Introducing Connections – Guerilla style

•

2 likes•992 views

When joining the world of corporate IT, theory meets practice and suddenly resource restrictions, tight schedules and competing projects are more important than the university textbooks had made believe. One can falter or garner a band of brothers (and sisters!) and find a way. This session will illustrate the corporate prerequisites of our initiative to introduce Connections to the workplace and discuss how we chose a guerilla approach of introducing connections into an environment that is – by law and tradition – weary of change. After shortly touching on the special setup of our organization, the requirements of our corporate IT and the situation in banking at large, we will review the steps that were taken to evolve our connections environment from a testing setup to first trial communities and from first use cases to a platform-strategy that has just started to get implemented. A case for taking small steps and being resistant to nagging.

Herding Presidents (and others) to the Promised Land

LetsConnect

In this case study, we’ll cover how a religious institution used IBM Connections to revolutionize how collaboration works within the non-profit. The initial group of users were hiring a new leader and 5 of the 15 users were current or past presidents of the organization. All of the users were influential in their professional lives and through persistence with patience, learned to embrace the IBM technology. The organization now uses it for many groups of users and the original group are internal evangelists, understanding the value of memorialized, searchable historical content along with current discussions. The case study will include how the software is licensed in an affordable way and managed by lay leaders along with internal staff.

Leading in a Digital Enterprise – the soccer model

LetsConnect

Dr. Peter Schütt gave a presentation on leading in a digital enterprise. He discussed how digital transformation is changing the focus to be more connectivity, interactivity, awareness, and intelligence-driven. This requires organizations to become more individual-centered, integrated, and contextual. Leading in this environment requires being more flexible, orchestrated, and cognitive. The transition to a digital enterprise has a huge impact and requires organizations to become more agile and change how people work and leadership. Dr. Schütt drew comparisons to leading sports teams and how coaches motivate and manage teams effectively.

The document outlines an agenda for a seminar on managing corporate reputation. It discusses what corporate reputation is, how it is shaped by corporate identity, image, and trust. It highlights the importance of reputation for attracting talent, customers, and investment. Examples are given of how Tesco rebuilt its reputation over a decade. The challenges of managing reputation in today's always-on world are also discussed.

The document discusses the challenges of leading organizational change and the importance of addressing the human aspects of change. It notes that 70% of change initiatives fail, often due to not considering the impact on employees.

This document discusses different approaches companies can take to social media and digital workplaces. It compares corporate styles to celebrities on a scale from 1 to 3: 1) "Digital dinosaurs" are one-way communicators like Donald Trump, closed to feedback. 2) "Teenagers" like Justin Bieber overshare personal details and are prone to social meltdowns. 3) "Groovy grownups" exemplified by Barack Obama are conversational, open to ideas, and community-driven. The document suggests most companies still behave like "digital dinosaurs" rather than embracing social, collaborative styles.

Charlene Li

This document discusses strategies for businesses to succeed in a world transformed by social media. It provides a six-phase framework for developing social business maturity: 1) Planning, 2) Presence, 3) Engagement, 4) Formalized, 5) Strategic, and 6) Transformation. The key lessons are that social strategies often fail due to a lack of clear business goals; strategy requires planning initiatives across departments and over multiple years; and transforming the business fully is the ultimate goal, where business itself is social.

It advocates developing visible experts within an organization who address timely business issues and have compelling insights to help decision-makers. These experts should have an online and real-world presence, demonstrate deep expertise, and protect their ideas. Measures of success should focus on how decision-makers engage rather than just distribution numbers. The goal is to get closer to revenue by targeting insights to individuals' decision processes.

The overall message is that digital transformation requires discipline, focus on the future, and addressing key challenges around business value, culture, technology, and implementation approaches.

Social Media Today

How do you build a social organization? We're not talking about tweeting and posting updates on Facebook. We're talking about an organization that collaborates internally using an enterprise social network (ESN). An ESN is an internal platform designed to foster collaboration, communication, and knowledge sharing among employees. If your company doesn’t use an ESN, consider more than 90 percent of Fortune 500 companies partially or fully implemented an enterprise social network by the end of 2013, according to Deloitte analysis. This is a 70 percent increase over 2011. We live in an age where marketing has been undergoing radical changes at such a rate that we’re still developing the best ways to accomplish work successfully. Each of the major aspects of digital marketing has developed in their own silos. Now we can gain enormous economies and efficiencies through more internal collaboration and by tearing down those silos. In this webinar, our panelists will share: -Company cultures that support information sharing and collaboration. -How to identify which business areas can benefit from increased communication. -Tips on choosing software for your company’s, department’s, and team’s needs. -Social networks aimed at businesses. -Ways to improve participation in enterprise social networks.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf

Paige Cruz

Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack. While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack. I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Cosa hanno in comune un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ?

Speck&Tech

ABSTRACT: A prima vista, un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ potrebbero avere in comune il fatto di essere entrambi blocchi di costruzione, o dipendenze di progetti creativi e software. La realtà è che un mattoncino Lego e il caso della backdoor XZ hanno molto di più di tutto ciò in comune. Partecipate alla presentazione per immergervi in una storia di interoperabilità, standard e formati aperti, per poi discutere del ruolo importante che i contributori hanno in una comunità open source sostenibile. BIO: Sostenitrice del software libero e dei formati standard e aperti. È stata un membro attivo dei progetti Fedora e openSUSE e ha co-fondato l'Associazione LibreItalia dove è stata coinvolta in diversi eventi, migrazioni e formazione relativi a LibreOffice. In precedenza ha lavorato a migrazioni e corsi di formazione su LibreOffice per diverse amministrazioni pubbliche e privati. Da gennaio 2020 lavora in SUSE come Software Release Engineer per Uyuni e SUSE Manager e quando non segue la sua passione per i computer e per Geeko coltiva la sua curiosità per l'astronomia (da cui deriva il suo nickname deneb_alpha).
