Harnessing the 'Bang': from Digital Disruption to Digital TransformationStephen Huppert
This document summarizes Stephen Huppert's presentation on harnessing digital disruption and digital transformation. It discusses how exponential technologies like artificial intelligence, the internet of things, and big data are enabling disruptors to quickly scale by leveraging digital platforms and resources outside their organizations. Examples are provided of how companies like Uber, Facebook, and Airbnb have become large by focusing on these strategies rather than owning traditional assets. The presentation argues that businesses must focus on the customer interface to survive increasing digital disruption.
Here are the key steps in implementing a knowledge management project:
1. Identify a specific problem, process or area for improvement within the organization that knowledge management can address. Starting with a focused project scope allows testing solutions on a smaller scale before broader rollout.
2. Map out the current knowledge flows and gaps related to the target area. Conduct interviews and analyze workflows to understand how knowledge is created, shared and utilized currently.
3. Define objectives and expected benefits. Be clear on what problem the project aims to solve and how success will be measured both quantitatively and qualitatively.
4. Select appropriate tools and technologies. Determine what platforms are needed to capture, codify and distribute knowledge most effectively for the target users

The document discusses improving techniques for independent verification and validation (IV&V) through the analysis of anomalies. It presents an approach using an incremental discretizer and Bayesian classifier to track anomalies in data over time. The approach was tested on flight simulator data and detected off-nominal conditions not present in prior data. The document argues that detecting anomalies could help address issues like those preceding the Challenger and Columbia disasters. It identifies opportunities to apply the techniques for fast-time monitoring in flight simulators and slow-time monitoring of software project data from IV&V to detect any unreported issues. The next steps proposed are to integrate the algorithms with active NASA data sources to assess if anomalies can be detected and repairs proposed.
The document summarizes a presentation given by Trisha Jansma from NASA on rolling out the new NASA Systems Engineering Framework. The presentation covered the following key points:
1) NASA established a Systems Engineering Excellence Initiative and Working Group to develop a common framework for systems engineering across the agency.
2) The framework focuses on people, processes, and technology and includes a new Systems Engineering Procedural Requirements document, implementation guides, and workforce training programs.
3) The framework aims to establish consistent processes, requirements, reviews, and a management plan template. Tools like a handbook and online community provide guidance on applying the framework.
The ITIC will examine NASA's IT infrastructure, software, and data environments to identify opportunities for improvement.

A toxic combination of 15 years of low growth, and four decades of high inequality, has left Britain poorer and falling behind its peers. Productivity growth is weak and public investment is low, while wages today are no higher than they were before the financial crisis. Britain needs a new economic strategy to lift itself out of stagnation.
Scotland is in many ways a microcosm of this challenge. It has become a hub for creative industries, is home to several world-class universities and a thriving community of businesses – strengths that need to be harness and leveraged. But it also has high levels of deprivation, with homelessness reaching a record high and nearly half a million people living in very deep poverty last year. Scotland won’t be truly thriving unless it finds ways to ensure that all its inhabitants benefit from growth and investment. This is the central challenge facing policy makers both in Holyrood and Westminster.
What should a new national economic strategy for Scotland include? What would the pursuit of stronger economic growth mean for local, national and UK-wide policy makers? How will economic change affect the jobs we do, the places we live and the businesses we work for? And what are the prospects for cities like Glasgow, and nations like Scotland, in rising to these challenges?

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

Confirmation of Payee (CoP) is a vital security measure adopted by financial institutions and payment service providers. Its core purpose is to confirm that the recipient’s name matches the information provided by the sender during a banking transaction, ensuring that funds are transferred to the correct payment account.
Confirmation of Payee was built to tackle the increasing numbers of APP Fraud and in the landscape of UK banking, the spectre of APP fraud looms large. In 2022, over £1.2 billion was stolen by fraudsters through authorised and unauthorised fraud, equivalent to more than £2,300 every minute. This statistic emphasises the urgent need for robust security measures like CoP. While over £1.2 billion was stolen through fraud in 2022, there was an eight per cent reduction compared to 2021 which highlights the positive outcomes obtained from the implementation of Confirmation of Payee. The number of fraud cases across the UK also decreased by four per cent to nearly three million cases during the same period; latest statistics from UK Finance.
In essence, Confirmation of Payee plays a pivotal role in digital banking, guaranteeing the flawless execution of banking transactions. It stands as a guardian against fraud and misallocation, demonstrating the commitment of financial institutions to safeguard their clients’ assets. The next time you engage in a banking transaction, remember the invaluable role of CoP in ensuring the security of your financial interests.
