Six steps to delivering a digital workplace - solve the right problemsSam Marshall
When planning to improve your digital workplace, perhaps replacing older platforms, you need a clear strategy to identify which features will have the most impact upon ways of working and deliver the biggest ROI. Without an agreed strategy, it will be difficult to manage people’s expectations and your project may not deliver the requirements, resulting in frustration for end users and all involved.
In this webinar, Sam Marshall will talk to Marcus Dervin about a new digital workplace planning framework from his book, Digital Transformation from the Inside Out. Marcus will explain six vital steps to identify and then solve the major challenges when delivering a brilliant digital workplace that people will love.
We’ll cover:

Planning your Digital Workplace: A Systems-Based Planning ApproachChristian Buckley
When deploying a “Digital Workplace,” where do you begin? What is needed is an iterative, strategic, and systems-based approach of identifying core challenges at the team and company level, working with key stakeholders to identify appropriate strategies, building a solution using a scalable, repeatable, and sustainable change model. This approach drives stakeholder engagement, and ensures a more holistic solution that aligns with the needs of the business at every level. In this presentation, we walk through a systems-based planning approach for Enterprise Collaboration. Topics will include:
--Engaging leaders in a systems analysis, identifying high-priority needs and challenges
--Outlining a set of targeted and strategic actions based on common customer scenarios
--Developing an implementation plan to support successful operational and improvement strategies
The intent of this presentation is to help organizations incorporate systems-based planning into their Digital Workplace planning processes, using real-world customer examples, and to receive tips on how to fold these best practices into their own strategies.

The Agile Activity based Seating Report 2018 - PresentationMia Kolmodin
There is an increasing trend in Sweden to move in to something commonly called Activity Based Seating, what we discovered is often confused with Flexible Seating. We couldn’t find any data on the actual impact of these kind of seatings for Agile Teams. Thats why we did a survey to uncover the “truth” with 177 people answering and an open space session to learn more about what learnings are out there from people working Agile.
The survey was presented at Agila Sverige 2018 and can be found here > At an Open Space session we got together to share experiences people had around ABS. The result of both is shared in this free infographic and we hope this information can bring value to you and your organization so that you can find better solutions together. Please feel free to use the content in any way you like. We would though be happy if you would refer to Dandy People if you take any content out of context.

DesignOps is all about scaling up design teams while creating organizational efficiencies yet it is not always evident how impact and gained efficiencies can be quantified and measured.
There’s a certain confusion around what are the inefficiencies and there is no established process to determine those metrics. This session is not about providing a list of metrics to be replicated. It’s about providing a tested approach on how to identify, quantify, and measure inefficiencies and how to define measurable and realistic targets. This approach can be applied and replicated in any context to support the DesignOps community to gain additional credibility and to ensure DesignOps professionals are able to demonstrate the value of their work to the business with objective data points and quantifiable gains.

You Can Hack That: How to Use Hackathons to Solve Your Toughest ChallengesBooz Allen Hamilton
“Hackathon” has become a trendy word in today’s business vernacular, and for good reason. The word “hackathon” comes from both “hack” and “marathon.” If you think of a “hack” as a creative solution and “marathon” as a continuous, often competitive event, you’re at the heart of what a hackathon is about. Hackathons enable creative problem solving through an innovative and often competitive structure that engages stakeholders to come up with unconventional solutions to pressing challenges. Hackathons can be used to develop new processes, products, ways of thinking, or ways of engaging stakeholders and partners, with benefits ranging from solving tough problems to broader cultural and organizational improvements.
This playbook was designed to make hackathons accessible to everyone. That means not only can all kinds of organizations benefit from hackathons, but that all kinds of employees inside those groups—executives, project managers, designers, or engineers—should participate and can benefit, too. Use this playbook as a reference and allow the best practices we outline to guide you in designing a hackathon structure that works for you and enables your organization to achieve its desired outcomes. Give yourself anywhere from six weeks to a few months to plan your hackathon, depending on the components, approach, number of participants, and desired outcomes.
Contact Director Brian MacCarthy at MacCarthy_Brian2@bah.com for more information about Booz Allen’s hackathon offering.
How to Achieve Employee Success Through CollaborationChristian Buckley
In a fast-paced world where employees are constantly barraged with content and tasks and requirements, collaboration is not just nice-to-have - collaboration is a business imperative. But success doesn’t come through technology alone, but in helping employees understand how to leverage the technology and work more collaboratively.
How do you build a healthy, engaged and aligned culture? And what are the benefits of the entire organisation participating in social? Presentation from Christian buckley, 6-time Microsoft MVP and Beezy evangelist, as well as Founder of CollabTalk LLC.
With the rate of innovation coming from Microsoft these days, many organizations are struggling to understand which tools and capabilities to use, and when to use them. The fact is: different teams work in different ways. Within the modern digital workplace, there are many different “modalities” of collaboration — and the companies that understand and meet the evolving needs of their end users will have a competitive advantage.
This presentation reprises a keynote presentation given at the European SharePoint Conference (Nov 2016) in Vienna, Austria by Office Server and Services MVPs Christian Buckley from Beezy and Benjamin Niaulin from Sharegate as they discuss real-world scenarios and management considerations of the three primary collaboration modalities: document and process-centric (SharePoint), email-centric (Exchange and Groups), and social-centric (Yammer, Skype for Business) -- and how Beezy can meet the various needs of these modalities.

Avanza Case Study - Agile Transformation with Customer Focus Mia Kolmodin
Avanza is a tech company with bank licence (you can call them a bank) here in Stockholm. A few years back they started their journey from a traditional silos based organization to a cross functional product organization organized around the customer journey - IT, Product, Marketing and Operations working as one. Here we want to share their story with you that we also had the pleasure to be a small part of.
Background
“Avanza's development organization has grown from 7 to 16 teams during the last 4 years. Great fun, of course, but it also required some prerequisites.
In the fall of 2016, our lead times increased significantly, we had many cross-dependencies between the teams; and, we began to see early signs that our team's motivation was suffering. We were not sure why this was because we had been working in an agile way for over 10 years. We needed to take the next step.
During the past year we have learned a great deal. Based on that, we have created a new team structure that follows our customer's journey and value streams. This new structure includes 16 autonomous teams with end-to-end responsibilities, with clear missions; and, that are linked to our vision. The teams also have responsibility for all channels and have the skills required to deliver on their missions.”
The Avanza product organization is about 200 people (IT/Product/Marketing/Operations)
RESULTS
- Decreased Time to Market, from 5,9 teams involved in a delivery to 1,2 in average
- Increased Strategic Flexibility, Team Missions connected to Customer Journey and
- Feature Teams enable strategic and tactical adjustments along the way
- Happy & Empowered Employees - Teams feeling like a startup. Owns the budget, learning about customer needs, delivering on all touch points and optimizing towards the business strategy.
- Happier Stakeholders - Involved with the teams work & understand the structure of the org

Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.
Data Centers - Striving Within A Narrow Range - Research Report - MCG - May 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) expects to see demand and the changing evolution of supply, facilitated through institutional investment rotation out of offices and into work from home (“WFH”), while the ever-expanding need for data storage as global internet usage expands, with experts predicting 5.3 billion users by 2023. These market factors will be underpinned by technological changes, such as progressing cloud services and edge sites, allowing the industry to see strong expected annual growth of 13% over the next 4 years.
Whilst competitive headwinds remain, represented through the recent second bankruptcy filing of Sungard, which blames “COVID-19 and other macroeconomic trends including delayed customer spending decisions, insourcing and reductions in IT spending, energy inflation and reduction in demand for certain services”, the industry has seen key adjustments, where MCG believes that engineering cost management and technological innovation will be paramount to success.
MCG reports that the more favorable market conditions expected over the next few years, helped by the winding down of pandemic restrictions and a hybrid working environment will be driving market momentum forward. The continuous injection of capital by alternative investment firms, as well as the growing infrastructural investment from cloud service providers and social media companies, whose revenues are expected to grow over 3.6x larger by value in 2026, will likely help propel center provision and innovation. These factors paint a promising picture for the industry players that offset rising input costs and adapt to new technologies.
According to M Capital Group: “Specifically, the long-term cost-saving opportunities available from the rise of remote managing will likely aid value growth for the industry. Through margin optimization and further availability of capital for reinvestment, strong players will maintain their competitive foothold, while weaker players exit the market to balance supply and demand.”
Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.

3. Due to the coronavirus Pandemic, a number of clients are
facing challenges getting participants to an event.
For such an eventuality, we are providing live training
workshops online over Zoom (& others tools). Usually over
3 hr weekly sessions over 4 weeks, we are able to
accommodate unofficial training time slots (aka all time
slots and global reach). The added advantage is that there
are post learning exercises and challenges expanded over
4-6 weeks.
It also allows us to have break out sessions in teams, work
better on online tools and data presentation exercises
delivered online by participants have also proved
successful.
Rather than limit us, it has provided us an opportunity to
actually improve our learning outcome in most areas
except a few.

ACTION WORDS
POV Of DATA
The data you work on, the numbers
you analyse, and the reports you work
on — are all meant to make better
business decisions. You can pull up
some insights from your data, but the
needs are bigger — it's to find
meaning in the data and recommend
action that moves people to the right
direction.
In this workshop, you’ll learn how to
articulate what the data is saying,
visualise it to convey insights and your
recommendation. Finally, you'll use
the language of data, narrative and
stories to structure it in a way that
creates action and convinces the
audience.
5. In today’s data-rich world, middle
and senior management need to
better understand data and
convince others using data to move
people to action. This workshop
teaches you to combine information
design and storytelling to convince
and inspire people.
Who is it for?
The need to understand data and the skill to communicate it is a must for nearly every role.
Finding the right data and insights is
just one step, but establishing a
point-of-view on it, and
communicating it optimally to the
business teams to see your
recommendations translating into
action, is how you make an impact.
Today, Marketing, HR, Finance,
Operations among others need to
communicate data-rich insights to
audiences often. This workshop will
help you better visualise, structure
and frame your recommendation
with our 6 step process.
