Slidedeck from MCN.edu Conference, November 2017
While every organization’s leadership model is unique, many in the cultural heritage sector face shared challenges in defining and shaping what “leadership” means. This panel discussion will provide unique perspectives on leadership by including an emerging professional, a non-manager, a manager, and an executive - together exploring different traditional and innovative leadership models they’ve encountered and how those have played out for them individually and within their departments and organizations. Panelists will provide real-life examples from their experiences and the impact upon them professionally and personally. In addition, panelists will consider both the near-term horizon and the longer view in discussing the future of leadership in the cultural heritage sector. In the words of Catherine Aird, "If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning" (His Burial Too, 1973).
During the session, traditional hierarchical models will be compared with so-called Servant or Host leadership as well as the even newer model of a networked organization with decentralized authority. The aim of the session is both to inform and to debate a variety of leadership approaches in order to foster conceptual and practical knowledge. We will explore questions such as: What constitutes effective leadership? What is the role of a leader? What are the pros and cons of various forms of leadership? Is an organization’s leadership style malleable or fixed? How do considerations such as gender, institutional mission, workplace culture, personal and institutional values, and the wider cultural context impact individual and institutional leadership styles? What do you do if your own organization’s leadership style doesn’t match up with yours? Is it possible to “manage up”? What is the present and what is the potential future of leadership models in our sector?
Our panel, wide-ranging not only in experience and hierarchical level but also in terms of institution size, type, and mission, should allow an equally wide range of MCNers to formulate their own answers, and to take away strategies and practical tips for exercising personal leadership as well as influencing their institution’s overall leadership style.

Session description:
Change is hard, and change is also inevitable. Whether it’s a big structural reorganization, the arrival of new leadership with a very different vision or a staff downsizing, most of us who work in cultural institutions will face significant change at some point in our careers. The reasoning may be financial, it may be an attempt to create efficiencies and break down silos, it may be an attempt to better integrate technology into the organization, or all of the above. In addition, the process - even when the motivation is to be helpful - can create new challenges and problems: integrating one area at the expense of isolating another, losing talented people, missing the mark on “technology improvements”, a lack of understanding at the top about what’s needed, and - most of all - creating a level of confusion and anxiety among staff.
It’s often difficult for staff feel to like they are a part of the solution and not to feel threatened or disrespected, especially if communication and transparency from the top is lacking. So how do we as museum technologists help manage this change in a positive way?
This session will include panelists at various levels in their organizations who have been through an institutional change or two, or are currently going through one. They will share their stories from the trenches and ask bold and honest questions, sharing strategies, methods, and ideas for all of us to embrace as we face change.

#BR4041UL is a Broadening programme looking at Social Media for the Social Good. This is a background lecture on gamification, from definitions to criticisms to design considerations.
The gaming industry is huge, and it can keep its audience consumed for hours, days and even weeks. Presentation shows how it all started, some best and worst practices and main principles of gamification.
Penguins in Sweaters, or Serendipitous Entity Search on User-generated ContentMounia Lalmas-Roelleke
In many cases, when browsing the Web users are searching for specic information or answers to concrete questions.
Sometimes, though, users find unexpected, yet interesting and useful results, and are encouraged to explore further.
What makes a result serendipitous? We propose to answer this question by exploring the potential of entities extracted
from two sources of user-generated content - Wikipedia, a user-curated online encyclopedia, and Yahoo! Answers,
a more unconstrained question/answering forum - in promoting serendipitous search. In this work, the content of
each data source is represented as an entity network, which is further enriched with metadata about sentiment, writing
quality, and topical category. We devise an algorithm based on lazy random walk with restart to retrieve entity recommendations from the networks. We show that our method provides novel results from both datasets, compared to standard web search engines. However, unlike previous research, we find that choosing highly emotional entities does not increase user interest for many categories of entities, suggesting a more complex relationship between topic matter and
the desirable metadata attributes in serendipitous search.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
Artificial intelligence (AI) offers new opportunities to radically reinvent the way we do business. This study explores how CEOs and top decision makers around the world are responding to the transformative potential of AI.
Public Speaking Tips to Help You Be A Strong Leader.pdfPinta Partners
In the realm of effective leadership, a multitude of skills come into play, but one stands out as both crucial and challenging: public speaking.
Public speaking transcends mere eloquence; it serves as the medium through which leaders articulate their vision, inspire action, and foster engagement. For leaders, refining public speaking skills is essential, elevating their ability to influence, persuade, and lead with resolute conviction. Here are some key tips to consider: https://joellandau.com/the-public-speaking-tips-to-help-you-be-a-stronger-leader/
Comparing Stability and Sustainability in Agile SystemsRob Healy
Copy of the presentation given at XP2024 based on a research paper.
In this paper we explain wat overwork is and the physical and mental health risks associated with it.
We then explore how overwork relates to system stability and inventory.
Finally there is a call to action for Team Leads / Scrum Masters / Managers to measure and monitor excess work for individual teams.
