For ImpulsEvent.nl I gave a keynote Reboot 2012. About how technology changes society and how we must use technology to overcome the problems the world is now facing.
The document discusses trends in technology and society. It notes that technology is accelerating social change and that people are now in control through social media and real-time communication. Data has become a valuable commodity, and privacy issues are increasingly important. The future will involve a transition from physical "atoms" to digital "bits." Social graphs and interest graphs are becoming more important on the evolving web. Big data and understanding the future will rely on gaining wisdom from information. Our tools increasingly shape us, and the brain is adapting to new technologies.
Analistenbureau Morgan Stanley voorspelt dat het mobiele web in de komende vijf jaar groter wordt dan het desktop web. Oftewel: dat internet meer via mobiele devices wordt gebruikt dan via 'normale' computers. Steeds meer mensen zijn bovendien in het bezit van twee mobiele telefoons: 1 zakelijk en 1 privé. In zeer korte tijd heeft mobiele media een enorme vlucht genomen. Kortom, mobiel is hot. Maar wat betekent dit nu? Voor individuen, voor organisaties en voor onze samenleving? En niet te vergeten: voor de communicatieprofessional?
The State of Sales & Marketing at the 50 Fastest-Growing B2B CompaniesMattermark
There’s a lot of information out there for sales and marketing professionals. In fact, as our friend Erik Devaney at Drift.com points out, a quick search of the term “sales and marketing advice” yields more than 90 million results on Google.
What’s more, there are tons of industry influencers who, on a regular basis, share their views on everything from content marketing and sales, to pricing and customer success. It’s a noisy conversation, and for many, a confusing one.
So, how do you make sense of it all?
By focusing on the sales and marketing efforts that actually produce results, not flash-in-the-pan engagement. But finding those results is a little challenging. That’s why we decided to put together our latest report with Drift.com, The State of Sales and Marketing at the 50 Fastest-Growing B2B Companies.
Using Mattermark data, we were able to identify the fifty high-growth companies in the U.S. and evaluate their marketing activities to understand which practices really moved the needle. In order to make the qualitative portion of our research more tangible, we evaluated each company on the list in light of how they approached content, customer communication, path to purchase, and pricing.
What we and the team at Drift.com discovered was surprising, to say the least.
What does the future look like? Is it a dark space where we’re suffering from varying degrees of techamphetamine or are we heading towards a Utopian fantasy of abundance and harmony?
Understanding that our basic human needs and wants barely change, we explore the future state of a range of topics; from our need for physical sustenance through to our age-long fascination of transcending the limitations of our biology.
Looking at the future from a human perspective, our potential for greatness is teetering on a fine line between darkness and hope. We’re banking on the latter.
The document discusses how information and technology are transforming our world. It describes how information has become highly addictive due to apps and social media, and how this affects control and engagement. It suggests we are moving from an atomic to a digital world where data is the new oil and everything is connected in real-time. New interfaces like brain-computer interfaces and skin interfaces will become more common as technology extends human capabilities. The conclusion is that people are increasingly people of the screen and that businesses need to innovate and experiment with emerging technologies.
This document discusses trends related to information and technology in 2020 and beyond. It notes that information has become the new currency and emotion, and that technology is accelerating social changes. Key trends examined include the rise of real-time communication and media, collaboration enabled by cloud technologies, the growing importance of data and its uses, and the development of augmented reality and brain interfaces that could merge humans with technology. The document also examines challenges like information overload, loss of privacy, and the potential dark side of these technological changes.
The document discusses how society is shifting from an industrial economy based on physical or "atom" resources to an information-based or "bits" economy. It notes that younger generations have grown up with digital technologies and there is now a large technological gap between older and younger generations. Additionally, the document addresses several issues that have arisen from the information age, such as information overload, loss of attention, filter bubbles, and challenges around privacy and control of personal data.
The document discusses how the global economy is transitioning from the mechanical age to the digital age of real-time information. It argues that the current economic system has become unsustainable and will face a total collapse, representing an opportunity to shape a new vision for the future. It also notes that the most adaptable entities will survive the crisis and global changes will require organizations to develop a new nature.

The document discusses major technological and economic paradigm shifts that are occurring. It notes that data has become the new oil and relations are more important than transactions. Trends covered include the flat world, crowdsourcing, and digital natives. The amount of digital data created is growing exponentially. The nature of firms is also changing and they must now engage communities to stay relevant in smarter markets that are evolving faster than most companies. The conclusion is that we are moving from an age of mechanical speed to a digital age of real-time.
The document discusses how technology is rapidly changing society and our way of life. Younger generations known as "digital natives" have never known a world without the internet and are fluent in new technologies. However, technology is also overloading our brains with information and fragmenting social connections. It raises questions about who controls information flow and how addictive digital devices have become for many. Overall it explores both the opportunities and challenges of living in an increasingly technology-driven world.
Data Pioneers - Sander Duivestein (ViNT) - Future of DataMultiscope
The document discusses several topics related to data, computing, and technology. It notes that the amount of data created every day is growing exponentially and will soon be at 5 exabytes every few minutes. This massive amount of data comes in different formats and is generated at increasing speeds. It also discusses how data and information are becoming more valuable resources and how technology is extending human capabilities by being ubiquitous and embedded in our environments. The future will see a greater focus on intention, augmented humanity through new interfaces, and ensuring technology empowers instead of overwhelms people.
The document discusses the growing amount of data being created and how new technologies like cloud, social media, mobile, and analytics are fueling unprecedented data growth. It emphasizes that social media is a major driver of big data and describes how companies can analyze social media data to gain insights. Finally, it discusses privacy issues raised by big data and proposes solutions like personal data lockers and vendor relationship management to help individuals maintain control over their data.
The document discusses the potential of big data and how data science can be used to predict customer behavior and outcomes. It notes big data will transform our lives and work, touching on predictive crime analysis, personalized customer experiences, and how data defines personal identities and can trigger actions. The document advocates getting ready to take advantage of these changes and opportunities that big data brings.
The document discusses the evolution of smart, connected devices and things from passive objects to responsive and anticipatory networks to autonomous intelligent systems. It outlines three lines of development: passive dumb objects, responsive anticipatory objects and networks, and autonomous intelligent objects, networks and systems. It also notes challenges around a lack of standardization and protocols, user overload, and privacy/security issues. Finally, it advocates a focus on intelligent systems and services rather than individual devices.
The document discusses big data and its implications. It notes that the amount of data created every few days now exceeds what was created from the dawn of civilization until 2003. It also discusses the three V's that define big data: volume, velocity and variety. The document outlines both the potential of big data, including enabling new forms of measurement and powering the next industrial revolution, as well as business opportunities it creates, such as using social analytics to predict customer behavior. It concludes by noting that the information revolution lacked an instruction manual and that accelerated change is the only constant.
The document discusses how to approach big ideas in today's digital world. It advocates defining the creative brief, big idea, and engagement strategy in a more participatory way that considers how technologies and culture have changed. Specifically, it recommends:
1) Fueling the brief by understanding real problems and how audiences participate rather than just saying things at people.
2) Defining ideas as platforms that live on and are generous, multifaceted, responsive, and propagated rather than just TV campaigns.
3) Awesifying ideas by building ecosystems and engagement strategies tailored to cultural behaviors on channels like social networks, rather than just disrupting them.
4) Using the RISE framework to recruit,
The document discusses emerging technologies and their impact on society. It explores how technologies like wearables, smart devices, artificial intelligence and biotechnology are augmenting and extending human capabilities. Key topics covered include smart cities and the Internet of Things, privacy concerns regarding data collection, the relationship between humans and machines, and how technology is blurring the boundaries between humans and machines. The document suggests that accelerating technological change is inevitable and questions how society can best prepare for and adapt to an increasingly augmented reality.
The document summarizes key developments in the charity sector over the past 25 years from 1987 to 2012. It discusses:
1) Major milestones and organizations that shaped the sector such as the Ethiopia famine in 1984, establishment of the Charity Commission in 1853, and founding of Oxfam in 1948.
2) How transparency and reporting standards changed dramatically with new regulations in the 1980s-1990s including SORP, helplines, and degree programs.
3) Despite changes, many of the largest charities from 1985 remain among the top charities today, with few replacements among the top 50 organizations.
4) Ongoing trends and questions around pension liabilities, public

Local Economic Development (LED) and Urbanism for the Israeli Mayors' InstituteNachman Shelef
Local economic development is most effective in cities, as cities have natural economic advantages over other areas. Cities benefit from economies of scale and agglomeration that lower costs and drive innovation. Well-planned cities that are compact, mixed-use, and offer diverse transportation options best leverage these advantages by facilitating interaction, opportunity, and access to talent, customers, suppliers, and resources. LED initiatives are most straightforward in great cities and become increasingly difficult in smaller cities and towns lacking the self-sustaining momentum of major urban areas. Urban planning and transportation play key roles in creating the conditions that allow cities to fulfill their potential as engines of economic growth.
The document discusses collaborative innovation and breakthrough thinking. It describes how collaboration allows teams to solve more ambitious problems, generate more diverse ideas and solutions, and implement solutions faster, cheaper and better. The document also discusses how problems are crucial to creativity, and outlines a breakthrough innovation process involving inspiring people to change, igniting passion around problems, collaborating for solutions, gaining deep insights, implementing strategies, and inventing new models.
The document outlines several trends uncovered over the past year that could impact brands, including:
- Maker/DIY technology growth with events, 3D printing, fashion hacking, and repair movements.
- Co-creating through collaboration on ideas, marketing, and projects using tools like GitHub.
- Engagement media through social viewing, augmented reality, interactive content, and second screen usage.
- A connected world with the Internet of Things, wearable devices, and objects communicating.
- Alternative currencies that redefine value in terms of time, influence, activities and personal data.
- Data filtration to manage information overload through selection, shopping, social media, and efficiency tools.
Dynamics Day 2012 The Data driven businessIntergen
Rod Oram's presentation agenda included discussing the world, revolution, New Zealand opportunities and paradoxes facing companies.

Oram argued that businesses need to radically transform operations through sustainability in order to meet human needs at global scale in complex, risky conditions.
Big Society - Does it add up? by Kevin Carey, RNIBCFG
The document summarizes a presentation given by Kevin Carey on how charities need to adapt to a postmodern age. Some key points are:
1) Modernism ended in the late 20th century due to technological developments like the internet and political changes like the fall of communism.
2) Postmodernism values self-centeredness, identity, equality, and participation over hierarchies and universal truths of modernism.
3) Charities need to foster participation, personal experiences, and empowering events to adapt to these postmodern values.
4) Carey proposes major changes for charities like switching to product development and transparency over traditional campaigning and contracting models.
This document provides an overview of a workshop on shaping sustainable futures. It introduces Forum for the Future and their work on sustainability challenges. The workshop will explore citizen-driven innovation, scenarios for sustainable societies in Europe in 2050, and how participants can help enable positive futures. Activities include discussing innovations seen today, key changes over 20 years, and what lifestyles may be like for different 2050 scenarios. The goal is for participants to reflect on pathways to sustainable futures and how they can support each other as citizen innovators.
The document contains questions and answers from multiple rounds of an IT quiz competition. In Round 1, questions covered topics like GE's three strategic circles concept, marketing demographics, companies like Infosys and Intel, and who won a Grammy award in 2008. Round 2 questions asked about events related to companies like Reliance and ICICI Bank. Subsequent rounds covered topics in business, technology, current events and more.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their MainframePrecisely
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.
