7 principles of good intranet governanceMark Morrell
Recently I spoke at Intranatverk about some key governance principles that are common to successful intranets. Book cover - Digital success or digital disastersI took this subject from my book 'Digital success or digital disaster?' which a practical, experience-based approach to growing and managing a successful intranet.
The purpose of a governance framework is to ensure that you balance business needs with the user experience. An effective governance framework is essential for a well-managed intranet. It can be the deciding factor between a good user experience, greatly valued, and a poor user experience with little benefit. Every intranet is different depending on the size, type, and culture of the organisation it supports. However, there are some key governance principles that are common to their success.
Know your organisation
Define the scope
Put people first
Use all resources
Compare and benchmark
Do what you say you will do
Keep it legal
These principles for good governance are not like a menu that you choose which items to have and leave others alone. You need to follow all of these to build a strong foundation to improve your intranet and implement your strategy. Think about how you build a house with the foundations, walls, floors, windows, doors and finally the roof. It would not make sense for you to have windows, doors, and a roof only. The same applies to your governance framework.

BT developed an intranet strategy aligned with its overall business strategy. It established a governance model with central and content teams. The intranet strategy aimed to reduce costs and grow revenues by making information accessible from any device. BT defined formal, team, crowd, and personal content types with standards. It surveyed users annually and benchmarked its intranet, which was rated the top intranet in areas of strategy, communication, performance, and design.
The document discusses the Technical Observation Post (TOP), which is a proposed solution from the ITIL framework to address gaps between IT and business users as well as within the IT department itself. A TOP involves gathering specialists from across relevant technology areas to observe an IT system or service in real-time to identify issues or bottlenecks not found through existing monitoring tools. The document provides a 7-step plan for setting up a TOP and highlights benefits such as improving availability, fostering collaboration, and developing solutions without external consultants.
This document discusses how companies can successfully reengineer using information technology. It states that companies cannot reengineer if they only see technology as automation or look for problems first before considering technology solutions. To reengineer, a company must think inductively and use technology to simplify processes and do new things. The document provides examples of "old rules" disrupted by new technologies that created new opportunities, such as shared databases allowing information to be available in many places simultaneously. It emphasizes that leveraging new technologies to dramatically change business processes through reengineering must be an ongoing effort for companies.

The document emphasizes making contributions pleasant for collaborators and following up to recognize their impact.
The document discusses principles for software analysts and developers to follow when working with customers and managers. Some key points made include:
1) Look past a customer's initial feature request to understand the underlying real need and find simple, cost-effective solutions.
2) Consider needs beyond the primary customers by generalizing applications where possible.
3) Do not let customers pressure you into poor design decisions if their software expertise is limited.
4) Be honest with stakeholders and communicate changes promptly.

Living Sacrifice: The Shape of Worship in Everyday Lifepurple.pastor
This document discusses the concept of worship and defines it as having three components: praising God by acknowledging what is true about Him, repenting by acknowledging what is true about oneself, and committing oneself fully through self-surrender. It notes that humans naturally have a strong affinity for themselves that can undermine relationships if left unchecked and says undermining this requires rigorous self-examination, honest self-appraisal, confessing issues in one's life, and an active spiritual practice. It provides two Bible verses supporting the idea that how one treats others is the true measure of love for God and others.
The document discusses the importance of dreams and vision for teenagers. It notes that every achievement starts with a dream or vision. It encourages teenagers to seek their dreams, as money will follow, and dreams are more valuable than money. The document suggests that teenagers should be given a chance to pursue their dreams, and should be motivated by their dreams despite facing barriers or risk of failure. Parents are advised to believe in their children's potential and give them decision power over their own lives and futures.

Universal Reality is described correctly by TRUTHFUL INFORMATION... and TIME will be the great Judge.. I am a TRUTH SEEKER... a believing scientist and scientific believer
The document discusses collaboration tools and technologies for lawyers. It covers three key themes: that technology choices are about culture more than the tools themselves, that lawyers are already collaborating in some way, and that collaboration requires collaborating to choose tools. It provides many tips for selecting, implementing, and improving collaboration tools, such as starting with one tool, auditing current practices, aligning tools with business goals, and emphasizing culture over any single technology. The conclusion emphasizes that collaboration is important, culture influences tools, and clients are the most important collaborators.
The document discusses how businesses can minimize investment risk when adopting new technologies. It recommends finding a trusted technology advisor who understands the business goals and can evaluate technology solutions based on long-term costs and benefits rather than just purchase price. The advisor should consider options like leasing, managed services, or bundling purchases that can reduce costs over time. Doing research on potential technologies and consulting others' experiences can also help businesses make informed decisions to get the most value from their technology investments while mitigating risks.

Consumer Behaviour
CASE: I Toyota
Q1. In what ways is Toyota’s new-product development system designed to serve customers?
• Toyota’s engineering system allows it to take a new car design from concept to showroom in less than four years versus more than five years for U.S. companies and seven years for Mercedes.
• This cuts costs, allows quicker correction of mistakes and keeps Toyota better abreast of market trends.
• Toyota can get its advanced engineering and design done sooner
• “We are closer to the customer and thus have shorter concept time."
• New products are assigned to a chief engineer who has complete responsibility and authority for the product from design and manufacturing through marketing and has direct contacts with both dealers and consumers.
• Superior Interorganizational or network learning.
• facilitate knowledge sharing
• Each worker serves as the customer for the process just before hers, she becomes a quality control inspector.
• Eliminating waste is just one-third of the equation for making lean successful. Eliminating overburden to people and equipment and eliminating unevenness in the production schedule are just as important—yet generally not understood at companies attempting to implement lean principles.
• Work to level out the workload of all manufacturing and service processes as an alternative to the stop/start approach of working on projects in batches that is typical at most companies.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.

Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige 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:

19. Measure Results. How do you know whether this idea worked or not? Can you measure results?
20. Make it Sticky. By using technology to address key concerns for clients and to make it easy for them to work with you, you can create a “stickiness” in working with your firm and your systems. As a result, you increase the costs and effort for a firm that wishes to take a client from you.
21. Make it Reusable – and Take it to Other Clients. Some of your initiatives can be reused. Some might even be licensed as moneymakers for your firm or even sold as products, either by your firm or jointly with a client.
24. Internal Collaboration and External Collaboration Require Different Tools and Approaches When you change the context, re-evaluate the tools you use.
