The document discusses how the future of work will change significantly due to emerging technologies and demographic trends. It argues that the existing economic paradigm focused on efficiency, competition, and shareholders is showing cracks and a new paradigm emphasizing social responsibility, collaboration, and well-being is needed. This paradigm shift will require workers to develop new skills like generalism and multitalents over specialization alone and prioritize meaningful work and happiness over just money. Major changes to how organizations operate and what skills are valued will be necessary for this transition to a new paradigm to occur.

The Science of Innovation (Facts, Systems, Best practices)Bryan Cassady
Get the key learnings of a 1 year study on Innovation practices.
Innovation doesn’t need to be a random gamble. There is a science of Innovation success.
Over the last year we interviewed and researched innovation practices at over 120 companies. We have identified scientifically proven ways to increase your odds of innovation success. In this presentations you will learn:
• What separates companies successful at innovation from other companies
• What you can do to increase your odds of innovation success
• How to increase speed and reduce risks.
The need of innovation and knowledge as the most valuable asset in the processKoenraad Seys
The pressure is on innovative capacity. Everybody agrees. Trends indicate shorter product or service life cycles. Customer satisfaction is short lived. Earlier than ever they want something new. Building on experience or a long lasting competitive advantage is less an option. However innovation can only be realised and delivered with a motivated team of knowledgeable people having sufficient entrepreneurial blood so they want to go and explore. They will explore the fundamental needs of existing and potential customers, but also their capacity to be creative and learn new skills and techniques and optimise team interaction. Younger employees tend to have higher education than previous generations. They are skilled in new technology however lack experience.
Learning and knowledge exchange or sharing patterns will need an upgrade. Not only is experience still an asset, existing workforce will need to work longer careers than previous generations. Increasing age and life expectance, decreasing numbers of younger people will require all of us to make longer careers. Understanding added value of all team members will become key differentiator for teams, groups and companies to maintain their market postion. We summarised the reasons for investing in innovation, knowledge creation sharing and new approaches to come to products and services in a slide doc stuffed with facts and figures about the need for investing in what is most probably the strongest sustainable asset you will ever have.

Iterative Discovery and Analysis: Workflow / Activity and Capability ModelJoe Lamantia
Models of the workflow and capabilities necessary for iterative discovery and analysis. Identifies the two primary cycles - Insight / Discovery, and Modeling - making up analysis workflow. Maps the deep structure of discovery and analysis activity using the Language of Discovery. Identifies core and enhancing capabilities necessary for analysis.
Discovery and the Age of Insight: Walmart EIM Open House 2013Joe Lamantia
Discovery is the most important business capability in the emerging Age of Insight - it's the missing ingredient that makes Big Data a source of value for businesses and people.
The Language of Discovery is an essential tool for providing discovery capability, whether at the scale of designing a single discovery application, determining the value proposition of a new product or service, or managing a strategic portfolio of technology and business initiatives.
This presentation outlines the Age of Insight, and suggests deep structural and historic precedents visible in the Age of Reason, especially in the central parallels between Natural Philosophy and the emerging discipline of Data Science. We then review the language of discovery, and consider widely visible examples of products and services that demonstrate the language.
We review our own usage of the framework as an analytical and generative toolkit for providing discovery capability, and share best practices for employing this perspective across a variety of levels of need.
The new smart customers - How they really buy and how we can address thisCarmen Fehrenbach
This slide deck presents the results of a Sapient internal study on consumer behavior during the purchase path and underlying information needs. Moreover, tools and ideas on how to enable connected consumer-brand experiences
over multiple channels are explained.
Wish you had more time to deeply understand customer reasoning before making communication and design decisions?
Mental models diagrams represent the underlying philosophies and emotions that drive people's behavior, matched up with the ways you support them with your organization's products and services. Empathizing with people's underlying motivations opens up different avenues for supporting their behavior. A true model illuminates the users' world and allows you to generate better ideas and tell a more compelling story to product developers and business executives.
In this presentation, Indi Young, author of Mental Models: Aligning Design Strategy with Human Behavior, discusses how to make sure this model truly represents the root of what is driving your users' natural behavior. It is easy to make assumptions; much research stops at a preference, task, or observation level. But there is so much more to find out about people. Indi addresses how to coax the model toward representing the true roots of people's behavior in order to provide a clear roadmap of where your organization should invest its energies, and also where it shouldn't, allowing you to stretch your limited resources and maximize your precious time. Mental models will also allow you to derive an information architecture from users' tasks that will last 10 years, and get everyone from discordant team members to busy executives on the same page with respect to design and planning. (Presentation given at the August 2012 meeting of a local San Francisco group of designers and writers.)
Mental Modeling For Content Work: Contextual Inquiry, Personas and PlanningDaniel Eizans
Slides from my Confab 2014 workshop: Mental Modeling For Content Work.
Anyone working in content strategy knows that dealing with messy web content is a difficult task. Creating effective, engaging content that’s relevant to potential users and customers while supporting a good information architecture is even more difficult.
Take some of the guesswork out of content by investing more time in the upfront planning and inquiry, getting to the bottom of who your users really are. Spend a day with Daniel Eizans and learn how to conduct contextual inquiry, develop more relevant personas, and mental model your way to a better content strategy.
Daniel will bring real, field-tested examples of personas and mental models that have impacted organizational content strategy and take attendees through a series of hands-on exercises that will immediately add value to content planning and production.
You will:
Learn about the fundamentals of contextual inquiry and how to conduct this type of research when creating personas
Understand how to create more effective personas for content creators and content planners
Plan content with others using a modified mental modeling technique driven by inquiry and persona data
Receive tools and templates for bringing this technique to your clients or organization.
Different customers feature different behavioural attributes, are interested in different products, services and respond to different messages. Before you start building a new business model, it is crucial for you to be clear about who your primary target group will be in order to tailor your business model around their preferences. Use the Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) metric to decide, which target group might be the most profitable group to focus on. This tool will help you figure out the right market segment for the start.

The future will bring unprecedented change. Only by developing the skills to navigate this change, we’ll be able to thrive. This meta skill adaptability is the focus of this paper.
First, we’ll discuss eleven future trends that will shape the decade ahead. Then we’ll present the six skills to thrive in a changing world, and action steps for your growth. Throughout you’ll find exercises that help your apply the learnings.
This paper blends a scientific approach from in-depth interviews with business leaders and entrepreneurs, with personal observations in the real world, to help individuals and organizations prepare for and adapt to a changing world.
About the author:
Alex T. Steffen (30) is a leadership expert and speaker for business innovation. He advises executives at Fortune 500 companies and SMEs to think differently and teaches them how to anticipate and manoeuvre radical change. Change X named him Management Thought Leader.
We know much about globalizing corporations via technology and the like; we know much less about globalizing people. What globalization means for executives as individuals---how their roles change with globalization; what individual personality traits, skills, and experiences will matter most; and how easy, or difficult, it is for them to adjust. Indeed, corporations are raising concerns about their management teams. Based on an extensive research project including data from over 14,000 managers from companies around the world, this session will describe essential global leadership attributes called Global Mindset. They are attributes that move beyond cross-cultural intelligence to the ability to operate effectively in different institutional, legal, and social contexts. You will leave this session with a clear understanding of what Global Mindset is, how to measure it, and, most importantly, how to nurture it in your organization in ways that leverage performance and effectiveness.

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions

rather because its opponents
eventually die.

17. The existing management paradigm: how do paradigms die?
Paradigm shift
1. The existing paradigm encounters an anomaly
2. Initially the anomaly is ignored or rejected
3. People try to explain the anomaly within the
existing paradigm
4. A new paradigm is proposed in which the
anomaly is resolved
5. The establishment rejects the new model, often
ridicules its proponents
6. The new paradigm finally gains acceptance as
it accounts for new observations

2. Second it is opposed
3. Third, it is regard as self-evident
