5 mistakes to avoid when creating a mobile appRobert Sutor
The document discusses 5 common mistakes to avoid when creating a mobile app. These include: 1) Not knowing your target user or having too broad of an audience; 2) Not focusing on 1-2 key functions or pain points to solve; 3) Not designing the app to take advantage of mobile-specific features and requiring mobile use; 4) Treating mobile as an afterthought rather than designing for it from the start; and 5) Failing to create an "awesome" app that users genuinely want to use frequently. The author recommends focusing on a specific user, solving a key problem well, rethinking processes for mobile, prioritizing mobile design, and ensuring the app is highly engaging and useful for users.
Don't Bulldoze a Vibrant Ecosystem for AgileTechWell
Software processes are commonly portrayed using machine metaphors in which consistency is highly prized. Frequently, organizations set up Centers of Excellence in a well-intentioned effort to create enterprise consistency. Steve Adolph reminds us that, in reality, software development takes place in a diverse ecosystem of corporate policies, competing interests, personal agendas, personality types, and a variety of formal and informal relationships. An aggressive top down imposition of practices is like sending a bulldozer through an ecosystem. This can create a prized consistency, but it also can destroy the environment’s productive vibrancy. It does not matter if the bulldozer says waterfall or agile on the side—it’s still a bulldozer. How do we live in harmony with our ecosystem? We can start by replacing machine metaphors with biological ones about leveraging and embracing diversity. Then use these metaphors to interpret two case studies of how organizations either bulldozed their ecosystem or learned to boost their productivity by living in harmony with it.
Tomorrow Never Dies - The Future of ICT Staff.Tapio Järvenpää
Somewhat provocative lecture in itSMF Finland Conference on the 2.10.2014 about future trends to wake/shake up the audience. According to studies almost half of the features of new systems are never used i.e. half of the effort is wasted. Based on my experience this phenomena is caused by unclear vision and targets when developing business systems e.g. ERP, CRM, ... Most of the unnecessary features are inherited from legacy systems and thereby it is fair to say that legacy systems are not gone by the day when they’re replaced but halved – like radioactive materials have halving times so do legacy systems.
Old habits and paradigms dictate the way we work. Digital transformation is only in the beginning and unless we learn how to break free from legacy thinking the digital transfor- mation will not leap forward and competition will take over our businesses. Let’s thinkabout Finnish web shops. Our nation kind of missed the nature of Internet and instead of targeting customers world wide we started to build web shops that’ll serve the existing local clientele. And made space for international competition.
What if we misinterpret the Internet of Things in similar manner? Is the way we think about ICT and ICT governance adaptable and agile enough to respond to future?
It is obvious, and also reality already, that one-size-fits-all policies are not sufficient anymore e.g. in single development program co-existing different technical platforms, one suitable for continuous integration and the other for integration once in a quarter. Likewise the developers prefer different methodologies: old school waterfall and more modern scrum.
Chief HR Officers have more to say to mobile strategy than CIO because mobility is more about working ergonomics and employee satisfaction than technical stuff.
Ability to code is becoming equally important as literacy. Eventually everyone will un- derstand code like foreign languages. People will more and more start to write their own apps. What will be the role of the central ICT? Will it cease to exist?
How do the working preferences of Z and / generations differ from baby boomers? Are the traditional, established organizations ready to absorb the latest trends of development and also experiences gained by young people who are advancing parallel careers?
More and more of the traditional ICT products and services are becoming commodity and even infrastructure like electricity. What'll be the future of CIT Staff?

Abhishek Rungta Workshop Digital Innovation - A Practical Guide For BusinessesIndus Net Technologies
Digital innovation is failing to provide desired results for many firms despite significant investments. While 40% of companies surveyed spent money acquiring digital startups and setting up Digital Units (DUs), only 10% of companies generated over 5% of revenue from their DUs. Fewer than 8% of companies with DUs were able to successfully scale their digital ideas into launched products. Common reasons for this failure include DUs operating in silos and struggling to connect with legacy businesses, as well as difficulties scaling innovation projects within core business and IT units. The document provides recommendations for establishing an effective DU structure and approach to promote successful digital innovation.

Indira Gandhi was the first female Prime Minister of India and a leader with vision, passion, and courage. She nationalized banks, abolished private princely purses, and provided strong leadership during the 1971 war with Pakistan that led to the formation of Bangladesh. Gandhi served as Prime Minister from 1966-1977 and 1980-1984, making her one of India's longest serving prime ministers. She established population control reforms and initiated India's nuclear program. Though a powerful leader, some critics viewed her as politically ruthless due to her centralization of power and actions like Operation Blue Star and the Internal Emergency.

8. Major Innovation by IGATE
• iTOPS model for Business Outcomes.
• iTOPS – integrated technology and operations.
• A revolutionary change in the industry, billing customer
projects based on outcomes and not only on outputs.
– Eg:In a real estate scenario, the outcome for a developer
may not be the number of apartments built but the
number of apartment sold
• Hence, the outcome is directly connected to the
business objective
• An outcome based model ensures that the end-result
of the transaction is in-line with customer’s business
objective and that the service provider gets paid only
after the client is satisfied with the results delivered.
