The Power of Social - Revolutions, Disasters and Tomorrows IT
You are what you tweet and the social revolution.
-In the 1950s, executives feared the bathroom: employees will waste productive time.
-In the 1970s, executives feared the telephone: employees will waste productive time.
-In the late 1980s, executives feared email: employees will waste time.
-In the 1990s, executives feared Internet access: employees will waste time.
-In the 2000s, executives fear social media: employees will waste time.

Webinar: The Third Wave of Nonprofit Technology: Technology for Social Change...TechSoup
Sam Chenkin discuss the changing nature of technology within nonprofit organizations. Using technology to be efficient is no longer enough to stay relevant as a nonprofit. Even using data effectively is old news. Today, nonprofits are expected to “disrupt” social ills through the network effects and scale of technology.
This event explains this trend, its opportunities, and its dangers. We talk about how the commodification of data storage, analytics, and AI is making software development a compelling option for nonprofits. And we talk about how your nonprofit can take an idea from inception through to the creation of a website or app.

Setting the scene for the Enterprise Digital Workplace Summit, 6 June 2018, at the British Academy. We live in a time of exponential change and disruption. What we call the Digital Enterprise Wave may become a Tsunami adding Artificial intelligence and blockchain to the other emerging technologies. A management shift, but change is happening across the workplace with the "gig mindset". What is a digital workplace anyway? Finally a reminder of the 8 Strategic Building Blocks for digital transformation, a plea to focus less on technology and more on people, and 2 key recommendations.

Disruptive digital workplace: 3 approachesJane McConnell
The digital workplace disrupts enterprises. It challenges traditional ways of doing things. This presentation offers 3 approaches to defining your strategy towards the "digital workplace mode".
With the rate of innovation coming from Microsoft these days, many organizations are struggling to understand which tools and capabilities to use, and when to use them. The fact is: different teams work in different ways. Within the modern digital workplace, there are many different “modalities” of collaboration — and the companies that understand and meet the evolving needs of their end users will have a competitive advantage.
This presentation reprises a keynote presentation given at the European SharePoint Conference (Nov 2016) in Vienna, Austria by Office Server and Services MVPs Christian Buckley from Beezy and Benjamin Niaulin from Sharegate as they discuss real-world scenarios and management considerations of the three primary collaboration modalities: document and process-centric (SharePoint), email-centric (Exchange and Groups), and social-centric (Yammer, Skype for Business) -- and how Beezy can meet the various needs of these modalities.
Is collaboration the future of business IT? - Patrick Bolger, HornbillSITS - The ITSM Show
To improve IT agility and value, we must change the way we work. Getting closer to customers is hard enough when you’re in the same building, but is tougher still when working across different borders and cultures. Collaboration technologies could provide the answer, but before you consider adoption, this session will help you ask the right questions.
The future of customer support is AI-driven automation. Soon, we’ll interact conversationally with bots that know who we are and how to fix our problem right the first time. Soon, the capabilities of virtual agents will far exceed those of today’s best humans. We’ll receive support that is more reliable than friends, more accurate than social media, and less frustrating than waiting on hold.
In this session, we’ll discuss how artificial intelligence is impacting IT. We’ll cover research trends, technical challenges, and the cultural implications of AI-driven automation. We’ll also discuss how AI and natural language processing (NLP) can be used to improve KPIs like MTTR, FCR, cost per ticket, and customer satisfaction.
You'll leave better informed, less frightened, and armed with actionable advice to help you spearhead your team's vision for the future of IT.
Ask anyone to list the biggest challenges in their ITSM migration project and chances are ‘the people’ will feature in the top three. It’s one of the biggest factors in successfully effecting change in ITSM, and yet good practical guidance is hard to find.

Creating Effective Adoption of Social Tools with Design and Measurement | DW2...Dion Hinchcliffe
Social collaboration is the best way for teams, departments, community, and enterprises to get most work done. Here's my business case and approach for bringing social collaboration closer to the way we get work accomplishing by using better social business design around top processes, worker "moments", employee experience, and digital workplace. Then proactively use analytics validate it from a business point of view.
Digital workplace, the core of the small digital businessColin Matsyk
Digital workplace has become a hot topic within transformational discussions among CIOs, but is this concept only for bigger organizations? Absolutely not! Small businesses are benefiting from SharePoint and Office 365 to have a cost-effective way to deliver a digital workplace that fosters communication, sharing, process optimization and information management. This session will discuss how small organizations can harness the potential of a digital workplace powered by Office 365 and you will see the journey a local multi-discipline healthcare provider took to utilize Office 365 for their digital workplace.
Business case for deploying online collaboration across organisational bounda...David Terrar
Pollyanna Jones of NHS England & David Terrar of Agile Elephant, introduced by John Glover of Kahootz, use the NHS England futureNHS platform as a case study story for implementing an effective collaboration solution across silos, teams and organisational boundaries. The story shows:
* How the Department of Health and their Arm’s-Length Bodies are using a shared service arrangement to improve team working and stakeholder engagement across the UK health sector
* The potential, drivers and enablers that are necessary for success and the impending blockers and pitfalls with advice as how to overcome them.
* Where to start, how to educate your staff, and an understanding as to how to select and drive benefit from collaboration tools across the value chain
* How to tap into the collective knowledge and expertise of your stakeholders to foster a sense of shared purpose and community involvement
* Building a solid business case. Where the value and ROI of collaboration tools could lie as your organisation looks to improve team working with external parties and across organisational boundaries.

Thinking outside the Inbox - What some big trends mean for HR and Recruiting. Presentation delivered by Steve Boese and Trish McFarlane at HR Florida 2013.
The world is constantly changing at a rapid pace. The impact of these global changes are impacting all facets of the workplace. People, technology and infrastructure are organically changing. Changes include how we communicate, the design of our physical office spaces, where we decide to work from, business tools, technology, social media technology, organizational structure and hierarchy, work/life blending, role of job satisfaction, information access and the generational make-up of our workforces. How organizations manage these interconnected workplace changes will impact their ability to engage their employees.
The key drivers of employee engagement are, always knowing what employees are thinking, intentional creation of a desired culture, recognition and value, open and transparent communication + strong leadership, career pathing and opportunities, social good and positive and real employer branding.
Changing workplaces require a change in how we conduct our day-to-day business. Social Technology is how we successfully and effectively deal with these changes. Social collaboration, social learning, social recognition, access to real-time and useful data, social recruitment and strategic employer branding. Integration of the right social technology tools will positively impact employee engagement. People are social beings, and social technology allows, enables and promotes people to be social in the workplace.
This presentation was delivered on Friday, January 10, 2014 to the delegates who competed at the 9th Annual Organizational Behaviour Case Competition at Ryerson University in Toronto. 10 Canadian business schools attended and competed. This session was meant to inspire, educate and help delegates infuse creative ideas in their presentations the following day.
Enterprise social is not about Facebook or Twitter ... its about using contemporary productivity tools to improve communication and collaboration within an organization.
HR Webinar: Technology Opens New Paths for HR and BusinessAscentis

FROM DIGITIZATION TO DIGITAL INNOVATION
Along with digital transformation is coming a wave of change that will deeply change the way we work and make it almost unrecognizable to our business leaders. On the same time, enterprises are facing a tough competitive environment. New trends and technologies require companies to continuously innovate to stay at the forefront. How to create a company culture that will entrust employees to spark innovation and drive growth?

In the 3rd of 3 joint webinars with Beezy and CardioLog Analytics, we discussed the basics of gamification, and how you can develop a "motivation hacking" strategy within SharePoint or Office 365 to help shape user behavior and improve adoption and engagement.
Social Business Adoption is only 20 % technology and 80 % psychology. I use a combination of IBM's and Michael Sampson's ideas and methods when I help my clients change from yesterday's work methods to today's modern social collaboration!
SASUG April - Building Social Networks and the Social JourneyDavid Broussard
A review of what an Enterprise Social Network is, why we needs them, and how to embark on a Social Journey that will actually get you to your desired destination.
A successful collaboration strategy includes technology, process alignment, and the user experiences. However, organizations tend to focus the most on technology, and the least on people -- when the opposite should be true. As this presentation explains, culture is the key to any successful collaboration strategy.

We know that most sequels suck.
This is true with most movies, but it is especially true about sports movie sequels. As anyone who paid their hard-earned dollars to see Major League II, Slap Shot II: Breaking the Ice, or Caddyshack II knows, great art is hard to follow.
I know what you’re thinking. Does the world really need another collection of writings about Sports and HR? Wasn’t it beaten to death in the last edition?
Yet, here we are with the 2011 season - 45 more posts ripped from the screens of the HR Capitalist, Fistful of Talent, Rehaul.com, the Tim Sackett Project, and True Faith HR.

And, the 2012 season is already looking bright…but, it’ll have to wait until next year.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen

Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

Here’s my logo slide – if I ever get more I will make them smaller
While we have been talking about how technology improvements – consolidated HR systems, more ESS and MSS, and more ‘connected’ workflows will free up time for HR departments to think, plan, and act more ‘strategically’, the truth is these gains or wins have only partially delivered on their promise to liberate HR from the historical place as an administrative function. Something - new regs, business changes or expansion, M&A, a crazy employee who decided not to show up after downloading half of the new product designs from the server – always seems to get in the way. Complicating this, is the fact that the external environment is probably more dynamic, fast moving, and unpredictable than ever. BUT that is your new reality in HR.Let’s give just a few quick examples of what I am talking about.
In the past Tech started as a business tool and then flowed back down to individuals – PCs, Email, mobile, internet – started in either big business or government – mostly due to costs and complexityNow with the tremendous advances in tech – mobile, web, social – technology is increasingly popularized by consumers and flows back up or into companies – TABLET is the #1 example of this in the last 4 years
Think about all the technology you carry with you if you dare to leave the house. Me: Hey that coffee shop has wifi? P: Big deal, every shop has wifi now.Me: What do you need an iPhone for, who are you going to call? P: Duh – an iPhone isn’t for calling people, it’s for going on Youtube and playing video games
Just think about how you, me, everyone in this room is contributing to this growth of Big Data. Just take one example – social networking – think about how much data you create, even if you are only a semi-frequent user, when you spend time, (20%) on these networks
What are the BEST consumer websites, apps, and experiences online?Ask audience
http://www.zdnet.com/unavoidable-62-percent-of-companies-to-allow-byod-by-years-end-7000010703/Zdnet and Tech Republic survey of their readersNot JUST software, but devices as well – driven by overall experience and expectation50% of all workers will be required to bring in their tablets and smartphones to work by 2017 - Gartner
This chart is shows how the upsurge in percent of internet traffic coming from mobile devices
Today you are more likely to buy the latest and best tablet or phone and let your old PC or laptop chug along for another year or so.
We are still talking about ‘mobile’ as a distinct technology, but I think we won’t be for too much longer. Why?
White Paper – Systems of Engagement and the Future of Enterprise IT – G. Moore, AIIM
Ok – so let’s talk about some of these ‘Big Trends’ shaping our environment and our workplaces today
We are still talking about ‘mobile’ as a distinct technology, but I think we won’t be for too much longer. Why?

Halfway point – everyone take a moment to regroup. How are we doing on time?
We are still talking about ‘mobile’ as a distinct technology, but I think we won’t be for too much longer. Why?
Where has mobile started to take hold in HR and Talent Management? These are a few of the early approaches to applying or deploying mobile tech to HR, managers, and Employees -
This is the goal – to get to the point where the systems that employees rely on to do their work, to connect with each other, to find information, to create content, to share ideas, to complete tasks, to say thank you, and more – become as engaging as the tools and technologies we all obsessively use all day.To transition your HRMS into a true System of Engagement, you need to provide a unified (systems and people) environment that is intuitive, highly personalized, and feels like a familiar web tool that employees might use in their everyday life outside of work. It needs to be integrated, and leverage embedded social tools in relevant ways. When all of this comes together you have a system that delivers on the promise of HR efficiencies as well as user adoption. Adoption is a key underpinning for a System of Engagement, because when adoption is high, so is the compounding ROI.
This event is Cloud World – so I feel like I’m obligated to talk about the Cloud
Who in the organization gets more stick or has a bad image than HR? Maybe IT – who traditionally rivaled HR as the internal ‘Department of No’Cloud technologies are designed to allow the organization to move as fast as the world around them moves – upgrade cycles shrink, ability to take advantage of mobile and social developments, and capability to scale up and down are all greatly improved with Cloud technology delivery
