How to invent and innovate as an individual, employee, or corporationTal Lavian Ph.D.
In a given company, ~1% of employees produce 99% of patents.
Thus, individuals who have mastered the skill of inventing and patenting are incredibly valuable!
Regardless of the myths, innovation is a learn-able skill.
How can we become inventors?
How can we produce inventions as employees?
How can we encourage inventions as business owners?
I address each of these questions in this presentation, referencing useful books on the subject as well as my own experience as Technical Chair of the Patent Committee for Nortel Networks’ EDN as well as being named inventor on over 80 patents issued and pending.

Patents, Copyrights & Trademarks - An Entrepreneur's PerspectiveChristopher Mohritz
Introductory presentation on intellectual property protections.
Not every successful business is built around an original idea, and not every good idea ends up with a business built around it. But when you do have an innovative idea - patents, trademarks, servicemarks and copyrights can help protect your idea and give you time to develop it into a business. But it is worth the time and cost in today's fast-paced startup scene?

Andrè Gouveia "Winning Product Ideas - strategy over beauty" Productized19Productized
Strategists, designers, marketers, managers,… almost everyone is slowed down by innovation diseases – especially when they are unaware of them. The result? We limit our potential to be great at making and selling products that people will buy. This talk will make you aware of diseases that infiltrate your creative processes, and shows you how to overcome them.
Creative @ Somo education piece - Long version 11/9/14stuwilson.co.uk
When a mobile tech start-up plans to improve it's creative capability by building a creative department, that new function needs to be defined and introduced to all existing staff who don't know what it is and who will inevitably be working along the creative process. This presentation is about managing change because now there is competition in the connected space and the market has become tougher.
Intellectual Property is of no value unless it is monetised. So the focus needs to be not just on getting a patent, but on one that has commercial value. This needs a multi-disciplinary focus in the emerging creative economy. We can no longer play by the rules of the mercantile or even industrial economy - we are at the cusp of the knowledge economy and creative economy.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Technological Innovation / successful commercialization of technical ideas is enabled by Leadership in emerging technologies, Vision of emerging markets and a Strategy to balance the two Healthy environment that nurtures the growth of out-of-the-box ideas Focused effort to flow the Idea into Innovation I have focused my efforts, over the last ten years, on flowing simple technical ideas into technology innovations. In the process, I evolved a SIMPLE innovation methodology based on TRIZ tools. I could introduce a few fresh ideas in materials technology, patent those ideas and, more importantly, could successfully transition some of these simple inventions into an innovative product.
Wrong approach
Right approach
Each one of us here play a critical role in converting Ideas to Innovations Technology Leaders – Visionaries - Innovation Strategy – balancing the pull & push from emerging technologies & markets Invention Development Managers – Incubators - grow the innovation potential of the Idea. Inventors – Connectors - bridge the gap between invention & innovation All 3 play a key role in Creating & Sustaining an Innovation Ecosystem
Five-Whys Nine Windows TRIZ Function Map TRIZ Ideal Final Result
What critical problem or technical contradiction does the Idea solve? Proof-of-concept experiments to confirm technical feasibility Use Statistical Design of Experiments to cover the Design Space & minimize experiments Who is the Customer & what is his benefit?
Identify white spaces in IP landscape & focus research on those gaps Integrate IP Strategy with Technology Strategy Map the Product to Patents Aim to create a patent portfolio rather than patenting Inventions as they come Study Technology Evolution Trends and Use TRIZ Evolution Potential to predict What’s Next
