The presentation was made to the Regional Development Australia Barwon South West Committee on 1 December 2016 at the Otway Estate, Barongarook.
The outcomes of the Great South Coast Digital Strategy were presented by Associate Professor Helen Thompson. Helen provided an outline of the study aims, methodology and research outputs. The Great South Coast Digital Strategy Action Plan was then presented.
The focus then shifted to a case study for Digital Agriculture. Helen used a variety of examples from the applied research of the Centre for eResearch and Digital Innovation to explain how information about water, soil, climate and land use could all be brought together to support evidenced based planning and decision making, investment attraction and in the future provide an evidence based to support demonstrate safe and ethical practices.
Regardless of the area of regional economic and/or social priority (e.g. food and fibre; new energy; advanced manufacturing etc) new enabling environments for digital advancement will be required (e.g. to support getting IoT data to the cloud, to link it with other relevant data and to tools for business insights and decision support.
There is an opportunity for the Barwon South West Regional Development Australia and for regional councils to provide leadership directed towards maximising the adoption of digital technologies in areas of regional opportunity and priority.

This document summarizes Catharine Slade-Brooking's creative journey from practice to research and back again over several phases:
1. Her early practice focused on illustration, publishing, and exhibitions.
2. She began writing books on illustration techniques and advising other artists, moving her practice into research.
3. She then pursued an MA with research on rebranding techniques.
4. This research informed her teaching practice through curriculum development focusing on cultural issues in design.
5. Further research grants allowed her to study creativity in art students and write another book.
6. Her goals now include launching a new book and giving a paper on international artistic collaboration. She sees her work
In der agilen Welt heißt es: Das Gespräch sei mindestens genauso wichtig, wie die geschriebene Anforderung. Nur, was bedeutet das eigentlich konkret? In dieser Session werden wir diesen wichtigen Aspekt von Agilität gemeinsam ganz praktisch erleben. Wir werden den Weg von der Generierung einer Idee bis hin zur Schaffung eines initialen Backlogs praktisch beschreiten und dabei erleben, welchen Einfluss diese enge Kollaboration in diesem Kontext und in Kombination mit der geschriebenen Vision und der Anforderung auf den Erfolg hat.
The document discusses quality assurance best practices for call centers. It recommends live call monitoring, short and long call analysis, predictive customer satisfaction scores, feedback on every call, trend analysis, training needs analysis, calibration, and speech analytics to monitor 100% of calls. Outsourcing quality assurance provides access to leading methodologies and technologies, while keeping quality in-house allows more control but requires developing quality systems. Case studies show how quality assurance improved a telecom company's contact rate and sales introduction by focusing on data cleansing, and improved an insurance company's net promoter score and first call resolution through driving issue resolution in calls. The presentation emphasizes using quality assurance to continuously improve customer satisfaction.

The document provides an introduction to the SCERTS model for autism intervention. SCERTS focuses on improving quality of life for children with autism and their families. It addresses three core domains: social communication, emotional regulation, and transactional support. The social communication domain focuses on helping children become effective communicators. The emotional regulation domain addresses helping children regulate emotions to be available for learning. The transactional support domain involves supports from partners to facilitate learning and development.
Agile Adoption and Transformation in a regulated environmentagile42
Presented by Christian Beck at agile42 Connect conference in Berlin, November 2015 – Developing medical device software for an international market is a heavily regulated activity that needs to be compliant with a considerable number of national and international laws and standards. Company culture is therefore heavily biased towards process orientation, predictability and control. On the other hand, the complexity of medical devices in today's information technology landscape in healthcare is only manageable by applying agile development principles and practices. How can a ScrumMaster help his or her teams to navigate successfully through this environment of conflicting messages? I will share with you how we at MeVis managed this challenge by forming self-confident teams and a strong Scrum Master role model along with number of hands-on practices that proved to be most helpful in our context.

The document discusses research on the use of e-textbooks versus printed textbooks. It provides an overview of the history of e-textbooks and their increasing use. Several studies have found that student performance and comprehension do not differ significantly between e-textbooks and printed textbooks. However, some research indicates that people understand and remember better when reading printed texts rather than screens. Both e-textbooks and printed textbooks have advantages and disadvantages for student learning. The document explores these challenges and affordances in more detail.
Spotify Running: Lessons learned from building a ‘Lean Startup’ inside a big ...Brendan Marsh
The document summarizes Spotify's efforts to build a running experience on their platform. A team was formed with the hypothesis that a unique running experience would increase registrations and retention rates for runners compared to regular users. The team followed an agile process of building shared understanding, visualizing plans, creating hypotheses, ideating solutions, and validating ideas with customers. After 4 sprints of customer validation, an MVP was pitched and approved. The running experience launched in May 2015 and helped differentiate Spotify's offering from competitors like Apple Music. Lessons included failing fast, educating stakeholders, acknowledging bias, visualizing work, and accepting that product discovery is difficult.
