AgileDC 2016 - Transform the Corporate Ecosystem for Enterprise AgilityScott Richardson
You have made great progress at the team level with Agile, but your company still does not feel nimble and responsive. What is wrong, and what can you do about it?
In this talk we show how executives and senior leaders can transform their organization/company to create a truly Agile Enterprise, by transforming corporate functions and enterprise shared services.
The corporate ecosystem outside of teams must be transformed to achieve enterprise agility, but it is beyond the scope/authority of team members, managers, and consultants to make these necessary changes; these transformations can only be done by senior leaders and executives. From an executive's viewpoint we will describe the nature of the corporate ecosystem outside of teams and how - if properly transformed - enterprise services can be the missing link between team-level results and real company-wide agility.

We've talked now about Enterprise Collaboration Vision, Process, Tools, Privacy and Security. Now lets talk about other considerations involved in the process.
As businesses move away from a culture of transactions to one of richer interactions, collaboration is the important next step that results in business competitiveness in a new and dynamic economic environment. Re-imagining Collaboration! See more at: https://www.actis.co.in/
A presentation I did for Awareness Networks around what organizations need to consider for successful collaboration initiatives. Several concepts and models are included from by book, The Collaborative Organization (which talks about these concepts in far greater detail). Overall the presentation should help guide viewers on understanding where they are in the collaborative spectrum and what they need to do to move forward (based on the maturity model).
Trying to implement enterprise collaboration presents several challenges and lessons learned. Key steps include defining collaboration needs, selecting an appropriate tool, and gaining user adoption through training and moderation. Challenges include slow uptake of new technologies and ensuring user needs are met. Lessons include starting small with an engaged group, customizing demonstrations for the audience, appointing user moderators, and providing ongoing support to encourage long-term collaboration tool use.
In this presentation, I wanted to share some of my views with you all regarding Enterprise Collaboration. This blog focuses primarily on Vision for Enterprise Collaboration but the following blogs would talk about Process, Tools, Privacy and Security and Other Considerations.
Making the Case for Social Collaboration in the EnterpriseWebtrends
The document discusses making the case for social collaboration in enterprises. It argues that social collaboration should focus on building relationships rather than just implementing technologies. It outlines four parts of an effective social collaboration strategy - having clear objectives, putting the right metrics in place, investing in relationship management, and prioritizing technology with relationships in mind. Effective metrics measure how relationships fill information and decision-making gaps rather than just engagement. Relationship management requires budgeting, executive involvement, transparency, and incentives. Technology choice should consider the relationships sought rather than just features.
Social collaboration tools are becoming increasingly important for internal employee collaboration. While some managers are skeptical of social tools, they can improve knowledge sharing and boost team productivity by facilitating employee-built networks rather than restricting collaboration through organizational hierarchies. A holistic collaboration strategy pairs both traditional collaboration tools with newer social tools to maximize their combined benefits for enabling effective employee interactions.

It also outlines common Lean roles and certifications like Yellow Belts. The presentation aims to explain how Lean can help IT organizations reduce waste and cycle times to improve service delivery.
The document discusses how a US Navy IT Directorate improved its project management process by implementing a CPIC Pre-Select phase. It describes how previously there were disparate practices across divisions, no central request pipeline, and a focus on tactical solutions over strategic needs. The new Pre-Select process involved adding questions to an existing request form and creating a Pre-Select Board to assess requests earlier. Benefits included improved communication, a focus on real business problems, and prioritizing the right projects. Keys to success were gaining buy-in incrementally and right-sizing the lightweight process.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.
