To better prepare policy and decision makers in today’s complex and inter-dependent environments, FTA methods can play a significant role in enabling early warning signal detection and pro-active policy action. This paper analyses the use of different horizon scanning approaches and methods as applied in the SESTI project. A comparative analysis is provided as well as a brief evaluation of meeting the needs of policy-makers in identify areas of intervention by policy formulation. The paper suggests that the selection of the best scanning approaches and methods is subject to contextual and content issues. At the same time, there are certain issues characterising horizon scanning processes, methods and results that should be kept in mind by both practitioners and policy-makers.

Dr. Totti Könnölä (CEO of Insight Foresight Institute) gave an invited lecture on ‘Unleashing innovation and entrepreneurship in Europe: People, places and policies’ (building on the preliminary findings from the CEPS Taskforce) in the Enterprise and Innovation Community (EIC) meeting of the League of European Research Universities (LERU) at the Universiteit Leiden on 8, 2016.
WEB 2.0 FOR FORESIGHT: EXPERIENCES ON AN INNOVATION PLATFORM IN EUROPEAN AGEN...Totti Könnölä
While the private sector has already discovered the wide set of benefits of web 2.0 technologies (McKinsey, 2009), the public sector is only beginning to use these tools. Especially the use of interactive and collaborative tools in FTA for priority setting has been rather limited until today. Examples in both a public and private sector environment suggest great potential for web 2.0 foresight in public organisations and policy-making, both in terms of advancing foresight methodologies and in terms of increasing transparency. This paper develops a framework for designing a web 2.0 foresight exercise, building on the For-Learn Foresight Cycle, experiences from other disciplines such as market research with web 2.0 research, and hands-on project experience from JRC-IPTS. It applies the framework to the design and implementation of a foresight case of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), where a web 2.0 ideation platform was used to collect ideas from research and development communities across the globe for world leading innovation that integrate education, business and research with a specific thematic focus. It is concluded that key elements in the design are clarity about process and outcome objectives, a systematic approach to tool selection, the organisation of a pilot before the launch, a clear view on sense-making from the data collected, and a certain degree of autonomy in the management of the foresight process.
Chaos Theory: How Real-Time Data is Making Analytics and Product Design Obsol...Oxford Tech + UX
Beverly May, Executive Director of the UX Awards, presented the Chaos Theory: How Real-Time Data is Making Analytics and Product Design Obsolete during the DAA New York Symposium on May 7, 2015.
Today’s digital services deliver chaos. They are rendered in real-time and completely customized for each user. Every person has a unique Facebook profile, feed, list of friends and configuration of their privacy settings, apps and plugins. Every user has a flights search result based on browser and cookie settings, search destinations, date and time of day, preferred airlines and their geographic location, that determines exactly what offers they do (and don’t) see and how they change over time. Every person performing a Google search will see different results based on device, browser, profile, location, demographics and even their credit history.
Not only is the data and content that each user sees almost completely unpredictable; so is the design. Google’s Material Design, true responsive design and the card-based approach to modern UX means each person’s interface and experience also cannot be controlled. Enter into the equation the coming wave of natural user interfaces through gesture, eye tracking, brain sensing, and text-to speech, as well as the rise of machine learning and AI, and the level of data and product design complexity becomes infinite.
This engineered chaos not only cannot be properly measured, it also cannot be designed. Systems cannot be “designed” or measured, because the exact customer experience of any one user simply cannot be predicted. Rather, design and analytics have become the creation of holistic rules and preferences in the hopes of controlling and then documenting the chaos some of the time.
The result? What we have now is true Chaos Theory in digital services in which when a butterfly flaps its wings in Brazil, it can indeed cause a tornado in Texas. In short, many digital services are becoming cyborgs: living, organic, and highly complex digital ecosystems. We have only just begun to glimpse meaning of the impossibility of data analytics and design, let alone the impact on our human-digital future that is unfolding.
Cecily’s fun and inspiring programs take groups on a guided tour of the future where they find fresh answers to the age-old questions, “Who are you?” “Where are you going?” and “What’s your territory?” Whether an industry forecast, innovation challenge, leadership development, or for future-proofing a brand, Cecily is able to penetrate core issues and get to the best questions quickly. Her provocative and engaging programs offer a practical approach to connecting near-term realities with long-term objectives.

Making Decisions in a World Awash in Data: We’re going to need a different bo...Micah Altman
In his abstract, Scriffignano summarizes as follows:
l explore some of the ways in which the massive availability of data is changing and the types of questions we must ask in the context of making business decisions. Truth be told, nearly all organizations struggle to make sense out of the mounting data already within the enterprise. At the same time, businesses, individuals, and governments continue to try to outpace one another, often in ways that are informed by newly-available data and technology, but just as often using that data and technology in alarmingly inappropriate or incomplete ways. Multiple “solutions” exist to take data that is poorly understood, promising to derive meaning that is often transient at best. A tremendous amount of “dark” innovation continues in the space of fraud and other bad behavior (e.g. cyber crime, cyber terrorism), highlighting that there are very real risks to taking a fast-follower strategy in making sense out of the ever-increasing amount of data available. Tools and technologies can be very helpful or, as Scriffignano puts it, “they can accelerate the speed with which we hit the wall.” Drawing on unstructured, highly dynamic sources of data, fascinating inference can be derived if we ask the right questions (and maybe use a bit of different math!). This session will cover three main themes: The new normal (how the data around us continues to change), how are we reacting (bringing data science into the room), and the path ahead (creating a mindset in the organization that evolves). Ultimately, what we learn is governed as much by the data available as by the questions we ask. This talk, both relevant and occasionally irreverent, will explore some of the new ways data is being used to expose risk and opportunity and the skills we need to take advantage of a world awash in data.

And Then the Internet Happened Prospective Thoughts about Concept Mapping in ...Daniel McLinden
In this millennium the worldwide web has enabled new models of collaboration and the power of networks to emerge. In the second decade of the new millennium these ideas continue to spread. Cross-disciplinary teams, open innovation and social networks represent radically different approaches to working in systems to create knowledge, share information and develop interventions. Think Wikipedia. Methods for program planning and evaluation need to keep pace with these changes and concept mapping methodology may have been ahead of its time as a method that resonates with 21st century complexity. To think prospectively, reframe concept mapping as a method that employs open innovation and networks to create meaning about complex phenomena. With this basis, the future possibilities for the types of problems that can be addressed and ways to co-create meaning with diverse stakeholders can be explored.

Slides from an Update Me: Creative Approaches to Inspirational Geography delivered at the Royal Geographical Society in London and Nottingham in 2014 by David Rogers.
Whilst you have to be there for the delivery, and some features of the talk have been taken out, the main messages are below:
Get over Gove and get on with it.
A strong department vision and commitment to the basics of quality literacy and numeracy are needed to drive inspirational geography.
Inspirational geography is built upon simple yet effective ideas that drive sustainable change.
Guerrilla Geography goes to the heart of what geography is. More important than fieldwork is the subject’s unique position to all young people to understand their school and local context and actually change it. Geographers study people and places so that we may understand the world better, and then change it for the better.
Sometimes, some one needs to be prepared to go toe-to-toe with the Head.
Inspirational Geography is not about putting Restless Earth around options time or running overseas trips for a minority of students.
Inspirational geography is inclusive, challenging and depends on expert teachers with expert subject knowledge.
Sometimes, you need to go to the coffee house or pub for a two hour department meeting.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
