The document discusses how opening up internal workplace conversations through social media can improve business performance. It argues that companies should embrace social media rather than try to control it, as conversations will happen regardless. Companies that admit mistakes and engage authentically can benefit from increased trust, collaboration, and insights into how to improve. Social media exposes existing engagement issues rather than causing them and represents a major opportunity to gain understanding of one's business.

Becoming digital. STRATEGIES FOR BUSINESS AND PERSONAL TRANSFORMATIONMike Akhmedov
The document discusses the need for business leaders to undergo personal digital transformation in order to successfully lead their companies through digital disruption. It notes that few CEOs are leading digital transformation efforts at their companies due to a lack of necessary skills. The document encourages leaders to admit gaps in their digital knowledge in order to learn, rather than pretending to understand. Leaders who openly learn gain more respect than those who feign expertise. Personal digital transformation provides benefits like improved decision making and the ability to capitalize on new opportunities. Leaders must transform themselves before transforming their organizations.
I was recently interviewed together with 3 other Bryant University alumni who are leaders in the tech industry. The article focuses on living in a digital era and the changes which the Industry 4.0 revolution will in the years to come to the way we do business, collaborate and add value as a whole.
The Power of Technology to Transform
Our mission at Insigniam is to transform the world of business and the practice of management and leadership, unleashing the power of inspired human performance while catalyzing breakthrough results and remarkable value.The methods we utilize include breakthrough performance, cultural change, transformational leadership, and innovation within organizations — one way to do this swiftly and effectively can be by the adoption of well-conceived technology strategies. It’s also true that the ability to leverage these emerging technologies can be vitally dependent on how they are embraced by an organization’s culture.
With rapidly evolving technologies providing a new climate for potent organizational change,this issue of Insigniam Quarterly focuses on methods to meet these challenges and fundamentally alter the way business is done.The power of technology to transform can be realized in a number of areas that directly impact key organizational goals.
• Change brought about through technology requires you to think and behave differently, resulting in a big impact on a company’s manner of operating.
• Strong leadership is a prerequisite for a technology-driven transformation.
• Updates and changes in technology are essential for maintaining an
organization’s effectiveness.
• Disruptive leadership can give way to transformative technology initiatives,but
if not implemented properly, they can become disruptive in the wrong way.
• Relating back to the power of words and how people communicate,companies often overestimate technologies while underestimating the network of
conversations and relationships in their enterprises.
In this issue, we share stories of success and innovative thinking, starting with our
cover story on Suresh Vaswani and his efforts as president of Dell Services to drive technology-led transformations both for clients and within Dell. Hint: It’s all about merging the leadership of business strategy and corporate technology.The former CTO at growing online marketplace Angie’s List,Robert Wiseman provides industry- leading insights on how businesses either evolve or die from technology strategies.
Articles on Health 2.0 and the rapid implementation of mobile health care technology reveal opportunities for massive growth in that space.And on the subject of transformative change, we discuss the role of leaders in shaping the conversation around change so that employees can view it as a powerful opportunity.
While seizing this opportunity for transformation is frequently necessary to survive and thrive, not every emerging technology will prove to be a game changer.The key is continuing to look ahead — falling behind isn’t an option.

This document provides an overview of key skills needed for modern executive communication. It discusses how technological communication is changing the way leaders connect and highlights the importance of emotional intelligence and contextual intelligence. It also explores how new technologies can help measure communication effectiveness through analyzing vocal patterns, facial expressions, and comparing speeches to benchmarks. The overall message is that while technology is redefining human connection, core skills like persuasion, presenting to diverse audiences, and synthesizing information remain essential for executive leaders to adapt to changing communication needs.

This document discusses the importance of conversation in the workplace. It argues that conversation is the new currency for engagement and empowerment. It states that organizations need to prioritize internal conversation among employees, not just with customers, to improve business performance. It suggests that social media conversations online reflect offline employee conversations, so companies need to foster open communication internally to build trust and advocacy both inside and outside the organization. Leadership will be defined more by internal workplace stories than formal communications. Overall, the document advocates for organizations to empower employees and encourage social conversations among coworkers.
Smart Use of Social Media in RecruitmentGareth Jones
This document discusses the importance and benefits of using social media for recruitment. It makes three key points:
1) Social media is not a fad and will continue growing in importance, so companies need to embrace it fully. Conversation is becoming the new currency.
2) Social media should be used internally as well as externally. Failing to do so will limit its effectiveness for recruitment and brand.
3) Big changes are coming to recruitment as it integrates more with social media and communities. Recruiters will need to shift focus from driving applicants to community growth and management.

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE? WHAT AGENCY HEADS WANT FROM PLANNERSAndreas Krasser
Creatives want planners to give them inspiring insights, single-minded propositions, and clear problem statements. Clients want frameworks, effectiveness, a bit of retro-engineering every now and then, and lately also crisis management advice. Planning heads want gut, empathy, curiosity, and interesting methods to unearth human truths. Suits usually want pretty PowerPoint decks. But what about agency heads? Do they even care?
This talk aims at giving a (slightly biased) perspective on agency leaders’ expectations for strategists. It will answer questions such as ‘what’s the value of strategy from an agency leadership perspective’ or ‘how do planners fit into the company’s overall growth agenda’. The topics covered also provide a blueprint for convincing agency leaders of strategy’s worth in case they’re too short-sighted to see it.
This document discusses the transformation of society from the Industrial Revolution to today's digital and social revolution.

The document also describes the business model of Seats2Meet.com, a company that facilitates serendipitous meetings through an online platform and physical locations.

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).

You no longer control access to the technology or content of the

the internet manifesting itself as it matures. But it is here to stay.
Social media isn't just a marketing channel - its the biggest
