My Rethinking Digital 2nd keynote from the i2 Summit 2015 in Zurich. About rethinking digital, providing building blocks and an implementation approach for your transformation, and hopefully inspiring you to do something differently tomorrow in your digital business efforts. Everyone's talking digital and it's dangerous... too dangerous to dilute the term, but crucially important that we understand it properly. Digital is becoming a synonym for technology or new or new technology. You need to understand the digital enterprise wave - the current disruptive landscape. Then here are 8 building blocks for transformation, and then our 7E approach to implementing change. Finally I echo Michael Corleone telling Sonny "it's not personal, it's business" with our version "it's not digital, it's business".

The business landscape is changing. It's driven by significant changes in infrastructure, economics, and 3 big technology shifts that are happening simultaneously. On top of that there are emerging technologies that have the potential for an even more profound effect on the World economy and our business. I want to make you step back and look at things we already know about the digital landscape, the digital workplace and digital disruption and look at them with fresh eyes and think about them differently. We call this the Digital Enterprise Wave - ride it, or go under.

The Role of Digital Strategy in External PortfoliosJennifer Chesney
This presentation was delivered at the Canadian Council for the Advancement of Education (CCAE) 2013 National Conference in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, June 8-10, 2013.
Description:
Digital Strategy impacts more external (and internal) university stakeholders more frequently and more consistently than any other method of engagement. Learn why digital strategy in the external portfolios (university/external relations and advancement) is critical to the success of every university’s strategic goals, how to create a digital strategy unit at your university, and how to measure its overall performance and efficacy for the university
Outcomes:
1. Discover the opportunities for the modern university in strategic creation of an institutional Digital Strategy.
2. Recognize how changes in higher education require institutional Digital Strategy for Canadian universities.
3. Develop a three-prong approach for successfully implementing institutional Digital Strategy across a complex landscape.
4. Review success stories based on quantitative analytics and understand how to continuously optimize your institutional Digital Strategy.
This webinar focused on data, data sharing and how this is vital in the creation of a viable data strategy. Paul Connell opened up with an introduction to ODI Leeds - a pioneer node of the Open Data Institute, created to explore and deliver the potential of open innovation with data at city scale. Working to improve lives, help people and create value. Paul will discuss the ‘radically open’ way of working, where projects and data are shared, and the internet is used the way it’s supposed to be! Whilst highlighting the 'Open Data Saves Lives' Initiative, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Following Paul we had Steve Simpson, Head of ICT, Lancaster City Council who discussed the processes behind the Digital Lancaster Strategy, recently launched.
To conclude the webinar Colin Munro, Managing Director, Miconex. Colin, the Smart Cities UK 2020 Data award winner, explored how Smart Loyalty programmes can generate data sets that provide local authorities with valuable data about how local citizens travel to and use their local towns and cities. He also highlighted how Smart Loyalty can be used to incentivise behavioural change and encourage use of sustainable travel options as well as encouraging and promoting a more localised spend, supporting carbon reduction.

According to new research released by IDC and Microsoft digital technology is not simply going to have a huge impact on business but also on society, and the transformation will take just three years.
Today 6% of New Zealand’s GDP is contributed by digital technology but by 2021 that will skyrocket to 55% – adding $9.6 billion to the economy.
The sheer rate of change for New Zealand’s economy was driven home yesterday as the latest research by Microsoft and IDC, Unlocking the Economic Impact of Digital Transformation, was presented by Microsoft New Zealand managing director Barrie Sheers and a panel of experts at the Microsoft Digital Transformation Roundtable.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

29. Keeping up is critical
But it’s easier than you think!
Good morning – it’s great to be here.
In an ever-changing world, we can do a lot of good just by keeping up.
As Justin Trudeau said last year: “The pace of change has never been this fast, yet it will never be this slow again.”
Wise words, but what do they mean in practice?
Here’s a practical example – a tech analyst in Silicon Valley spots someone asleep at the wheel of his Tesla.
This isn’t happening in a laboratory or in science fiction, it’s out on the road.
With technology changing so quickly, there’s a risk we may be asleep at the wheel ourselves.
In my talk this morning I’ll focus on the good we can do by keeping pace with digital change.
But why should we care about digital change?
It’s important because:
• It’s ubiquitous, touching every aspect of our lives
• Digital change is happening more and more quickly
• It changes the way we interact and lead our lives
• And it risks leaving people behind
So we can’t stand by and watch it happen, we have to respond to it.
I’ve touched on technological change, but let’s get more specific about digital change.
Here’s a really nice definition which you may have seen before:
Digital is about applying the culture, practices, processes & technologies of the internet era to respond to people’s raised expectations.
So it’s much more about people and culture than technology and apps.
Digital change is also a double-edged sword:
On the one hand, it’s never been easier to connect with people.
On the other hand, we live in an age of mass distraction.
And on the one hand, we have amazingly seamless retail experiences.
But as transactions get easier, we get more impatient.
So if we’re providing services or information in time of digital change, how do we keep up?
Spoiler alert!
Here are four key things you can do to keep up with digital change:
• Explore what is out there
• Adapt where you need to
• Invest wisely
• Collaborate to learn from others and amplify your impact
And if we manage to keep pace with digital change, we can realise some great benefits:
We can do more with less, as modern platforms are free or very cheap to use at scale
We can gather real-time insights into all our interactions with people we work with
And flexible technology means we can use those insights and affordable resources to quickly change our approach to meet user needs
Those three things together – affordability, insight and agility – are transformative.
So, there is huge potential. Now I want to give you a few practical examples to show that harnessing digital change can be completely practical and tangible.
First of all, Big Hearts Community Trust
• This organisation collaborates with lots of partner organisations
• Flexible technology empowered people to collaborate more effectively
• This meant that all staff and partners felt more ownership of the work they did
Secondly, Downs Syndrome Scotland
•They built an ‘agile’ culture, encouraging staff to try new approaches
•This led to a new real-time reporting system where staff used mobile devices to log their activity
•The real-time data from this made them realise their staff resource didn’t match the needs they were trying to meet. So they invested in more staff cover to provide a better service.
Finally, let’s look at Lifelink
This counselling organisation planned and delivered major digital changes over several years. They saw some immediate benefits:
•Improvements in productivity with a dramatic drop in missed appointments
•Financial savings of over £40k as legacy tech support costs were saved
•Most importantly, increased motivation and confidence right across their staff team
You might be thinking – these changes don’t sound that ground-breaking. Where is the blockchain and the AI?
Well, the simple answer is – that’s not what digital change for good is about right now.
The real power of digital change is to turn organisations into more responsive, more flexible and more empowered agents for good. And that can be done with proven, off-the-shelf technology.
In my time with SCVO, I’ve spoken to dozens of charities who are exploring the potential of digital to help them in their mission. All of those conversations have led me to make a wee graph.
This isn’t scientific, but I think most organisations fit somewhere on this curve. And it’s an interesting process:
First you upgrade the tech, then the tech upgrades you
On the left axis we have disruption, from no change to major change
And along the bottom we have impact, from no impact to major impact
Dinosaurs - tech seems 'broken'
Amphibians
Monkeys
Leopards
Coders - are new tools really the pinnacle?
Lots of impact with off-the-shelf tools
So, what do you think? Where is your organisation on this curve? Is your whole team in the same place? What would help you move forward?
This graph came out of lots of conversations about digital change. I’ve been having those conversations because we run a digital health check service for charities in Scotland.
About 200 people have taken the checkup so far, and over 60 organisations have had a phone call with me. You can try the checkup for yourself at digitalcheckup.org
But that’s just one part of a whole landscape of the support we offer to charities in Scotland. I’ll now talk about what has been driving digital change in Scotland – in the hope that some of it will translate to the context here.
First of all, there has been excellent policy backing from the Scottish Government, with a series of national digital strategies, starting in 2011. These bring all sectors together and have digital inclusion at their core.
In the private sector, we have a large presence from banks and fintech and a strong tech startup culture too. These have enabled financial support for digital inclusion work and tech for good volunteering, too.
And the Scottish voluntary sector is well plugged in too - big enough to have some capacity to work on transformation, but small enough for cultural change to ripple out quickly.
