Alan Brown - Digital Transformation Lessons for PractitionersScrumDayLondon
The document discusses key elements of digital transformation including:
1) Seeing digital transformation as more than just technology upgrades but also new business models and opportunities for social change.
2) Cultural change is necessary to successfully implement digital transformation.
3) Emerging technologies like blockchain, artificial intelligence, and the internet of things are changing business processes.
The Internet of Things (IoT) redefines the notion of connectivity; a transition to a vast, all-encompassing web of interconnected devices which uses data to measure, calculate, evaluate and learn. This network transcends the traditional comprehension of M2M in both capability and scale, linking together billions of devices and integrating everything from tiny remote beacons to large communications networks and energy infrastructure.
The potential of this vast connected network is staggering, and brings forth real capacity to help address some of our most crucial socio-economic concerns. Devices can utilise the data at their disposal to optimise efficiency and help reduce waste. Sensors can pre-empt mechanical breakdowns and determine the most safe and cost-effective time to schedule maintenance and repair. Energy systems can be transformed into smart grids, achieving improved efficiency by ensuring supply is regulated in accordance with actual real-time demand. It is this capacity to harness vast amounts of data to understand problems and identify solutions which underlines the true potential of IoT.
This conference will bring together technologists from industry, academia and government to explore the evolution of the Internet of Things. The programme will contextualise IoT within the current technology landscape and assess the implications for business and wider society. Delegates will hear from an impressive array of thought leaders and benefit from presentations which demonstrate the value of IoT in a practical context.
IoT Scotland will bring together 200 IT Heads and Business Leaders to learn, share and discuss, creating a unique opportunity for networking and knowledge exchange. The conference is organised by Scot-Tech Engagement and will be free* to attend for business leaders and IT personnel.
The Transforming Construction Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund Challenge within the Sector Deal aims to increase the efficiency of construction techniques through digital technologies like Business Information Modelling; reduce running costs for building users through energy generation and storage technologies; and conduct research and development and demonstration programmes supporting innovations. The objective is to provide safer, healthier and more affordable buildings that use dramatically less energy looking at design, manufacture, building management and power.

For me, innovation is about making connections between seemingly unrelated things to create something new or better.
Reference Monday’s BBC1 program with Richard Hammond “Miracles of Nature” e.g. Woodpecker inspiring new crash helmet technology and physiology of a giraffe’s neck enabling pilots to operate at Mach 9 (under normal circumstances they lose consciousness between Mach 4 and 5).
But why should we care? The 2011 CEO survey published by PWC identified innovation as critical to future business success primarily due to the accelerating pace of change. http://www.pwc.com/gx/en/corporate-strategy-services/publications/ceosurvey-innovation.jhtml

Creating two frameworks of separate ideas to create new meaning.
Using intuition
As a 25-year-old U.S. Air Mail pilot, Lindbergh emerged suddenly from virtual obscurity to instantaneous world fame as the result of his Orteig Prize-winning solo nonstop flight on May 20–21, 1927, made from theRoosevelt Field[N 1] in Garden City on New York's Long Island to Le Bourget Field in Paris, France, a distance of nearly 3,600 statute miles (5,800 km), in the single-seat, single-engine purpose-built Ryan monoplane Spirit of St. Louis.
n 1996, entrepreneur Peter Diamandis offered a $10 million prize to the first privately financed team that could build and fly a three-passenger vehicle 100 kilometers into space twice within two weeks. The contest, later titled the Ansari XPRIZE for Suborbital Spaceflight, motivated 26 teams from seven nations to invest more than $100 million in pursuit of the $10 million purse. On October 4, 2004, the Ansari XPRIZE was won by Mojave Aerospace Ventures, who successfully completed the contest in their spacecraft SpaceShipOne
XPRIZES are monetary rewards to incentivize three primary goals:
Attract investment from outside the sector that takes new approaches to difficult problems.
Create significant results that are real and meaningful. Competitions have measurable goals, and are created to promote adoption of the innovation.
Cross national and disciplinary boundaries to encourage teams around the world to invest the intellectual and financial capital required to solve difficult challenges.

Reference Chris Anderson “Makers: The New Industrial Revolution” http://www.amazon.co.uk/Makers-The-New-Industrial-Revolution/dp/184794065X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1352198402&sr=8-1
Over the past ten years, the internet has democratised publishing, broadcasting and communications, leading to a massive increase in the range of participation in everything digital - the world of bits. Now the same is happening to manufacturing - the world of things.
Chris Anderson explains how this is happening: how such technologies as 3D printing and electronics assembly are becoming available to everybody, and how people are building successful businesses as a result. Whereas once every aspiring entrepreneur needed the support of a major manufacturer, now anybody with a smart idea and a little expertise can make their ideas a reality.
In July, Glasgow University chemist Lee Cronin has made a different sort of 3D printing breakthrough: He found a way to turn a 3D printer into a universal chemistry set. Here’s how they explained it: “Nearly all drugs are made of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, as well as readily available agents such as vegetable oils and paraffin. “With a printer it should be possible that with a relatively small number of inks you can make any organic molecule,” he (Cronin) says.”
Cronin’s idea is to make prescription drugs downloadable—which will be of enormous benefit to nearly everyone.

Enrico Dini’s prototype 3d printer. The printing process starts with a thin layer of sand. The printer then sprays the sand with magnesium-based glue from hundreds of nozzles, which binds the sand into rock. That rock is then built up layer by layer, eventually taking shape of whatever object it is destined to become, be it a curvy sculpture or an entire cathedral. Dini claims the printer is four times faster than conventional building, costs one-third to one-half the price of Portland cement and creates very little waste, so it’s better for the environment
SAM, short for semi-automated mason, is a robot that can lay as many as 3,000 bricks a day, about five times as many as a man or woman, according to its inventors.
We were pretty impressed by the potential of these flying robotswhen we first covered this story in late November. Now the FRAC Centre in Orléans, France has released a video of the robot swarm in action during its current exhibition. Titled "Flight Assembled Architecture," the live installation showcases a fleet of quadrocopters building a six meter-high tower made up of 1,500 prefabricated polystyrene foam modules.
