Learning for the Extended Enterprise: Leveraging Your Value ChainHuman Capital Media
Companies are increasingly realizing their own business results are impacted not only by their own employees, but also by the employees and individuals across their value chain. These suppliers, partners, distributors, subcontractors, resellers and customers are referred to as the extended enterprise. Investing in learning that ensures better informed and better trained employees and customers across this extended enterprise is a critical business strategy necessary to compete successfully in today's highly competitive environment.
In this webinar, Lance Dublin, an industry expert and dynamic webinar leader, will discuss how to describe the extended enterprise for your organization and identify where learning can add the most value. He will review mini-case studies of organizations who are involved in these initiatives and summarize the key insights from their successes and mistakes. And finally he will identify five critical steps you can and should take to be successful in leveraging learning across your extended enterprise.
Software Development Innovation in Practice - 33rd Degree 2014Wojciech Seliga
Slides from my presentation at 33rd Degree conference.
Many companies from software industry deal with the problem of maintaining its innovative character over the course of time, especially after achieving bigger size and the maturity. Innovation is difficult (or impossible) to measure and calculate its ROI. However losing innovation means sooner or later the end of the business.
So some of the big bosses of big corporations even cry - “Innovation happens elsewhere” - or simply conclude that maintaining innovation is only possible via ongoing acquisitions of smaller, still innovative companies. We witness it very frequently.
Wojtek will share his insights about which values, rules and practices one can foster or apply in a software company (of any size) to let its employees implement their most ambitious and crazy dreams which is the key to the innovation.
Introduction

We will identify how you can increase your skills to enhance your worth. We will also discuss ways to define and sharpen your value proposition.

Setting the Customer's Journey: Walk a Mile In Your Customer's ShoesAggregage
Product professionals use phrases like "voice of the customer," and "user experience" so often that it can be easy to lose sight of their actual meanings. This phrase blur is dangerous, as it can pull our attention from what should be our real focus: our our customers' and users' needs. How can we, as product professionals, learn to keep customers and users at the heart of our work?
Join Steven Haines, globally recognized thought leader and author, as he guides us through a memorable journey demonstrating how you can walk a mile in your customer's shoes. He'll explore how, by developing true empathy for your users, you can ensure you're creating the features and products they actually want.

Raising Venture Capital - presented at Miami Idea Center 2/19/15Sean Ammirati
The question Leandro Finol (Executive Director @ The Idea Center) put to me was what gets me interested in investing in a given startup. The slides were my attempt to synthesize the last 3 years into a response.
Building Innovative Products with AgileSean Ammirati
Workshop for Carnegie Mellon's Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship on taking an agile approach to building innovative products.
Covers: minimally viable [awesome] products
examples of MVPs
Scrum
Great quotes from historical leading thinkers (Einstein) to contemporary (Tim O’Reilly & DJ Patil) have to say about the power, use and analysis of data.
Minimally Awesome Products - Lean Entrepreneurship Carnegie Mellon Sean Ammirati
One of the concepts talked about a lot when discussing Lean Startups is that of an MVP or Minimally Viable Product. After having too many entrepreneurs present to me Minimally Crappy Products, I've renamed these Minimally Awesome Products. However, the core concept remains the same. Building the least amount of product possible (in an awesome way) that delivers the maximum amount of validated learning.
It's important to understand how big an opportunity is before deciding if you are going to invest your time and money (plus possibly other people's money) into a startup. We'll talk through different approaches to figuring this out in this week's lecture.
Elevator Pitch - Lean Entrepreneurship Carnegie MellonSean Ammirati
Every entrepreneur needs to be able to give a quick and compelling elevator pitch. This lecture prepares students to give their elevator pitch next week for the idea they'd propose focusing on for the rest of the course.
A talk I gave at the Tepper School of Business at CMU on my entrepreneurial journey. I used the LinkedIn maps to talk about some of my early networking and then focused in on the underlying assumptions driving the creation of Birchmere Labs and how that came to be. Alsok
I believe the concept of an “MVP” (or minimally viable product) is both one of the most powerful concepts for entrepreneurs thinking through their product strategy and also one of the most misunderstood / misused terms by entrepreneurs today. These are my opinion of the five biggest misunderstandings about MVPs.
What do you do once you have product market fit? There is an entire science to generating growth once they've achieved the first milestone of p/m fit and it's not as simple as "hire a growth hacker."
Raising Capital for Your Startup - Lean Entrepreneurship Carnegie MellonSean Ammirati
Many very successful businesses have been and will be built without raising venture capital. However, for certain high growth businesses one or multiple rounds of growth capital are necessary
Customer Discovery is the first of four steps in the Customer Development process originally documented in Steve Blank's The Four Steps to the Epiphany.
The important thing to figure out as an entrepreneur at this step of development is: Does your product / service solve a problem for an identifiable group of users?

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.
