Lawell Kiing gave a talk on lean and innovation. He discussed how lean principles like cross-functional teams, small batches, and eliminating waste can enable faster innovation at lower costs. However, lean alone does not guarantee innovation - other factors like priorities, leadership, culture and adapting to change are also needed. While lean removes barriers, companies must avoid using it just as a replacement process and instead foster an environment where diverse ideas can be tested and learning amplified. The overall goal of lean as it relates to innovation is to deliver value to customers as quickly as possible.

The Objective of this Manifesto is to define guiding principles around the Customer-Supplier working environment with regards to working on Scrum projects. The assumptions made are
•The environment is customer-supplier (i.e. an outsourced environment)
•The environment is distributed and may not be co-located
•The environment involves multiple vendors
The Customers and Suppliers are integrated elements of a working environment in a project. The Customers and Suppliers will work together with a common goal and that is “Producing Value for the End Customer”. This manifesto supports the Agile Manifesto Value “Customer Collaboration over Contract Negotiation”.

Why a hackathon is the best thing you can do to (re)launch a positive company culture.
Last year Dailymotion went through a deep re-organization of the engineering teams, we hired over 100 new employees, we threw out our old roadmap and we started over with a new clearly-defined, ambitious project. Within 3 months, we were well on our way to transforming ourselves into a new company and we needed to find again that old good vibe feeling whilst working to define a new culture.

Disrupting an Enterprise from the Inside: Our Story of Building a Start-Up to Compete with Ourselves
Chris Jackson, Director Cloud Product Engineering, Pearson
Working for a company as old as Morse Code that is trying to make a wholesale pivot to digital education services in a market ripe for disruption from new entrants is a recipe for an exciting challenge. In this talk we discuss Pearson's approach to managing this shift in focus and how we have taken the start-up mentality to heart building a new team with a new approach to challenge and drive change from within. We will touch on how we see our emerging DevOps capabilities scaling in a global company of over 40,000 people and what a seismic shift in technology does to the varied silos of a large distributed enterprise. We will share what has worked for us to create an opportunity to drive change and where we see our next challenges as we launch our first production services.

Katrina Novakovic "Default to Open: Creating a DevOps Culture"Fwdays
DevOps is not just having your Dev and Ops teams sit in the same room reporting to the same manager, introducing some agile tools, automating some manual steps of established processes and carrying on working the same way. You haven't actually changed the way the teams operate. Building a culture is at the core of DevOps adoption, and this involves a change in mindset.
This session will look at what key cultural characteristics made Red Hat the world's leading provider of enterprise Open Source solutions (spoiler alert: they are based on Open Source principals) and how you can apply these to your teams to break down silos and enhance openness, sharing and collaboration. There will be time for Q&A to answer your questions about relevant topics, such as remote teams, failing fast and any other barriers you are facing.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

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.

4. Innovation
Product and/or service that delivers a significant increase in the
“pleasure” of an existing process/product/service. Pleasure can be
measured as in efficiency, costs (economics) and/or user experience
7. Managing Chaos
Let Chaos Reign Structured Process
● Hard to start ● Rigid
● Lack of focus ● Another project
● Hard to sell ● Too much expectation
● Easy to give up ● Too focused
● No structure ● Hard to attract
8. Silos and homogeneity
Silos Homogeneity
•Development teams vs. •Same profession yields
test teams vs. doc same ideas
teams, etc… •Not open to outside point
•Hand offs, like an of views
assembly line •Does not understand the
•Only understand one part whole
of the assembly •Same work leads to same
•Idling, wastes, handoffs, d concepts
ependencies and
bottlenecks
12. LEAN Speed and Cost
•LEAN principles: deliver value as fast as possible, eliminate
waste
•Small batches in size and fixed length of time
•Practically, sprints are no more than 4 weeks, can even go 1
week
•Costs are incremental and iterative, unnecessary wastes such
as bottlenecks and handoffs are minimized
13.
14. LEAN Dealing with Unknown
ADAPTABILITY
MEASUREMENTS
AMPLIFIED LEARNING
15. Customers
•Concept of value is core to LEAN
•Value is from the point of view of the customer/user
•Value stream mapping is the concept of mapping where value
is delivered to the customer and eliminate those areas that
don’t
•Key is the concept of the prioritized backlog and demo to the
customer
•Getting customers and users feedback are often the forgotten
step
•LEAN forces the understanding of the customer and users to
be a core value and requirement
20. “It's not the strongest that
survive, nor the most
intelligent, but the one
most responsive to
change.”
Charles Darwin
21. Final Thoughts
•Important to remember that LEAN ≠ Innovation
•There are many other factors to innovation
•Things such as priorities, leadership, investments, culture,
environment, etc…
•What I want to show is that LEAN is not an inhibitor to
innovation, but that its principles are in fact enablers
•But you still need the other factors to succeed…
•Many companies implement LEAN/Agile as a process
replacement, this will not foster innovation just as the old
process did not foster innovation
•There are not many rules to LEAN. But if you break the core
rules/principles, the whole thing falls apart.
•Now, go do it and see for yourself (go gemba)
