experience (DX) and how to design for it. It begins with introductions of the presenters and defines DX as the experience developers have when using a product. It then discusses understanding developer pain points and personas, designing the developer journey, and using different interfaces like APIs, portals, and CLIs. The document outlines challenges in the design process like getting buy-in and measuring DX metrics. It argues that improving DX benefits business goals like enabling experiments, increasing flexibility, and attracting talent. It concludes that developers are also users and designers, and that DX is important to consider for business reasons.
When we design together
When we design together - Sabrina Mach, Ammara Gafoor and James Emmott
From three distinct perspectives, this talk will contend that design is an activity undertaken by everyone in a software development team. It occurs throughout the process of delivery — not only at the beginning or the end — and it is a powerful instrument for learning about and adapting to the problems our work seeks to solve, which is a shared responsibility. Making the best use of our multidisciplinary expertise in the activity of design requires forms of collaboration that are too often disrupted by the role-based silos that keep us separated and weaken the valuable contribution our diverse approaches could make to our collective efforts. If you care about accelerating time to market, improving customer experience, or building happy and productive teams, you will want to know why and how it matters that we believe ‘design is in everything that we do’.
Hardware is hard(er)
Hardware is hard(er): designing for distributed user experiences in IoT - Claire Rowland, www.clairerowland.com
Designing connected devices and hardware-enabled services is significantly more complex than pure software. There are more devices on which code can run, connectivity and data sharing patterns to consider, and often multiple and varied touchpoints for users to interact with. Pulling this all together into a coherent experience involves strong collaboration between design and engineering, and a systems thinking approach to UX. In this talk, we’ll introduce what designers need to know about the tech, what engineers need to know about UX for IoT, and how to facilitate the whole-collaboration needed to create great products.

Customer-centric innovation enabled by cloud
Working Backwards - Leading organisations achieve growth by marrying customer-obsession with a modern technology strategy. In this upcoming webinar, we’ve partnered with AWS to bring you exclusive insights from one of the world’s most innovative companies, Amazon.
Amazon's Culture of Innovation
The document discusses Amazon's culture of innovation. It emphasizes starting with the customer and working backwards to develop solutions. Amazon focuses on small, autonomous teams that are nimble and own their work. The company's leadership principles guide decision-making and encourage inventiveness, customer obsession, high standards, and long-term thinking to solve customer problems.
When in doubt, go live
The document discusses techniques for establishing shorter feedback loops between developing features and measuring user behavior, including:
1) Shadow traffic which runs new and old features simultaneously to get early feedback without users noticing a difference.
2) Visual reports which assess the quality of a feature through a report (e.g. HTML page) of key metrics.
3) A/B testing which statistically compares user behavior between a control and test group after exposing each to a different variant of a feature. Sample size considerations and statistical significance are discussed.
Don't cross the Rubicon
As a tech leader at ThoughtWorks, a large part of my job involves recommending practices to our clients so they can build and deliver good quality software faster. In doing so repeatedly for many clients I have created a toolkit that contains practical advice from being on the ground. This is what we do, we know it works. When Julius Caesar entered Rome with his army by crossing the river Rubicon, he did something that couldn’t be undone ever again. In your journey as a leader, avoid mistakes that are difficult to correct later. Here are a set of practices that you want to adopt as soon as possible.
Error handling
Handling error conditions is a core part of the software we write. However, we often treat it as a second class citizen, obscuring our intent through abuse of null values and exceptions that make our code hard to understand and maintain. In the functional programming community, it is common to use datatypes such as Option, Either or Validated to make our intentions explicit when dealing with errors. We can leverage the compiler to verify that we are handling them instead of hoping for the best at runtime. This results in code that is clearer, without hidden path flows. We’ll show how we have been doing this in Kotlin, with the help of the Arrow library.
Your test coverage is a lie!
Mutation testing in software development surfaced in academia during the 70's and has recently seen a resurgence in popularity as a legitimate tool in your testing arsenal. In this session we review the conventional testing pyramid, modern approaches to testing software and look at how mutation testing can help fill in those blind spots.
Docker container security
The document discusses security challenges and best practices for Docker containers. It outlines risks at different stages of the container lifecycle from image development to deployment. Key risks include lack of isolation, complex ecosystems, and known vulnerabilities. The document recommends practices like using linting and scanning during development, restricting resources and access controls at deployment, and signing images from trusted sources to improve container security.
Redefining the unit
Mainframes handle 30 billion business transactions each day and 87% of all credit card transactions*, they are not traditionally associated with flexible, fail-fast development approaches. Can we bring the practices of agile, CI/CD and fully automated deployments to applications running on a mainframe? During our talk, we'll tell you a story about test automation; redefining the smallest testable unit of a program. And we'll discuss our learnings from introducing continuous integration and agile practices to the world of insurance and mainframes.

Do No Harm: Do Technologists Need a Code of Ethics?
Nothing is neutral, and the technology we design and build, isn’t objective. How do we ensure that what starts out as a great idea, doesn’t unintentionally (or intentionally) harm? Trolling, racially biased algorithms, surveillance capitalism, how do we assess our creations through an ethical lens so our products don’t amplify social biases? Do we need a code of ethics? How do we build ethics in our practice?
In this talk Sofia explores these questions and builds on the conversations that are happening globally within the technology community. She also talks about the Responsible Tech Playbook that ThoughtWorks is building which collate ethical frameworks and explore how to use them in design and delivery of software.
SPEAKER:
Sofia Woods, Senior Experience Designer, ThoughtWorks
Sofia has over 10 years experience solving complex problems and designing digital products, experiences and services across government, financial services, transport and the private sectors. She’s a multi-disciplined designer, experienced with the whole gamut of Human Centred Design approaches including UX research, user interface design, prototyping/ testing and can apply this approach in large scale software delivery environments. Blending human centred design with strategy and technology, she creates meaningful experiences that transform.
Machine Learning for Product Managers
Machine learning offers huge potential across digital products but it continues to come with so much hype that it leaves us with more questions than answers. What new thing can we build we couldn't before? How do we introduce intelligence into existing products? How much data do we really need? In this talk we've given an overview of practical concerns regarding building machine learning powered products through a set of standard product management lenses including customer value, commercial viability, technical feasibility and end usability. We step back and consider the strategic implications of Machine Learning and the potential to build sustainable competitive advantage, before diving into the practicalities of establishing ML product teams.
Making best-in-class security ubiquitous - Why security is no longer just an ...
The evolving nature of cyber threats makes security a strategic imperative, and a collective responsibility. Today’s business leaders have a duty to set the tone from the top, taking steps to ensure security extends beyond technology to become part of organisational culture. This talk explores why security is no longer a technology issue with technical solutions, but a board-level priority that needs to be factored into the highest levels of corporate strategy.
Security by default - Building continuous cyber-resilience.
Single-line of defence security is no longer enough. Organisations need to build security across everything they do - business processes, data handling, platforms, products and services, and understand security as an evolving, responsive, agile setup. In this talk, Dave explains how technology foundations for secure product development and an agile security setup across the board can promote sustainable innovation and enhance cyber-resilience overall.

L'indice de performance des ports à conteneurs de l'année 2023
Une évaluation comparable de la performance basée sur le temps d'escale des navires
L'objectif de l'ICPP est d'identifier les domaines d'amélioration qui peuvent en fin de compte bénéficier à toutes les parties concernées, des compagnies maritimes aux gouvernements nationaux en passant par les consommateurs. Il est conçu pour servir de point de référence aux principaux acteurs de l'économie mondiale, notamment les autorités et les opérateurs portuaires, les gouvernements nationaux, les organisations supranationales, les agences de développement, les divers intérêts maritimes et d'autres acteurs publics et privés du commerce, de la logistique et des services de la chaîne d'approvisionnement.
Le développement de l'ICPP repose sur le temps total passé par les porte-conteneurs dans les ports, de la manière expliquée dans les sections suivantes du rapport, et comme dans les itérations précédentes de l'ICPP. Cette quatrième itération utilise des données pour l'année civile complète 2023. Elle poursuit le changement introduit l'année dernière en n'incluant que les ports qui ont eu un minimum de 24 escales valides au cours de la période de 12 mois de l'étude. Le nombre de ports inclus dans l'ICPP 2023 est de 405.
Comme dans les éditions précédentes de l'ICPP, la production du classement fait appel à deux approches méthodologiques différentes : une approche administrative, ou technique, une méthodologie pragmatique reflétant les connaissances et le jugement des experts ; et une approche statistique, utilisant l'analyse factorielle (AF), ou plus précisément la factorisation matricielle. L'utilisation de ces deux approches vise à garantir que le classement des performances des ports à conteneurs reflète le plus fidèlement possible les performances réelles des ports, tout en étant statistiquement robuste.
