Reignite your desire to improve (NDC Sydney 2018)Richard Banks
"We're doing pretty well. There's not much to improve on" #sigh
It's so, so easy to get improvement fatigue. To become overly familiar and comfortable with the little dysfunctions in how you and your team work. To stop improving and start missing out on the fresh ideas and experiments that could elevate your team beyond the level they're currently working at.
Let's explore the common problems teams often become comfortable with, and ideas for addressing them. Let's explore what you could try that can help your team think differently, to challenge the status quo, and to help you and your team reinvigorate your desire to improve and to raise your game to the next level!

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.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

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.

LIvE BR aInSToRmInG SESSIonS
Every organization uses it. Every manager, board member, director, volunteer, participant or member
has played a part in it at least once a year. We are talking brainstorming sessions.
Personally, I have been in so many to the point that I plan my early exit strategy before we even
begin. How many sessions have you been into that you can consider effective?
Brainstorming is a powerful tool, if used correctly, can enhance any decision a manager is ready to
take. But just like any power tool, you must follow the instructions on how to put it together and use
it, else you risk doing a bad job, or worse, harming yourself.
Take your mind back to the last brainstorming session you attended. What do you think was good
about it? What did it lack? Did you contribute to it? Got something out of it?
In this article, I will put the spotlight on 10 guidelines to conduct a successful one, should you
be in charge of facilitating the next brainstorming meeting.

1 ComE PREPaRED. anD InvITE oTHERS To Do So Too.
If you notify all the participants 2 days in advance of the purpose of your session, and ask them to
come ready with one or two ideas, you will have a head-start. People won’t take those precious first
awkward moments to set their inner moods.
2 InvITE oTHERS To THE PaRT y.
yes the team members are the only ones concerned with the longer working hours, but if you invite
people from other departments, participants, board members, or customers, you might be surprised
at what they can bring to the table. maybe your colleague has access to technology that will cut the
time you write your report in half, your participant has extra free hours to volunteer with clean-up, or
your partner organization has the contacts you need to slash costs in half. Throw in some munchies
and drinks to feed the tummies as you drain the brains.
3 THInk anD RE-THInk THE RE aL ISSuE.
Tackle the problem, not the symptoms. Re-writing that question or issue will open new lines of
thoughts and increase the quality of the ideas. For example, if the session’s title is: “How can we
involve board members in fundraising”, a new personal statement – such as “How can we make
the board member be involved in a particular program” – will add new dimensions to your ideas.
Play with the statement for a while before settling on just one to start the session.

In a previous workshop I conducted in creative thinking, the group stated that a problem they
faced in their daily work was lack of mental stimulation. I asked them to state the question once,
and then change the verb each time. Following are some of the results:
Q1: In what ways can we occupy our minds while we do the dull task?
Q2: In what ways can we get more knowledge to enhance the tast?
Q3: In what ways can we become more interested?
Q4: In what ways can we make our work more exciting?
Q5: In what ways can we engage ourselves?
Each question will require a different thinking mode, resulting in multi-leveled solutions for
the same problem.
4 RECoRD aS you Go.
Don’t forget a single word. assign a note taker to write everything in front of everyone. This will
give you the extra benefit of enhancing each others’ ideas. Don’t forget to give that person a chance
to contribute as well.

5 DEFER juDGmEnT.
Imagine a pearl diver, plunging in the middle of the sea to collect one oyster, swim back to surface,
straight to shore and open his find, only to find nothing. Then he will put on his suit again, paddle
back for a second one.
THAT is exactly what you do when you stop at each idea to evaluate it.
In one of the sessions I attended, 3 out of 5 suggestions I proposed were rejected on the spot by the
facilitator, “We don’t have enough money for that”, or “We cannot designate a worker for this idea”.
not only was I put off – and in so refused to participate anymore—the group lost the opportunity to
enhance those “weird” ideas to better fit the need. other members didn’t propose any ideas out of
fear of being rejected and the talk remained between the facilitator and director.
a brainstorming is just this: storming! In a real climate storm, you don’t stop running to asses the
damage. you keep running until you reach a safety, a dead-end or your time runs up. But unlike
a real weather condition, you have options in this room-temperature setting: you can re-state the
problem to open a new stream of thoughts, or schedule another session to follow up.
jot down everything! and then search for your treasure among those ideas.
6 BEComE a GEnER aToR maCHInE.
never, nEvER, stop when you feel you have reached a suitable or good solution. you risk loosing a
better one that might come in the next 4 minutes. keep moving, with new fresh ideas or enhancing
previous ones when you run out of juice (or coffee). Radical and crazy ideas must not be confined
in your brain cells. Get them all out on the table—and blackboard—as well.

In a non-profit that ran a small video store, a crazy idea came in our brainstorming session of
how to increase revenue, was to rent movies free of charge. Thankfully, that idea was not rejected,
but worked with as is. The store decided to test it.
In a corner, a Tv was set with lots of carpet space. It showed movies for free but sold popcorns,
drinks, pizzas, and cushions. Soon sales took off and they learned something new. now they
rent the movies (for money) but provide a tested menu to order with every rented movie depending
on its type (horror, comedy, drama…), and it worked!
Set a timer (one hour) and continue to storm it.
7 FoRCE L aRGE QuoTaS.
Don’t stop because time ran out. Type the written ideas and send them to the same team and
include others who didn’t attend the session. ask each to add 2 more ideas to reach the 100
quota before moving to the next step of evaluating them. ask them to add to the already written
ideas as well.
8 EL aBoR aTE anD ImPRovE.
Connect two or more ideas to create a combined one, modify a plan by looking at it from

9 EnHanCE vISuaLS.
on your flip chart you write the words that describe the proposed solution, but that is not your
only option. use sketches (my favorite is the stick man), drawings, color coding, arrows, triangles,
stars and crooked lines to connect the thoughts. you will appreciate the master piece once
you’re done and might consider framing it.
10 THRE aTEn youRSELF.
Why not make everybody sit upright and tensed by suggesting more government cuts to your
programs? maybe your facility was closed and was forced out, or the know-it-all manger just quit
and you must run the show with the little information you have.
you can envision your problem from a different perspective by suggesting a reaction to a problem
that increases the adrenaline in many organizations dramatically.
For example: instead of stating “In what ways may we improve our fundraising efforts”, try asking
“In what ways could the government shift their strategies that would really harm us”? or “How can
we work so bad that we loose all the current funding”?. Here you list all the mishaps you can do
(have fun imagining) in order to think of new venues, then implement the opposite ideas. you will
get a much real—straight from the heart—ideas using this tool.
