Agile Multilaterals? Pushing Innovation in an International Organization for ...Lean Startup Co.
Last September, the international community agreed on an ambitious global agenda, the Sustainable Development Goals. The United Nations development system is now challenged with an enormous task and there is broad consensus that innovation is necessary to meet these global goals. But what does innovation mean in the context of this global agenda? How do UN organizations that are predicated upon rather inflexible multi-year planning instruments and risk aversion embed innovation in their businesses processes and culture?
This is a strategic leveraging slide presented under the DBA course of Strategic Issues and Management. It discusses the means by which the company can develop or improve its strategic position thru the human resources and the value chain.
Nel 2015 è morto il web design?
Più probabilmente penso che sia morto un approccio serializzato e sconnesso dal resto.
In fondo parliamo di progettare non di disegnare.
Public health must develop a capacity for design thinking.
There is both a growing need and opportunity to build collaboration between public health and the design community to address the critical health issues of our time. Public health interventions, particularly to address complex problems, must become more human-centered, providing environments and experiences that make healthy behaviors easy, enjoyable, and economical parts of everyday life.
This document provides a case study from a Greater Good Studio project that can form the basis of a new discipline: design for public health. Eight principles bring design thinking practices to life through tangible examples.

How to build your 10x-ValueFactory in 90 days (introduction)
We leven in opwindende tijden - waarin de manier waarop we met elkaar werken sterk aan het veranderen is, waarin de focus naast presteren, veel meer is gaan liggen op de mens. Leiders zijn zich meer en meer bewust dat als het hun mensen goed gaat, het ook goed gaat met de organisatie.
Uitspraken binnen deze context zijn gedaan door:
Wendy Woods - Sr. Partner Boston Consulting Group: “Smart, committed people. They are our most precious and powerful resource. And many of the innovations that people have created recently enable even more people to contribute in even more substantial ways. That’s a significant part of why I’m so optimistic about our future.”
Ed Catmull - Co-founder Pixar: “Talent is rare. Management’s job is not to prevent risk but to build the capability to recover when failures occur.”
Of denk aan het “Growth Manifesto” initiatief van Neville Isdel (Coca-Cola) hoe terug te gaan naar “living our values”, hoe beter samen te werken en mensen te ontwikkelen om ultieme prestatie mogelijk te maken.
Bovenstaande voorbeelden schijnen hun licht over desastreuze focus op alleen presteren bij bedrijven zoals Enron, Lehman Brothers, Atari, Kodak …
Het feit dat klanten producten en/of diensten afnemen geeft aan dat er waarde wordt toegevoegd. De vraag is:
Welke waarde gaat morgen - onbewust ? - gewenst worden?
Wanneer is morgen?
Hoe maken wij contact met morgen?
Hoe creëert u uw eigen WaardeFabriek die antwoorden geeft op deze vragen?
Uw eigen WaardeFabriek?
DeWaardeFabriek gunt iedere organisatie haar eigen WaardeFabriek, waarin het gezamenlijk op zoek gaan naar EN het realiseren van de waarde voor morgen centraal staat.
Samen met DeWaardeFabriek laten wij u tijdens deze bijeenkomst proeven van de elementen die uw eigen WaardeFabriek succesvol maken. Deze elementen in deze bijeenkomst vormen onderdeel van een master-programma “How to build your 10x-ValueFactory in 90 days” dat speciaal voor Flevum-leden in januari 2016 van start gaat.
Na afloop van deze bijeenkomst gaat u naar huis met praktische inzichten die u direct in de praktijk kunt brengen.
Dit programma wordt inmiddels met succes toegepast bij o.a.:

Babele - How to achieve collective intelligenceEmanuele Musa
Disruptive change and innovation, digital businesses, a new business paradigm are some of the most popular terms to describe the current business environment.
Behind these trendy words, there is one key concept - the world and business are changing at incredible speeds - and companies need to change with them.
Change and innovation are not any nicer to have for a company - they’re mandatory.
The business environment changes so rapidly, according to a Deloitte study, over 88% of the Fortune 500 companies from 1970, do not exist anymore. So the main question is - how can businesses change and keep on innovating?
Fostering intrapreneurship is one of the answers. But the big mistake would be to put too much faith on the innovator alone. According to Harvard professor Linda Hill: innovation is not about solo Genius, it is about collective genius.
Thus, it's only when these 2 trends collide that we can develop disruptive and sustainable solutions, that produce unprecedented levels of economic prosperity, environmental quality, and social equity, meeting the needs of present society without compromising resources for future generations.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

Comparing Stability and Sustainability in Agile SystemsRob Healy
Copy of the presentation given at XP2024 based on a research paper.
In this paper we explain wat overwork is and the physical and mental health risks associated with it.
We then explore how overwork relates to system stability and inventory.
Finally there is a call to action for Team Leads / Scrum Masters / Managers to measure and monitor excess work for individual teams.
