Actionable outputs from capability assessments - project challengeILX Group
Mike Saville, ILX’s Head of Consulting explores how organisations can benefit from combining Best Practice and Organisational Capability Models (including P3m3 v3). This enables leadership teams to answer not only ‘how good are our projects?’, but to establish solutions to persistent problems and build the capability that they need. These themes are illustrated by real-world case studies from multi-national businesses.

From Content Strategy to Drupal Site Building - Connecting the dotsRonald Ashri
Content strategy is, undoubtedly, a hot topic these days. A lot is being said that spans the range from concerns regarding the ability to display content on any device to the ability to drive engagement and increase traffic through better content creation and social media strategies. In this presentation we will connect the dots between these issues and practical Drupal site-building concerns with tools that are readily available now.
We will show, through specific examples and references to available modules, how different approaches to content strategy can be practically implemented on Drupal sites. The aim is to equip Drupal site-builders with a handy toolkit that will allow them to both implement a content strategy for their sites as well as better exchange information with content strategists.
The examples will include:
- Different approaches to building content types so as to empower content creators to create a range of different structures.
- Best practices in using vocabularies (fixed, open, user-generated, moderated, etc) or where alternative categorization methods may be relevant.
We will also discuss:
- Editorial calendars and scheduling.
- The true benefit of workflows (and how, sometimes, they can be a disadvantage).
- Analytics and how the ability to measure the effects of any strategy is as important as defining the strategy itself.
Attendees will go away with practical examples and techniques that they can apply to their sites as well as a better understanding of what content strategy really is and how they can use it to improve their sites.
The examples are a result of our own experiences in helping both clients develop their content strategy as well as applying it on italymagazine.com, an in-house product of ours. We grew italymagazine.com to a relevant online digital brand with a strong community by expressing our content strategy ideas through the tools that Drupal 7 made available to us. The resulting ~250% increase in traffic over 3 months is a testament to both the value of a content strategy as well as the power of Drupal to allow you to flexibly and iteratively support it.

How can you architect a successful IT career that last for decades? Should you be a specialist or a generalist? What is a "T"-shaped expert? Is that enough? Is Docker, DevOps, or the Cloud the answer?
Every Industrial revolution has seen the progression from people dominated design, build and production to a higher degrees of automation that has gone hand-in-hand with shortening timescales enabled by ever-more powerful technologies. However, at a fundamental level the process has remained the same, but it is now edging toward a continuum of evolution as opposed to a series of discrete jumps that often trigger company reorganizations. In concert, there is a realization abroad that it is no longer about the biggest, the strongest, the best, or the fittest, it is now all about the survival of the most adaptable.
By and large it is relatively easy to predict when and where tech change will occur and the likely outcomes, in terms of existing and future products and services, but how people, customers, companies and societies will react is an unsolved puzzle. On another plane, competition and threats may well occur outside the sector, from a direction managers are not looking, by entirely new mechanisms, and at a most critical time. These are all challenges indeed!
How to adapt to, and cope with these collective challenges is the focus of this presentation which is illustrated and supported by past and present industrial cases along with the experiences and methodologies of those who have driven/weathered this storm as well as those who failed. Many of the illustrations are automated and there are exemplar movies and segue inserts throughout.
An analysis of Cyber Security publications sees >99% devoted to the technology of attack and defence, with <1% examining the biggest risk of all - People. But every Cyber hack, attack or failure involving technology, starts with some human indiscretion, error, fallibility, stupidity, revenge, malice, or act of vandalism.
This near exclusive focus on the technology is analogous to bolting the stable door after the horse has bolted, and it results in a vast redirection and waste of resources. In complete contrast, our adversaries (The Dark Side) are more cunning. It really is time to reconsider our strategy if we are to stem the growing tide of attacks.
For sure, people cannot ‘do’ security! And why should they? It really is the responsibility of industry who ought to be designing and supplying inherently secure products that defend users against themselves and The Dark Side. To engineer this would mean the deployment of systems to monitor the behaviours of people, devices, systems, applications and networks.
We have to establish patterns of behaviour at all levels if we are to detect and combat the exceptions that might constitute an attack. And whilst our knowledge of human behaviours and sociology are extensive, we know almost nothing about devices, systems, applications and networks. Perhaps even more threatening is our total lack of knowledge about Things: aka the IoT.
In this presentation we illustrate the fallibilities of people as well as some of their devious activities and propose some solutions.

From good intentions to reality, understanding how quality projects are builtDaniela Valero
We, developers, love what we do, we aim for quality in our projects, and in order to do that, we adopt an individual culture for learning. However, the common scenario of the projects we work, shows that our projects end up not matching our initial quality expectations.
I want to invite you in this talk, to step back with me, to revisit what quality actually is, and to go together through different dimensions, in which it is expressed in our projects. This way, we can adopt a more pragmatic approach when working in them, that will allow us to find the piece of the puzzle we’ve been looking for, and start getting closer to match our quality expectations.
Workforce passport program #12 - planning the job searchtamer elmoghazy
Workforce passport program #12 - planning the job search, how to form your networks, how to deal with job posts and how to create your profile on recruitment platforms.
Workshop on getting to grips with digital strategy by thinking like a network. Understanding complex adaptive systems, terminology, exponential growth and how technology, behaviour and design all come together. Two exercises included are Stinky Fish and Jobs to be Done. Lots of stuff on Netflix in there too.
For the vast majority of history the progress of our species and civilisation was limited by a very few artisans - the workers of metal, wood, leather and cloth along with famers and distribution networks. Specifically, the number of skilled blacksmiths determined the rate of sword, knife, lance and armour production, and ultimately the size of empires.
The turning point came in the eaten 1700s when the Royal Navy was expanding to explore and colonies the planer. Nails were the problem with more than 20k required per ship! So this was the first item to be mad automatically, followed by wooden blocks for the rigging. The water mills constructed to power the production therefore mark the start of Industry 1.0 and the growth of the British Empire.
The spread of automation through Industry 2, 3 and 4 accelerated and empowered us to do more and more using less and less people, power and materials. Without it we could not support the population of the planet or the lifestyle we enjoy. Remarkably, at no time during this process have we seen mass unemployment, and consistently, more and more jobs have been created. In brief, better production capabilities have seen the creation of better tools, which in turn has led to better productivity and better quality.
The process has been evident in everything hardware, and much of entertainment ,design, and software, with services perhaps the last bastion of human based delivery and support. However; the on-line world and rise of AI are now changing the balance across retail, banking, insurance, accountancy, and services in general.
People are tired of talking heads, being told what and how to do things. We have access to information, what we need is the opportunity to make sense of our experiences, to converse, to connect and to create together. In the experience economy, every time we meet face to face is a wonderful opportunity to be delighted by discovering something new for ourselves. If you are a Manager, a Trainer, Consultant, Event Manager - knowing how to design so that people experience creating and discovering new knowledge is imperative for engagement and innovation.
Building Efficient and Informative Research Programs for Product Design TeamsTom Satwicz
From a workshop Geoff Harrison and I conducted at Convey UX 2018.
Conducting research in the course of product development has become more of a norm these days, but user experience professionals still struggle to determine what types of research are most valuable and how much research needs to be done as during the product creation process. As partners at Blink, Geoff Harrison and Tom Satwicz have decades of experience developing research programs and leading product creation teams across a wide range of industries. Geoff comes a design background and Tom comes from a social science background, but they find common ground in the evidence-based product design approach! In this workshop they’ll show you how to develop foundational, conceptual and evaluative research programs during the product creation process and give you activities along the way to practice these techniques.
Switching horses midstream - From Waterfall to AgileDoc Norton
You’ve been working for several months on a key software initiative for the company and leadership has decided they want it faster than projected, so the team has been told they’re getting “the agile” installed next week.
“Great.”, you think, “Right in the middle of the project. Nothing like changing horses in midstream. One way or another, this will go swimmingly.”
Sarcasm and puns aside, you’ve got a point. It isn’t easy to switch methodologies in the middle of a project. Doc shares some stories from his own experiences helping teams make this change and provides a few pointers that can help you do the same.
While this talk is focused on testing, it involves the whole team, as agile methods usually do.

Development and Deployment: The Human FactorBoris Adryan
Thingmonk 2017: End-to-end IoT solutions are often highly integrated. Even small changes to the UX of a product can have profound impact on hardware requirements, while physical constraints such as battery capacity can dictate software architecture. A holistic understanding of IoT is key to efficient implementation, the “T-shaped engineer” the star in every development team. Contrast this to intellectual silos and matrix organisation, and you may see why especially large companies fail to move quickly into IoT. Similar issues strike the application of IoT. Deploying a solution in the enterprise is just a cost factor if processes are not adjusted to leverage the connected device and its data. However, changes in process often affect companies across their entire organisational structure. This can require a change of mindsets, making the success of an IoT solution depending on the human factor.

Navigating the Employee Lifecycle: Create Your Own Remote CultureAggregage
We are living in uncertain times - the COVID-19 pandemic has led to confusion and isolation for our global workforce as companies have had to turn completely to remote working. As most organizations were unprepared for this change, they are waiting for things to "get back to normal" when they can have in-person meetings and higher productivity. However, we are never going to return to normal. We may return to office working, but our approach to remote working will have changed. We need to understand now how we can maintain a strong culture when all our employees are working remotely and how we can shape our post-pandemic remote working policies. Join Change Instigator and LIberationist CEO Gustavo Razzetti to learn how to remote-proof your culture!
Data Modelling is an important tool in the toolbox of a developer. By building and communicating a shared understanding of the domain they're working with, their applications and APIs are more useable and maintainable. However, as you scale up your technical teams, how do you keep these benefits whilst avoiding time-consuming meetings every time something new comes along? This talk reminds ourselves of key data modelling technique and how our use of Kafka changes and informs them. It then examines how these patterns change as more teams join your organisation and how Kafka comes into its own in this world.
