Harnessing the Power of Entrepreneurs to Open Innovationaccenture
Entrepreneurs and startups are crucial to economic growth and job creation. Yet despite the mythology that has built up around the disruptive power of startups, the overwhelming majority need to leverage the market presence and scale of larger, established enterprises if they are to be truly successful. Meanwhile, large companies are feeling pressure to innovate and become more entrepreneurial, yet find their culture and structures getting in the way. Large companies and entrepreneurs need to collaborate more effectively and take a journey towards more Open Innovation. But how?

As the number of deals continues to proliferate, enterprise IT will continue to serve as either an enabler or a barrier to realizing value in M&A. But with new cloud platforms and Xaas delivery models, transformation during integration will unlock new opportunities, accelerating deal value and boosting overall competitiveness. Making it work will require CIOs to be involved pre-deal as part of the M&A strategy team—as one of the ‘co-pilots’ in the process.

Dear Ms. Doe,
Attached is our report, Public-Private Partnerships in U.S. Infrastructure Construction. The report is intended to inform you and the committee about the ethical concerns with public-private partnerships for infrastructure construction. Public-private partnerships are a recent method of funding public construction projects. Because of their relative newness, it is important to understand the challenges and risks involved, and know how to take steps to mitigate ethical concerns.
This report will give a background of public-private partnerships, and how they are being used to solve funding challenges in US infrastructure construction. Then it will go over ethical concerns, and potential solutions. Finally, we will discuss a recommended course of action. From our research, we found that when developing contracts for public-private partnerships, it is important to pay attention to factors such as the concession period and the organization of the project. Doing so can help address ethical concerns with these projects, and make it overall more efficient.
We hope that you find the attached report informative. If you have any further questions or concerns, we can be reached at [phone number]
Sincerely,

INTRODUCTION
According to the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), the U. S. infrastructure receives just “a single grade above failure” (Halsey, 2013). A report has even calculated a cost of “$661 million” to repair just one bridge in Washington, D. C. Another report has also indicated the U. S. interstate system celebrating its 60th anniversary just last year, leaving its people with “many roads and bridges (are) in need of repair or expansion” (Lieb, 2016). In addition to that, some cities have even considered private equity firms “to manage their waterworks” (Ivory, 2016). As a result, the U.S. government is desperately in need of funds to help repair its current infrastructure. One of the increasingly popular ways is utilizing public-private partnerships to help fund those projects. Therefore, we would like to inform you about the ethical issues presented as a result. This paper will give you a background about the issue, the ethical concerns, and recommended actions that could help eliminate those issues. BACKGROUND

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Smithy Ruby is an implementation of Smithy that generates a Ruby SDK using a Smithy model. In this talk, we will explore Smithy and Smithy Ruby to learn how to generate custom feature-rich SDKs that can communicate with any web service, such as a Rails JSON API.

The problem here in the 21st century is our whole society is moving faster, is changing faster. And the distance between what our society expects and what our governments are able to deliver is widening and that creates a legitimacy gap. And I think one of the fundamental issues that governments have to deal with is how do we close that gap? How do we get closer to delivering not just the services, but the way we deliver services in a way that our citizens have come to expect, innovation, invention, that’s really the way to get there and that won’t happen without leadership.

If you can have government in your pocket, and you pretty much can, and if you can individually interact with your government and get the kind of services you want, so think 311, I can call, I can talk to somebody or I can communicate online individually and I can individually get a response. This is totally changing the way we understand how citizens interact with these public sector organizations. And that’s only going to accelerate as time goes on. I now see governments catching up, actually starting to think about how can they make social media part of how I deliver service? How can I use these tools and techniques to bring citizens in and make them part of, not just part of consuming the services, but actually part of creating the services? This is radically altering in how we think about government. And it’s taking us back to a really old idea which was government was really us. And I think in many, many ways, we’re headed back toward sort of the 18th century model, that sort of that town meeting model that said, you know it’s us. We do this work together and the technology is now going to make it possible when there’s millions or hundreds of millions of us, when it was only possible in the old days when there were a few.

I think one of the toughest challenges or barriers in beginning this journey is trying to make sure that we allow the commitment and participation from the employees and directors and agencies to evolve and that takes some time. And so it’s somewhat easy to say, well, here’s the strategic planning pieces of it and this is what we have to do, but trying to get the engagement and the participation, call it the messy participation in state government because you want to hear those voices and challenges that people might have with that and that takes time. And so I think for us starting out in 2013, it took about six months for a lot of that to kick in at the highest level with the directors and the deputy directors. And certainly could we have gone faster? Absolutely, but it took time to get that commitment and we’re at a good place now where they’re very committed to the work we’re doing.

So I could think of several ways how we’ve changed the way we do business with governments from a citizen perspective and one of those areas is just simply about transparency. Entering our department of licensing, our driver’s license offices and being able to see as you’re driving there that there’s – you’re going to have about a 20 minute wait. And so you can make a decision to go then or come back or go get your number and come back and so the wait time’s decreasing, but also that transparency about expectation management with that. I think, you know, the direction we’re headed is really powerful because it’s getting citizens interested in the work that we’re doing. It’s making it real for them and so anytime we can do that and share the data, share the information and bring them in as partners. That will help us and help them.

So I think what’s really happening right now is the lines between organizations are getting blurred. Not just within any sector, whether it be a public sector or private sector, but things that traditionally government had to do just because there were no competing resources outside of government to do it, can now be done either by public/private partnerships or by the public directly. So if you look at the example of in your pocket, your smartphone has as much computing power as President Reagan had in the early 1980s that the Pentagon had. That’s now available to the public. And so the public can now do things traditionally government had to do, if they want to.

…we’ve already had some early wins with our release of new consumer help desk effort that demonstrated that we could take something that even asking the private sector, private sector quoted it would take between eighteen and twenty four months and 3.2 million dollars to do it on site. We choose not to do it on site, we went straight to a public cloud offering, software as a service and we were able to get done in less than six months. And instead of it being 3.2 million it was only 450,000, so one sixth the price. So that demonstrates that we can now go forward with this approach and do it for the other systems as well.
