The document discusses how startup costs have plummeted due to factors like cloud computing and open source software. This has led to a dramatic reduction in the capital requirements needed for startups to launch. Additionally, the summary discusses how universities are focusing more on entrepreneurship and how municipalities and states are trying to encourage startups and entrepreneurship to create jobs and economic growth. The last sentence summarizes that falling startup costs and global networks now allow individuals to access resources independently of their geographical location.

CeBIT Social Business Arena keynote - Strategic building blocks for your Dig...David Terrar
Standing in fir Dion Hinchcliffe who was called away, this was the opening keynote in the CeBIT Social Business Arena. My idea was to do three things. First give the Agile Elephant view of the current complex and disruptive digital landscape. There is a wave of change affecting every business and some key issues to be understood that are driving the need for digital transformation in every industry, every style of business. I go through 20 years of a world gone digital and recommend 3 books to help make sense of where we are. Secondly present 8 strategic building blocks to enable transformation, with the emphasis on practical things you can do, and specific areas or factors that your organisation needs to address.
Lastly, leave you with a core message that is vital for the 21st century enterprise - and that is that you need to be in a state of continuous reinvention to make sure that some smarter, nimbler competitor doesn't make use of technology or new business models to take away your market.

Our recent research uncovers the digital media preferences among the younger cohort - Generation Z and millennials - concerning connectivity, content and commerce.
When you hear “digital” most people start to think about Google, Facebook or other technology companies. But now transforming into a digital company is the strategic objective for many companies across multiple sectors. We see digitisation as the driving strategy for many global business; GE’s strategy is to become the first digital industrial company and is moving its headquarters to Boston to be closer to MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology). Deutsche Bank wants to transform into a digital bank, and Sephora is digitising the world of beauty. The transformation is not just how these companies manage clients and deliver services through the web and smart phone apps, but back office processes, enhancing organisational agility, speeding up supply chains and recreating whole service offerings to make life easier or better for clients.
BIG DATA is having an enormous impact on the profile of workforces around the world. If you've ever seen the technology and experienced the impact it has on the pace of innovation in a business then the predictations made by McKinsey Global Institute will come as no surprise ( and just in case you've been on holiday for around two years, McKinsey is suggesting that by 2018 the US will face a shortfall of close to 200,000 analysts and 1.5 million managers with the right skills. In this presentation I outline the impact of BIG DATA on workforce design. I hope you find it informative and fun to read. Ian.

Global Technology Trends & Startup Hubs 2014Bernard Moon
Provides an overview of general technology and startup trends around the world. Snapshots of Silicon Valley, NYC, London, Stockholm, Berlin, Tel Aviv, Beijing and Seoul.
Presentation slides: Interactive Storytelling
Edward Segel helped Bloomberg develop a datavis strategy. He also wrote a really great paper: Narrative Visualization
The purpose of this first edition of the Market Trends Report is to shed light on the way digital technologies reshape trade finance, a sector which often does not get as much publicity as B2C financial services.
Given that disruption often comes from adjacent sectors or from the application of an existing technology to a new field, we found it essential to begin with a broad analysis of the latest trends before zooming in progressively on financial services and on trade finance specifically.
The report is structured around four chapters, starting from the general core techno trends, and converging towards the changes impacting the trade finance ecosystem:
1- Core techno trends, business model and social changes
2- Disrupted industries, changes in the way we live and work
3- FinTech disrupt (and partner with) banking and insurance
4- Conclusion: Trade Finance is also ripe for disruptive innovations
We really hope that you will like this Market Trends Report and that you will find it useful. When you read it, please keep in mind that it is still being refined. We welcome your feedbacks, insights and suggestions.
Agile Project Management for Nonprofits501 Commons
Are you looking for ways to remove dysfunctions, waste, and inefficiencies in your non-profit organization? Whether it is a technology or a non-technology project for non-profits, this quick introduction to “Agile” – a modern project management approach can help you get more done more efficiently with full engagement of your team and stakeholders.
In this workshop you will learn how Agile has caused tremendous disruption and innovation in today’s networked global economy and what are the future possibilities. You will specifically learn how to adopt Agile practices to do twice more in less than half the time at your non-profit organization. Agile practices are aimed at responding to changing organizational demands by reducing waste, incorporating program improvements more quickly, and working collaboratively.
Agile is a mindset and it requires a mind shift from individual performance to team progress. It emphasizes the ability to adapt to changes and provide organizations the framework to adapt in a predictable way with a minimal amount of waste, such as from over planning. In Agile, teams incorporate frequent feedback, from both internal and external stakeholders, and work in short iterations, with the goal always to get something viable in front of an individual for feedback. Everyone works as one team to get work done.
Specifically, participants will learn the benefits of Agile, how to become Agile, the role of a team in a scrum environment, and an overview of scrum roles.

People get excited when shiny a new technology comes along, especially when it promises to solve major pain points. But sometimes jumping in with both feet too soon can cause unforeseen and unpleasant consequences. When organizations want to take advantage of the next big thing, it’s important to first take a hard look at what the company’s needs and resources are before making the big leap into the unknown.
Register for this episode of The Briefing Room to hear veteran Analyst William McKnight as he explains how Hadoop is transitioning from a novel concept to a key component of modern data management architectures. He’ll be briefed by Rich Reimer of Splice Machine, who will discuss how they have helped customers get started in Hadoop with an Operational Data Lake, a Hadoop-based, scale-out solution designed to replace stressed out Operational Data Stores (ODSs). He will show an Operational Data Lake becomes a great on-ramp to Big Data, ensuring that companies get immediate value from their Hadoop investment and avoid the trap of the never-ending "science" project.

Who is driving innovation in your business? Probrand Group
Probrand Group magazine provides credible articles written by leading tech journalists around driving innovation and transformation, mobility, supply chain and procurement, security, cloud and infrastructure.
ACCORDING to AG Lafley, CEO of Procter & Gamble, collaboration is a key ingredient in a company’s arsenal to help it innovate better and faster, and proactively
respond to the increased demand we face in a global and connected economy.
What is Social Networking?
The power behind the new communication paradigm exemplified by internet sites such as Facebook, Wikipedia and YouTube is that it promotes the flow of ideas — including
advice, feedback and criticism — all of it free of charge.
I think that AG Lafley puts it best when he says: “No company today, no matter how large or how global, can innovate fast enough or big enough by itself.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

4. Innovation & Entrepreneurship
Universities and colleges want to monetize their IP. Business, engineering, sciences and
technology-focused departments are increasingly restructuring education curriculum
to focus more on collaboration and the integration of real-world experience into the
classroom.
Municipalities are trying to encourage startups and entrepreneurship to create
economic activity, particularly in the midst of a bad economy and shrinking
government resources.
States have many of the same problems facing municipalities but they also face the
added pressure of stemming the brain drain that occurs when a portion of the state’s
best and brightest seek opportunity and relocate to large cities or technology hubs in
places like San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Boston, Boulder and
Austin.
Falling startup costs and the emergence of a global networks of human and financial
capital, makes it possible for individuals to access resources independent of their
geographical location.

5. US Colleges & Universities Commercialize IP
In 1980, Congress passed the
Bayh-Dole Act that enabled
universities to own and manage
the intellectual property (IP)
arising from federally sponsored
research.
Universities seek to monetize IP
by transferring it to existing and
spin-off companies. The resulting
licensing revenue was split
between the university and the
faculty inventor.
Shortly after 1980, spin-offs and
products based on university IP
rose steeply as universities and
faculty were incentivized to
commercialize their inventions .

Startup Costs Are Approaching Zero

drivers in the proliferation of startups over the last five years
and an important factor in the growth of accelerator

9. Cloud computing is the delivery
of computing as a service rather than
a product.
Shared resources, software, and
information are provided to computers
and other devices as a utility (like the
electricity grid).
Cloud computing entrusts services
(typically centralized) with a user's
data, software and computation on a
published application programming
interface (API) over a network.

How to Run Your (Not Small) Company Off of a Laptop
By QUENTIN HARDY | May 11, 2012
It won’t be long before you’ll be able to run a global corporation from
an iPad.
Amazon announced an agreement Friday with SAP that enables
companies to store their data in the Amazon Web Services cloud, and
run SAP’s business applications remotely, using A.W.S. servers accessed
over the Internet.
This means complex corporate software can be purchased or rented, then
accessed and manipulated on a relatively simple mobile device. The companies
say it can be almost 70 percent cheaper than buying and running your
own servers running similar SAP products.

Metered Pay-As-You Go
Low monthly costs allow startups to experiment
and test ideas and services without committing
large amount of resources.
Demand-pull with turn-key scalability.
Examples include Mailchimp which allows startups
to manage mailing lists effectively or project
management services such as Basecamp or Huddle
that make systems only previously available to large
organizations affordable for small teams.
All this means that the major cost of early-stage startups isn’t technology, but
people, and often the problem first time founders face is how to cover their living costs
while they build their first product, get their first customers or attract their first
investment.

20. Virtualization
The new corporate footprint is light, digital, capital efficient and
increasingly distributed. The emerging paradigm enables the global
sourcing of talent and resources.
Capital efficiency lowers startup costs and funding requirements.
Virtual teams don’t need office equipment, office space or commit to
significant IT spend until demand rationalizes growing expenditures.
Projects can quickly assemble global contributors, distributed teams
and digital customers.
This is increasingly becoming the norm for early stage companies
